On yesterday’s incoming train was
one passenger wljom the Childs and
Miles glaciers did not seem to make
such a deep impression as the con
ductor of the dining car thought that
they should. That man was W. R.
Taylor. Billy lives at the foot of
Mt. McKinley, and is the first man
who ever saw Alaska from the sum
mit of Mt. McKinley. One spring
Just before work began samfi old
timers gathered in Bill McPhee's place
were discussing the controversy then
raging as to whether Dr. C6ok had
really reached the summit of Mt. Mc
Kinley. Billy Taylor and Tom Lloyd,
whose mines lie at the foot of Mc
Kinley, were in the crowd, and they
knew from the description of the climb
and from the point where he said he
had "skelped the rise” that Cook never
climbed McKinley, and finally Tom
Lloyd hazarded the suggestion that
almost any old timer could reach the
summit if he cared to try. Bill Me
Phee offered to bet the drinkB that
Lloyd couldn’t do it, and Tom took the
bet. Taylor and Lloyd, and two hus
kies working for them, Anderson and
McGonigal, made up a pack of a dozen
pounds and started. They made it.
From timber line to the summit of
McKinley, Billy Taylor and Anderson
packed a 30-foot section of a huswy
pine tree on their shoulders, and it
still stands on the summit of McKin
ley as a flag pole. Arcdeacon Stuck,
whom Harry Karstens carried to the
summit of McKinley a year or more
ago, reported the flag pole as still
there. On the trip Billy covered
glaciers that make the Child glacier
look like a mudpuddle, and he named
in .
glaciers larger than the Cordova one.
That is why glaciers have so little
charm for hi.m This was Mr. Taylor's
first trip In an automobile and his
only trip out in ten years. He will
attend the Panama-Pacific Exposition..

A. Sprague, president of the eight
house Packing Company, of Warren

and is much encouraged at the outlook.
He reports having found rich and in
exhaustible beds of clams.
When questioned by representative
of this paper as to what his plans were
Sprague stated that he would
leave for the states on the steamer
Watson to consult with his associates,
but from the optomistic tone of his
conversation there is no doubt but
that his report will be a favorable one

SEATTLE, Aug 18—Isaac Guggen
heim, one of the famous firm of Gug
genheim brothers so largely Interested
In mining Industries throughout the
United States Is a visitor In this city.
Mr. Guggenheim expressed himself as
well pleased with the outlook for his
companies in Alaska, and was extra
vagant in prasing the management of
R. W. Baxter, who looks after the in
terests of the Alaska Syndicate in the
north. He expressed his regrets at
not being able to take a trip to Alaska
this summer, and said that he con
templated visiting the great norhern
territory as soon he could, and that
nothing but pressure of busines pre
vented him from making the trip at
this time.
-:o:
"They tell me that Secretary Mc
Pherson while here said that Fair
banks has put in with the Seattle
plans for holding a semi-centennial in
1917, with Seattle as the Big Show and
each town in Alaska on the main
traveled trail as a sideshow. He’s
fooling thee—Cordovans ought to
know Fairbanks better that that,"
said one of the Fairbanksans who ar
rived yesterday by auto from the In
terior metropolis.
"McPherson came to Fairbanks with
his made-in-Seattle idea and said that
he had come to find out just what we
did want. We told him. We told
him that Alaska had so long been used
to advertising Seattle that such busi
ness did not appeal to us; that Fair
banks no longer considered Seattle all
of Alaska; that’ Fairbanks considered
itself competent to give an Alaska
show, and proposed to do so, in 1917,
railroad or no railroad; that if Seattle
desired to advertise the fact we would
be glad to have Seattle do so, but that
a chain of sideshows throughout Alas
ka with the 3-ring circus in Seattle
was not the Fairbanks idea, never had
been and never would be. Since he
left Fairbanks, McPherson has evi
dently forgotten the lesson he learned
there.”
