It now caters to the public and it's comfort Passengers may step aboard comfortable Pullman car, go to bed, and wake up in Anchor age. ready for days work or a visit with friends. The scenery along the route between Fairbanks and Seward, railroad terminus. is spectacular and summertime trips make the most of the daylight.
 Mt Mckinley Park. also owned by the government. is midway be-. tween Anchorage and Fairbanks and offers excellent accommoda- lions for visitors who want to tour. the Park and it's surrounding area. Much of the freight coming into the Territory is hauled by the railroad. Its dependable service is relied up- on by thousands of retailers in both summer and winter
 The airplane is the most popular means of transportation in the Ter Titory. For this reason Alaskans are termed the "flyingest people" in the world Thousands of acres and miles of land fall away under the wings of accomplished airline and bush pilots who haul passeng- ers and freight into remote areas by the ton each year.
 Many villages and communities rely completely on air service for everything they get. Fairbanks is the home of the oldest established Territorial airline, pioneered by Mo- el Wien. Pan American World Air ways makes daily trips to the Gold en Heart city from Seattle. Plans call for Fairbanks to be the aerial heart of the world one day. with planes to and from the Orient and Europe stopping here. There are over 300 airports here in the Terri fery and more than 50 facilities for airplanes.

heart of Alaska with food, and freight Because of the facilities of the trucking industry many new business firms have come North to expand An endless stream of huge trucks and traiIers may be seen winding their way over the high ways every day of the year. An estimated 12,000 tons of freight are hauled into the Territory every month by truck.
 Dog teams were once the primary source of transportation in Alaska. Today, they are no longer the lead ing transportation link in the north. but they are still in use. In the vil- lages, dog teams still haul freight, or carry their owners out on trapline. Some teams are still used by the Natives for hunting pur- poses.
 Supplying the life for Ladd and Eielson is the Haines-Fairbanks pipeline which carries the fuel to the planes based at these and other interior military installations in the Territory The $40,000,000 pipeline stretches 626 miles from the port of Haines to Fairbanks. The steel fuel artery was built because ships car rying the commodity would be too vulnerable to attack.
 Steamships to and from the States. as well as some riverboats. are in operation hauling freight and pas sengers to ports from which they can be relayed by truck or plane to their destinations. Several large steamship lines serve the Territory daily, as do military ships. Many communities up and down the many rivers of Alaska are supplied by boat service
