ERUPTION ON
 UMNAK ISLAND

The ashes which the steamer Olym- pia carried to Nome from a peninsula volcano were not from Perry island, or any other of the BOgoslov group. as reported in the cable news, but from a nameless peak on Umnak island, west of Unalaska. Mount MakuShin, on Un- alaska island, is also having one of its intermittent periods of smoking up, and the man who sent out the story from Nome that there was a shower of ashes from Perry island must have been smoking mp also.
 This information is brought by Capt. Pond and other officers of the Buffalo, and District Attorney L. V, Ray who came home on the cruiser from Unalas- ka, where he went to wind up the Jap- anese poaching cases. All were Some- what surprised when they read in the Gateway cable dispatches that the Olympia had weathered a storm of volcanic ashes while passing the penin- sula and that the men on board the steamer had banned fine gold from ashes which fell on her deck. A few stray ashes fell upon the Buffalo but nobody aboard was thoughtful enough to sift gold dust out of the debris, and it was carelessly swept overheard.
 The peak in recent eruption is 100 miles west of Unalaska and plainly visi- ble as far as Unimak pass. It is pour ing out large volume of smoke and ashes Mount Makushin seems to be on a sympathetic strike, but is not doing much.
 The first eruption made shower of ashes which covered Unalaska and Dutch Harbor two inches deep. The native inhabitants were terror-stricken and ran wildly about in the belief that the world was about to see its finish.

TAKE ACTION ON
 TRAIL TO RENAL
Chamber of Commerce to Fol- low up Encouragement From
 Mai. Richardson.

At a special meeting of the chamber of commerce held in the Coleman house last night it was voted to make a formal request of the Alaska road commission for the cons 5ruction of a trail from mile 29 of the railroad to Ke- mai on Cook inlet. J. B. Cameron stated that the matter had already been con- sidered by Maj. Richardson, chairman of the commission, when he was here last last summer, and that Capt. Arm strong, who has had charge of con- struction of the Sunrise trail, is willing to recommend it.
 The chamber promptly voted to ap- point a committee to draft an address to the road commission, asking for the Kenai trail. Sentiment was unanimous and enthusiastic for the proposition that the government ought to be en- outraged to build all the trails in this part of Alaska for which money can be secured.
 Another resolution instructed the same committee to prepare compli- mentary resolution of acknowledgment to the Alaska road commission for the construction of the Sunrise trail and the Bear river trail and complimenting the commission and Capt. Armstrong on the efficient work done.
 Mir. Cameron, Judge Hildreth and others spoke in the most compliment tary terms of the work done by Capt. Armstrong on the Sunrise trail. All of the large number of men who have travelled over it in the past few months have done the same. |. will not be pleted until early next month and the cost will considerably exceed the orig inaI appropriation of $l5, 1000, but Capt. Armstrong was authorized by Maj. Richardson when work began to spend what ever might be necessary to com plete it.
 It is estimated that the proposed trail would be sixty miles long and will cost $5OOOO.

Officers Arrest Two

News of the assault was telephoned to Valdez and Deputy Marshal Wy brant went out with a score of special deputies. They arrested Halsey and his chief assistant and brought them to town. In spite of the efforts of the officers the prisoners were roughly handled by citizens before they were placed in jail. Halsey is a former deputy United States marshal.
 Public feeling and excitement run high and deputy marshals were kept busy all night breaking up street crowds to prevent a mob from organ geni2ing 70 attack the jail iu an erorJ to get the prisoners and lynch them. At 9:3O about 400 or 800 men gathered in front of the Owl drug store on Me Kinley street and a good deal of loud talking was heard but the crowd was dispersed before any act of violence occurred, although a leader at the right moment could have rushed the mob to the jail,
 It is plain that the Guggenheims in- tend to keep the Alaska Home Rail way out of Keystone canyon if pos,i- l,e. The Copper River x North western claims exclusive right of possession of the right of way in the canyon, although it abandoned the field last year and moved to KatalIa. Both companies are working in the canyon now and more trouble +, feared.
