MISS KEEN'S ASCENT OF
,'. MOUNT BLACKBURN

Miss Dora Keen, who is the daugh-j
ter of an eminent. Philadelphia sur
geon. is writing a series of articles
on her recent successful conquest of
Mount Blackburn, Alaska, in Scrib-
ner's. -
In her most recent article she
says:
Steep and badly broken glaciers,
sleeper ridges all crested with ice,
and fairly smooth snow summit,
such was the sight tnat Mount Black
burn presented to our view. 1t was
the fifth day, with food for only
eight days more, and every route
looking hopelessly difficult and dan
gerous for men with heavy packs.
The sled and all else possible would
have to be left at this base camp.
and from here, at $500 feet, food,
fuel and shelter would have to be
carried by men and dogs nearly to
the top. Progress would be so slow
and the liability to billiards. so great
that it would never be safe to be far
from shelter, and this very necessi-
ty for heavy packs would compel the
cnoice of route which would be
neither too steep nor too difficult if
we were to advance at all. Nearly
10, 900 feet of snow and ice remain
ed to be climbed, with the certainty
of such frequent snowfalls that the
snow would have no time to harden,
would make the ascent laborious,
and would slide with the first hot
sun. To climb at night was impos-
sible. Such routes could not be at
tempted in the dark. Indeed one of
the best gauges of the difficulty of
a mountain ascent is the elevation
remaining to be climbed above the
snow line. 1t is chiefly the 10000
or $1,000 feet that have to be climb
ed above the snow line that make
the high mountains of Alaska the
most difficult to climb.
Above $4,000 feet ascent would
be easy. This was one reason why
1 had chosen to try this mountain
by this side. Experience in the
Alps and the Andes had taught me
to avoid difficult work above $1,000
feet. The maps of the United States
geological survey-made from near
our first camp-showed the contour
lines to be gradual above $4,000
feet, but how to reach $4,000 feet,
that was the problem. With all the
routes alike looking hopeless, the
shortest seemed the best to try first.

The U. S. experiment station at
Kodiak has some pure-bred Gallo
way cattle to sell for breeding pur-
poses to settlers of Alaska at reason
able prices. Owing to the shortage
of pasture at Kodiak and a lack of
hay crop since the region about the
station was covered with volcanic
ashes, it has been decided to sell a
part of the herd. These cattle rep
resent some of the best of the breed,
and for the most part are Alaska-bred
and born cattle. Good young stock
of breeding age will sell for less than
they can be bought in the. states and
shipped to Alaska. Five yearling
bulls are for sale at $50 f. o. b. Ko-
diak. Yearling heifers for SIS and
two-year-olds and young cows for
500 and up. The government does
not pay freight on any cattle sold,
and sells only for cash. Anybody
wanting a start with good thrifty
breed of cattle for Alaska can find
no better than these at Kodiak. Set
tiers are invited to come and see
the herd and choose their cattle.
Those who cannot come may write to
M. d. Snodgrass, superintendent of
the station, at Kodiak, and send
cash with order and the cattle will
be shipped by the next boat. The
herd is kept fifteen miles from the
village of Kodiak, because of the
scarcity of pasture now available. A
gasoline launch plies between the sta
ton and the village. The best con-
nections from the eastward are by
the Dora coming and return on the
