MISS PECK TELLS
OF TALL PEAKS
Climber Is Back From South
American Exploits.
SHE CONQUERED CORURPUNA

Planted Suffrage Flag on One of Its
Five Icy Submits Estimated at 22,500
Feet Above Sea Level-Her Expert
ences-Above Snow Line.
Miss Annie E. Peck, conqueror of
attitudes. recently got back from South
America after having unfurled and
planted the yellow pennant of the
Joan of Arc Suffrage league of New
York on one of the FIVE icy SUBMITS
of Corunpuna in southern Peru, esti-
mated to tower 22,5OO feet above sea
level.
Miss Peck left on June for Colon
and went thence across the iSthmus
of Panama to Peru. Her chief OBJ
ject was to scale Corunpuna, suppos-
ed at one time to be the highest noun
tain in South America, but really
lacking that distinction by several
hundred feet. Miss Peck was accom-
panied by German mountain guide,
Carl Volkman, and. as she said,
gentleman of Peru and four half
breed Peruvians." She left the little
village Of Niraco for the mountain
peaks on Monday. She said she could
not remember the exact date.

and telling them that the glory would
be theirs if they took me to the sum-

that men going above certain alti-

to stone and even if this did not hap

height on South American mountains

to make the summit without their
help and that | was depending on
them. Then they gathered themselves
together bravely and we went on.

than those l encountered on Mount
Huascaran. The half breeds said was
the first person they had ever heard of
who had made an effort to reach the
top-I should say the tops, for there
are five peaks of about equal height
of Corunpuna. I wore no wooden mask,
as l did on Huascaran, as the winds
were less bitter. merely had a silk
cloth over my face. The frozen snow,
glacierlike, was about hundred feet

FINAL ACTION EXPECTED.
Commerce Chamber Board to Fix
Status of Retail Merchants.

The board Of governors Of the Cham
ber Of Commerce tonight will finally pass
upon the question as to whether the
afnliated body. the Retail Merchants
Association, shall be allowed to confer
membership independent Of membership
in the Chamber Of Commerce. The
special committee of the Chamber OF
Commerce, which acted adversely upon
the request that the constitution be
changed to permit the Retail Merchants
Association to take in members without
the present requisition OF becoming men,
bers of the Chamber of Commerce. will
make its report.
The board Of governors, 1t is assumed,
will approve the attitude Of the commit
tee and deny the request of the ahiiated
body. The Retail Merchants Association
will hold a special meeting next week,
when 1t will consider a pending PROPOSE
ton to sever relations with the Chamber
Of Commerce Separation seems to mark
the general opinion Of its members This
is not likely to mean any loss OF men,
bers to the Chamber of Commerce, as

VALUE AS FERTILIZER.
Comment Of Experts on Street
Sweepings Not Favorable.

Street sweepings and their effect as
soil fertilizer have been tried in series
Of experiments by ]. j. Skinner and ]. H.
Beattie of the Department OF Agriculture
The authors Of a bulletin just issued say
the value Of sweepings as fertilizer has
been Of practical interest for long time,
as most cities try to dispose Of them to
farmers at small profit and the farmers
are glad to get them, owing to their small
cost.
The result of the trials indicates that
the value Of street sweepings as a fer
tilizer Is less than that of good stable
manure. There is one detriment cited. as
when the sweepings are contaminated by
any large percentage Of Oil from motor
vehicles In such cases the fertilizing
value is decidedly lowered, and in some
cases Is positively harmful.
