 AT LAKE DEWEY

Nineteen of Skagway's most ar dent hikers, dressed in the well known olive drab and khaki of the fighting armies of Europe, made an attackS in force last night on Mt. Dewey, The party left town about p. m. with the intention of reaching Upper Lake Dewey about Il p. m., where they camped for the night. This early morning 1t was their plan to climb to the highest pinnacle of the mountain, reaching the summit in time to return again to the lake where they expected to meet the Alpiners and help enjoy the feasts Of hard earned meal.
 As the night was quite cold and wet, it is supposed that the company experienced some of the real hardships of army life.
 During yesterday afternoon and early evening several smaller groups of climbers went up Dewey and met the larger group there last nisht.
 Owing to the indictment weather the Alpine Club, as an organiza- ton, did not attempt the climb this morning, but several persons went up to join the others which made the climb yesterday.
