CLIMB M'KINLEY
To Decide Question Whether

of Great Peak.
COOK GLAD THEY'RE GOING
Aalirl Curtis Saj May Is Time for j
.W-ont Cmk Says Finding of j
Keeonls Can't Be Avoided' if
His ICoiilc Is Taken.
SEATTLE. Wh.. Oct. 1. Steps are
being taken In this city to organize a
party of amateur mountaineers to cllmD
Mount McKinley. Alaska, the tallest peak
in North Anvrlra. While there are no
professional guides in the Pacific North
west, hundr.-ds of men and women have
climbed the volcanoes of the Northwest,
including Mount Katnler, the second loft
iest summit in the I'nited States, the
enormous ice fields of which give oppoi
tunlty for test of nerve. Among the
mountaineers there is a disposition not to
express an opinion on the disputed as
cent by Dr. Took, there being- a friendly
feeling toward him. Asahel Curtis, re
puted to be the most expert climber In
the Northwest, raid today:
"The ascent of Mount McKinley ia quite
feasible, if undertaken by a properly
equippd expedition. There must be at
least five men. all experienced. The route
of Dr. Cook is best by steamer to Tyonek,
on Cook Inlet, then up the Susitna River
' In a power boat.. The Jce field on Moun
I tain Rainier brpin at feet, on Mount
' McKinley at 2K feet. The ascent to the
summit of Mount Rainier from the camp
above timber-line is marie In a day; on
i Mount McKinley the party must sleep
1 night after night on the ice end must
' carry all Its supplies. There w ill be
much lifeline work on Mount McKinley.
and a party smaller than five picked men
' would take a tremendous risk of the fall
1 of one 'iran carrying down the whole
party.
"The party should start from Seattle
: late in April or early in May. Its pro-.
: gresv would dejieiui on whether it encoun
r tered fogs and storms or good weather.
An early siart is necessary to take ad
I vantage of the hard- snow of Spring and
avoid the ioe of Summer. No inexpe
rienced man should think of taking part
; in the accent.
"Swiss guides have failed on the Pa
cific mountains. They are bewildered
when they come to the ice. They ask:
' 'Where i the traiir The Alps are ex
plored thoroughly, but the Coast moun
tains are unmapped."
PEARY'S NEGRO ON PI.ATFOUM
Servant Tells of His Experiences on
' Polar Hunt.
NEW YORK. Oct. 18. The first lec
ture given by Matthew A. Henson. who
accompanied Commander R. E. Peary
on his recent polar expedition, was
marred by the fact that Commander
Peary, at the last moment, had ordered
him not to use photographs -which had
been taken on the trip. Henson took
102 pictures . himself and. on his ar
rival here. Kave them to the director
of the American Museum of Natural
History, who transformed them into
lantern slides. At the last moment Mr.
Peary Instructed the museum director
not to turn the slides oven to Henson
until he (Peary) had examined them.
The director followed Peary's order.
There were many Cook sympathizers
in the audience and the negro lecturer
was questioned closely on many points.
Henson declared frequently throughout
his lecture that Cook could not have
reached the North Pole, and it is said
That he will repeat these statements In
the lectures which he will give in
other cities throughout the country.
CAN'T AVOID FINDING RECORDS
Cook Kcjoices That Coast Men Will
, Climb McKinley. '
TOLEDO. O.. Oct. 18. "I am pleased
to hear of it." said Dr. Frederick A.
. Cook, when Informed of the plans for an
expedition from Seattle for the ascension
, of Mount McKinley.
i "If the expedition follows my route and
!' reaches the southwest peak, it cannot
i well avoid finding my records. That
( would have an important bearing upon
j the controversy surely. I think 1 know
! Mr. Curtis, who is quoted concerning the
; proposed expedition.
I "I believe, however, that the attempt
is intended to be made next Summer. Jt
Is too .late for this year. The summit
of the mountain could not be reached
other than in a dirigible balloon. The
Suchitna River would be froxen up."
; ( AS CONFIRM COOK'S STORY
Captain of Crew of Danish Ship
Lived Among Eskimos.
TOLEDO. O., Oct. 18. Dr. Frederick
A. Cook, -who lectured here tonight, said
that officers of the Danish government
ship Godrhaab, which has Just arrived at
Copenhagen, after a northern voyage,
might be able to give information which
would throw light upon the Polar con
troversy. He referred especially to Cap
tain Schoubye and Engineer Struck.
"These men passed two weeks among
t v. m ir.ifimo from -whom I recruited the
f rnen for my expedition." said Dr. Cook.
! "They can speak Eskimo perfectly and
j Several scientific men were aboard the
ship."
. Dr. Cook will conclude his lecture tour
' this week, closing at Minneapolis, and
! will then return to New York to work
' upon his documents.

