Olt LVtt
 Tn no time my three compan- ions, Levin, Peterson, Chisholm and our three pack dogs, Katmai, Mageik and Wolf, were all blown off their feet in swirls of snow. The wind picked up the snow and ice crystals and drove them at us with a force that made them cut like glass. There was no shelter, so Levin managed to get small tent tarp out of the pack sack and by sheer weight forced it down into the snow by lying on it. The rest of us crawled in and even the terror stricken dogs tried to get out of the stinging blast in that crowded space where we re- mained flat on our faces for oyer an hour. When a momentary lull came We started back down the mountain. Fortunately the gale was blowing in the direction of camp; so, sliding, floundering and tumbling along, iced up like so many Santa Clauses, every move brought us down closer to sea level, where at least the tempera- lure was higher. Shishaldin took Its toll on our strength that time
 Battle storm
 Tt was later on the third of July that in a third attempt we successfully climbed through a few minor storms and thawed our clothes out by sitting on the hot steaming lava that completely plugs up the top of this great torch of the Boring Professor Chisholms duties necessitated his return to San Francisco after the Shishaldin climb Peterson. Le- win and a new member. George Getty, then accompanied me tc Akutan Island further down in the Aleutians, where we had the most gratifying trip Of the summer. Oy- grooming the few storms that be- set us we were finally blessed with two days of perfect weather and gained the top of the great Akutan crater. This remarkable volcano is the largest crater thus far reported in the Aleutian Is- lands. It is larger than the widely known Katmai crater, and very similar to huge Aniakchak We descended to the bottom of the crater and inside it's spacious depths we found many volcanic wonders. Two or three dozen areas were bulging out and emitting great clouds of steam, vividly col ored sulphur streaks were send ing out their noxious gases, and most beautiful of all was lake of boiling water, hot enough tc cook our canned food set in one corner of the crater.

BALTIMORE BOARD
SEEKS new POWERS
Commission on City Plan Backs
Ordinance for Control of
Realty Developments.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE. September 23.-An
ordinance giving the Commission on
City Plan definite powers, including
that to compel developers to conform
to cit grades and State plans. is being
prepa.ed in the law department for in
PRODUCTION in the City Council when
that body reconvenes next month.
The measure would make the CITY,
planning body an active unit in the
municipal government, with broad
powers to regulate the development of
the city along lines worked out by the
commission.
. For some years the lack of effective
powers to compel developers to plan
new sections in accord with the city's
layout has been looked upon as a SER
ious handicap to the program of
the planning body Something has
been accomplished through persuading
the developers to conform to grades and
street lines. but there have been many
instances when new sections were de-
veloped and home owners later found
that their lots were below or far above
the street when the city took over the
privately laid out thoroughfares and
altered them to conform to city grades.

to the recommendation Of the Com
mittee on Economic Policy Of the
United States Building and Loan

subdivision lots, which are frequently
never used, because when the time
for building comes, it is found advis-

Instead Trey should be encouraged to
save the down-payment in a savings

thrift essential to the orderly repay

The committee recommends that
every State should have a savings ana

and distinct from every other financial

department should have as part of its

AUGUST BUILDING
INCREASES 28 PCT.
Dodge Figures Reveal Gain
Over July in States East
of Rockies.

Construction contracts in the 81
States east of the Rocky Mountains to-
tailed $lO6,13l 900 during August, ac-
cording to the F w. Dodge Corporation
of New York. This was gain of about
% per cent over July and was the
largest monthly total thus far reported
for 1888. For the first eight months
of 1888 contracts totaled $500, 1887 900,
as against 1929, 500 for the corre-
spending period of 1882.
The gain in contracts over July was
entirely due to increased activity in
public works and public utilities. For
the former the August total was some
what more than twice as large as the
July figure: for the latter. August
awards were almost five times as large
as in July. Public works contracts were
considerably smaller, however, than in
August, 1882. but public utilities awards
were more than twice as large as those
recorded in August last year.
Residences Decline.
Residential awards in August showed
a total of S2l ,937 900 as against $23,-
63O,400 for July and $20,766,800 for
August, 1882. For the year to date
residential contracts totaled Sl58, 725,-
600 as against S203 205 500 in the cor
responding eight months of 1892.
Publicly financed construction con-
tracts of all types let during August
showed good gain over July, but were
still measurably lower in volume than
in August of last year. Privately
financed construction awards of all de-
scriptions let during August showed a
decline from July but were still above
a year ago.
Gains in residential building alone
over year ago were reported in New
England, the Southeast. the Central
Northwest. Southern Michigan. the st.
Louis district, the Kansas City terri
tory and in Texas. movements in
non-residential building over August,
1882, was shown in metropolitan New
York, the Pittsburgh area. the South
east, Southern Michigan. the st. Louis
district and the New Orleans territory.
Public Works Large.
Contracts of all descriptions during
the final four months of 1888 will
probably range between S400 0C0. 900 and
$3.50, ,009, 600 for the 81 Eastern States"
states the Dodge Corporation. "Of this
indicated total more than go per cent
appears as the probable volume Of pub
liclv financed work.
The full years construction contract
total now appears to range between
81 900, 100000 and 81 LOO ,000,0 900 for the
81 States. During the year 1882 a
contract total of sl,35l .158,700 was re-
ported for the 81 Eastern States

 The U. s. Agriculture Depart ment said: "A mildly optimistic sentiment has been noted recently in the Boston wool market. While current trading in wool Is slow. sentiment has improved as a result of reports that the goods market is showing a better tone. A broad CT inquiry for wool by manufactur- CTS tends to strengthen further confidence in raw wool prices.
