JUNEAU’S CLEAN UP CAMPAIGN. The clean up and paint up campaign in Juneau ought to be a thorough one. Juneau is the best town of its size on the Pacific Coast and it ought to be the cleanest and brightest town. not only a good business town but it is a fine place in which to live. That is one reason why it is a good business town. Those towns that are good to live in are usually thriving business com- munities. There is nothing that contributes to better living conditions than to have a town spic and span. Neat houses, freshly painted, and well groomed yards with gardens, lawns and flowers, artistic fences and walks, are satisfying to residents, cause them to have pride in their town and make them happier. Juneau businsss houses carry the stocks that are necessary for beautifying the City, and there is no reason at all for not making the Capital City the home of the most contented and happy people in the country and a matter of joy and pride to Alaska. The campaign that starts today will be continued for at least a week, and generally, we hope, through- out the Spring and Summer. The co-operation ought to be complete and the effort should be earnest. NOT ALWAYS SO BAD. The "Seattle Times thinks “lame duck” Congresses and Presidents have not always been as bad as some modern statesmen think them to be. It calls par- ticular attention to the circumstances that Washing- ton Territory was created by legislation which re- ceived executive approval the day before President Fillmore yielded the Presidency to President Plerce and that President Cleveland signed the Enabling Act for the future State of Washington after he had been defeated for re-election by President Harrison in 1888. The Times said: No particular reason for folks around here joining the general anvil chorus against “lame duck: It has been recalled that a lame duck Congress and President created Washington Territory March 3, 1853, and that another lame duck Congress and President in February, 1889, paved the way for the admission of Washington as a state the following November. The Pacific Northwest owes much to these, and other, defeated legislators and executives. The Times might also have. said that Texas was annexed to the United States in the “lame duck” days of President Tyler. A search of American his- tory would disclose a lot of constructive work by “jame duck” Congresses and Presidents. Juneau is\ ELECTION RETURNS FRAGMENTRY. Primary election returns from yesterday Alaska’s primaries are still too meager to announce definite results. However, some things stand out definitely: The great majority of Alaska’s votes were cast in the Democratic primary; Gastineau Channel gave the Democratic organization a rousing endorsement, and Ketchikan voted strongly for Ketchikan candi- dates. Gastineau Channel gave Dimond for Dele- gate 445 to 228 for Grigsby and 28 for Ziegler. The Channel gave National Committeeman Connors 526 to 48 for Frame and 41 for Hardcastle. It is not often Senator Johnson of California attracts our admiration. But we bow to him for moving to cut the Prohibition enforcement appro- priation fifty per cent. Why not reduce the waste to a minimum? Whether he killed his wife’s assaulter or not, Lieut. Massie has shown the mettle that denotes courage of high order. He has earned the right to be free. Climbing Mount McKinley. (New York Times.) Mount McKinley is a tremendous mountain in a {savage wilderness. Ito climb it, but only Archdeacon Stuck and his party |gained the top of the higher peak. Another effort {will hold the attzntion of mountaineers and may {have scientific value. It is now nineteen years isince Stuck, a seasoned alpinist, and his three com- |panions made the first ascent of the south peak, and through strong field glasses saw the flagstaff which Taylor and Anderson of the Lloyd party planted on the lower north peak in 1910. They had |carried the fourteen-foot pole with them, using no ‘rope. and cutting no steps—“a most extraordinary feat, unique,” testified the Archdeacon, “in all the annals of mountaineering.” Theirs was known as the Pioneers' expedition. They did not know which was the higher summit, but Archdeacon Stuck, who did know the difference, declared that such rugged fellows could have climbed both peaks in their last march. After nine years of traveling in the interior of Alaska, mainly with dogs, Archdeacon Stuck declared that he “would rather climb that mountain than discover the richest gold mine in the Territory.” Its base is not far above sea level, and the invader looks upon a mass rising nineteen thousand feet into the sky. The approach bristles with difficul- ties. Until the Muldrow glacier is reached, success is not imaginable. The conquerors of the south peak counted almost three months of effort since leaving Fairbanks before they stood on the top. Earthquake had shattered ridges that it was neces- sary to cross by hewing the way. The Parker- Browne party had made their failure a cause for congratulation, because only by retreat did they save themselves from being buried by the debris of & convulsion in 1912. Climbing McKinley must always be a stupend- ous adventure. No attempt has been made for nineteen years. One of the new party of Lindley is a Lake Placid man, Erling Strom, an experienced mountaineer; another is Henry Liek, Superintendent of McKinley National Park, and the fourth, Grant |Pearson, is a Park Ranger. Lindley has flown around the mountain to determine the best ap- proach, and is convinced that the only available route is that taken by Stuck. An airplane is to be used from a Fairbanks base progress of the party. By that device little time would be lost if a rescue expedition should become necessary. —— Did Governor Pinchot notice that Ohio, with two-thirds the wealth and population of Penn- sylvania, provides $25,000,000 for relief work?—(Wash- ington Post.)
