attempt at a check could be made are: Fairbanks, N. E., 16O miles; Nenana N. E., 120 miles; Anchorage, S., 135 miles; McGrath, w., 155 miles; Hit arod, s. w., 215 miles; Ruby, N. w., 195 miles.
 Of these points at time of flight, Fairbanks had highest thermometer and lowest barometer readings, Idit-- arol much the highest barometer and lowest thermometer, Anchorage next All points were cloudy except Ruby and Ilitarod, indicating further change in the pressure that day. A thermometer attached to a wing of the plane read 10 below zero at top of mountain, 59 above at Fairbanks, and 40 above at Iditarod.
 All the above points are too dis tant to be helpful in correcting the barometer realing taken in flight. Other corrections for humidity, tenn perature (which is often large amount), wind, lag of needle, etc., are usually applied when some sort of accuracy is aimed at.
 The accounts of ascertaining accu- rately the measurements of high mountains by means of an aneroid barometer will be believed by those only who are ignorant of the subject
 In 1924 a government survey party carried a network of lines by trian- gulation a short distance north of Broal Pass and along the Alaska Railroad, using levels established by .first-order leveling in 1922. It was their unofficial opinion that the early estimate of Mt. McKinley's height of 1000 feet was too low.
 rom other sources and many ob- servations the height of Mt. McKin- ley is believed to be between 25,OO0 and 26,000 feet above sea level.
 The results of the first-order level ing in 1922 anl levels established by railroad engineers differ, and the cause is probably due to the fact that no sea level had been established at the time the railroad work was start ed and an arbitrary sea level was user, and later was found in error.
 D. E. STUBBS,
 Mckinley Park, Alaska.
The Kusko times., 1931-09-26

Now that observers have crossed ,over Bulshaia Cora, now called Mt, Mckinley, it has revived an old dis scussion on two points:
 l. Was Mt. Mckinley sealed in former years? and
 2. What is its probable height?
 As to the first question the observ- ters report seeing no monuments, .stakes or filling stations.
 As to height: Many years ago old timers and others called its height .23,O00 feet. This elevation was gen. ,erally believed to have been found by the early Russians, who were making maps of that region.
 Later, and about the years 1906 or 1907, a rumor gained currency that someone out of uncharted space had found the height of the Big Hill to

WHAT IS THE EXACT
 HEIGHT OF MT. MCKINLEY?

(Duke E. Stubbs, former well known oldtimer of Interior Alaska, particularly at Iditarod and in the Lower Kuskokwim section, sends The IKusko Times the following concern ling the height of Mount Mckinley,o

 author, who was apparently on ship at sea, seemed to be the only reason for not attaching few inches to his answer.
 The use of these uncertain figures is misleading, indicates an accuracy that did not exist, and reflection on the intelligence of the observer.
 The height of 20,310 feet was in use around 1909 or 1910, and 2C,300 feet has been used in some govern ment and other publications since.
 Tables for curvature and refraction corrections have only been worked out by the government for distances of 66 miles. (Corrections to be added for this distance is 2,5O0 feet) The early observations were made from either Valdez, coast points or at sea, and distant from Mt. Mckinley 100 to 200 miles or more. Readings on points more than 66 miles are frown- ed on by the government as of no merit.
 The official figures and data relat- ing to the recent flight across the Big Hill are retained by the weather .bu- reau and will not be released until next October.
 The plane crossing Mt. Mckinley carried attached to a wing an altitude recording instrument called a 4baro- graph. Since some have expressed a childlike faith in the uncorrected re- corded figures indicated by the baro- graph, 1 would like to quote a few facts from government and other sources on the means of determining elevations.
 The instruments most used for de- terminmg elevations, the results being mostly rough estimates, are variously called the aneroid barome- ter, weather glass, .altimeter, baro- graph, etc.
 The construction of all consists es- sentially of corrugated metal box, partly exhausted of air. This box ex- bands and contracts with changes in atmospheric pressure. This movement is greatly multiplied through a lever and chain to an index pointer moving over scale on the face of the instru- ment.
 These are instruments for weigh ing atmospheric pressure, which at any point is constantly changing. AL titude has no bearing on the reading of the needle. That is, the elevation of the same place as indicated by the barometer at two different times may change as much as 2,000 feet. Ba- rometer readings taken at same hour at two different places may be exast- ly the same and yet elevations of the two plares be quite different.
 A rurrent time card on the Alaska Railroad gives Nenana 80 feet lower, and distant 59 miles from Fairbanks. Barometer readings taken during time of flight and at same hour at both places gives Nenana 250 feet higher than Fairbanks, or adding diff ference for direct leveling, 33O feet higher. At the same hour barometer readings at Anchorage and Fairbanks makes Anchorage 895 feet higher. The same time card gives Anchorage as 40 feet lower. The three points named above are the only ones in InI terior Alaska where a check can be made on barometer readings.
 Since no barometer is located near Mt. Mckinley, there is nc reliable way to check the reading eof a baro- graph carried by plane over the mountain.

UnfavOrable, Unfair Outlook
For Service Men

The Administration policy Of refusing salary increases to
civil service workers is to apply far executive powers
concerned the Army Navy Marine Corps Coast Guard
Geodetic Survey and Public Health services.
That h the officers of these six important services
of the Government have been given to understand that ne
Administration will look with disfavor efforts in Con-
gress give officers and salaries and allowances long
justified, but long denied
It is most dscouragng outlook for the countrys service
men, whose reasonable pleas executive heads and to Con-
ess for salary readstments in keeping with costs OF living
had widespread approval.
There has been general readustment OF the pay ana
allowances of the six services since the service act OF
June TO- 1922 Those readusments hardly appreciabe
far salaries concerned.
Since then Congress has provided reasonable increases
IN other governmental services Though the present policy
Of the Government to refuse Of the increases which
should 60 with promotions fill vacancies the lot of civil
service workers still much better than at the time Of
the service pay act of june 1922.
The present pay schedules of service officers and
absolutely inadequate evidenced in past years by the
actual difficulties existence confronted by officers in all
the services.
Officers in the service of the Government devote their
whole attention to their duties They must maintain them
selves and their families in modest state suitable to the posi-
ons they occupy It possible to do this fairly well be-
fore the days but the purchasing value of the officers
dollar has dwndled alarming extent in the face
Of lower commodity prices now prevailing
Congress may and should fit to act and allow
increases its motion and its knowledge OF
the fairness and justices of these increases.

whether or not a. Government

if you remain in that work it is
