the simple dignity that attend the
passing of a private citizen was OBJ
served. But the American nation and
foreign governments sent representa- =
tives, as did the state and city in
which he was born.
In the pews were among the fore
most of the country's citizens, Vice
President Marshall, representing the
president; General Pelton c. March.

CORDOVA, Sept. 5.-Completion of projected automobile road of Is miles up the beds of painted streams" is expected to open to tour ists from all parts of the world the valley of Ten Thousand Smokes, in the Mount katmai region of Alaska. about so miles north of Kodiak Isl and
 Enterprisng motion picture produ cers, following scientific expeditions into the strange valley, have re turned here with films of the myriad smokes" and with reports of short CT and easier route into the district
 When the Katmai volcano erupteC. 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 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, caverns in the solidifed volcanic clay. The entire valley, which is shaped some what like a clover leaf, seems to be gradually solidifyingy The Indian who recently guided a motion picture party said many square miles, GOV cred with semi-liquid hot mud year ago, are now crossed without diff ficulty. A- In one of the three arms of the val ley is a Tive" glacier, at the foot lake of hot water. Tn another arm is the Falling Mountain, down whose face roll continually huge boulders broken off near the snow-capped peaks by variations 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 possibilities of gold.
 The atmosphere resulting from the unique association of steam, hot mud and the eternal snows which ring the valley is reported remarkably brac- ing. There is no wood in the valley but visitors have easily cooked beans, meats, and even baked bread by lowering cooking vessels into the steam holes.
