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 "blowof' was
in June, 1912.
The party of twenty-six 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 1918 Professor Griggs headed a
party Of scientists to Katmai and re-
turned with the announcement that
the crater was the largest on the globe
and that neal Katmai lay a great
valley whose floor was dotted with
thousands of mouths vomiting gray
vapory gas and smoke. This valley
Prof. Griggs named 1.-THE Valley of
Ten Thousand Smokes" Instead of
10000, it is said there are literally
millions of smoking vents.
Congress recently set aside "The
Valley Of Ten Thousand Smokes" as
national property, and it is believed
that some day it will be a second yell
lowstone geyser field. Steaming
spAngs, it is said, will eventually take
the place Of the present smoking
vents.
Professor Griggs and his party ex-
pected to remain in the Katmai dis
trict until the middle Of September.
Until they return nothing probably
will be heard from them, as there is
no direct means of communication,
Mrs. Griggs and her children accom-.
panied the professor to Kodiak, an
island near Katmai, and will remain
there during the summer waiting FOX
him to return.
Moving pictures Of the smoking
mountain and valley are to be brought
back by the party.

criminal Another group contends that the breaking of a promise made under
duress is justfable.
Then there is a utltarian school of thought maintaining that the bargain
ought to have been carried out implicitly because the impairment of our
reputation with the bandits for good faith may embarrass future negotiations
to ransom III citizens.
Inc Mexican borders contribution to the controversy was that General
Dckman was seeking ways and means to pay the remainder of the ransom
to the bandits.
The sportsman, who has a nice sense of honor in disputed questions Of
this kind will unhestatingly say that General Dickman is right.
