Trail to Summit
Of McKinley Now
'Virtual' Post Road
ANCHORAGE, July 18 — W— The
route up Mt. McKinley, North Amer
ica’:: highest mountain, is now “vir
tually a Boston Post road,” says
Bradford Washburn, leader of the
latest expedition to conquer the 20,
257-foot peak.
Washburn, director of the Bos
ton museum, said yesterday members
of the mountain-climbing party left
markers every 100 feet to guide fu
ture climbers.
All eight members of the party
reached the summit, Washburn
said. Washburn, James Gale of An
chorage and Capt. William Hackett,
Denver, blazed a trail over a new
western route early last week.
Drs. John Ambler and Henry
Butchell, of Denver; Barry Bishop,
19-year-old University of Cincinnati
student; T. M. Griffiths, glacial
geologist from Denver University,
and Jerry Moore, 23, Dartmouth Col
lege student, followed Friday and
Saturday.
Washburn explained the expedi
tion was divided into sections so it
could use three-man igloos instead
of tents above 13,000 feet.
Washburn, Gale and Hackett built
the igloos as they climbed.
Washburn said Dr. Ambler and
Bishop descended the peak yester
day and Ambler left immediately
for the States.- Dr. Butchtel, Grif
fith and Moore were at the 10,000
foot level awaiting removal by plane.

For Clash
PITTSBURGH, July 18 —Wl—A
threat of late evening showers hung
over the outdoor Ezzard Charles
Jersey Joe Walcott heavyweight
championship fight as the gadiators
sweated out the hours for their third

dition of his life, is a 4 to 1 favor
ite, in a very light betting market,
to whip the 37-year-old perennial
challenger as decisively as he did
in their other collisions in Chicago
and Detroit.

Alaska Lure to
Attract Workers
A Civil Service Assembly month
ly newsletter published in Chicago
which was received here by Dr. I.
J. Montgomery, director of the Al
aska Merit System, gives an inter
esting paragraph on Alaska.
Carried under the heading, "Want
to be a modern pioneer?” the
story reads: "Old sourdoughs prob
ably would be jealous if they could
read the job announcements for
stenographers recently issued by
the Alaska Merit System. Increased
salaries and pleasant surroundings
are combined to lure them to Alas
ka. ‘Take a vacation and come to
Juneau’—and you will stay and
work for the Territory of Alaska.
Quiet waters, long summer even
ings, fishing and weather-mollify- [
fag ocean currents are combined !
with more mundane benefits such
as thirty days "of annual leave and ,
a 38-hour working week.
"Although nothing is said about
the possibilities of panning for j
gold, Territorial employees receiv
ing less than $5,000 annually re
cently got an 8 per cent salary in
crease.
“A survey showed the medium cost
for food and lodging for one per
sons is $150 per month and for
two sharing an apartment $95 each
per month.”

Ml, Olds Trip is
Set tor Saturday
A scheduled over-night hike to
the top of Mt. Olds by the Ship,
Shank and Shutter club has been
changed to a one-day expedition,
the Rev. H. E. Beyer, president of
the club, announced today.
The group will leave from the
high school building at 4 a m. next
Saturday, have a 6 o’clock break
fast in Granite Creek Basin and
begin the ascent at 8 o'clock. It is
planned to reach the top before
noon arid be back in Juneau by 6
p.m.
Mt. Olds is one of the higher
peaks in this area, 4460 feet, and is
on the edge of the Juneau Icecap.
On a clear day the top affords an
excellent view within a 100-mile
radius.
“Because we will be crossing
streams and snowfield, good foot
wear is essential,” Beyer said. “The
trip will be rugged and tiring. Any
one unaccustomed to hiking will
find it difficult.”
The trip will be subject to wea
ther conditions. Those interested
are asked to contact Carolyn Hoff,
874 or Blue 235.
