PRICE THREE CENTS
AMERICAN TEAM WON

BIsLEY, July 1.-THE great interna.
tional team match, the most important
event of the Olympic rifle contests has
been won by America, and the American
marksmen thus become the champions of
the world. The American aggregate
score was 253l, that of the British team
2496while the Canadian team scored 2439.
Starting with lead at the end of the
first range, the Americans never were
displaced, and, with the exception of
the contest at the 6OO-yard range, they
scored higher totals for each of the six
distances than the finest teams that
Canada and all Europe could put in
the field.
In the individual aggregate also the
Americans always were prominent, first
Lueshner and then Martin leading all
the worlds crack rifemen. Many ex-
perts consider the outcome victory not
only for the men but for the rifles. They
declare that the short-barreIed new
Springfield rifle proved itself far better
arm than the new short. t.barreled Lee-En-
field in use in the British service.
The Americans, who were ten points
in the lead at the close of the contests
yesterday, at 800 yards to-day increased
their lead to thirteen points, scoring 1876,
thus bringing their aggregate score for the
four distances up to 1927. The English
team maintained second place by scoring
433, making an agregrate of 1714. Canada,
the third team on the list, made 434, but
the team lost so many points yesterday
that its total for the four distances was
only 1873,
The American team increased its lead
still further at the 000-yard range, scoring
405 for this distance, while England made
but 800 and Canada 1856.
The aggregate OF the remaining teams
at the end of this range were: France,
1866; Sweden, 1914; Norway, 1896;
Greece, l72l, and Denmark, 1859.

CANADA's HIGHEST PEAK

Two trained mouDtaineers of Canada,
DR.. Coleman, the geologist of Toronto
University, and Mr.. Kinney, of Victoria,
B. c., will attempt to reach the top OF
Mount Robson this summer. 1t is vir-
gin peak. Mr.. Kinney went to the
mountain last year, only to meet rain be-
low and snow above in such quantities
that biz could not make the climb.
Mount Robson is one Of the most inac-
cessible SUBMITS in North Americs, says
the New York Sun. 1t stands little
west OF the divide between waters going
to the Artic Ocean and others flowing to
the Pacific.
So far as is known it is the highest
point in Canada. Its height was ascer-
tanned by the Canadian Geological Sur
vey only about ten years ago. 1t is 49,
700 feet above the sea, and rises l0,750
feet above the neighboring valley, but
somehow it never impressed those who
saw it with its tremendous elevation,
nearly two miles, above their standpoint.
1t is the centre of scenery of remark
able GRANDEUR James McEVoy, of the
Canadian Geological Survey, explored
this region in 1888, and said that the
descriptions of Milton and Cheadle, writ
ten in 1865, had in no respect been over
drawn.
This is of interest to all tourists in
America, because this magnificent noun
tain region, now very hard to reach and
impossible for the ordinary traveller to
traverse, will before long be open to all.
The route of the Grand Trunk Pacific,
which is now being extended westward
from Edmonton, will be carried through
the Yellow Head Pass, and in the stretch
where il will skirt the northern bank of
the Upper Frazer the trains will pass
only a few miles south OF the great noun
tain.
Mount Robson will be hard PROPOSE
ton for the average mountaineer, and
its ascent will doubtless be left to experts,
for it has slope of 60 degrees practically
from base to summit 1t is glacier clad,
very rugged, and its apex Of ice, glitter
ing in the morning sun, two miles IN the
air, is said to be one of the finest sights
that mountains anywhere afford.
