RETREAT FORGED BY
 SCARCITY OF FOOD
Dogs Taken Along as Help CTS Turned Out to be Use less and at the Last They Had to be Hauled on Sleds.

Alaska, 6140 feet, and who was obliged to turn back when only two days from the summit. because of lack of food and alcohol, arrived here today on her way home. She said the climb proved that the peak might be reached by a party better equipped. She is certain she found an easy route to the summit which will be of value to others. The party spent the first four days finding a feasible route by which the attack on the summit could be made.
 Then it reached an altitude of $500 feet when a three days storm set in
 Here they found food enough to make the remaining distance of the climb, or stay where they were. weather the storm and make the descent.
 They decided to make the descent. Miss Keen was accompanied by four men and three dogs. She set out from the foot of Kennescott glacier 192 miles from the Copper river rail road and the next twelve days and nights were spent on the ice fields. The dogs were a disappointment when the rough country was reached, re- fusing absolutely to make the leap over some crevasses.
 On the final steep ridge the men had to haul them on sleds The weather during the climb was un- seasonably warm This resulted in constant avalanches On one steep glacier the party spent four days chopping steps of ice, then abandoned the route and took to the ridge. Finally when timber was reached but two days supply of food and alcohol was left and the expedition turned back
 Miss Keen says the summer in Alaska is unseasonably warm and the glaciers are in a constant turmoil

 Since the recall must be voted out of the constitution as condition precedent to state hood, it IS only fair that the people of the state shall have an opportunity to say at an election called for that purpose, whether the recall shall be re- adopted as a part of the com stitution.

The most largely attended and the most enthusiastic meeting of the re publican county committee since the Cameron campaign of two years ago was held yesterday afternoon in the main dining room of the Ford hotel Some fifty militant republicans were present. It was an informal confer ence. called for the purpose of dis cussing plans for the coming cam paign.
 The presence of republican who, in the campaign of year ago, were con spicuous for being out of harmony with the majority, the harmonious spirit manifested throughout the dis cussions, and a confidence in repub- Hcan success in the coming election, were notable features Of yesterdays meeting.
 Suggesting that there would be inn portant preliminary work for the chairman of the county committee. and that it might be advisable to se- lect a new chairman to act until the organization of the neW committee. Sims Ely. the chairman, rendered his resignation, but it was unanimously rejected it being understood by ev- erybody that it will be necessary, un- der the primary law, to elect a new committee at the primary election anyhow, and it was the judgment of the meeting that no change in the present organization is advisable in advance of the primaries
 Interesting talks were made by Capt J. l.. B Alexander. Homer Davis Phil Ensign, Isaac T. Stoddard, Capt George D. Christy, Judge Irwin, Judge Kibbey. Judge Ainsworth, Judge Phil lips. and others. The same sentiment was expressed by all: That this is d republican year in Arizona; that all issues connected with the constitution are settled for the present. and 1t IS the duty of every citizen tO work for the best possible government un- der the constitution. giving the con- stitutiOn a fair trial; that the judicial recall is not a party question. and since the recall must be voted out of the constitution at the coming election it is only fair that the people of the state shall have an opportunity al the earliest possible moment after admission to say whether they want the recall of judges to be part of the constitution. Embodying this sen timent, a resolution expressly dis claiming any intention to promulgate a platform by the republicans present. but as expressive of their views. re- citing that the people have right to vote on the recall. and that this vote should be a rendition of the cool judg- ment of citizens, and stating that all republican candidates should pledge themselves to vote for the submission. at the earliest possible moment. at a special election. of a constitutional amendment providing for the recall of judges, was unanimously adopted.
 Equally unanimous was the senti- mert in favor Of maintaining a strong republican organization. To this end it was decided that there must be a county conference, fairly representa- tive of the whole county. for the pur- pose Of making a declaration of re- publican principles ard suggesting names for the consideration of repub- lican voters at the primaries.
