Heroine of the Matterhorn Mile Grindaux First Ascent
A 17 year old girl Mile Grindaux, daughter of a Zermatt stationer, becomes the season’s first Matterhorn climber. Accompanied by guides Perrin and Blonner, she scales the peak after two earlier weather delays, reaching the summit at dawn and returning to Zermatt by evening. She says she preferred no aid from her guides and would have liked to continue climbing. A German climber yielded his bid to be first up after learning of her plan.

A discussion on how postage stamps began references a 65 year old anecdote from a northern England inn where a girl could not pay postage until a bystander paid it, hinting at a communication system between siblings. The piece promotes Hicks Almanac for 1907 and an ad for DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve, plus Mrs. Austins Pancakes promising appetite regain, with notices from Word and Works Publishing Co.
