GORGEOUS VIEWS
OF MT M’KINLEY
ARE OBTAINED
OTTO SCHALLERER OF ALASKA
SHOP RETURNS WITH SOME
BEAUTIFUL SCENES b
Returning with 18 views of majes
tic Mt. McKinley, Otto Schallerer of
the Alaska Shop arrived back in Sew
ard the first of the week with what
is considered some of the most mag
nificent views of the mountain which
have as yet been obtained by an
Alaska photographer. He departed
from Seward for the mountain over
two weeks ago and devoted all his
time to shooting the snow clad peak
from various angles.
Among the pictures taken is one
from the camp where it is said Sid
ney Lawrence, Alaska’s premier land
scape painter, made his first and orig
inal Mt. McKinley paintings. Mr.
Schallerer approached the mountain
by way of Talkeetna, going back into
the Cache Creek district^ and thence
by pack horse, accompanied by a
guide, headed directly for his objec
tive. It is believed a number of the
photographs, which will be on exhi
bition at the store within a few days,
will reveal the gorgeous mountain in
an entirely new setting. The photo
graph snapped from the former camp
of the artist is as beautiful as can be,
the towering peak flinging up its
head high above the high foothills
large size mountains in themselves
A fleecy white cloud hangs about ball
way up the face of Mt. McKinley, the
whole being framed within a greet
birchwood forest.
Mr. Schallerer said lie took alonj
with him on the trail a small dog. One
day before he or the guide knev
they were about, they rounded a prom
inence in the trail coming full upon
two brown bears, quietly feeding in
the blueberry bushes. Both men thot
they had traveled far enough for one
day and turned about, heading for
camp. Mr. Schallerer looked about
for the dog, but he was gone. Mr.
Schallerer believes the pup beat them
back to camp by at least an hour.
Before he left the vicinity of Mt.
McKinley Mr. Schallerer approached
to a distance of 20 miles from it. At
this distance he shot some scenes
| which, when developed he is certain
| will be unexcelled in beauty and a
splendid example of the photogra
j pliers’ art.
Workers On Cathedral
Unite In Earnest Prayer
NEW YORK, July 3 (/P)—The Lord’s
Prayer was recited in half a dozen
! tongues when nearly 100 masons, la
I borers and stonecutters joined with
j contractors and clergy in a prayer
service at the Cathedral of St. John
the Divine, before laying the first
stone for interior walls of the nave
recently.
The service was requested by the
men themselves, according to Bishop
Wm. T. Manning, who in full episco
pal robes, conducted it in the open
i air on the nave foundation near the
I south wall.
No tradition of the men’s crafts was
! involved, Bishop Manning said. The
: request came from their spontaneous
feeling of the special and sacred char
! aeter of the work they are doing in
! rearing one of the great cathedrals
of the world.
The small bareheaded congregation
j contained sons of various faiths as
j well as races. When the Bishop ask
; ed them before returning to their re
5 spective jobs to repeat the famous
■ prayer of the Savior in unison it was
uncertain to what extent they could
-1 respond.
They responded unanimously, it
was observed. Anglo Saxon voices
were joined by Frank, 'Latin by Lev
antine. Those whose memories or
understanding faltered caught the
pace from sonorous leaders. It was
on the rise just above 110th street
but in the devotional scene carried
back to the cornerstone days of St.
Peter’s, Tours, Cologne, Rheims and
other renowned cathedrals.
Bishop Manning said the unusual
blessing the guilds had sought for
their work was in harmony with the
interest organized labor had shown
from the outset in the erection of the
great edifice.

WHALES IN FAR ANTARCTIC
OSLO, July 2. (IP)—The whaling
season in the Antarctic waters around
South Shetland and South Georgia
baas been very successful, as far as
the Norwegians are concerned.
The whalers secured 166,000 barrels
of whale oil from South Georgia
and 166,880 barrels from So. Shet
land, this being an increase in the
amount obtained last year of 50,000
barrels. At South Orkney 54,000 bar
rels were obtained, while off the
Mexican coast Norwegian whalers
got 22,000 barrels.
The total for the Norwegian com
panies this year has been 410,000
barrels, while other nations have
produced 257,000 barrels. The Nor
wegian whaling fleet consists of
first class vessels equipped with ra
! dio, and newly built tankers with
cookeries. It sails practically over
the whole of the globe, .and it has
about 4,000 Norse sailors engaged
in the trade as whalers.
