Birth Of a Year Of What?

With the birth of the year the question will natur
ally arise, what will it bring us?"
Will it be peace or war? Will il be plenty, want?
No being that question today though
some may make ludcrous bluff at doing so.
At no time in the life Of the present generation has the
birth of year been aught with much uncertainty
with regard world in general and country in
particular.
We all hope and pray that the end and that the
world may return semblance of sanity and CONNER
cia stability But there is certanty-only an intense
longing for something that is not.
We are pnning our faith the ability of country to
keep from foreign enangemens but again there is no
certainty-ony abiding faith that be founded upon
the phantasies of our dreams.
We are looking and longing for the day to when
men will butcher another and return to the more
humanzng pursuits of peaceful e But our longing re-
suits only looking and longing There is no peace
We anticipate of great commercial prosperity Tor
the people of country and 1t will be theirs II no un
foreseen combination of incidents overtun the tranquility OF
the nation But in this too there is an if and the II is
not of our making
We are promised year of unexampled activity among
the factories and in the fields and in all the of trade
but much of will depend upon the actions of other nations
than And we are today government and people
without friends among other peoples of the earth
We have grown and expanded and developed until we
are the richest Of all the countries of the world and yet our
great wealth today actual and Sc
curt of the future for the nation that hungry for gold
will be choice in its mode of attack when the time Tor
invasion
But let us face the future with optimism and faith with
eyes open every essential fact and with firm determine
ton to and conquer in the face of all obstacles
Let US dare to be just and right in all of dealings
with nations and individuals and when sanity returns
to the world will reap We have Sown
Let up put house in order by placing the coun
try in of defense sufficient to insure us from attack
from without and then let give the world to understand
that just and righteous people, that we seek to do
no harm to collection OF and that we have
nothing in our but good will toward all people,
The new year will bring something. but what that
something is to be- will depend greatly the course we
ourselves pursue.
Never in the history of country has it been put more
plainly and emphaticaly and squarely up to u.s.

BIG DUST CLOUD IN ALASKA
Volcanic Ashes From katmaI Delayed
Progress Of steamer-ExploSlon
Heard Affair."

AS we approach Kodiak, strange
dark clouds were seen obscuring the
horizon at several points and one 30
heavy and black that II resembled
smoke from a great forest IRE. Cap
tain Jensen startled US by explaining
that this was dust blown by the stih
breeze from the lofty hills all about
us. These hills seemed covered with
snow, but the whitish deposits proved
to be ashes, rained down several feet
deep upon all this section during the
eruption OF Mount Katmai In June.
1912. Katmai is still smoking.
The sun looked like q dull silver
dollar as It shone through the ashy
mist. The dust cloud was 80 thick
that It held our steamer up for four
hours until the way was clear. Pass
ing your hand over the rail Of the
boat you found your fingers streaked
with the impalpable gray powder.
When we landed at Kodiak we found
piles Of soft gray ashes and large
and small pieces OF light, friable
stone, like .pumice stone. which had
been thrown out by the volcano.
United States Marshal FIR. Bren'
herman Of Valdez, who was q fellow
passenger with me, says the explosion
of the volcano was heard at that
place, 400 miles away from Kodiak
