ROOF OF THE CONTINENT CONQUERED
TIJK "top oi tlu' continent" has boon scaled, not by Ih\ Cook..!
in?r yet b Professor ilerschel Parker, but by a clergyman?
Rev. A chdcacon Hudson Stuck, and companions. All are
seasoned A alkalis, hence the success that crowned their ell'orts.
Air. MeKit: . y is tlu- highest peak of the North American
continent, at . .ill t-; forts hitherto made to reach its topmcrst;
I?iiit resulted : failure. It is a matter of congratulation that the!
feat was accomplished bv real Alaskans; but who else could have!
been expected t do it? In deeds of this kind, where strength,*
endurano and intelligence are needed, who are better fitted than'
these men <>.' he North v ho know the country and its conditions'
and who are nured to every phase of the rugged life that thei
hard>" exploit : and voyagei*. must meet?
i am > nt name of Mt. .McKinley was Di-na-le. By that I
nana t wa.> Known long before the Russians acquired a foot
hold .11 tlu country. Snow-capped, silent, majestic for uncounted
Centura s perhaps the aborgines had gazed upon it with both awe
and atlection. for was not the mountain which stood watch and
ward with P.-na-le, now called by the prosaic name of .Mt. For
aker, known > the ancients as "Di-an-le's Wife?"
What son of ?? geographer it was who changed the names
of thesi grand mountain peaks we do not know, but, it is sub
mitted. almos* sacrilege was committed when the nomenclature'
was thus "improved." Some sentiment might have inspired J
the substitution <>! "McKinley" for De-na-le. but surely there was
no M-niiment. apparent or real, in the changing of the name of
I)i-na-le> helpmeet to "Foraker"?a name that stands for little
that is l(?:t> ?>r inspiring in American history.
Dr. Frederick A. Cook wrote a book in which he detailed
with some circumstantially, but little verisimilitude, his alleged
scaling Mt. Mckinley. I?ut the world will doubtless get in
book form tlu adventures of Archdeacon Stuck and his brave
companioi s u ale conquering the roof of the continent. And the
book will be worth while.
A I'ittsiuigh man happily announces that he has invented
a typewriter that can spell. What will he do when she gets
married ?
INI ERENDKNCK DAY CELEBRATIONS
MOST of the leading Alaska towns are busy making prepara
tions for the celebration of Independence Day. The fires
of patriotism seem to be burning more brightly than for
several years past. The people are more hopeful; they afe tak
ing on new courage, for the clouds of depression that have been
hanging low for half a lecade bid fair to be dissipated by the
sun of prosperity that is already beginning to rise.
This feeling is as gmeral as it is welcome; and so Alaska
towns wii oyfully celebrate the glorious Fourth. Juneau will
put on her best attire and "cull out a holiday," and so will her
neighbor- Douglas; and Sitka, the ancient capital, now coming
into a new lif. and new prosperity,will observe the Nation's one
hundred ami thirty-seventh bithrday in a manner befitting the
oldest town on the l'acilic Coast. Thus the old and the new?
Sitka the "ancient of days" long-forgotten, and Ruby-on-the
Vukon, youngest of Alaska towns?will acclaim the day that I
marked the foundation of a new and now mighty nation and
the beginning o! a new freedom whose benign influences have
girdled the earth.
Speaking <>f climbers, what about Archdeacon Stuck? He
is strictly entitled to be somewhat stuck-up over his success in
getting up in the world. What?
LIVING AND LEARNING
AX OFFICIAL of tht Wells Fargo Express Company is quot
ed as saying that the gross business of the express com
panies has not been seriously diminished by the parcel
l>o>t: that the loss in the small package business has been virtual
ly offset by gains in tra lie where the post does not compete.
This, then, is the result of a public convenience against which
the combined express companies were arrayed for years. It was as
serted again and again that a parcel post system would be in
jurious to the companies to an extent that would amount to
ruin. So strongly was the argument impressed upon Congress
that the establishment of a parcel post on adequate scale was
delayed for twenty years.
There is, however, nothing in the outcome to surprise those
who have given any attention to the operation of economic forces.
The creation of a new energy or a new facility always generates
new wealth and new activities to make use of it. Build a rail
road across a desert and people will go there and found cities.
Invent a typewriting machine and you do not drive secretaries
out of business but make a demand for five times as many as
before. Daniel Webste:* believed the opening of Western lands
for homesteads would craw labor from New England and check
its prosperity. Grave and reverend Senators denounced Seward's
purchase of Alaska, ant denominated it an ice-box. The express
companies are learning only what every generation of conserva
tives learned before them?that the blessings of progress come
to them as well as the progressives.
DEMAND FOR ROADS
FROM ALL ALASKA
The Alaska Koad Commission has
received rnanv petitions and requests
from ail sections of the district call
ing for aid and urging the construc
tion of better roads and trails, but the
limited appropriations of Congress
have badly handicapped the work and
favorable action cannot be taken this
year.
Col. W. P. Richardson, president of
the road commission, is hopeful that at
the next session of Congress appro
priations will be passed allowing the
commission to build roads and traile
i to the many sections of the Territor>
now crying for roads that its resourcet
may be opened and developed.
"Few people can realize," said the
Colonel, "the great mineral resources
of the Territory unless they have trav
eled as I have Into many of the new
sections being developed by the pros
pectors and miners, who so frequent
ly plead for roads they need and which
they are entitled to have constructed,

If Congress could be brought to re
alize the great undeveloped wealth
of the country depending upon the con
struction of wagon roads and trails
for their development large sums
would be given the commission for
