Fairbanks, Alaska. June 90
The summit of the highest noun
tain on the continent, the south
peak of Mt. Mckinley, was reached
for the first time. June Z, when
Archdeacon Hudson Stuck, Episco-
pal Missionary for Alaska. accom-
panied By Robert G.. Tatum, Harry
p. Karstens and Walter Harper, ac-
complished the hazardous feat
News OF the success of the expe-
dition was received to-day by a
messenger sent by DR.. Stuck. Arch
deacon Stuck expects to return to
Fairbanks in August and will go to
New York in October as delegate
for Alaska to the General Conven-
ton of tie Episcopal Church.
Or. Stuck and his assistants
erected a six-foot cross on the sum-
nit OF the great mountain. Obser-
vations made with the mercurial
barometer indicate the height of
the mountain is 20,50O feet. Dr.
Stuck eaid this could lbe checked
by comparing the reading of MIS-
barometer with the records taken
at FIT. Gibbon, the same date.
The expedition which left Fair
banks March 13. expected to reach
the summit of Mount Mckinley
early in May. but was delayed three
weeks cutting passage three
miles long through ice thrown
across the ridge by an earthquake
last summer.
Tie party found much evidence
of seismic disturbance on the upper
ridges. The upper basin shows evil
dence Of a violent upheaval and the
ridges are badly shattered. but the
SUBMITS are not married.
Archdeacon Stuck confirmed the
ascentsof the North Peak by Thorn
as Lloyd and three companions in
1910, being able. with field glasses.
to see the Flagstaff erected by the
Lloyd party.
Dr. Stuck said he reached the
the summit on a clear day when it
was possible to read all the angles
of the mountains and other promi-
nent points and make certain that
the peak was the highest of all.
Last year Prof. Herschel Parker,
of Brooklyn. and Be!more Brown
of Tacoma. who had previously fail
ed in two attempts to climb the
mountain, went over the route fol-
loved by the Lloyd expedition and
were within 200 feet of the sum-
nit when they were driven back b.
furious blizzard.

Berlin, Aug. 20.-Together with
large number of prominent commercial
organizations. the "Frankfurter Iei-
tune" regards the German govern
ment's decision not to take part in the
Panama Pacific exhibition as a great
mistake. 1t is pointed out that the
Government was mainly influenced by
the attitude of the iron and steel in
dustries. and that as far as German
exports 10 the United States are con-
cerned these industries play but n
small part and naturally have not or
themselves any business interest In the
exhibition. They are therefore not en-
titled 10 be regarded as representative
Of German industry, and il is felt that
more account ought TO have been taken
of the chemical, textile leather, glass,
uorcelain, paper and refining indus
tries.
All tkese are believed to have a
strong interest in exhibiting, and they
are taken to task for not asserting
their point Of view more vigorously.
The textile industry in particular and
the tailoring trade are now being
urged by the German Cloth Dealers
League to ignore the governments de-
cision and take part in the exhibition
independently. especially now that
France has accepted the invitation.
