BANKERS AND PUBLICISTS
 THINK WELL OF BILL

NEW YORK, June z0.-Bankers and those publicists that have specialized on the currency problem generally agree that the administration currency bill will improve the monetary system of the United States. Many believe that it will not be as effective as the Aldrich plan that has been endorsed by the American Bankers Association, would be, though it is not believed that there will be objection to it's adoption by Congress. It will be ac- cepted as a great improvement over existing conditions.
 Western bankers and those of the smaller cities, it is believed, will fa- vor the bill even more strongly than the larger banks of the financial cen ters. '
 The agreement of the leaders in Congress and the President to support the administration currency bill is be- lieved to have aided in the partial re- covery of transportation and indus trial stocks that has occurred since the break that followed the Mime sota decision.

Ascent of Mt. Mckinley
 Accomplished June Eth

FAIRBANKS, June 20.-The ascent of the highest point of Mount Mckin- ley, the top of the Continent of North America, was successfully made on June 7th by party consisting of Archdeacon Hudson Stuck, Harry P. Karstens, Robert G. Tatum and Wal ter Harper They erected a siX-foot monument at the very topmost point of the summit on which they carved cross, emblematical of the Chris tian religion, and the words TIE DEUM." The Stars and Stripes were flung to the breeze from substantial staff
 From the Upper basin, the party saw distinctly by the use of field glasses the flag pole, still standing erect, which William Taylor and Pete Ander- son. of the Tom Lloyd party, erected in 1910 near the summit of the north peak of the mountain, which is several hundred feet lower than the peak as. cended by Archdeacon Stuck and his party.
 Scientific Conditions Were Perfect.
 The day spent by Archdeacon Stuck and party on the mountain top was clear as q bell, and comparatively calm. The sun shone brightly, and observations were made under the most favorable circumstances. The angles were read to all prominent points in every direction. A murcur- ial barometer was successfully carried to the summit, and careful simul- taneous reading at Fort Gibbon should permit a close approximation of the true altitude of Mt. Mckinley.
 Heishth Is 2o,5oo Feet.
 As nearly as could be determined without comparisons, the approximate heighth of the mountain is 20,5OO feet.
 Water boiled at temperature of 174.9 degrees.
