Scientists Enthuse Over Katmai

"The main crater of Katmai volcano IS one of the greatest in the world,' said Rob ert F. Griggs, who reached Kodiak August 21 after careful study of the great vol cano in the interests of the American Geo graphical Society. "This crater IS miles across and extends down thousands of feet to blue green lake, simmerlng and sput- tering at the bottom" This IS the first close examination by scientists that has been made of this volcano since the great erup- ton of June, 1912, when the top of the mountain was blown off and Kodiak island, across Shelkoff strait, was covered with a foot of volcano ash. The natives claim that the top of the high mountain was blown off, Mr. Griggs said, he found to be literally true. The walls of the crater were such that his party could stand on the rim and see sulphur patches and steam jets hlssng through crevices Revegetation IS beglnnng on the lower slopes of the mountain and the surrounding mainland after the almost total destruction of all vegetable life in the great eruption of 1912. MT. Griggs was en- thusiastic over the possibilities of scientific study of volcanoes afforded by katmai. He said no such opportunity for scientific re search was to be found elsewhere in the world.

PIONEER RUBY BUSINESS
 DISPOSED OF TO N. (, co.

Announcement was made recently at Far banks by Volney Richmond, superintendent of the Northern Commercial Company, that E. w. Griffin has closed out his Ruby store and that the stock he had on hand was taken over by the Northern Commercial Company.
 A couple of years ago MT. Griffin sold his Cinema store to the Northern Commercial Company, which has been conducting the business since that time.
 When the discovery at Ruby was made Mir. Griffin was among the stampeders, and established his store there, so that thls sale marks the passing of another pioneer estao- lishment.
 The Ruby Record-Citizen of September } says;
 Tt will be a matter of great interest to Ruby and the neighboring camps to know that the Ruby Commercial Company has discontinued This Is one of the oldest institutions in the camp, having been estab, Eshed in 1911. It has always done an ex- tensive business.
 However both partners, Al Birnbaum and E. w. Griffin, having decided to go Outside, they sold all their stock, store buildings and warehouses to the Northern Commercial Company As soon as all ne gotiations are concluded they will leave
 Both men will be missed, Al Blrnbaum particularly, he having been very active Tn the commercial affairs of Ruby. He IS nrominent member of Igloo No. ), Pioneers of Alaska"

Blame TraQedies to Drink

It takes more than time and the elements to kill men on Imnechuck river, which runs into Good Hope bay, branch of kotzebue sound, Alaska, according to II. L. Stull, a mining man of Deering. Even the natives are increasing in number But five men have passed away in the fourteen years of his residence Mir Stull told Seattle Post Intelligencer reporter, and their deaths have been due to drink. Two were intoxicated and frozen, two drank too much and were drowned, and the fifth fell prey to too much liquor Ninety per cent of the deaths in Alaska ascribed to the elements result directly or indirectly from drink, !"

WILSON'S ELECTION CERTAIN
 ACCORDING TO MR. LOSLIN

"U1less some very unusual or unforeseen obstacle arises, President Wilson IS practI- cally assured of reelection, sald Falcon Jos lin to a Fairbanks News Miner reporter. on his return to that city on August 2S, after having been Outside for the greater part of the past year There Is no question, he continued that the United States Is enjoying the greatest wave of prosperity ever known. and, while some antl-Whson men are trying to tell the pubic that It is simply due to unusual conditions, the worknemen are not going behind the cur tain to look for the reason being satisfied that they have plenty of work at good wages
 In coming west Mir Jos,in travelled through Pennsylvania for the width ot the state. During his hours in the smoking car he had met many PennsylvanlanS and was greatly surprised that practically all of them were for the Wilson administration.
 In the Middle West. in that country which is supported by the prosperous and we'll read farmers, Wilson is especially strong for having kept the country out of war. The farmers have been getting top prlceS tor their products, also, and they are not go ing to take any chance on changing condl- tions. Mr JosIin says
 in the West President Wilson is strong, too in the railroad mans opinion And while the chief executive Is very strong in places, Hughes is not particularly popular at any Ilace
 Business along the Pacific coast is fairly good, CT was just before MT. Joslin started for the North, but it is nothing to compare with the East Regarding Alaska and the presidential election. Mr. Joslin can see no reason why Alaskans should want any change, The present administration has shown itself par ticularly friendly to the North, and there is no particular guarantee that the next ad- mnistration will be so we'll disposed.
 MT. JoSlin goes so far as to say that there is a possibility that q Republican admins tration would not push the railroad con. struction farther than the Matanuska coal fields, while it is certain that President Wll- sen. if reelected, will see that it comes through to Fairbanks,
