In a recent issue of Time, a weekly news-magazine of I note,' it was stated that Mi. Whitney, in California, the l Hghest peak ' in' tho United Stiites, has an elevation of I 14,501 feet above sea level. We do not have available the ffovernment figures on mountain altitudes, but the su ; premacy ;of Mt. Whitney is generally accepted, we believe, though only by a smaH margin. Our records show Mt. -Whitney ,to be 14,502 feet high, Mt. Rainier 14,408 feet, jMt. Shasta 14,380 feet, and Oregon's own Mt. Hood 11,225. UNDESIRABLE ADVERTISEMENTS.
