HIGHEST MOUNTAIN CLIMB.

In the March issue of the Geographical
Journal are given some details of the re-
cent ascent of Bride peak, in the Himal-
ayas, by the Duke of the Abruzzi, when
that intrepid explorer attained the height
of 24,5S3 feet, the greatest recorded eleva-
tion ever reached on the earths surface
by man.
A camp was established on a saddle"
between two peaks. a a height of 21 900
feet At such an altitude it is difficult
even to breathe and the slightest exer-
ton requires a supreme assertion of the
will power over the exhausted physical
organism. Yet here the duke remained
for three weeks, his camp equipment
reduced to the barest necessities of eXis-
tence. The literature of exploration af-
fords no parallel for such a protracted
sojourn at this altitude. Mr.. and Mrs
Bullock Workman spent four days and
nights at a similar elevation in the same
range, and were practically sleepless for
the whole of that interval, for as soon
as their weared eyelds closed they woke
up with start, gasping like fishes out
of water.
The highest camp of the duke was at
224OO feet and this is said to be the
greatest height at which a night has been
passed by human beings. Two attempts
were made to reach the summit of Bride
peak. On the first attempt $4,000 feet
was reached. The second effort brought
the party to 24,5S3 feet This was only
b27 feet from the summit (25,110 feet)
AS though the mountain deities were
reused in anger to bar the brave pioneers
from their last citadel, a storm of snow
and wind, with dense fog, held the
climbers for three hours at this point
until they We're forced to beat a retreat
Mr.. LOngstaff, who reviews the dukes
achievement, and has himself accom-
plished very nearly $4,000 feet in the
same mountains, says that Abruzzi's
two attempts to ascend the peak, and
his three weeks bivouac, "surpass all
previous achievements in the annals of
high mountaineering"

MILK WAR HAS BEEN DECLARED
Producers Who Ship Milk to Boston VIII
Keep Winter Schedule In Force This
Summer or Use supply at Home.

crisis in the milk business whereby
Boston receives its daily supply has ar
rived, and the shipments from Brattle-
boro and Bellows Falls in common with
other towns in the Connecticut valley
and elsewhere are involved. The milk
producers are in revolt against the con-
tractors and unless a way out of the
difficulty is found there will be a milk
famine in Boston after next week. Or
dinarily a change in price goes into
effect May l, the summer schedule being
somewhat lower than the winter sched-
ule. This year, however, the producers
have notified the contractors that they
will make no reduction from the winter
schedule. They say that they cannot
afford to produce milk at the price the
contractors are willing to pay, particular
ly in view of the high cost of all com
modities at the present time. A few
days ago they gave contractors As hours
in which to consider the matter and at
the expiration of that time the con-
tractors decided that they would not ac-
coed TO the producers demand. The de-
cision of the contractors was virtually
declaration of war and it was immedi-
ately communicated to the producers
through a circular letter from the Boston
Cooperative Milk Producers COMPANY.
The letter said in part:
There is nothing left for you to do
but prepare to take care of your milk as
best you can after April 30, 1910, as of
course, you will not renew your con-
tracts or ship any milk after the above
date, unless you receive the price you
have asked, Please realize the serious
ness of the situation, make no contracts
