OPENS WONDER PLACE
Automobile Road to Span Ten
Thousand Smokes.
VIII Give Tourists Access to Territory
Where Nature Freaks
Are Seen.

Cordova, Alaska.-Completion Of d
projected automobile road of IS miles
up the beds Of painted streams" is
expected to open to tourists from all
parts Of the world the valley of Ten
Thousand Smokes, in the Mount Kat
mai region Of Alaska, about eighty
miles north of Kodiak island.
Enterprising motion picture produc-
ers, following scientific expeditions In
to the strange valley, have returned
here with films of the myriad Smokes
and with reports of a shorter and cas-
Ter route into the district.
When the Katmai volcano erupted
in 1912 and covered thousands Of
square miles with ash and pumice,
killing all vegetation and game and
wiping out more than one settlement,
it was regarded as q great calamity.
But the eruption uncovered a strange
formation which Is declared to be one
Of the wonders of the world.
The Smokes" literally thousands Of
them, are clouds or jets Of steam under
various pressures, emitted from holes
and remarkably colored cayerns in the
solidified volcanic clay. The entire val
ley, which is shaped somewhat like a
clover leaf, seems to be gradually So
1~idifying. The Indian who recently
guided a motion picture party said
many square miles, covered with semi
liquid hot mud a year ago, are now
crossed without difficulty.
In one of the three arms of the wax
ley Is a "live'' glacier, at the foot OF
which Is a beautiful cobalt-blue lake
of hot water. In another arm is the
Falling mountain, down whose face
roll continually huge boulders broken
off near the snow-capped peaks by va
riations of temperature.
Besides the scenic possibilities the
valley Is said to possess vast deposits
Of virtually pure sulphur, arsenic and
other chemicals. Black sand was found
in the many streams indicating posi-
bilities of gold.
