Montana Man Is Ranger
AT Mount Mckinley Park

Montanans returning from travels
to distant parts of the globe frequent
ly bring stories of having met other
MontananS in out-of-the-way places.
Now comes Raymond Mcintyre, son
of Mr. and Mrs. William Mcintyre,
Treasure state visitors are frequent at
Mount Mckinley national park in
Alaska, where young Mcintyre is a
park ranger.
Mcintyre spent several weeks in
Montana recently on his annual leave,
but has now returned to the north
land for the summer.

the winter months he and his partner,
John Rumohr, were cut off from the

could be reached by planes using skis
or by dog team If necessary.

The tourist season is from June is

climbing is not allowed only under

the first time in 1910 by the Sour

was scaled again by one party, but a
second group met with disaster, two
men meeting death.
THE park wildlife includes caribou

The park is reached by means of
the Alaska railroad from Seward.
Among the Montanans met in the
park were Harry Lick, former super
intendent: Sam Houston and Ted Og-
ston, former rangers, and we had many
Montana visitors.
I'VE have two dog teams stationed
at Wonder lake and they bring plenty
of excitement into the lives Of the
rangers .Hitching up a seven-dog team
is real job. You make the sled secure
with a line to a post, then you bring
and attach them to the tow line. If
battle starts. which is common, an
empty five-gallon kerosene can is the
best weapon to use And you have to
use it because the dogs are fighting
for keeps. The lead dog usually runs
slips the anchor line and then hangs
on, for the dogs don't wait for any
command They take out at a dead
run and for the first mile the driver
is busy hanging onto his sled and
trying to keep it upright

AT the end of a mile the pace
slackens and the dogs can travel as

To introduce the onion flavor into
salads and cooked dishes in more
subtle way than by the outright use
of onions, the amateur gardener may
grow chives and leeks.
Chives are perennial, and besides
producing tubular leaves which add
just the right accent to bowl salad
and cottage cheese. they bear lovely
mauve blossoms. You can start them
from seeds, or by dividing the roots
of established plants. and they will
make a most attractive border for a
garden path, living many years.
Leeks are always cooked, and many
esteem them superior to onions, in a
stew. They are grown from seed, and
should be transplanted for best re-
suits. The English gardeners pride
themselves on exhibition leeks which
may be grown in this manner: When
the plants are about as thick as a
lead pencil lift them, and set each
one in a hole made with dibber. Do
not fill the hole, but merely cover
the roots at the bottom with earth
Glacier County chief. [volume] (Browning, Mont.) 1931-1940, 1940-05-31

and let the hole fill naturally with
washed earth. In rich soil the leeks
will grow to diameter of an inch
or more.
If you want to accumulate a stock
of garlic, assuming your consumption
of this article is larger than the av-
erage, you can do it by planting the
small garlic cloves. Shallots. another
form of the onion used chiefly for
cooking and having a mild flavor. are
grown from sets which may be planted
in the fall where the winters are mild,
and in the spring in colder states.
Both green and mature onions may
be grown from sets or seeds. Sets pro
duce the earliest green onions. and
for this purpose they should be plant
ed two to three inches deep, for ma
ture onions not so deep.
All onions are hardy, and Egyptian
or perennial onions are true perennials
living many years in cold weather
states They are grown from sets
planted in the fall and produce green
onions as soon the ground thaws out
in the spring.
