THE FIRST ASCENT
OF A VIRGIN MOUNTAIN

In Harpers tor March, Professor
Hiram Bingham, the head of the Yale
Peruvian expedition, tells of his as
cent of Mount Coropuna in Peru, a
volcanic cone hitherto unascended.
The expedition made four camps on
the ascent and from the fourth made
a successful climb to the summit.
"As we left Camp No. 4, the great
dome seemed to rise abruptly to the
northwest, but was cut off from us by
gigantic ice falls. To reach it we had
first to surmount the saddle east of
it. From there an apparently unbrok-
en- slope extended to the top.
"Our progress was Interestingly
slow. But when we reached the sad
die there came the greatest and most
painful surprise of all. To the north
of us doomed up a beautiful snowy
cone that looked higher than the dome
we were attacking. From the Sihuas
Desert, eighteen miles away, We had
decided that the dome was certainly
the highest point, and so we stuck to
our task, although constantly facing
the possibility that this cone a mile
away would eventually prove to be
higher.
con this last slope, which we found
had an inclination of thirty degrees,
we should have had to use the ice-axe
had it not been for our snow-creepers,
which worked splendidly. Not more
than a dozen or fifteen times did steps
have to be cut, but this was relatively
a simple matter, as they were in froz-
en- snow and not in ice. We zigzagged
slowly up hour after hour until, just
as we reached what seemed to be the
top, but was clearly not as high as
our enemy to the north, Tucker gave
shout. He was first on the rope, l
was seconl, Coello third, and the sol
der brought up the rear. The rest
of us were too much out of breath to
ask Tucker why he was wasting his
strength shouting, but when we got
up over the edge of the nubbin we
saw the cause of his joy, for there
ahead of us lay twenty-degree slope
extending upward three hundred feet
higher than where we were standing,
to climb which would undoubtedly
take us above the highest point of
that aggravating north peak So with
renewed courage and better spirits
we pegged along, resting on our ice
axes as usual, after every twenty-five
steps, until at last, at half-past elev-
en-, after six hours and half of climb
ing from Camp No. 4, we stood on the
top of Coropuna.
I'VE found the top to be almost fiat
for an area of nearly an acre. 1t is
oval in shape 100 feet north and
south, and 175 feet east and west. 1t

side, moderately on the west, and

by which the first soles were at

The old, WORKOUT sole and heel
are removed. A new sole of
genuine Odk-Bark Tanned leath-

When you get your shoes back
they are just as comfortable and

CITY AND COUNTY To PAY EXPENSE Of

the second annual report of county
auditor J. A. Escajeda, submitted to the
county commissioners Wednesday aft

| The last report of the county auditor
showed balance in the hands of the
county treasurer Of $46, $3.50, as com
pared to a balance of $135, 031.29, as
shown by the recent report.
County Has Good Balance.
During the Il months the total
amount of receipts in the county treas
ury from all sources, including the bal
ance on hand according to the last
report was S34I 1919. The disburse-
ments for the same period amounted to

O31.29.
The total Indebtedness of the county,
which consists of scrip and bonds out
standing, is as follows; Bonds out
standing, S341, 900; scrip, $37, 52272. To
offset this debt there is the cash in
the treasury amounting to S135, O31.29,
leaving the actual Indebtedness Of the
county, $243, 49L43.
During the fiscal year the courts
of the county have issued scrip for jury
services, as follows: Justice courts,
$145O; county court, s2,29S; 34th dis
trict court $12,77250: for feeding jur-
ors OF that court, $55L20: 41st district
court, $10,1O4; assessing property
$3l3.21; interpreters, S3S450; making a
total of $26,43791.
to the item of interpreting. To that he
stated the commissioners should add
the sum of $500 per year, being paid
out of the general fund for an inter
prefer for the saith and 41st district
courts. The saith district court, it was
said, had been paying an interpreter
at the rate of $3.50 per day since Feb
ruary 1, an average of $50 a month
making a total of S1284.
The auditor recommended the en-
pIoyment of one interpreter at a sal
airy of SIS a month to act in that ca
pacity for all of the courts. He sug-
gested that this would result in a saw
ing to the county. In the event, he
stated, it was impossible for the off
cial interpreter to act, being engaged
in one of the courts, he considered that
the services of an extra one could be
secured.
Jury scrip for the first time since
the organization of the county, the
auditor reported, was on a cash basis.
The county treasurer Wednesday paid
up all the registered scrip up to and
including No. 50,197, leaving a small
balance on hand.
The amount of cash received by the
treasurer during the year was set out
in the report as follows: From the
First National bank, interest on de-
post, $1234.75; justices of the peace,
fines, S69S-4O: I. G. Gaal. refund of

AUTO NOW LESS DANGEROUS.
Trolley Car Casualties Outnumber Re
ported Motor Accidents,

Statistics show that there is one ac
cident for every 1908 miles operated
by a trolley car and one for every 49,
666 miles made by an automobile, says
the Engineering Record.
An electric car has TO travel over
100000 miles before causing a fatal ac
cident. and an automobile has to travel
over 100000 miles before being the
cause of such an accident. In other
words, a motor vehicle travels three
times as far for each fatal accident as
an electric car.
When the comparison is based upon
injuries, II will be seen that the auto
mobile must travel sixteen times as
far as a trolley car before causing an
injury. These figures apply to en-
ployes and occupants of cars. The
automobile must travel three times as
far as the electric car before killing an
outsider. and at least seven times as
far before injuring an outsider.
In considering these figures ii should
not be forgotten that the electric al
ways travels on it's rails and everybody
knows where II will appear while an
automobile has the full width of the
roadway and does not have the free
right of way which the electric car has
when running over its tracks.
