g . 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.

whose interests wo consider paramount until a law is
passed requiring us lo accept it. At the present time no
state' has such legislation in existence .and the attorney
general of Illinois last week expressed the following opinion
along this line:
; , "A newspaper is not a public utility and is re-
sponsible for whitl.il docs the same as ally other
, private concern. A newspaper management sells
its space and may for any reason deny any and all
proferred business, the same as .any other private
business enterprise. It appears to me under the . ,
laws of tho slate that a newspaper publisher may
for business reasons, or out of pure whim, deny
anyone the advantage of an advertisement or space
in such a paper." j
