Skieing to Have
 Added Thrill

As a winter resort, Mccarthy sure has a bid for fame There are about 75 people in town and most of them know how to ski In fact the kids are more at home on the things than on their own feet. Thus it behOoyeS us to let the world know what an ac- cOmpliShment this village has so that we may begin to compete with St. Moritz or other centers of Winter sport.
 Last Sunday a big crowd wss out on the long slide, for the af ternOon, and as usual enjoyed themselves immensely. Ben Jack son locked up and slid around the roads on snow skates, and is thinking of closing every Sunday hereafter.
 During the past week there has been a jump added to the slide and party is going to try it's luck next Sunday. After the wounded have been picked up, 8 lnnch will be served.
 The winter sports at Mccarthy compare with those of far larger Alaskan communities.

Mount Logan to Be
 Attempted Soon

One of our citizens is in rece- ipt of a letter from H. F. Lamb art, of the Canadian Geodetic Survey,in which it is stated that a party of Canadians, headed by Albert H. Mccarthy, a wealthy Canadian, will attempt the ascent of Mount Logan during the sum- mer of 1925. Lambart will be with the Party in the capacity of vice-leader.
 Original plans called for the as cent during che coming summer but owing to the difficulties of arranging for supplies and the transportation, it was decided to put in the coming summer go ing over the ground to be trav- ersed by the climbing party be- fore the actual ascent. For this purpose. Mccarthy will take a party out from either here or Chitina, probably from hereI up the Chitina River to the glacier, over the glacier cap, to the Log an Glacier, and if conditions per init, to the foot of the mountain itself.
 Reconnaissance has proven that the ascent of the peak can best be made from this side, on ac- count of the gradual ascent of of the massive glaciers.
 Mount Logan is the second highest peak on the North Amer ican Continent, towering 19,540 feet above sea-level. Glaciers, that cover the earth's surface miles in every direction, flow down it's slopes. It stands in isolated gran duer. one of the most inacceSsi- ble peaks in the world

Something in the line of smok CTS Was staged at the Pioneers Hall last Tursday, that for an event of this nature far exceed ed anything ever put on in this section.
 The banaliti es which are often arranged for, to fill the intermiss ions were conspicuous by their absence and were not missed by the fans. to any great extent; US the action of the fights came so thick and fast that everyone was busy talking between acts.
 The events were led off by Wal ter Macdonnel, representing Nc Carthy and Wilburn, represent ing Kennecott: the boys going four rounds under the cOgnomen of Nelson and Wolgast, respectiv ely. Both fighters put on a good fast exhibition that could have only been called a draw For an opening bout, it was excellent.
 After a short intermission the wrestling match, which was one of the best events of the evening Was announced, the cOntenderS being Otto Amalong and E. C. Erich both of whom are first class mat artlS ts. The match was divided into two five minute rounds, and tho no falls were added to either mans credit the affair was one such as is seldom seen, even among the headliners in the states. Both contenders are scienced and fast and their next meeting is awaited with in tereSt.
 Following the wrestling match Gilkey and Gordie put on little show, that was chiefly notable fol the number of times Gilkey got got hit in the nose.
 The next fight was draw be tween Arthur and Sallgenger the latter boy representing ken necott. Both men were complete ly exhausted at the end of each

uOund. There was a good deal of science e shown by both contend CTS, and the entire fight was no table for the way they mixed it from start to finish. The boys are signed up by Promoter Jones, to go on in the main event at Ken necott next month.
 The main event was a slam bang FIGHT, between Tom Stevenson of kennecott and Er nie Lottsfeldt of the Green Butte
 At the tap of the gong. both men began mixing in a maIIner seldom witnessed in this coun- try. Caution was thrown to the winds and the men stood up to one another and slugged. Lotts feldt received a punch that put bim on the ropes, but dazed as he was, staged a comeback that drove Stevenson across the ring Stevenson rallied, drove LOtts feldt back a couple of steps and connected on his jaw with the haymaKer he carries in either fist.
 Lottsfeldt tried hard to come up, but was lifted to his corner about minute aud half after the battle begun.
 Stevenson packs a powerful straight punch in either hand, but lacks science. If properly trained and given more exper fence, he would be logical COT ten der for Alaska's heavyweight title, which now rests with But Ter.

Weslinghouse-East l'iltsburghl
The Challis messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1912-current, 1924-01-30
CHAPTER VlI-Continued.

The morning was far gone when the
woodsman finished his task at the
feed-pens.
AS he stood leaning against the
fence, the events of the day before
crossed his mind-the heelprints on
the dusty deck Of the concealed house
boat; the ivory-handled six-gun; the
spark of flint that had transformed the
peering eyes of the preacher when he
faced the desperado's knife. From
this, his mind reverted to the words of
Belden about what he had seen in the
little park.
A face rose before him-a face COM
polling in its easy suavity-that, in
spite Of its studious severity, seemed
to have a strange fascination for
Texie. He knew she had let him walk
home with her from the festival
privilege that meant more in the Flat
woods than anywhere else in the
world. A deep breath came up out of
his breast; his hand gripped the fence
rail hard.
But many an insistent task lay wait
ing. The thought reused him. AS he
raised his arm to put on his hat, the
sweat got at the cut in his shoulder
and stung him.
He had intended TO haul in some
shock corn from the bottoms. He
frowned toward the wagon; plucked
the blouse loose about his shoulder;
finally went up into the woods to in
spect a string of rail fence that would
have to be repaired before the stock
cattle could be turned out of the lower
lots into the upland pasture.
He had spent some time readjusting
fallen rails and STRENGTHENING crooked
panels when tiny spot of color in
