VALLEY OF TEN THOUSAND
 SMOKES NOW ACCESSIBLE

Through arrangements being made at Anchorage by Captain Nick Gai- kema, Morse seaman, and one of the few persons who have visited the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes, this marvellous volcanic region will be made accessible to hardy tourists next summer. Captain Gaikema has picked up trail that will admit of access to the region, including Mt. Katmai, in a distance of some 30 miles.
 The trail was laid out last sum- mer when Captain Gaikema pene- trated the valley with a view to scouting the region and selecting both route and headquarters for hardy tourists who wish to view the phenomena of thousands of fume- roles and smoking volcanoes. On the trip Captain Gaikema is said to have braved death thousand times in threading his way through the u I1t walked over lava bridges and cav erns when the sound of footseps on the thin covering echoed far below. At night he camped on mountain slopes where the rock was too warm for comfort, while icy winds bathed | his frame.
 In considering the Valley of the Ten Thousand Smokes, Captain Gaikema recommends it only to the most hardy tourists, those capable of carrying their blankets and provis- ions on their backs and climbing along a rough country where nature must be appealed to for shelter.
 During the summer, staunch gas- oline boats will be used between An chorage and Snug Bay, off the Kat mai volcano, whence adventurers will penetrate the valley afoot. - Cordova Times.

a motor launch to act tender to the yacht that he
