SCALED CANADIAN ROCKIES.
Edward Whymper Tells of His Exper
fences in Mountain Climbino.

| eaWdtu WnynPer toIiS OF his Exper.
fences in Mountain Climbing.
Montreal. P. O., Jan. s.-Edward
Whymper, the great mountain climber
has just given a review of his expert
ences in scaling the Canadian Rockies
last summer. He had previously climbed
the highest Alps and the highest Andes
He spent the summer and fall in Can
ada, and he sums up the last expedition
with these words:
If all the mountain climbers in the
world today were to make combined
attempt to explore the Canadian Rock
les their task would not be completed
within century,
Leaving London on May %, Mr..
Whymper reached Banff in the Canadt-
an national park. June 8. Besides Mr..
Whymper the party consisted Of four
rnonntaineers of great experience from
the Swiss Alps and G. w. Franklin,
great-grandson OF Sir Samuel Cunard,
who was Photographic assistant. The
party's objects We're to determine as ac-
ourately as possible the altitude Of those
peaks which might be reached, and for
this purpose four mercurial mountain
barometers were carried. On this point
Mr.. Whymper says:
The scarcity Of good observations OF
temperature at considerable elevations
In the Canadian Rockies made it neces-
sary to observe the thermometer fire.
quently. Temperature is of the first inn
portance for the mountain climber, and
1t will be interesting to many to learn
that the temperatures which were ex-
perienced turnout the journey were
moderate. either as regards heat or cold,
liz comparison with the cold tempera-
lures which occur on other mountains
OF equal altitude In similar ATTITUDES"
A brief summing up Of the work ac-
complished by Mr.. Whymper follows:
Exploration in the neighborhood of Yer
million pass, on the eastern slope of the
Rockies, occupied his attention from
June IS to July 2. when he transferred
his outfit to Lake Louise, the lowest of
the lakes in the Clouds, and after re-
naming in this district sixteen days he
went to Field, at the base of Mount Ste
phen. On July 26 he left for the Yoho
valley, Immediately to the north Of
which he passed almost a month, re-
turning to Field on Aug. %.
1.-THE Yoho resembles the Yosemite, :"
he says. ..At It's northern end Is an I'M
mense glacier of at least 400 feet in
thickness, and with a larger area than
that of the great glacier of the Sell
kinks"
The last days of August and the first
week of September were occupied by
n preliminary examination OF the Ice
river valley, leading northward out OF
Beaver Foot valley, which had been I'M
visited hitherto.
The Swiss mountaineers returheu u
Europe, but Mr. Whymper and ms eah-
adam associates remained IN the ice
river valley until the end OF OCTOBER.

Proposes the Retirement of Silver Dol.
lars and Greater Subsidiary Coin.
Washington, Jan. S.-A bill for the re-
tirement of the silver dollar was offered
IN the house yesterday by Mr. Hill, of
Connecticut. 1t provides for the coinage
of subsidiary coin, at the option of the
secretary of the treasury, but repeals
tie section of the act of 1890 which au-
tilorizes the coinage of a certain number
OF silver dollars. In support of his
measure Mr.. Hill quotes the director of
the. mint as authority for the statement
that the demand for subsidiary coin is
far in excess of the supply, and Is rap
IDLY increasing. With the expansion of
territory, according to Mr.. Hill, the de-
mand for small coin has developed rap
IDLY, and the director of the mint reports
hts inability to meet the demand with
the limits placed by existing legislation.
The bill authorizes the secretary of the
treasury to exercise his discretion in the
amount of subsidiary silver coinage that
may be issued.

Mr.. CURTIS LANE BILL.
Provision Proposed for Disposins o
Estates of Deceased Indians.


Washington. Jan. S.-Congressman
Curtis, of Kansas, introduced his bill.
approved by Mr.. Hitchcock, secretary
of the interior, and officials of the in
terror department, providing for the
sale of lands of deceased Indians, and
the division of the proceeds among the
heirs. The bill is the result of re-
ports and recommendations that have
been made by Mr.. Jones. commissioner
of Indian affairs, concerning a compli
Gated condition of affairs that has
arisen in the settlement of Indian al
lotments. Heirs of deceased allottees,
under the existing laws. must be hunted
up each year and paid their share of
the revenues arising from the lease of
allotted lands. This task has become
well-nigh impossible In many cases.
and the sale of the lands is proposed
as a remedy.
In the Ponca. Tonkawa, Otoe and
Pawnee tribes the amount of land tied
up by these conditions is Sl,12S acres,
and the bill was at first framed to apply
to these lands only. BY making the bill
general in it's application, 1t is etimated
that fully 100000 acres of land in Okla

placed upon the market and opened to

Lawton, Okla, Jan. S.-The winners OF

have not found their pathway adorned
and perfumed with roses. They seem to
have struck a trail that leads thru
brambles and over the flint hills.

Cured the displeasure of the envious
when he took his claim in mile strip
along the south boundary of the city. He
at once became defendant in numerous
contests and applications were made to
cancel his title and convert the tract
into a townsite, but the interior depart
ment decided in his favor Recently,
however, Mr.. Wood and also Miss Beal,
of No. 2 fame, became too impatient to
postpone the handling Of their wealth
for fourteen months, when they could
under the law commute. Accordingly
they made application under a general
law to purchase their lands at $40 per
acre for townsite purposes. but the in
terror department said that law did not
apply In the new country, which was
opened under special act. Thus the
anticipated Notwithstanding pleasure of
these people is thwarted, and the con-
venience of Lawton addition has been
pushed nine months into the future.
Heretofore. Scott Laws. the entryman
on No. 8, which corners the city on the
northwest, has been dwelling in COM
parative obscurity. 1t was not deemed
important to herald his movements to

attorney hurried to the bank and made
the deposit.
The more warlike demonstrations were
reserved for the following morning.
when William Skaggs, with his attor-
rey appeared for the purpose OF fling a
contest, on the grounds of being a prior
settler. He claims to have purchased
the improvements from Laws and to
have been settler on the land at the
time Laws filed his REIMBURSEMENT, the
theory being that there Is brief inter-
val between the fling of relinquish-
rnent and the new entry, and during
that period settler on the land may ac-
quire right by occupancy. While fl

Skaggs on another charge. Guns were
flashed and other arrests followed. AT
