MOUNT H'KINLEY
DR.. Fred Cook, Back From Alaska
Tells of What Was Ac-
complished.

NEW YORK, oct 26.-Dr. Frederick
Cook, a member of the expedition which
tried unsuccessfuliy this summer TO
ascend Mount Mckinley, in Alaska. the
highest mountain in North America, has
returned to his home in Brooklyn. The
party left New York on May Is.
DR.. Cook said that the trip had estab-
lished the fact that il is impossible to
scale Mount Mckinley, 5000 feet high.
from its western side, but that three
routes were noted on the eastern slope.
by one OF which il Is possible the sum
nit may be reached. Owing to the late
ness of the season, it was impossible to
attempt these routes this year.
Other results of the expedition were
the exploration of some hitherto I'M
known countr-- to the eastward OF the
Mckinley range, the discovery OF what
is probably the largest glacier in Alaska,
and the gathering of valuable botanical
collections.
I'VE followed an Indian trail to the

days in which to make our trial. the

I'VE first attacked the mountain from
the southwest. but were stopped by a
glacier. which interrupted the route

Pennsylvania Passenger Service.

Because of the criticism which grew
out OF the accident on Long Bridge,
some OF the passenger officers Of the
PENNSYLVANIA Railroad are inclined to
believe that there may be reflection
cast upon the service Of the great Penn
sylvania generally How they figure
this out is a mystery. There Is GER
tainly no railroad in the United States.
and even the world. which expends more
money TO make it's passengers safe and
comfortable than does the Pennsylvania.
And there is no railroad spending more
money than the Pennsylvania TO make
It's system the best in the world. IL Is
the policy or President Cassatt TO have
the best. and the best is the policy OF
the Pennsylvania. While the Pennsyl-
vania has control OF Long Bridge the
lines OF the system do not run over the
structure.

A Boon to the World.
THE bright side Of the Revolutionary
story Is that which relates 20 the iabors
Of Pitt. Fox and Burke in our behalf

our fathers and mothers at home, and

The dark side is that which speaks
VA NA' bANAtA IlFdliitS among the OH

against Washington as commander in

the Continental Congress; the intense
but needless suffering among our troops

terrible treachery OF trusted generals
like Lee and Arnold.
