PARKER AND BROWNE RETURN AND ANNOUNCE FAILURE TO
 REACH THE SUMMIT.
THEY GOT UP 2O,20O FEET
Many Like Attempts Have Been Made But Proof Is Lacking That Top Has Ever Been
 Reached.

Fairbanks, Alaska, July 25.-Prof. Herschel Parker of Columbia Univer- sity and Belmore Browne of Tacoma, have arrived at Tolvina on the Ia mana river and report that they failed to reach the summit of Mount McKin- ley. Two attempts were made, one on the north and the other on the south peak. An altitude of 20,200 feet was reached on the north peak and 19000 on the south peak.
 Mount Mckinley terminates in twin peaks, each approximately 20,500 feet high.
 Severe blizzards about the summit prevented the scaling of it by Parker and Browne. Prof. Parker said se- we're earthquake was felt while the party was on the mountain. Excel lent photographs were taken.
 Claims Never Substantiated.
 There have been a number of claims that persons have reached the sum- init of Mount Mckinley, but these never have been substantiated. Dr. Frederick A. Cook, who proclaimed the discovery of the North Pole in 1909 and afterward was denounced by eminent authorities as falsifier, claims to have ascended Mount Me Kinley in 1906, but never has pro- duced proof that he did.
 In 1906 Cook was accompanied by Parker and Browne. They got up 16,300 feet on the south side of the mountain, but after that further as cent was impossible. Parker and Browne gave up the trip, but Cook. with a guide, said he had ascended the mountain on the north side.
 In 1909 Prof Parker made another attempt to reach the peak, but, ac- cording to his statements, he found the peak pictured by Dr. Cook as Me Kinley to be 20 miles from Mount Mckinley.
 The Fairbanks Times expedition which started Feb. in an attempt to reach the summit of the mountain, returned to Fairbanks and reported that they got up 10000 feet on the north side of the mountain.

THEORY GIRL IS KCT DEAD
Insurance Officers investigate Strange Disappearance at Denver
 Thought Not Drowned,

Denver. July 25.-That every arti- cle of value belonging to Candace Wheeler, the New York girl iuclud- ing costly gowns. jewels and personal trnkets, was secretly removed from her apartments in two heavily packed trunks a few weeks before her sup posed drowning in Bowles Lake, June 23, was the discovery made by iusur- ance officers.
 The mysterious incident coupled with the knowledge that she was in communication with the White Star Line Company of New York, with ref erence to the departure of vessels for Europe, has strengthened the be- lief of friends and officials that Miss Wheeler was not drowned, and that she is alive. Every attempt to trace the baggage has proved futile.

Angela s
 Arrival

Three cowboys turned their po- nies into the corral and hurried off to the bunkhouse in search of their comrades.
 Hi, boys" shouted the first to enter, have you heard the news?"
 What news?" queried a lank and unshaven individual.
 "Aw, nothin' to int'rest you, Shorty. You ain't intrested in fe- males. l reckon"
 'Females!" chorused the remain ing occupants of the room.
 "Why, sure, ain't you heard? The boss sisters comin' to visit him."
 "How old Is she?" inquired the youngest of their number, called Handsome Bob Barnes" because of his fondness for the cracked mirror.
 "Oh, aint sure," drawled the bearer of the news, but Skinny here seen photo of her up to the house, an he says she's somewhere round twenty. Curls an dimples an purity as a picter ain't she, Skinny?"
 'Waal, now, I cal'late she's a purty fair lookin' gal as females go," said Skinny, slowly.
 When does your ding-busted fe- male woman arrive?" asked Hamlet" Wilson, betraying a spark of interest.
 Day after tomorrow, the boss says. Train gets in the junction at two-thirty," replied the man who seemed to be the possessor of all the information.
 Give us some particulars, Pete" demanded scholarly appearing per sonage called Percy"
 Pete peered around the room and swelled with importance.
 Ear as I know" he stated con- descendingly, "her names Angela. Seems she's his youngest sister an he ain't seen her for about five years, so now she's comn' out from Noo Yawk to take charge of the ranch house an sect he gets fed decent" he ended, looking significantly at Hamlet" who was the ranch cook
 Huh" growled Hamlet, coh- temptuously, T guess as how he's SUI f4fSQ lulS lOIlS Ou lily NOOhlAs AC can live little longer"
 ''Waal," Pete proceeded q guess that's about all, 'cept the boss says it's up to one of us to go meet the lady" He paused to note the effect of his last statement. Each man. with the exception of Hamlet, pricked up his ears, but Handsome Bob was the first to speak.
 Well, boys," he said confidently, 'it seems to me that if the lady in question is about twenty years old and as purity as a picter with curls and dimples and all such rot, wy it's only right that young an pro- gressiye man like me should welcome her to our happy home. She wouldn't want no old codger like Skinny, an Hamlet, wy, he'd scare her out"
 After much discussion of the Ques- tion it wss decided that all points were in favor of Bob. much to his joy, for, as he told Skinny afterward, he'd been thinkin' of buying a ranch for himself an it would be kinda nice to have a woman around to brighten up the landscape"
 During the course of the next day, Handsome Bob might have been seen to make many furtive journeys to the cracked mirror. His spare moments, US those of his comrades, were spent ill polishing his spurs and doing in numerable little things to improve his appearance.
 The next morning Bob hunted a clean shirt and a gorgeous bandana, which he considered especially en- trsncing to his charms. While wait
