 The discovery of glanders among the horses of Tanana is matter of grave to the people of Interior Alaska-uot only to the owners of horses, but to the entire community, for the danger is one. that menaces man as we'll as horse, says the Fair banks Times. The loathsome disease already appears to have gained con- siderable headway in the camp, and only the most heroic measures Will prevent it's spread throughout the en- tire territory. The city officials have taken such action as lies within their power, but they can do little without the coo operation of horse owners and the public sgenerally. Without this voluntary assistance, the malady will continue to spread in spite of the ef- forts of the city physician, whose Jur- isdiction is altogether too limited in such an emergency to permit Of en- tirely satisfactory results. Eventually the government probably will take the case in hand, but if nothing is done in the meantime to stamp out the disease, every horse in Alaska will have become infected, and it will be surprising if there also are not some cases among the members of the human family.
 Mount Mckinley is precious because it was made famous by pr. Cook and also because it is the highest mountain in North America. The accepted meas urement is 20,30O feet. Mount Whitney, California, the highest peak in the United States, is 14,500 feet high, and Mount Orizaba, in Mexico, something over 18OO0 feet. But several peaks in Sonth America exceed Mount McKin- ley in height, and the world beater is Mount Everest in the Himalyas-29,OOO feet. It will be realized from the com parison that Mount Mckinley is really some mountain. It would wear cap of snow if it were much further south, and we may we'll believe Prof HerscheI c. Parker's report that he and the men who were with him on his expedition found it very hard climb. Think of the snow five feet deep just fallen, of the narrow escapes as the party made it's way along the edges of deep creV- asses, of the steep inclines, the many obstacles that caused long delays. But the more we multiply the perils the more we increase the glory of the de- tached and Lonesome Cook. In making his great discoveries he shook himself free not only from baggage but from human compapionship, He took a quiet walk by himself and lived on high thinking. It is thus that he has scaled heights, penetrated depths, climbed the aurora borealis and slid gracefully over the polar sea. Others may follow in his footsteps, but he re- mains unique figure, solitary, grand, magnifcent-a Mount Mckinley among men.-Chicago Record-Herald.
