The Top Point of Our Continent.

DR.. Frederick Cook, who recently
succeeded in making the ascent of
Mount Mckinley feat which had
baffled all other attempts-tells of his
wonderful climb in Harper's for May.
Here is his picture of the top of the
mountain-the highest point on our
continent-twenty thousand three
hundred and ninety-one feet above the
sea.
1--WE stood up under a black sky so
low that we felt as if we could nearly
touch 1t. We had reached the top.
What a task! Without the aid of
guides we had at last reached our goal
Almost unconsciously our hands were
locked, with a look of satisfaction at
each other; not word nor yell was
uttered. We had not the breath to
spare. 1t was September Is, 1906, 10
O'Clock in the morning. the tempera-
ture-16 degrees; the altitude 2O,391
feet. Then followed a long gaze over
the cold wide world spread out at our
rect. To the south the eye ran over
the steaming volcanoes, Redoubt and
Ill1amina, down Cook Inlet to the
point of kenai Peninsula and the Pa
cific. two hundred and fifty miles
away Narrow, winding, pearly rib
bons marked the courses of the Kos
kokwim, Yukon, Tanana and Susetna
rivers. Out the Pacific rose a line of
clouds drifting over the Chugach
mountains, to deposit their SHOWS in
the glaciers of the Alaskan range A
Boring sea and swept the western side
of the range. These clouds blotted out
most of the mountains near the main
range. This lower world of lesser
mountains did not impress US so much
as the little sky-world about U.S. Here,
under our feet, was the top of the con-
tnent the north pole of our ambitions,
probably the coolest spot on earth,
and we were the most miserable of
men at time when we should have
been elated. Nevertheless, 1 shall al
ways remember. with a metal focus
sharpened by time, the warm friend
ship of my companion, Edward Bar
rifle, the curious low dark sky, the
dazzling brightness of the sky-scraped
granite blocks, the neutral gray-blue
of space, the frosty dark blue of the
shadows, and, above all, the final pic
lures which 1 took of Barrille with the
flag lashed to his axe as an arctic air
froze the impression into a relief
which no words can tell.
"A record of our conquest was left,
with small flag, in metallic tube in
a protected nook a short distance be-
low the summit. A round of angles
was taken with the prismatic com
pass. The barometers and thermome-
tiers were read and hasty notes jotted
down in our notebook The descent
was less difficult, but it took us four
days to tumble down to our base
camp"

RoosEvELr's LABOR LETrER

ROOSEVELT'S LABOR LETTER.
The president sets forth his position
in the matter of Meyer and Haywood
whom he is accused by the labor or
CARNATIONS of condemning in advance
of trial. in a letter which bears all the
characteristics of the Roosevelt pen.
1t is strong and direct, and it will
doubtless have marked effect upon
the country in the controversy pre-
cipitated by the phrase he employed in
his letter to Representative Sherman,
in which the president called Mr.. 'Har-
riman an "undesira BILE Citizen and
Meyer and Haywood. Ever since the
publication of that communication the
president has been under fire, and he
now meets the attack with a counter
charge which is likely to upset his as
sailants.
In his usually plain language Mr..
Roosevelt declares that his accusers
are today engaged in the very effort
which they charge against him. He
declares that by forming Confer
ences'' for the avowed purpose of
voicing a demand for the acquittal of
the men accused in Idaho the labor
organizations are themselves seeking
to influence the course of justice.
AS between the presidents casual
description of the accused men as
undesirable citizens" in connection
with others who are not accused spe-
officially of crime, and the organization

guilt or innocence. there can be no
question as to the graver offense- The
president states now. and it was plain
before, that in styling Meyer and
Haywood undesirable citizens" he
was referring only to the known acts
of their past life. By CHASING with
them one of the most conspicuous of
modern capitalists, between whom and
the men accused in Idaho there can
be no community of interests, he plain
w indicated that he was not striking a
blow at trades union1sm-
1t is entirely within the right of the
friends of Meyer and Haywood to work
to the end that they shall be given
fair trial. There may be in Idaho

lions that are being taken by their
colleagues to prevent a miscarriage of

If they are guilty they should be pun
