A PERSONAL WORD

With this issue of the Imperial
Valley Press I sever my connection
with Imperial valley newspaperdom-a
connection that has been maintained
for the past five years, and half
decade that viii always remain IN my
memory as The pleasantest in my
newspaper experience Of many years.
In this connection ! wish TO express

highly the friendships created during
this period 1t gives me much pleas

permitted 10 take a part in this great
era of development of one OF the most
notable agricultural projects OF the
United States. Wherever ! may be
located in the future, | shall always
retain the warmest feelings of attach

generous people.
wish also to express my partcu-
lar appreciation of the cordial rela-
tions that have existed between the
other members of the newspaper IRA

Nowhere in my newspaper work have

DEAD IN ERUPTION
OF ALASKA VOLCANO
Believed Seven Villages
Were Completely
Destroyed
BE NEW ONE
Believd New Volcano Center
Has Appeared in the AL
askan Range
MAY BE NEW ONE

Seward, Alaska.-A cannery tend
er from Uyak, on the Shelites shore
of Kodiak Island. brought word to-
day that the pople there are safe,
but it is thought that seven fishing
villages with a total population of
200 on the Alaska peninsula in the
immediate vicinity of Katmai volcano
were destroyed by the eruption of
last Thursday.
Seattle, Wash.-The ashes that
falling at Fairbanks, Alaska and the
Yukon territory in the Yukon val
ley far from the coast, are believed
to have come from a new volcano
center in the Alaskan range. The
winds that blew from the ocean en-
counter high ranges OF mountains
before reaching the coast. This fact
accounts for the dryness of interior
Alaska. The same mountain ranges
would prevent ashes from the coast
volcanoes which are all near tide
water, from reaching the interior.
Persons arriving at Fairbanks.
from the Mt. Hayes country who had
not been informed of the outbreak
in the Aleutian range reported can
,%nonading as of a volcano in the vic
Unity of Mt. Hayes. These sounds
could not have been blown from the
coast.
No word has been received today
from the venue currer and the
wireless station is out Of business.
Probably the mex news from Kodiak
will be brought by steamer.
Buried Under Foot of Ashes.
Kodiak, Alaska, via Tug to Sew
m-nodiak and Woody island viii
lagos are buriend under a foot of
ashes as a result OF the eruption
of Katmai volcano, beginning Thurs
day afternoon and lasting forty-eight
hours. No lives have been lost here.
and many other settlements near
the volcano must have suffered in
describably.
The venue cutter Manning was
in port here when the eruption be-
gan and furnished refuge for all
the inhabitants of the town, 500
men, women and children, doubtless
saving many lives. The Manning is
now serving distilled water and
government rations to the destitute
people. the water supply having been
polluted and springs filled with ash

MAKE TWO CHANGES,
IN SCHOOL BOOKS
COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION
IN SESSION TUESDAY MAKE
BUT TWO CHANGES IN
BOOKS NOW USED.
Tuesday all day the thirteen mem

Tuesday all day the thirteen mem
bers of the county board of educa-
ton were in session to make the Sc
lection of school books for schools
of the county. In the morning some
time was spent as to the membership
of the board, particularly in refer
ence to the representation of the
city of Mitchell on the board. The APP
plications of the extra members from
the city were finally rejected when
the states attorney held that they
would be legally entitled to act with
the board. although the members
personally would have been glad to
have their assistance in the work of
the day.
There we're twelve bids submitted
by the various school book concerns
tives were on the ground to look af-
ter their individual interests.
The only changes made were in
the readers and the history of South
Dakota. The Baldwin e. Bender read
Ier, turned out by the American Book
Co, was adopted in place Of Stepping
Stones reader, formerly used in the
schools. The History of South Da-
kota as revised by r. l.. Ransom, of
the Educator School Supply Co.. of
this city, was adopted. MI. Ransom
has been at work on revision of the
states history and has covered the
ground quite thoroughly in all the
features of the state, and is regarded
as a very authentic history of the
state right up to date. The book will
be supplied by the Educator School
Supply Co.
