Douglas Island news., 1907-07-10

There appeared in the Juneau Daily Record Miner some time ago an article which has brought out much favorable comment. The writer urged that, as the interests of the three towns on Gas tineau Channel are the same, they should be bound together by some kind of an organization, the object ot which would be to further any scheme to build up this section of the country. The project is good one, and so many of the business men and others are in terested that it only waits for the voice of a leader and the thing is done. One of the first things that should be done by such an organization is to so thoroughly advertise this part of Alas ka that the whole world will know its possibilities. Make noise. Shout It from the hill tops in every land that here we have a rich blessing of nature waiting for man to come and enjoy it's fuIlness. Let the men with money to invest know that here Is the chance they are looking for, and let the labor ing men, the home-builders, know that here are opportunities for them as we'll. Workers are already scarce in this sec tion, but if the great projects that are taking shape on both sides of the chan nel are to be carried out. if the roar of the 500 stamps at the Treadwell is to be echoed by a thousand or fifteen hun- dred across on the Sheep Creek side, where are the workers? There are ma ny, many ways in which such an organ ization could help push things along, and those of us who can not achieve great things would be able to each do his little part.

Alaska Tradition

The Alieuts have tradition that at one time the islands of Oonalashka and Oumnak were nearly covered with fire mountains" of various sizes. An argument arose and they quarreled among themselves as to which had the largest body of fire within it.
 After prolonged dispute in which not one would yield to the others, it was decided that the best way to settle the question was by trial of strength.
 Almost fearful conflict ensued, which lasted for many days. The mountains throw fire and rocks at each other in- stead of spears. This continued until the smaller peaks, recognizing that they could not withstand the conflict, bowed down in sorrow and went out forever.
 Finally only two of the craters re- mained, one at Oonalashka-Makushin (Ayak)-and the other at Oumnak, the Rechesnia GsmakJ. These having van quished the others, engaged in a terri ble single handed conflict, with the most disastrous consequences to their surroundings. Fire, rock and ashes were thrown over the adjoining coun- try, the animals in the neighborhood were all killed, and the air became heavy with the gases.
 Oumnak crater finally realized that it could continue the conflict no longer, so gathering all it's energy, it jumped up with a great bound and collapsed.
 The Makushin volcano, being victor and but little injured, and seeing no more competitors, quieted down and now only smokes occasionally.
