COOK DID NOT
REACH SUMMIT
OF MOUNT M'klNLEY, is REPORT
OF FAIRBANKS EXPEDITION
TO ALASKA.

| Fairbanks. Alaska, April 13.-The
Fairbanks expedition to Mount Nc
Kinley. the ta1lest peak in North
Amer. ca, reached the summit April 8,
after a climb of one month from the
base, it was announced yesterday.
No traces of DR. Frederick A. Cook S
alleged ascent were found.
All Reach Summit.
Thomas Lloyd, leader of the expe-
dition, arrived here Monday night
His companions were Daniel Patter-
son, w r. Taylor and Charles Nc
Gonnigle, experienced mountaineers,
and all reached the top Of the great
mountain
The expedition, which left Far
banks December Is, while the contro-
versy over DR.. Cooks disputed ascent
was still raging, was financed by Au-
gust Peterson and William McPhee of
this city The plan was to go into
camp on the mountain as high as pos
sible and probably about the middle
of May make a dash for the summit.
The obstacles encountered were not
so great as had been predicted -Four
camps were. established during the
! ascent and a trail was blazed all the
way to the crest. Up to 10000 feet
the climbing did not present unusual
difficulties. For the next 1000 feet
the way led over a steep ice field,
which at first seemed to forbid fur
Their progress, but through which up
on exploration it was found possible
| to locate a path. The final dash to
the top was made from the 16,0G0-foot
camp.
Mount Mckinley terminates in twin
peaks of equal height, one somewhat
rounder and covered with snow, the
other composed of bare and wind
swept rocks On the rock peak the
Fairbanks climbers placed an Ameri-
| can flag in a monument of stones.
Tine expedition, which was provided
with Dr. Cooks maps and data, en-
deavored to follow his supposed
route, but utterly failed to verify
any part of his story of an ascent.
/ The expedition was equipped with a
dog team and supplies, and with the
latter they established base at the
foot of the mountain. They planned

the break of winter in March. The
members of the party agreed to for.

the Commercial Club from a
commission man of Milwaukee, Wis.
and formerly of this city. He asked
for quotations on cars of extra
fancy and fancy apples to be shipped
at once to Milwaukee. He wants the
price f. o. b. delivery point.
This telegram indicates that the
fame of Wenatchee's fruit is spread
ing more and more rapidly and that
the means of securing it is not well
known to the trade throughout the
country. The fact that the message
was addressed to the Commercial
Club rather than to one of the local
commission firms Or the fruit growers
association shows that the Milwaukee
firm was at a loss where to send an
order without asking further informa-
ton. Secretary Coburn took the mes
sage to the fruit growers association.
