Isl the a. N. fq "a

Minneapolis, Minn.-Word has
been received from Tacoma. WASH.
where Louis w. Hill was guest Of
commercial organizations. that James
]. Hill had telegraphed him that he
had resigned as chairman Of the
board Of directors of the Great
Northern road in favor Of his son.
Louis w. Hill is attending the North.
western Development congress at Sc
attic.
This action on the part Of James
]. Hill has been expected as. a part
Of the reorganization of the company,
commenced when Louis w. Hill re-
signed as president in favor Of Mr..
Gray. For weeks before Mr.. Gray's
promotion was announced, rumors
from sources more or less reliable
had given the retirement Of James
]. Hill as part of the program, but
the announcement now made was
the first information that could be
considered authentic. The change
will take effect July 1.
Az the information of the change
was made in q telegram from father
to son, the statement that the form
or had resigned in favor Of the lat
ter IL taken to mean what 1t says.
In the case of many railway corpora
tions the headship of the board of d.
rectors can not be delegated, the fin
ancial interests represented choos-
ing the chairman by weight of In.
vestment. In the case of the Great
Northern, however, Mr.. Hill created
the property, has always dominated
it without having to fight for the
prerogative, and as much as any man
could be, has been the Great North
ern. It was understood, therefore,
that If Mr.. Hill chose to pass his
crown to his son there would be no
opposition on the part of his direc-
torate.
To what extent this passing of of.
flee from father to son means the
retirement of James ]. Hill from &C
tive railroading, local financiers are
slow to guess. The opinion is ex-
pressed, however, that while Mr.. Hill
retains his physical and mental vigor
he will be in close touch with Great
Northern affairs, and that no mat
ter who may be president of the
road or chairman Of it's board, James
J. Hill will be what he has been for
nearly 40 years, head Of the Great
Northern.
"My father has always run the
Great Northern, and since I've been
big enough to work I've beeen head
Office boy. That is the situation. It
always will be- the situation as long
as I've anything to say about 1t. I
shall be happy Just keeping on as
head Office boy"
This was l.. w. HILLS interpreta-
ton of the news that he had been
elected his fathers successor.

Gaseous Atmosphere Makes Everyone

Of Rockets.

Seward, Alaska.-Passengers on
the mail steamer. Dora, which arrived
from the westward, after passing
through hail of ashes from Katmai
volcano, believe that several small
fishing villages on the shores of Shell
ikof strait have been destroyed by
the eruption. The revenue cutter SER
vice at Unalaska has been asked to
send assistance.
Those on the steamer were nearly
suffocated by poisonous gases, as she
passed through the falling ashes.
The Dora was in sight Of Katmai
when the eruption began and those on
the vessel witnessed a brilliant spec.
tacle. It was o'clock in the after.
noon and the mountain was In plain
view. Subsequent earthquakes dis
turbed the water Of the strait, when
suddenly terrific explosion occurred
in the mountain and a great mass Of
rocks was thrown into the air. The
first explosion was followed by others
in quick succession, each seemingly
more terrific than the one preceding
Soon a steady stream Of rock and
ashes poured from the peak and
spread far over the surrounding coun.
try. obscuring the sun and shutting
the troubled mountain from sight.
At o'clock, when the Dora was 20
miles from the volcano, total dark
ness came. and ashes began to fall
upon the deck in thick clouds, cover
ing it with white layer, three inches
deep. The sitting atmosphere made
the passengers violently i'll. Through.
out the night the Dora steamed
through the dust-laden air and was
rocked by the earthquakes that dashed
the water, while the mountain thun-
dered menacingly in the distance.
The volcanic disturbance Is the
most violent ever recorded in Alaska.
It was estimated that an area of 300
square miles. much of 1t fertile terri
tory, has been covered to a depth of
several inches by the volcanic ash.
First evidence that the volcano was
preparing to free itself from the rocks
and lava that had choked it's throat
for many years came when the
Alaskan peninsula was rocked by
violent earthquake. At that time the
Dora was at Cold Bay, only Is miles
from the volcano. When the eruption
began she had crossed the Shelikof
strait to Kodiak and was proceed
ing on her course.