HEARST TALKS ON ISSUES
(Continued From First Page )
cratic ticket. I ran for Governor of
New York as much a foe of Tammany
Hall as I had run for Mayor a foe of
Tammany Hall the year before.
"Why did not Judge Gaynor do as I
did? Why . did not Judse Gaynor de
nounce Murphy and McCarren? He had
plenty of time to do it before McCarren
got sick."
Hearst's attack on Bannard tonight
gives the campaign a new angle, for
heretofore both have maintained what
might be called a truce, in view of the
act that both are attempting to defeat
Tammany.
Bannard In his speeches tonight said In
part:
"I am a candidate for Mayor because a
good many people think the City Hall j
needs a business man. I am a business j
man with ten years or legal training
some knowledge of how city bonds
should be sold. The l-ue Is Tammany
graft and waste."
New Charge Against Ivins.
William M. Ivins. who. although not a
candidate himself, has laid the ground
work for a major part of the personal at.
tacks In the campaign, kept his place well
in the calcium of charge and counter
charge, during the day. Accused last night
by Henry George. Jr.. of trying to per
suade his father, the slngle-taxer. to with
draw from the Mayoralty campaign of
1JS6. in consideration of a seat In Con
gress, offered by Tammany, he faced yet
another charge "made by Colonel William
N. Amory, ex-secretary of the Third-Avenue
Railroad Company. Amory in an affi
davit attacked him as representing Thorn,
as F Rvan in bloekins traction investiga
tions in New York. He declare (hat
"Ivins was paid $20,000 by the commission
for shielding Ryan in the public-service
investigation.
"I am convinced." he said, "that Mr.
Ivins at tliat tjme had an understanding
with Ryan or his representatives for the
deliberate suppression of the facts."
Ivins Says He's Ryan's Adversary.
In reply. Ivlns issued a statement to
night, in which he said:
"1 am sorry for him (Colonel Amory).
for he could not take such an oath if
he were really responsible. As a matter
of fact. I have not seen Mr. Ryan or
any of h! associates for months except
as I have met his counsel in cSurt as my
adversary."
Gaynor spoke today, with "personal lib
erty, Hearst and police misrule'' as his
principal topics.

APPLE LAND $1650 AN ACRE
New Record for High Price Estab
lished at Hood River.
HOOD RIVER. Or.. Oct. 18. (Spe
cial.) The record price for an apple
orchard was broken at Hood River
today when Clyde K. Mason, of Chi
cago, a mechanical' engineer, paid
$16,500 for 10 acres In eight-year-old
trees. The varieties are Newtowns and
Spltzenbergs. The price per acre,
which is $1650, is $50 an acre higher
than has ever been obtained for fruit
land at Hood River. The purchase does
not Include any buildings, andJ. W.
Rodford. who sold, reserves the crop.

the agency of the Briggs-Ament Com
pany, is Bituated on the east side of the
valley and Joins a number of high
priced tracts. Mr. Mason Is accom
panied by his family and will remain
here.
While the price is thought by apple
men to be top-notch, it Is not regarded
as high, because of the recent sale of a
three-year-old orchard for $1000 an
acre, and another sale of $700 per acre
for iand that had been cleared but not
set to trees.

CHICAGO, Oct. 18. Fifteen thousand
men and women praying for Chicago's
deliverance from vice, invaded the. ten
derloin district tonight, led by "Gypsy"
Smith, evangelist, who is conducting a
revival here. A great chorus, singing
sacred 'songs drowned out the coarse
music o the cafes and saloons and the
lights were dimmed by the flare of the
brilliant illumination which blazed the
way of the Christian army.
Along the route thousands of curious
spectators thronged the sidewalks. It
was an orderly crowd, however, and the
churchmen and women were unmolested.
Before the parade thousands of persons
filled the Seventh Regiment Armory and
many thousands listened to exhorters in
the street. '
The procession, led by a detachment
of police, started on its journey about 10
o'clock. The route was well-guarded by
police and when " the destination of the
crusaders was reached, hundreds of po
licemen were present to see that the
orders against any ribald demonstration
were enforced.
As the marchers, singing. "I Am Pray
ing for You," "Onward. Christian Sol
diers." "Rescue the Perishing." and a
score of other sacred songs, filed through
the forbidden streets, the throng of curi
ous watotted silently. For more than an
hour the parade continued and then In
two large auditoriums, one a theater and
the other a church, big crowds listened
to the earnest appeal from "Gypsy"
Smith and other preachers.
ilany Chicago people had protested
against the Invasion, insisting it would
do no good. -The men and women behind
the ' movement declared, however, that
their mission would arouse Chicago to
the necessity of cleaning Mp its underworld.

