MYSTERY CAVE
 AT MT. KATMA| IS DESCRIBED

A mysterious cave covered by q Yoc,, which may lead to q hollow mountain" and valuable relics of by- gone ages within the shadow of Mount Katami is told of by s. M. Malachoff, who acts as messenger for the Juneau United States cable office.
 Malachoff was born at Kenai. His father was M. s. Malachoff, general agent for the old Alaska Commercial Company, and his grandfather was a Russian trader in Alaska in early days.
 The present Malachoff was l6 years old when he resided at Katmai, at the base of the volcano which made a world record for erupting ashes. He was sent on an errand by his uncle, Adair Alock, another Russian trader, to Cold Bay.
 At that time there were no whites on Cook inlet or at Cold bay, other than few Russian traders. Whii" Malachoff was waiting an Indian boy about his own age told him of a "medi ,ine" which the natives used for rhcu- matism, and showed him tie place from which it was taken. It was noth- ing more than the seepage of crude 1i which caused the recent stampe ie to Cold Bay when the leasing bill was signed. Malachoff took some of the oil to his uncle, and later showed 1t to Capt. A. E. Lathrop, who was oper- ating a ferry on Cook inlet, and the latter at one time talked of fitting out an expedition and making a further investigation.
 Like all young fellows of that day, young Malachoff made excursions to distant points, sometimes alone m hiS canoe, and sometimes accompanied by 8 native lad.
 On one of these excursions a native boy told him he would show him some thing. He approached bluff about 600 yards from the beach and rolled aside stone and exposed to view srbterranean cavern. The voices when sent in echoed and re-echoed, and gave MalachoH the impression that the whole mountain was hollow inside. Being in close proximity to the volcano of Mount aKtmai, 1t is possible that underground cavc:2s had been formed.
 The two boys did not attempt to crawl inside to investigate, and the occurrence, with other events crowd ire almost passed from the mind Of his boyhood experiences, and he had his nearer could not help but wonder what might be inside of the cave which the natives seemed careful to try and hide from sight.

A Suggestion.

III you live in or near q large city,
stand for few minutes in front of
one of the great railway stations be-
tween seven and nine o'clock in the
morning, or between five and seven
O'Clock AT night, and watch the crowd
pouring in or out. Go to the heart of
the shopping sections in the middle
OF the day and observe the tide of
people that flows and eddics about the
great department stores and sometimes
fills the streets from curb to curb.
When you have fixed the picture
so firmly in your mind that even with
your eyes closed you can see your fell
low creatures as bees in swarm
pushing, crawling, ceaselcssly moving
over and upon and against one an
| other, ask yourself how many of them
all actually produce one tenth or one
one-hundredth of the food that they
eat.
Everything that goeth in at the
mouth OF a man must come, directly
or indirectly, from the soil, and by the
work OF human hands. When YOU
have made your mental picture Of the
people in the city who evroct TO be
fed, and another mental picture OF the
number Of farmers who are expected
to feed them, you will know one reason
why food is scarce and high, and you
will also have had hint Of what you
can do to improve conditions.
