SEES 25 LARGE vOLCANOS
 IN WESTWARD FIELD
LANDED ON BoGoSLoF ISLAND, FOUND NEW STEAMING INNER
 CONE

DUTCH HARBOR, July g. (R- With the report of having seen 20 large volcanoes, Dr. T. A. Jaggar, Hawaiian volcanoligist of the United States Geological Survey, returned from cruise in the western Aleutian Islands to Atka on the Coast Guard cutter Unalga. Both Bogoslof and Garelot volcanos are active. He land ed on Bogoslof Island, where he found a new steaming inner cone of hot, rough lava surrounded by a rough shaped lagoon of warm salt water. Out side of this was a complete ring of gravel with beaches inside and outside and no open channel. Jaggar believes the new spell of intense ac- tivity started on Bogoslof closely re- sembles the 1906 eruption. Four hun- dred sea lions were found living on the beaches close to the active vol cano, and millions of sea birds nest ing in the cliffs and sandbanks. There is sulphurous steam but no noxious gases were encountered

LIE LAUR|Tz, PAINTER, .OF ANCHORAGE, ENDS
 HIS LIFE BY HANGING
ABSENCE OF APPARENT MOTIVE SHROUDS ACT IN MYSTERY;
 LEAVES WIFE AND BABIES

Lee Lauritz, painter, residing at An chorage, ended his life by suicide Thursday, according to reports from Anchorage last night Lauritz, when found, was hanging in his place of business with his knees drawn up, but with feet touching the floor
 The only circumstance that might have a bearing upon the case was the presence of native or half-breed al leged to have been under the influence of liquor at the Lauritz home early in the morning, according to Walter G. Culver, special agent for the Alaska Railroad. Mr. Culver reports that he was aroused at about 5 a. m. by a woman calling for help. When he ar vide at the Lauritz home he was told that the native had tried to get into the front door, but was ordered away. He then went to the back door, where Lauritz met him and ordered him to leave. On refusal Lauritz took down the telephone receiver to call the po- lice. The native is said to have torn off the screen door and then wrested the telephone from the wall. At that juncture Mrs. Lauritz screamed.
 About three years ago Lauritz' part ner, Bacon, committed suicide in the same manner.
 The deceased leaves a wife and two children.

TOTEM POLE AN ASSET

 It's gaudy and grotesque faces grin at Carl R. White, State Treasurer, who has placed it near his desk, be- couse nowhere else in the office is the ceiling high enough.
 The pole was purchased from h. dians in Alaska at the request of the Kansas State Historical Society. The friendly traveller who made the pur. chase expected the society to refund his $500 immediately, but he must wait until 1929, when the Legislature will be asked to make an appropria- tion for that purpose.

The best I can do to give an out line of what should be done along -hese lines," he said today in reply to The Gateway's request. 'is to refer to a conversation I had on this same subject a few years ago with Harry Chandler, publisher of the Los Angeles Times. He was discuss ing the feasibility of putting tourist boats on the run from Los Angeles to Seward for four summer months each year. He favored it strongly. He said to me, '"I investigated the situation, and found that the hotel accommodations would care for only 2 few hundred all together from Sew ard through to Fairbanks and that there were practically no automobile roads in the Kenai Peninsula, which is the particular part Of Alaska that offers the best scenic attractions for tourists. If the Alaska Railroad would build. or have somebody build, at least two big hotels, each capable of accommodating 800 or more guests, at desirable centers in the Interior of the Kenai Peninsula, and another near Mount Mckinley, and would see to it that 200 or more miles of auto mobile roads are built in the Kenai Peninsula, so that tourists would lave comfortable places to stay and scenic roads to travel over, we could send 10000, 15,OO0, or 10000 tourists uD to that country every summer, from Los Angeles county alone, with out half trying.
