THE DAY’S WORK.
Both summits of Mt. McKin
ley, the highest mountain on the
American continent, have been
slaked and recorded, and Sour
dough Alaskans did the work.
Scientists and professional
mountain climbers with interna
tional reputations have tackled
the job, time and time again and
they have failed every time. Ev
ery time a Sourdough Alaskan
has tackled the climb he has
walked right up the mountain
side^. nutil the top was reached.
There are 10,000 Alaskans who
could climb McKinltv, and there
is proalby not a Gheechaco who
could, without an Alaskan Sour
dough guiding his footsteps.
Mt. McKinley would have been
climbed many years ago and a
roadhouse with saloon attach
ment erected on the highest peak
if there had been any call or ex
cuse for such work. Alaskans ar
essentially practical, and as they
are climbing hills every day in
their day’s work, they can see
no sense in climbing the highest
■of hills just to be able' to say
that they did it. Such work
seems foolish to them. If the
Cheechacos had not tried and
failed so often Lo ascend Mc
Kinley; had not written so many
stories of the superhuman feat
,(as they call it and lied so much
about McKinley, it is certain that
the mountain would never have
been tackled by our,buys. With
sufljh tin advertisement as the
supposed diIVif111 ties of the climb
were given, some of the Sour
doughs began to wonder if there
was anything in the'stories, and
if then was a dilVicully in Alas
ka that an Alaskan could not
sunmomil. It was lo satisfy this
curiosity and vindicate the Alas
kan’s belief in himself that the
Lloyd parly walked up Mt. Mc
Kinley and dragged a long flag
pole with them. Professional
■climbers fried lo follow their
trail and failed, and in failing
sought to cast suspicion on the
achievements of the Lloyd party
and create the impression that
the Lloyd Hag is not there and
never has been.
Archdeacon stuck, in Ins pride |
of Alaska, proceeded to set the
mailer at rest for all time to
come by gathering three husky
Alaskans together and going up
McKinley willi them. The Lloyd
parly elimlied I he north peak of
McKinley, so the. Stuck party
tackled l he south peak, which
is the higher peak of tile two.
Today the American flag floats
from both •summits of Mrjvinloy,
and Alaskans did the work. The
world will believe Archdeacon
Stuck, and ( he world’s people will
neve'r again doubt that the Lloyd
parly and the Stuck party have
done the work that the profes
sional climbers have been un
able to do.
It is not si range that Alaskans
can climb their own mountains,
and it is not strange that the
Cheechaeo cannot. The GheeCha
co climbs mountains “by the
book.” He follows the prescrib
ed style in all his climbing, and
if he comes to a new difficulty
never before encountered by one
of his class, he sits down by the
trailside, pulls out the book and
looks for instructions. If ho
cannot find a paragraph to fit the
case, he packs his kit and turns
back, declaring the mountain is
unclim'bablcf The Sourdough
Alaskan when cliin/bing hills
knows nothing about the rules
of the game as prescribed by the
professionals, so he just keeps
putting one foot before the oth
er and following them upward
until lie arrives. If he comes to
a hole that is too wide to jump
and which he cannot bridge, he
goes around it. It never occurs
to an Alaskan to quit on the

trail until he arrives—naturally,
it iw only a question of time un
til the Alaskan retaches the de
sired point.
fEvery Alaskan has pride in his
heart today over the staking of
every peak on McKinley by Alas
kans. No Alaskan ever doubted
but that almost any Alaskan
could do the work, but every
Alaskan is proud today to know
(hat the work is completed and
that the world can never doubt
that Alaskans did it. Few Alas
kans would care to climb McKin
ley, for there is nothing but hard
work to it and no possible pro
fit, but we are all glad the hill
is staked and recorded beyond the
possibility of attack from fhe
lying claim jumpers who form
