8 HARRY LIEK GIVEN SOME DISTINCTION g Superintendent of Mt. Mc- Kinley Park Has Per- haps Set Two Marks SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., March 29. Special)—A visit this week to Death Va National Monument brougl y Liek, Superintendent al Park in 1 new tir va on of being the only man in the count- tood on the hi slevations in United Stat y, the regional office the Park Service, Department Interior, reveals Several years ago Superintendent Liek attained international fame by reaching both summits of McKin- ley, the south peak of which is 20,- 300 feet high and the north peak 300 feet lower. This feat was plished until 1932 and has repeated since. Although there have been a number of at- te Mt, McKinley is the highest mountain the United States possess- es Death Valley reaches the opposite exireme. When Superintendent Liek visited Badwater he was 280 feet below sea level, even though he was only a few miles from snow-covered Telesecope Peak, over 11,000 feet high high, at Badwater he was 20,580 feet below its summit. Superintendent Liek plans to re- turn to Alaska in April to begin est of Natior of the not not ce been preparations for the 1939 travel sea- | son. Even though the Park is far in- land, 348 miles from Seward the closest railhead on the coast and 123 miles from Fairbanks, the In- terior Alaska metropolis, summer avel has been showing consistent ase. Five trains a week arrive from these cities at McKinley sta- tion. There is little or no tourist automobile travel. A new hotel is near completion in the park and will be in readiness for visitors next summer, Superinten- dent Liek reported The principal scenic feature is, of course, Mt. McKinley, rising 17,- 000 feet directly above its 3000 foot timberline. However, nearby are M¢! Foraker, 17,000 feet high, Mt. Hunt- er, 14960 and Mt. Russell, 11,600 feet. All of the largest northward flowing glacier sfrom the Alask: Mountain Range have their source on McKinley and Foraker. - D OLD IRON SHIPS NEVER WEAR OUT LONDON, Maxch ental trade, complain that merchant fleets of Scandinavian countries contain old vessels built of iron which never seem to wear out With modernized engine and cargo space they compete advantag- eously with other boats. A list of vessels under 3,000 tons built before 1890 shows that 84 are still on the register. One of them is 74 years old. e JAPANESE GEAR BOYCOTTED BY PURSE SEINERS, The Alaska Salmon Purse Seiners !

Among the reasons given for this' action in the preamble to the reso- lution, it is stated that Japanese fishermen, under government sub- idy, in recent years have attempt- ed to make inroads upon American fishing grounds that they are now undermining the Southern Califor- nia fishermen by underselling meathods; that government subsidies and cheap coolie labor enable Japan to undersell American producers in the American and British markets, | at the expense of American fisher- men; that the Japanese promote s ) t {seum library of nearly 5,000,000 cisco where he took in the Golden sales of their products by an un-|yolumes, will have to remain in | Gate International Exposition. ethical practice of camouflaging'Iondon and run the risk of air | Bt B N ee e a u.uur products with pictures of Am [bombardment in the even of war LEFT WITHOUT ROOF j erican canneries and white fisher- | Anp officials say. | BIGGLESWADE, England, — Mr. | w o r k men, misleading European buyers; gp o nd Mrs. F.
