PBOF. HERSGHELL PARKER PUNS
CONQUEST OF HINT EVEREST
Herschel C. Parker, former profes
sar of Physics at Columbia Univer
sity, inventor, scientific writer, con
sults g engineer, and explorer of
mountains <n Washington, British
Columbia and Alaska left this morn
ing ax the train, for Mile 40 en
ro.uti to tho Yetna district, to act
ag consulting engineer in testing
mining claims tor himself and cer
tain New: York owners.
Professor Parker Ja a physicist by
vocation. "Mountain climbing" as
sured the professor, "is no texact
ly a lucrative occupation. If one
could give assurance that there
wag a mother lode of mineral on
tho *cp of a certain mountain, he
could get an abundance of funds
for an expedition; but the mere ideal
of climbing is an entirely different
matter." -
In his spare momenta he invents.
Among his recent aooompliahmeiHl
in this line ia the helioscope. This is
a device u^ed in submarines for
looking under the water. He has of
fered this patent to the U. S. gov
ernment, with the provision of
retaining ceratia commercial phases
Pf It.
The government is now making
use Qt one of Prof. Parker's pre
vious idea^ This is the po-called
"mo'or destroyers," a type of under*
sea speed boat; operated by but two
men and capable pf hurling tor
pedoes oa well as traveling at a Tate
of forty mileg an hour. It was re
garding this invention that Henry
Ford became involved in a contro
versy with! Prof. Parker, Just b ef
forts the former's famous peace ship
sailed for Europe.
In 1897 Prof. PaTker sketched th
first map ever made covering the
country north of the C. P. R., in
which district he did considerable
mountaineering. He has to his
credit in that country, the success
ful conquests pf Mt. GoodBir, near
Dawson B. C., and mountains Hung
abee, Deltofomiv Biddle and Lefroy
in Alberta. He also climbed Mt. Ol
ympus, in Washington state in 1907
Prof. PaTker, it Will he remem
bered. won world wide fame by be
ing the man heading the first party
to reach the highest point of Mt
McKlnley. Thia he accomplished
only after three different expedi
tions. finally reaching the highest
of the several peaks in 1912. He
was with Dr. Cook earlier; hut
after Dr, Cook's false claim to
have reached the tofl of Mt McKln
ley Parker's association with the
dpctor were severed,
"The spot photographed by Dr. 1
Cool*," sajd Prof. Parkgr at the
Seward Hotel yesterday, and claim
ed by him. to- be the summit, jraa
a utk 250 feet high,1 and twenty
miler from the. base of Mt. MciKin
ley. I had taken, a, photograph from
almogt the identical spot; and wa«
testified before a board of gcipatifia
inquiry ia 1916."
"My exploring days are not
over." affirmed Prof. Parker, "and
as soon as my engineering work In
tho Yetna district is completed, I
intend to begin the conquest o£ tho
hithtrN> unattainable, the assent
of Mt, Everest in Asia,"
Ntlody has yet even reached the
ba^e cf Mt. Everest, because of the
net work of rugged peak* that ao
completely interlace the approach.
Mount Everest may; be aproached
onlv from the Tibet Bide; and rises
29,002 feet above the sea level, the
lofties' in the world.
Prof. Parker wa^ formerly; vice
presiden* of the Exp lore re Club of
New York, and was acting Pre*i
den,'' last year. He was al&Q a mem
ber of the very exclusive British
Alpine Club, as well as many oth
er mountaineering and scientific
clubs. ;;
He will Tetum to Seward Borne
time in March, though Wfl work 1H
the Yetna country will no doubt
keep liim in Alaska mors or less
for tne next few years. Ha will
bring equipment for the work some
'ime 'n the spring.—Seward Pont,
It will be remembered bX fflttay
Ska^wayana that upon; hi® retaru
from his attempted climb to the
summit of Mf. McKinley, Prof. Park
er, iu company with Ba lino re BpoWn,
came out by way of White Pass.
He stopped over in Skagway long
enougn to become a member : of
Camp,. Skagway No.1, Arctia Broth
erhood, having declining an invita
tion to join the Brotherhood in
Fairbanks, stating that he preferred
to become a member of the Mother
Camp of the Brotherhood.
It was to the members of Camp
Skajway that Prof. Parker tlrat
(old his st»i% of the climb to the
20,000 ft. elevation, first putting all
members present at the meeting on
their honor that they would Ho#
make the story public until after
he bad given it to the press 14 the
