ARCTIC VOLCANO
rs ON RAMP AGE
Mount Pavloff Has Been Active All
Summer and Pouring
Out Smoke.

SEATTLE, Wash. Sept. 6.-Mount
Pavloff, the volcanic peak in the Aleu-
tian Islands, has been active this sum-
mer, according to advices brought by
the bark Guy G. Goss. Owing to the
vigor of Bogosloff. Shishaldin and
Pavloff, the famous Aleutian vol
canoes during the year of 1908 and
the fine weather for observation OF
them, a number of expeditions were
sent out last summer to photograph
them, but the weather during the pres
ent year has been SO foggy that it has
been dangerous to approach the Is
lands.
On the way north the Goss observed
Pavloff sending thousands of feet in
to the air a column of smoke, which
branched and spread out like the
limbs of huge tree. What appeared
to be lava, but what was probably
ashes, poured down the side OF the
peak.
On the southern voyage no observa
ton could be made.

The board is assisted in its work by
various subsidiary boards located in
different parts of the United States
and its possessions which forward TO
the Washington headquarters all the
data they can obtain as to the names
in dispute. One of the most import
ant subsidiary boards is that maintain
ed in the Philippines, where more
than the ordinary confusions as to
proper names exists. 1t is largely
with the data now enroute from the
islands that the coming M "eting VIII
act upon.

LA TOILETTE MAY SWING
AROUND TIE CIRCLE
Progressive Candidate For President
Planning an Extensive Can
dldating Trip.

WASHINGTON, Sept 6.-The great
swing around the circle for the pur-
pose of promoting the movement to
nominate either himself or some 9th
er progressive president may be made
late In the fall by Senator La Fol-
lette.
INQUIRY at the headquarters of the
progressive republicans developed the
fact that Senator La Toilette is recelv-
ing many letters urging him to make
trip through the middle west and
the northwest some time this fall, be-
fore the session of congress opens.
No decision has vet been reached.
Senator La Toilette has returned to
Washington from Pennsylvania and is
engaged in preparing series OF
magazine articles and II the trip is
made doubtless it will be well along
In the fall: perhaps late in October OF
in November
The political importance Of a triI
OF this sort would be great Senator
La Toilette now is the only candidate
for president actually in the fielo
against President Taft The persona
following of Senator La Toilette is
large and enthusiastic. His friends
believe that he has the largest person
al following of any republican in the
country aside from Roosevelt.
For him to make one of the swings
through a number of states, such al
are commonly made by men seekins
tho presidency, would make it possible
to gauge in some measure the exten
/ of the revolt which is on among re
nublicans to the denomination of Pres
4 ident Taft.

of that organization, announced today
that the campaign will be launched
in short time with view to bring.
