The lecture was broadeast over a statewide hookup over the Station KPO, to an esti- audience of 3,000,000 listen- ers. Mr Frothingham's real heart in- tevest in Alaska can be appreciated when these excerpts from his lec- forbidding lahd of eternal ice an: snow, unfit for occupation by white men, inhabited principally by som¢ Eskimos and Indians, and of little val This view is not withou adhe! 5 in our national legisla tive h Perhaps it had its origin in thc cupidity of the Russian discoverer: of 1741, who, when they learnec how, plentiful sea otter and fu | seal were, spread harrowing talc: | to discourage the rest of the worlc from coming in to share profits. “As a matter of fact, most of Alaska lies in the north temperate |zone and exhibits about. the samc | variety of climate as the States.” Outdoors Is Hobby | Mr. Frothingham is a vital mid- dle-aged man whose hobby is the | great outdoors and telling the r |of the world about it. During the time he was uptown last evening, most of which was spent praising the wonders of the | Territory, he spoke characteristi- cally of our great Mt. McKinley. He referred to it as “the greatest | pile of secenic grandeur on the face |of the earth, and the greatest mountain, bar none, on the face of that same earth.” He stated an interesting fact: that Mount Everest, considered the highes* mountain peak in the world, rises to her 29,141 feet above sea level, irmm a plateau 14,000 feet elevatior. | Therefore the height of the moun- | tain proper is 15141 feet. He com- | pared that great mountain to M‘. | McKinley, saying: “It rises to its height of 20,300 feet above sea level from a plateau 2,000 feet elevation.
