Having conquered Goodsir. rested for
awhile before tackling another of those
'unconquerable' peaks. 1t was Hungabee,
commonly known as THE Chieftain.' that
next yielded to my advances. The peak of
The Chieftain's' cap is as precipitous as
that of the Matterhorn. The first part of the
journey was very steep,and we were getting
along finely when suddenly we came on a
vertical cliff in the solid rock, what noun
taineers call chimney.
This is one of the most dangerous OBJ
istructions that a mountain climber can
meet.
This one was only a little over two feet
wide, and more than 100 feet high. The
only way to get up it was by bracing our
feet ON the inside walls and working slow
ly upward. AS there was nothing to cling
to, it was not exactly an easy job; but py
care and hard work we finally reached the
top and found ourselves on a steep slope
covered with a thin layer of snow. And
this was almost as bad as the chimney.
ut extended for about GOO feet and we
had to crawl up 1t. only to find ourselves
at the base of the last cone, 300 feet from
the summit, and a split about three feet
wide on the rock which must be crossed.
That split came near being the undoing.
We couldn't jump it because there was
practically nothing on the other side to
land on-nothing but ledge of rock about
an inch wide. So we had to slowly lift
ourselves over. and for the third time dur

: In his first ascents'' of Mount Hunga-
bee, Mount Deltaform. Mount Goodsir and
Mount Biddle, he was accompanied by
Hans and Christian Kaufman, two Swiss
guides, who had lived for number of
years on the Canadian Pacific slope. Mount
,Goodsir, in British Columbia, was the first
mount tackled. Its peak is very bald and
blunt. abrupt and rough. icy at times and
at others so loftily inaccessible as to dis
courage any but the most persistent.
Speaking of the ascent, Professor Parker
said:
{ Mount Goodsir is almost perpendicular
and 1t is no wonder that 1t had been de-
,clared impossible Of ascent. In one place
we went up over a very narrow ridge, an
arrete in the language of mountaincers. 1t

ell away, says the New York World
which sums up in four items and tells
why they have, as follows:
!. That the country could not Get
money enough to transact its business
without the free and unlimited coinage
fsilver at the ratio of l6 to l.
The nations supply of both gold and
silver has steadily increased since 1896
until now we have the greatest volume
OF money and the largest amount per
capita ever known and every dollar is of
equal exchanseable value.
2. That silver regulated prices, and
the denial of free coinage produced
calamity" and kept down the price OF
wheat, cotton, etc.
Since Mr.. Bryan proclaimed this doe
trinc, and beginning Immediately after
his defeat and the victory for sound
money, the United States has cnioyed
the most remarkable and widespread
period of prosperity ever known in it,
history. We have dollar wheat" with
40 cent silver and cotton has advanced
from cents TO II.
3. That labor was being "cruciied on
a cross of gold"
labor has been more generally EN-
ployed and the highest average of wages
ever paid mas been reached since Mr.
Organs deefat The savings banks de-
posts of the country have increased from
Sl.907 100000 in 1896 to ,9s50OO0O0 in
lara.
4. That the people demand the dol.
lar of the fathers"
The Democratic. populist candidate
achieved the distinction OF being he
worst beaten man that ever ran for the
presidency. The final nail in the eff.
IN of the dead issue was driven in the
oofhn when Congress on March Is 1900
by a majority of IS in the Senate and 40
in the house-She majority representing
ror. than three. fourths OF the popula.
ton, wealth, manufactures and com.
ineree of the country passed a law re
enaeting the gold standard established in
1853, confined in 1873 and approved BY
the country in seven successive general
elections. This law cannot be repealed
without electing concurrently Free sill
yer House, Senate and President--an
unthinkable proposition.
The free silver issue is already dead
and buried.
