If the polar controversy had not

when Cook made his claim to the big

How the Cook Controversy

petition and perhaps two will
attempt to climb Mount McKin-
ley next summer. This Is the
highest peak in North America, the
surveys having fixed its altitude at
something like 20,30O feet, or within
800 feet Of four miles. 1t is more than
a mile higher than Pixies peak or than
any other mountain in the United
States outside of Alaska.
The one particular event that has
now brought Mount Mckinley into
the public eye is, of course, the affida-
Wit of Edward N. Barrill denying that
DIR. Frederick A. Cook scaled the peak
in 1906. which led DR.. Cook to invite
Anthony Fiala and Professor Herschel
G. Parker to head an expedition to the
top of the mountain to find the Cook
records said to have been left there.
Both gentlemen declined, Fiala on the
ground that he Is not a mountain
climber and Parker for the reason that
he had already organized an eXpedi-
ton to go up the mountain next sum-
mer. Dr. Cool, then announced that
he would lead Il party up Mount Nc
Kinley himself There for the present
the matter rests.

-oA~ASL PioA ttOho'
There have already been at least
seven Mount Mckinley expeditions. al
though the first was scarcely worthy
the name. 1t was that of W. A.
Dickey, Il mining prospector who was
not looking for mountains. but for
gold. He only saw the peak at a dis
lance, but its size so impressed him
that he believed it the highest noun
tain on the continent and so reported.
Lacking Instruments of measurement,
he guessed roughly that it was 10000
feet high. a remarkably accurate esti
mate. Mr.. Dickey gave the mountain
the name Mount Mckinley. TO all in
tents and purposes he was its discov-
crer although the Russians around
Cook inlet had long known of it's ex-
istence and called it Bulshaia (big).
The second expedition was that Of
geological survey. who went near
enough in 1898 to measure the noun
tain from several different angles.
Averaging the results, he announced
the height as 20.4G4 feet. In 1899 Lieu
tenant Heron. also of the government
service. surveyed about the mountain
and spent season Of fearful hard
ship in its vicinity. In 1902 Alfred II.
Brooks Of the geological survey made
a more thorough exploration of the
mountain and scaled it to the 10000
foot line. He concluded that the meas
urements of Mr. Muldrow had made
the mountain appear higher than 1t is,
as his figures showed it to be 10000
feet. 1t should be stated that there
are two peaks on Mount Mckinley, the
southern spur being about 100 feet
the higher. In 1908 there were two
expeditions. one by Judge Wickersham
Of Seattle and month or two later
the first Cook expedition. Both were
unsuccessful in climbing the peak.
The second Cook expedition followed
in 1906. the dispute over which is the
occasion of next years efforts.

The icy mountain torrents, the great
Alaskan range was finally crossed at
what is called Brooks pass. Mount
Mckinley was then almost circled for
a possible approach and finally was
scaled to the height of 1000 feet,

an impossible precipice. 1t was then
that the attempt was abandoned and
the party separated after returning to

SPECIAL PRIZE IN
 BOYS CORN CLUB

Jackson, Miss. May Especially Dr. s. A. Knapp, of the department of agriculture at Washington. who has charge of the farmers cooperative demonstration work in the south, has offered special prize to the winner in the Boys Corn club contest in Mis- sissippi-same being free trip to the city of Washington, with all expenses paid.
 In addition to this Dr. Knapp will obligate himself to purchase as much as 9 bushels of the corn which wins the first and second prizes in the Mis- sissippi contest.
 No previous farmers movement has ever attained such prominence and favor in this state. as has the Boys Corn club. There are now about 5000 members of these clubs, and in most of the counties where the clubs have been organized valuable special prizes have been offered, and the boys have gone to work with a vengeance to make more than 100 bushels of corn per acre. The winner last year was a Newton county boy who produced 139 bushels on one acre-more than his father or grandfather ever dreamed possible, and convincing all his neigh bors that Mississippi is just as good a corn growing state as any of them, when science Is mixed with common sense and muscle.

Kellogg VIII Be Glad To Quit.

It probably will be year or more before these two important cases can be closed. MT. Kellogg said he was anxious to return to Minnesota to devote himself to his personal law practice.
