...alpine valley of unparalleled beauty, a spruce-and-birch wilderness without roads or ski lifts or other signs of human intrusion. Only the howl of the wind-or of an occasional wolf-now disturbs the silence. But man is on the way. Last week the Alaska capital site planning commission chose the design of a new state capital to rise in the valley.
