Chemists on Tour Of State.

Sixteen chemists, acting under the
supervision of State Chemist Robin.
son, will start out today on a tour
of the state. 1t will be their duty
during the next two months to make
tests of the milk delivered in several
of the larger cities and also to inspect
the diaries. The work is brought
about by the state dairy and food
commissioner in an endeavor to de-
crease the rate of infant mortality.
The plan was originated by Mrs.
Robinson. While 1t Is impossible to
keep chemists in the field continu-
ously, IL was decided that the de-
partment can afford the services of
these men for at least two months,
and July and August were chosen
because the infant death rate Is so
high during that period that it ex-
ceeds all other mortality rates within
the state.
Those chosen to carry on the work
have had considerable experience in
the actual testing of milk and are in
possession of first-hand knowledge in
the practical care of diaries.

For three hours the members of

not break the deadlock which existed.

Eight ballots were taken. Gov

six times for Eugene Welsh, of Kali

Quite heated discussion took
place between the governor relative
to Mr.. Welsh. II is no secret that
Welsh could have had the place some
time ago, but he told the board that
he would not accept il unless the

willing TO vote for an increase, but
such resolution would require the
approval of the governor, and the lat

Welsh was not an experienced prison
man, and while he acknowledged his
business ability, did not think he
would be justified in giving so large
salary until he had made good
The Latest Prison Scandal.
Mrs. John c. Wenger, wife of
the warden of Jackson prison, is ac-
cused by Convict Frank Snitgen of
having purchased opium for him for
the last three months. Drug store
records in Jackson show Mrs. Wen
ger has made purchases of opium.
Warden Wenger asserts his belief
in his wife's innocence of the charge,
and declares she confessed to him
that she is addicted to the use of
the drug and purchased it for her
own use.
Prison officials declare they saw
Mrs. Wenger and Convict Snitgen
locked in the office of the prison box
factory together on several occasions.
The warden says these were merely
friendly calls.

oIazier Disgrace Kills Daughter,

After reading a reference to the i'm
prisonment of her father, Frank p.
Glazier, former state treasurer, in a
newspaper a few days after the birth
of her child, Mrs. Rice Howell, of
Wenatchee, Wash. formerly Vera
Glazier, died of the shock. After
reading this news Mrs. Howell went
to bed, never to rally Her mother
was at the bedside when the end
came.
On account of her condition, rela-
tives of Mrs. Howell had carefully
kept news of the imprisonment of
Glazier for from FIVE to ten years in
Jackson from her. The latest news
she had was that her fathers case
was before the supreme court on
appeal.

Get After the Flies.

With the warm days flies multiply
amazingly. Now is the time to at
tack them and prevent the breeding
of millions from the few hundreds that
already exist.
Perhaps the most effective method
of destroying flies is by burning
pyrethrum in each room. This stuns
the flies and they can be swept up and
burned.
Flies are dangerous carriers OF dis
ease and an enemy of humankind. Do
your part toward keeping down the
pest and improving the health of your
community.

half of this range had come to them through the
writings of the early explorers. MacKenzie's
voyages, the tales of Behring'S travels and the sto
ries of Cooks voyages in the Pacific ocean con-
tanned references to high mountains often seen
from their ships; but it would seem that Mount
Mckinley, the highest peak of the range of the
Rockies, received little notice from early explor-
eTs, although in favorable weather it can be seen
for a distance of $50 miles, great white mass
that dwarfs the many hills surrounding it. In
fact in 1897 when Mr. w A. Dickey, who had
assembled the Susitani river and had located and
named Mount Mckinley, upon returning to CIVIL
cation described his discovery, his story was not
believed, and the whole account of his trip was
treated as a travellers tale. However. there is
reason to believe that Vancouver this noun
tain in 1898. and it long known to the natives
of the vicinity ''Traleika," word which means
Great mountain" and when the Russians owned
Alaska they called it "Bulshaia," word Of the
same significance. Even before Mr.. Dickey called
attention to 1t and named it Mount Mckinley the
prospectors of the Yukon knew it as Frank Dens-
mores peak. Mr. Dickey's estimate of its height,
10000 feet is interesting in view of the fact that
subsequent measurements showed that he was
only 500 feet out of the way in his guess. The
figures given by the geological survey, OBJ
tanned by taking the mean of twenty measure
ments arrived at by trianguation, places the
height as $500. This great mountain defied all
attempts to dominate its peak until the early
spring of 1910 when expedition under Thomas
Lloyd made dash for the top and after weeks of
incessant toll reached their goal
Mount Farweather. the most imposing peak

Cook in 1T7S There records that it has

In the beginning of the last century NJ. Degelat;
a French explorer. by measuring the reciprocal
distances of adjacent mountains and taking their
relative angles with his seXtant, determined its
height as 12672 feet above level and its loca-
ton as eight leagues from the coast. Later. Mala-

small margin The honor of conquering this giant

geology in 1897, while he making one of his
voyages in search of the farthest north.
We will leave the great peaks Of Alaska and
consider the mountains of the Pacific slope in the
United States proper Mounts Whitney, Shasta,
Hood and Rainier early caught the eye of the
a1pinists of country, and the account OF the
climbs of Clarence King in California is most
interesting and well-written story of the first geo.
logical exploration of the Sierras. Sierra is the
Spanish word that signifies mountain range;
it also means saw" in the Castilian tongue and
was applied to certain geological formations be-
cause of the fancied resemblance of their outlines
to that of this carpenters tool.
In the Sierra Nevada mountains the most
prominent peak is Mount Tyndall named in honor
of the famous English scientist. This peak is
especially notable as being the object of one OF
the most remarkable climbs in the history OF
mountaineering, when it was assembled by Clar-
King He was at that time member OF
the California state geological survey and had
been sent out with others by Prof Josiah Dwight
Whitney to make geological Investigations.

and because of the curious aids used, lasso and
a bowie knife. which probably unique in the
annals Of alpinism.
There are higher SUBMITS than Tyndall in the
western states. Mount Whitney, named in honor
of Prof ]. D. Whitney, is perhaps the highest
peak in the United States proper being 1862
feet above the level of the sea. This height was
dominated by Bengale, Lucas and Johnson in
1873. Mount Shasta, its being derived
from the Indian tribe Saste Shastika, with its
snow-and silver crown shining in the clouds.
is perhaps one of the most beautiful peaks Of
