NOTED CLIMBER

VISITS KATMAI
FAMOUS LADY, WITH HUSBAND
AND FRIENDS TO MAKE TRIP
TO VALLEY OF TEN THOUSAND
SMOKES.
On their way to Che “Valley of
Ten Thousand Smokes,” Mr. and Mrs.
G. W. Handy, of West Hartford, Vt.,
Miss F. Taylor and Samuel Taylor
of Chicago, arrived in Seward Sun
day on the steamer Yukon and, while
awaiting the arrival of a moving
picture camera, are making a week’s
camping trip in the mountains adja
cent Seward. Upon leaving Seward
for the Westward the party will go
to Anchorage, thence down the Inlet
in a small boat to Katmai harbor
and then inland to the valley. The
trip in and out is expected to take
at least three weeks.
Mrs. Handy, formerly Miss Dora
Keene of Philadelphia, .has made six
trips to Alaska and is widely known
not only in the Territory but thru
out the United States, as one of its
foremost mountain climbers. The
Alps and the Andes have been scal
ed by Mrs. Handy but it was her
Alaska exploit in 1912, when she
climbed Mt. Blackburn, in the Cop
per River district, that she gained
fame thruout the land. Statistics
reveal that Mrs. Handy is the only
person in the world who has climb
ed this peak, which rears its head
16,140 feet. Thirty-three days were
required to reach the crest, Mrs.
Handy stated and 13 of these days
were spent, lost in a raging snow
storm.
As a tourist, Mrs. Handy first came
to Alaska in 1898, arriving in Skag
way when that town wras but two
days old, and boasted of a popula
tion of 2,000 inhabitants. Mr. Sexton
proprietor of the Sexton hotel, has
accompanied Mrs. Handy on trips
about this district. Of her, Mr. Sex
ton remarked yesterday, “I used to
be a pretty good mountain climber
myself in earlier days but I never
saw anyone who could equal Mrs.
Handy.” It was in 1911 that Mrs.
Handy visited in Seward and while \
spending two weeks in the Kenai J
district, read an account in a geolo-1
gical publication, of Mount Black-'
burn. She determined them she
would have to climb the mountain
and at once began planning the ven
ture. A preliminary trip was made
to the base of the mountain and the
following year, in May 1912, ascend
ed the mountain to its .topmost peak.
Mr. Handy is an oldtimer in the
Territory, having resided in Alaska
for twelve years. He is a mining
operator and has extensive interests
in the Territory.
“YAKIMA JACKS” CASTS HIS
ENTREE BALLOT, MARATHON
As the Big Day of the Celebration
approaches it is apparent the classic
event of the clay will once again be
the Marathon race up the mountain
on July 4. Entrees are being filed
every day, but not all the entrees
will race for following the heart ex
amination, three men have thus far
been forbidden to run in the event.
Yesterday, a possible star in the
firmament made himself known to
the committee casting his entree for
the event. “Yakima Jacks” is the
pseudonym he filed under, and from
the first impression gained by those
who looked him over, Champ Alec
Bolam will have his work cut out
for him.