Oakland and before Miss Islington's
marriage to' Daniel Frohman. At that
time Mr. Bowes was reputed to be
worth a million and was extensively
engaged In real estate.
A few years ago he moved to Tacoma

real estate deal which caused the older
residents to gape in astonishment, and
failure was predicted on all sides.
The young millionaire made good,
however, and cleared up a million. He
recently moved into ,ki own office
building, which, for general appoint
ments, is one of the finest on the
Coast. It is entirely of marble.
STAGE STAR SEEKS DIVORCE
Mrs. Daniel Frohman Still Longs for
Simple Life.
RENO, Nev., Oct. 18. Mrs. Daniel
Frohman. more familiarly known by
her stage name of Margaret Illlngton,
today filed suit for divorce in the Dis
trict Court of this city, alleging that
her husband has for the last two years
failed to contribute to her support.
Other than the bare statement that
the plaintiff has resided in Reno for
more than six months; that there were
no children and no community prop
erty, the complaint contains nothing.
No alimony is asked for.
For nearly a year Mrs. Frohman has
resided in this city, coming here with
in a few months after she completed
her engagement as the star in "The
Thief."
She has lived quietly, never appear
ing at social events, but contenting
herself with walking ami horseback
riding. She has changed wonderfully
in appearance since coming to Reno,
and is now large and robust. It is
not thought that the suit will be con
tested. What Mrs. Frohman's plans are in case
she secures her decree are not known, al
though some time ago she stated that she
was tired of the stage and wished to lead
a simple life in the future.
The Frohmans were married In New
Tork, November 22, 1903.

Opening: of the new Portland Theater,
last night, was a matter of moment to
theatergoers for one reason In particular
it was made plain that a really notable
class of productions Is to be given to
Portland by the Shuberts.
"The Great John Ganton," with George
Fawcett In the title role, was the premier
attraction and it was worthily selected.
It proved a pleasant surprise, surpassing
the expectations of those who had been
prepared for something unusual. A re
markable story is given an appreciable in
terpretation by a capable company. It
has to do with important phases of Ameri
can commercial and social life. , It bristles
with tense situations, stirring lines, strik
ing situations, and "heart interest." to
employ a sorely overworked phrase.
And when, after playing with the feel
ings of his audience as no one has done
perhaps since Warfleld was last - here,
George Fawcett admitted In response to
his eighth curtain call that It was his
first appearance in Portland,, those who
were there felt they had been cheated
of something in that fact. He has long
been rated by many as the leading char
acter actor of the American stage. That
rating is acceptable to Portland.
Fawcett, as the great John Ganton, Is
remarkably cast. He gives to the role
of the big hard-headed industrial giant
an Interpretation that must be classed as
a masterpiece of its kind. He gives life
and substance to a type of American
that very few actors might depict ade
quately. Fawcett revealed an unlimited
resource, an infinite capacity for detail,
a thorough mastery of the art of making
his audience feel.
The story itself has to do with John
Ganton. his co!Wge-bred son, that youth's
supposedly undesirable fiancee, and the
differences that naturally arise between
father and son only to disappear when
the old man becomes disillusioned. Side
lights are thrown on Chicago society and
certain important phases of the Chi
cago business world.
The elder Ganton has built up a big
corporation by his hard-headed methods.
The business has its tentacles In every
part of the world and thrives under con
ditions that wouldn't be confessed In
open court. Ganton, following the meth
ods "he says he must follow or go
down in the struggle for survival, has
wrecked his bueiness antagonist, who
shoots himself, leaving behind a daughter.
The daughter, of course, becomes en
gaged to the younger Ganton; the head
of the household brands her as an adven
turess and awakens to find himself very
much mistaken. The subduing of Gan
ton's relentless energy by inevitable
breakdown and the attendant falling
away of the callouses that have grown
about his nature, are subtly wrought Into
a striking and stirring- climax.

Brink. M. A. Alexander, Charles Ferris
and William Keyes, prominent stockmen
of Big Horn County, were placed on trial
today at Basin, charged with the murder
of Joe Alemanda and Joe Emge. sheep
owners, and Joe Lazier, herder. These
men were slain in the Spring Creek raid
on the flight of April 2. when hundreds
of sheep were killed and maimed and the
bodies of the men burned in the camp
wagon. '
The arrest of the men came as the re
sult of an investigation started by the
Wyoming Woolgrowers' Association.
The grand Jury brought true bills and all
the accused men were arrested. An at-
tempt to cauee the escape of some of
the men after they had been released on
bail was frustrated by rearrest.
An International aspect has been given
the case through the activity of the
French government, inasmuch as Laxier,
one of the victims, was a French citizen.
