rHE HEIaHr or rHE MOUNTAIN
DIR. Riley Made His Measurements I've
Years Ago.

The otympisn.
Last year Prof. 4. g. Piummer, Of Ta-
coma, announced that Mount Rainier W as
higaer than 14.44 feet with which It is
credited. aud now Prof Ingrahsm has re-
turned from the top of the mountain with
the news that his instruments show thai
mountain to be 1850 feet high. AL this
has combined 10 make those who have de-
voted much attention to the mountain be-
Iieve that ii Is much higher than the gov
eminent maps announce.
This Is decidedly interesting news, but
Ii Is two years old. DIR. Riley. ofthis city,
established this fact in his famous trip TO
the top Of the north peak. In August,
1892 When he came down the Tacoma
Ledger, Seattle Telegraph and Posr- INTEL
II6EScEg printed the dispatches from
Olympia under date OF August
Is, announcing that DR.. Riley
had proven beyond q doubt by
mountain was at least Il $50 feet high.
When he started on his trip he secured
from Weather Observer Olney, after cor
respondence with the department az
Washington City, three government
barometers. which were regulated At the
United States signal station. When the
top of the middle peak was reached, tbs
kept q record for two DAYS and made OBJ
servations three times during the night
and more often during the day. There
was o difference of fifteen feet in the
three barometers. One measured II, $50
feet, another IA, $685. and the third Is, l05
feet. In order TO be on the safe side, DR..
Riley took the lowest as the probable
height of the mountain, and these facts
were published two years ago.
The official measurement of the noun
tain's height was taken for the govern
ment about 1865 or 1867 BY United States
engineer stationed at Fort Stelacoom
under Gen. Kautz. DR.. Riley afte-ward
served with Gen. Kautz in the cavalry.
The measurement by triangulation was
taken from point about six miles below
Olympia, which would 90 about sixty-tive
miles from the mountain. The engineer
stated at the time that owing to the I'M
surveyed condition of the country and the
limited means at hand to pursue the work,
he might have erred few feet in the base
line, which would necessarily have caused
great difference in the calculations.
DIR. Riley also established the tempera-
ture and wind velocity at the top of the
mountain. The lowest temperature was
% and the highest s. The wind velocity
averaged sc. This was at the top of the
middle peak, the highest on the mountain.

THE CHURCH WILL GET ALL.
II II Is Proven that Father Corri-
Ran Was

Rev. Father Sheehan's announcement
that he was In possession OF another
WIN besides the one made by Father
Corrigan several days before his death
was a surprise to the public and the
two dissatisfied heirs, who knew nothing
Of the existence Of the first will.
The first will was made by Father
Corrigan Just before his trip to Europe
SIX years ago. 1t leaves everything to
the Church of Our Lady of Grace. Ho-
5oken. John +. O'lIara and Father
Sheehan are the executors OF both Wills.
Mrs. Patrick Ryan. one OF Father
Corrlgan's nieces, was left 800 by the
later will. She doesn't consider It a
fair share. and has engaged Lawyer
A.. G. Young, OF Jersey City.
Mr.. Young will endeavor to break
the will IN the grounds that Father
Corrigan had not been OF sound mind
for over a year before his death.
Young IL willing to compromise. but the
others mentioned In the later will are not.
They have instructed Father Sheehan
to fight 1t. Should Lawyer Young sue
coed In proving that Father Corrigan
was insane for d year previous to his
death Father Sheehan will produce the
old will and everything goes to the
church.
Father Corrlgan has a sister In Con-
necticut. She was left a small sum:
She does not care to have the will
broken.
