Creamery Product Increases
6,093,463 Pounds in Thirty
Days From July 1.
EGGS ALSO GAIN. FAST
Cheese Up 6,612,96O Pounds
Nearly Double Amount
Held Year Ago.

The monthly report OF cold storage
holdings in seventy-two storages In the
State, which has just been issued by the
State Division of Foods and Markets,
shows that on August 1 there were far
greater quantities Of butter eggs, pork,
lamb and mutton in the freezers than
on July 1. one month ago. The same
foodstuffs show larger amoufits in stor-
age than one year ago.
The greatest increase Is in the amount
Of butter. The storage of creamery
butter increased 6,o93,463 pounds in
thirty days. Storage OF American
cheese increased 6,612,e60 pounds. Egg
holdings increased 471,326 cases, or
14,139,7S0 dozen, in the same time. The
figures seemingly indicate fairly good
times on the farms.
Poultry of all kinds was less on Au-
gust 1 than July 1, 1919, but show in
creases over a year ago.
The holdings OF frozen beef were
5,317,311 pounds less than on August 1.
1918. Frozen pork holdings showed an
increase OF 4,3ss,744 pounds over a
year ago.
For Ash the increase over last month
Is more than 100000 pounds, but is
less than last year by 100000 pounds.

Senate Seek. Definition.

IL became evident during the execu-

mat the legislation asked to admit OF
a court penalizing persons guilty OF
charging unfair or unreasonable prices
should be accompanied by a definition of
the terms unfair and unreasonable.
Under the present Interpretation of
the proposed amendment II would be
iett to petit jury to decide what con-
sttuted such unfair or unreasonable
charges for the necessaries of life. and
this, the committee members made II
very evident. they have no intention OF
permitting to remain In the pending leg
islation. They will ask Mr.. Palmer to
draft definition of unfair or unrea-
sonable charges'' which shall be written
Into the statute.
The difficulties surrounding this prob
lem are admittedly numerous and en-
barrassing. 1t is thought by the enc.
mics of the proposed changes that
through thus demanding a definition
they will accomplish the debacle of the
price fixing movement. In this they
have the backing of the agriculturists OF

istration, cooperating with the War De-

movement of the surplus food stocks
was to have preference over other
freight But almost Immediately traf-
fic conditions became disturbed by the
calling of strikes on numerous roads.
As result the Railroad Administration
was forced to- order embargoes at many
shipping centres.
Embargo Placed on Freight.
IAN embargo was laid on freight
transported over the New York. New
Haven and Hartford Railroad, which
serves the reserve depot at South Sche-
nectady, and another was ordered be-
cause of the strike on freight from
Columbus, Ohio. Movement of freight
from New York was seriously hampered
and shortage of freight cars existed
at that point The shortage Of equip
ment delayed the loading of cars at the
points at which the surplus food was
stored, and embargoes and other inter-
ferences with transportation delayed the
movement OF food laden cars to their
destinations.
Practically all factors interfering
with the redistribution of the surplus
food stocks have now been removed, and
the greater part of the subsistence which
was ordered transferred has either ac-
tually reached It's destination or is en-
route.

Delay in flling parcel post orders for
surplus army food will be brief, accord
Ing to an official statement from the
War Department to-day. The depart
ment set forth that the unauthorized
strikes of railway workers seriously in
terfered with distribution of the army
food and that this was the reason many
postmasters were unable to fill orders.
The situation was explained as follows I:
The tieup in railroad transportation
occasioned by recent strikes on the part
of certain classes OF railway employees
has delayed the redistribution of the
surplus of foodstuffs which the War
Department directed to assure an edui-
table distribution of the food supplies to
all citizens Of the United States.

is what makes the geyser play.
Growth of a Geyser Basin.

| Now, the difference between the
Yellowstone geyser fields and Kat
mails steaming valleys is just a diff
| ference in temperature. The entire
depth of earth under these valleys is
| heated far above boiling point, so
that 1t Is not possible for water to re-
main In the vents; it turns to steam
as fast as it collects and PUSHES out
at the top in continuous flow. But
when centuries or hundreds of CEN
turtles enough elapse for the rocks be-
tween the surface and the deep inter-
nal pockets to cool, the water will re-
main In many vents as water until, at
regular intervals, enough steam gath
valleys will become basins of gey-
sers and hot springs like Yellow
stones
The crater of Katmai is very large.
Its circumference, says Robert F..
Griggs, who headed the expeditions
which explored the entire area, is S.4
miles, measured along the highest
point of the rim "The area is 46
miles. The precipitous abyss, which
does not extend to the rim of the
southwest side, is somewhat shorter,
measuring &c miles in length, 76
miles in circumference, and AZ
square miles in raea. The milky blue
lake at the bottom is IA miles long
and nine-tenths of a mile wide, with
an area of IL square miles The lit
tie crescent shaped island in the lake
measures 400 feet from point to point.
Theprecipice from the lake to the
highest point of the rim is 300 feet"
Mr.. Griggs estimates the capacity
of the hole at 450O00O.0OO cubic
yards. If this hole were filled with
water there would be enough to sup
ply New York city for 1886 days. The
great eruption blew out 1000 100000
cubic yards of material, more than 40
times the amount removed in the
construction of the Panama canal.

MOUNT kATMA|, ALASKA
A NATIONAL MONUMENT
BEGINNING OF A NEW GEYSER
FIELD SIMILAR TO VEL
LOWSToNE PARK.

At the end of September last Pres
ident Wilson created by proclamation
the katmai national monument This
reservation incloses what the explo.
slve eruption of June, 1912, left oil
Mount katmai, on the southern shore
or Alaska, together with several
neighborfng valleys of steaming vents
the largest of which the National &C.
Graphic society, which explored it in
June, 1917 named the Valley of Ten
Thousand Smokes"
The two features are intimately re-
lated. Rock strata superheated since
the great eruption underlie Katmai
near enough to the surface to turn to
instant steam the spring and drain
age waters of many a surrounding
mile of foothills. Thus originates the
steam which bursts from the myriad
valley vents. The phenomenon is ia
miliar in the neighborhood of most
volcanoes which still are cassed as
active. Steaming springs, later
stage of the vents in this valley, are
found upon the flanks of several of
the most prominent of our Cascade
volcanoes, and are numerous aorund
the base of Lassen peak
The comparison, however between
katmai's steaming valleys and the
geyser basins of Yellowstone is espe-
cially instructive because Yellow
stones basins once were what Kat
mails steaming valleys are now The
Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes" is
probably coming geyser field of
enormous size The explanation is
simple. Bunsen's geyser theory, now
generally accepted, presupposes

chamber in which trucking spring

steam When this steam becomes

RESOLUTIONS

Whereas, the great and supreme
Ruler of the Universe has, in His in
finite VISION, removed from among
us one of our worthy and esteemed
neighbors, Mrs. Luella Walker and
whereas, the long and intimate rela-
ton held with her in the faithful
discharge of her duties in this Soc
iety, makes it eminently BETTING
that we record our appreciation of
her. zee Therefore, be it resolved, That
thes udden removal of such a life
from among our midst leaves a vac
ancy aand a shadow that will be
