pawed further than they did. They
were practically jft the top, the ad
ditional distance being but a gradua
incline with nothing but the blind
ing snow and rushinp wind to atop
them With calm weather they
could have finished the distance in
a few minutes with no aid what
ever.
The tone of extreme difficulty of
ascent lies between the 12.000 and
17.000 foot altitude. There is where
the test of human lndurance in
strained to the breaking point;
when that point has been passed
the scaling of Mount McKlnley Is
comparatively easy but for the in
tense cold, the winds, blizzards and
the rarefied air.
As a result of the expedition
about sixty miles of country has
been added to the map and a new
pang discovered, which may be used
for future expeditions.

Yesterday was ihe banner day in
railroading for the White Pass. Si*
trains and one helper were on the
line, representing the largest amount
of hauling, both In passenger and
tonnage, since the line was estab
lished For the next few days
there will be four special trains be
side the regular making dally trips
to Whitehoise
Three thousand tons of ore are
to be brought down for immediate
shipment on the lAtouche, then
will follow fifteen hundred tons on
the Jeanle and three thousand tons
on the Cordova.
The railroad company expects to
operate the mines all winter and
to be continuous shippers Nothing
but the severest kind of weather
will prevent them from working a
full force, which promises that the
coming winter will be the busiest
ever seen in Skagway since the old
days of the rush.
President T>ick<?son is arranging
to put in a special heating plant to
keep the or>& from freetlng In the
bunkers The cars will be run Into
the round house and there subject
ed to heat for thawing the ore and
permitting It: to readily discharge
in case the severelty of the winter
makes such procedure necessary
Huslness is looking brighter each
day for the railroad.

his return from the Chicago con

head of the Progressive party. Mr,
Roosevelt said that the Progressive
convention was one of the greatest
that the nation had ever he:d. It
represented the patriotic impulse of
a people who were tired and dis
gusted at the political bickerings of g
the old parties.
The republican party was once a
Third party themselves and could
not conscientiously accuse the Pro

coming a Third party when the
good of the country demanded It.

responded to the remarks of the
chairman of the notification commit
tee in a lengthy addres* in which
he core.ed every phase of political
thought that Is at present before

to the tariff question In which
were reinterated the vi?ws held by
[the democratic party for the past
fifty rears or more Mr Wilson
said that he approved of the im
mediate revision of the tariff and
he wanted that revision downward
The republican party had promised
a revision which had been taken by
the people to moan a revision down

public and placed a higher tariff
than had previously existed.
Furthermore he wanted a sup
pression of the trusts. He want

[ not one that only promises things
for the dim and distant future.
Mr. Wilson Is in favor of con
