New Member C. D. Beale, Manager of the Coli- seum and Capitol Theatres, was introduced at the meeting as a new member. George A.

McKinley Na- tional Park, which he“described en- thusiastically as “the greatest scenic place of beauty in the country.” Snow made it impossible for him to climb further than Sable Pass, ani once again he was disappointed in seeing the wild animals he had hoped for; but he declared it his honest ‘opinion that the park will become a bigger and better attrac- tion for tourists with -every year and that it #il be recognized as America's greatest beauty ground, From McKinley, Mr. Ziorn ck went to Curry, and from there, with Col. Otto Ohlson of the Alaska Railread, he proceeded to Ana age, and eventually to Matanuska. Architect Jacobs of the Colony had provided Mr. Zioncheck with fine blueprints of the plans of the | colonists’ homes, the community house and school, the hospital, and, most important, a large blueprint of the entire project, showing the location of each plot and the roads leading to it. “Most pecple in the Wates vision the colony laid out like an exag ated picture of a- city block,” he said. “They think the forty-acre tracts lie in a straight row, rubbing shoulders with each other, or in a square through which equally- spaced lines have been drawn.” On the map, however, he pointed out the actual scattered locations of the farms. “They Ilocated them' where the £0il was most uniform,” he said. “If they .had laid them out in exact zeometric order, with no open spaces between, some of the farm- ers would have been unable to make a living because of the soil condi- tions and the layout of the ground.” Commenting upon the thorough The Magic BEAUTIFUL LINE NOW ON DISPLAY AT THE Hardware Co.
