ERUPTIONS FOR
THE SCIENTISTS

the Katmai country, they said they be.
lieved there was little likelihood of an
eruption this summer and declared
they were certain there was absolutely
no danger attached to the investiga-
ton. Katmai's last big "blowoff" was
in June, 1912.
The party Of twenty-slx scientists. Is
headed by Professor Robert A. Griggs
of the University Of Ohio, and some
are from Carnegie institute. They
were planning to make observations
of the botanical, biological and geo
logical effects Of the 1912 eruption.
In 1913 Professor Griggs headed .
party Of scientists to Katmai and re-
turned with the announcement thar
the crater was the largest on the globe
and that near Katmai lay grea'
valley whose floor was dotted with
thousands Of mouths vomiting gray
vapory gas and smoke. This valley
Prof. Griggs named "The Valley OF
Ten Thousand Smokes" Instead OF
10000, 1t Is said there are literally
millions Of smoking vents.

TREE PUZZLE TO FoRESTERS
Caused Speculation Among Men
Learned In That Lore.

A cross section of a great old spruce
tree from Alaska tells the story of
tree which executed spin. like bal
let dancer. This cross section shows
q most peculiar spiral structure, which
has caused great deal of speculation
among the various foresters through
out the country and very interesting
explanation Is advanced in American
Forestry.
1t Is known that tree growing at a
slant forms on the lower side of the
trunk dense reddish wood known as
"rOtholz." This spiral In this case Is
Of such sort, and ms 1t Is continuous
formation, winding from the center to
within half an inch from the circum'
ference. 1t Is surmised that 1t was
growing In an inclined position on the
edge Of q glacier. where by some
shifting 1t was caused to rotate, SO
that all sides Of the tree were success
siveiy on the downward side. Thus,
as the tree grew. and its rotation con-
tinued slowly. the 'rotholz" developed
into a spiral.

LAWMAKERS PLAN
TO FINISH CAPITOL
BILL CALLS FOR APPROPRIATION
OF Se00,oo0 FOR BUILDING
PURPOSES.
Blue Sky Law Cause Of Debate in the
House, While County Division
Measures Take Up Much
Time.

BOlse-ldahO proposes to complete
Its handsome new capitol. The plan TO
do so was launched on February Z
in the legislature in the form of a
bill fathered by the appropriation.
state affairs and judiciary committee
Of the house calling for an appropria-
ton of 100000 to build the two big
wings of the main section now occu-
pied. The city of Boise has worked
out civic center plan by which the
approaches to the big building will be
cleared.
County division again doomed on the
legislature horizon on February Z. The
house heatedly debated the measure
to annex part of Bingham to Bonnie
vile county and then defeated the bill
on close vote. The senate wrestled
with the house bill creating Caribou
county, finally attaching an enabling
clause to it to put it up to the people
in that portion of BannOck county. The
opposition to the jerome county divi-
sion measure that is now with the gov
ernOr addressed an open cOmmunica-
| ton TO him urging meeting with the
people in that portion of Minidoka
| wishing to be included in Jerome, be-
fore signing the bill.
The blue sky" law proposed by Hall
of Oneida was also the subject of a
| long debate in the house. 1t proposes
that all agricultural enterprises fur
nish the state with bond as a guar
antee that the money that they collect
will go into the enterprise advocated.
| Hall declared that the people We're
| entitled to this protection, having been
buncoed for so many years by wild
cat" promoters. The house recon-
mended the bill for passage.
Every school district in the state
will throw open its books to an ex-
pert accountant at least once in four

The new congress met at Washington
last Monday under call of President
Wilson for an extra session. For the
first time since 1911 the Republicans
have majority in both houses Of con-
gress and can enact such legislation as
that party fsyors, if all Republicans
stand together. But the veto power
of President Wilson is to be reccned
with, as it takes two-lh.rd vote to
pass any measure over the Presidents
veto. While the Democrats held a
majority in senate and house the Re-
pubicsns were protesting favor for re-
turning public utilities to their owners,
they were processing opposition to eX-
travagancies. by the Government in all
departments, and favor for a number
cf other things which meet strong favor

cratic and Republican alike. Every

to see the Government turn loose the

and other public utilities, because ey-
