Forest Service
Will Start Test
Fire in Alaska
SEATTLE, UP)—Early in July a
party of climbers will leave here
for an attempt on the highest un
sealed peak in the Alaska range.
Their objective is 12,240-foot
Mount Huntington, which rises
with a striking similarity of out
line to Switzerland’s famous Mat
terhorn, about 10 miles southeast
of Mount McKinley.
Unlike the Matterhorn, how
ever, the climbers will find no
established way up, with profes
sional guides and fixed ropes at
dangerous places.
Their route_ lies up the mile
long, narrow, steep and spectacu
larly corniced northwest ridge of
Mount Huntington. There will be
rock as well as snow and ice
climbing, but it’s the cornices that
present the toughest problem—
hence the expedition’s name: Op
eration Cornice.
Leader of the expedition is
Fred Beckey, widely known Seat
tle climber. Others in the party,
all of whom have had extensive
climbing experience, are John
Rupley, Herb Staley, and Dr.,
Thomas Hornbein, all of Seattle;
Harry King of Cambridge, Mass.,
and Wes Grande of Denver.
Besides seeking to add Mount
Huntington to the record books,
the climbers plan to do field re
search on parkas and sleeping
bags.
Male Dog’s Habit
Explained by Science
The male dog’s habit of lifting
its leg against trees, poles and
rocks is not without motive, states
the Gaines Dog Research Center,
New York. It is his means of
“staking a claim” to a region or
territory.
Experiments conducted to de
termine the reason for this habit
of male canines revealed that
dogs mark off territory via odors
the same way that we make maps
or charts. It was shown by the
experiments that dogs visualize
objects such as poles, rocks or
corner-stones as we do, and that
the dogs use these “markers when
staking off their territory.
Another conclusion reached by
the investigators was that dogs
used the method as a means to
let other dogs know they were
around. This amounts to a sort of
“Kilroy was here” sign among
dogs.
