 The jagged marks on the apex of the snow in that picture, and shown from the bottom of the picture up to the gran ite rock forming the top of the point, are my foot marks and those of Dr. Cook. My best recollections of this are as fol- lows: pr. Cook and I went to the top of this point together, and he said we will go back down and get picture of this. We did not take our bags with ps to the top of the point having left them down in the saddle above the glacier We then both went down from the point to where our bags had been left. The doctor took the American flag out Of one of the bags and handed it to me, and sent me back to the top of the point and told me to hold it there on the end or the ice axe, which I did.

 "The doctor then, with his camera took the picture sh own opposite page 227. which picture is there designated as "The Summit of Mount Mckinley, Tn his work "To the Top of the Con- tinent."

SAMUELS & co.
 OPEN NEW SHOP
Tailoring Establishment That Will Make Competitors Step
 Lively.

If all Birmingham isn't well dressed the responsibility cannot be laid at the open doors of the new tailoring establish ment of Samuels & Co., which will enter the local tailoring business arena tomor- row morning with a rush calculated to carry all before it. The new firm will have it's place of business at 1916 First avenue, and the interior of the building has been handsomely arranged and fur nished in an attractive and up-to-date manner. The new stock of goods would attract anyone, and some of the swellest effects yet seen here are on exhibition in the prettily decorated show windows It were wise for him who cannot afford to purchase clothing to steer himself in an opposite direction from the tailor shop of Samuels & Co. Temptation is there in it's strongest form, and he who looks, if he has the money Cor the other thing which answers temporarily is pretty sure to become a customer.
 This is a branch of large and pro- gressive establishment of the west and southwest, and the Birmingham store is one of A that are owned and operated by this company. It will be quite an addition to Birmingham, and will be well comed by al

poln Team Will Delay Trip.

London. october 14-The Birmingham polo committee at meeting today to consider the question of sending polo team to the United States next season to try to regain the international polo cup, won this summer by the Meadow brook team of Long Island, decided against the project. It is understood that the difficulty in obtaining ponies was the main obstacle to the sending of a team to America. It was the opinion of the committee that plans for recap turing the cup will be revived in 1910 in time to send team across the Atlantic in 1911
