park, Mr. Robert G. Tatum, a mission
ary of the Episcopal Church in Alas
ka, and Walter Harper a half breed
native boy. The story of this wonder
ful experience has been graphically
told by the Archdeacon in his book,
“The Ascent of Denali.’’ Stuck pre
ferred to call ‘the mountain by its
Indian name. This book is well writ
ten and illustrated and should be
read by all before coming to the huge
mountain. Its awfulness and gran
deur may then be better appreciated.
The Anal dash for the summit and
the description of the view obtained,
as told by Stuck is as follows: “With
keen excitement we pushed on. Wal
ter, who had been in the lead all
day, was the first to scramble up;
a native Alaskan, he was the first
human being to set foot upon the top
of Alaska’s great mountain, and he
well earned the lifelong distinction.
Karstens and Tatum were hard upon
his heels, but the last man on the
rope, in his enthusiasm and excite
ment somewhat overpassing his nar
row wind margin, had almost to be
hauled up the last few feet, and fell
unconscious for a moment upon the
floor of the little snow basin that
occupies the top of the mountain.
“So soon as wind was recovered we
shook hands all around and a brief
prayer of thanksgiving to Almighty
jGod was said, that He had granted
us our hearts desire and brought us
| safely to the top of His great moun
!tain.
“The scientific work accomplished,
then, and not till then did we indulge
ourselves in the wonderful prospect
that Mretched around us. It was a
priv'ccuy clear day, the sun shining
br.ghtly in the sky, and naught
bounded our view save the natural
limitations of vision. Immediately be
fore us in the direction we had climb
ed lay nothing, a void, a sheer gulf
many thousands of feet deep. Across
the gulf, about three thousand feet
beneath us and fifteen or twentv
miles away, sprang most splendidly
into view the great m i.ss of Denali's
wife, of Mt. Foraker, as some white
men misname her, filling majestically
all the middle distance. And never
was nobler sight displayed to man
than that great, mountain,
spread out completely, with all its
i spurs and ridges, its cliffs and its
! glaciers, lofty and mighty and yet
far beneath us.
“It was, however, to the south and
the east that the most marvelous
prospect opened before us. What in
finite tangle of mountain ranges fill
ed the vrifi e*e«M>* until gray sky
gray mountain and gray sea merged
in the ultimate distance! The near

dazzling distinction, the glaciation,
the drainage, the relation of each
part to the other revealed. The snow-,
covered tops of the remoter peaks,
dwindling and fading, rose to our
view as tho floating in thin air when
their bases were hidden by the haze,
and the beautiful crescent curve of
the whole Alaskan range exhibited
itself from Denali to the sea. To the
right hand the glittering, tiny threads
of streams draining the mountain
range into the Chulitna and Sushitna
Rivers, and so to Cook Inlet and the
Pacific Ocean, spread themselves out
to th eleft th eaffluents of the Kan
tishna and the Nenana drained the
range into the mighty Yukon and
Bering Sea.”
Such is the history of the conquest
of the highest mountain in North
America. Alaskans are proud that
the first to scale its lofty peak were
sourdoughs. Few will ever gaze upon
that wonderful panorama described
by Stuck, but many coming to enjoy
the great national park surrounding
Mt. McKinley will stand in awe of
this great mountain and go away
feeling a new sense of proportions,
j for they have gazed upon the handi
j work of the Omnipotent Creator.
SEWARD WILL SEE SEASON
OF 1925 PROSPEROUS ONE
That next year will be one of the
most prosperous ever experienced by
Seward is shown by the many en
quiries received here by parties in
tending to locate. The pulp mill is
an assured fact and by this time next
i month the work may have been start
ed. There is no question but that a
new cold storage plant will be located
here by spring, and several new busi
ness blocks are planned. Much ac
tivity will take place in the woods
around Seward this winter, several
large tie camps operating in this vic
inity, and the ties from Prince Wil
liam Sound camps being unloaded in
Seward.
Prospective investors need have no
hesitation in pinning their faith on
Seward. We look for a very pros
perous winter and spring.
Until the boy is seven he asks
40,000 questions a day. After that
age, his parents have to ask them.
Judge Wm. H. Whittlesey, who has
been in Cordova attending the pres
ent term of court, will return on the
Northwestern tomorrow.
Mrs. Keith McCullough of Anch
orage arrived on the Admiral Wat

in Cordova for a time.

AN EMPIRE BUILDER
As all railroads in years gone by have been the greatest
contributing factors in development of the regions through
which they passed, so also is THE ALASKA RAILROAD
each day accomplishing much towards the building of an
empire.
In place of the old tremendously expensive and inconve
nient method of transporting supplies of whatever character
over rough trails from the coast, there is now a modern rail
way that carries supplies and equipment in greater quantities
to and from the Interior, and along the way, in much less
time and at far less expense than was formerly required.
This great steel highway offering regular twice weekly
freight and passenger service between Seward, Anchorage and
Fairbanks; and tri-weekly mixed service over the Chiekaloon
and Chatanika branches, is at your service. For further in
formation write
