Just q few more comments
about the summit climb, then
some words on Paradise Park.
l have been asked how many
persons go to the top. The party
In which l made the ascent this
season was, believe, the last
one, and It was the 22nd which
had been conducted this year by
Dudes Stampfler and Greer. who

MT. Greer told me that these
parties had averaged six members.
which would make the total for
tho season from Paradise Valley
about 1872. In addition there
we're 60-odd Mountaineers, II my
memory is correct, who made the
ascent from the northeast side.
Thus the years aggregate will be
seen to fall considerably short of
zoo. This as compared with
nearly $4,000 who visited the
park.
What Is the summit like? is
another question often asked of
one who has been there.
1t Is bowl, oval in shape,
filled nearly level full with hard,
glistening-white snow. On the
side first reached by the Para
disc Valley route 1t is rock rim

the edge. There are three high
points. Point Success. 14,150

Reese's camp, the pioneer inn

other season. Reese's permit, the
U. s. has notified him, is not to
be renewed.
To those who know the good

will cause pang.
But those who know the man
ner in which the camp has been
conducted cannot deny the justice
of the governments action. Fol

1t is being pretty definitely shown that Russas policy
of continued retreat has been necessary because OF lack OF
munitions due to graft.
But have nothing Russia. In times of peace we
know that there's graft in the matter of making
munitions wholesale graft and yet congress has repeatedly
refused to stir in the matter.
The revelations made by congressman Tavenuer would
be sufficient to any European nation and the coming
