Ashes From Mt.
Veniaminof Cover
20 Mile Radius
PERRYVILLE, June 1 </P) —
Erupting Mount Veniaminof shot
flames, smoke, and ashes sky
ward in a spectacular display.
Coast Guard officials reported
that a change in the wind would
create a dangerous situation, as;
most of the residents are away |
for the fishing season. However, j
the Cutter Morris is standing by \
to give aid if necessary.
The Morris arrived yesterday.
Captain Stanley Parker of the
Bering Sea Patrol wired this re
port: “Veniaminof in constant
eruption sending ashes at least
20,000 feet in the air. Flames rise
to great heights, possibly 1500
feet. Perryville is not in danger.
The volcano became active on
May 23»rd and now has two dis
tinct craters, both belching flam
es.
“The eruption has covered the
country side with ashes averag
ing from one to two inches thick
over a radius of 20 miles. The
Morris detected volcanic dust 100
miles at sea, while enroute from
Bristol Bay.”
Don’t forget to leave your nam*

COCKTAIL BAR LICENSE
LAW IS EXPLAINED
(From Fairbanks News-Miner)
Inquiries at the office of the
clerk of the U. S. district court
regarding the licenses for “cock
tail bars,” authorized by the last
legislature, continues to be per
sistent, John B. Hall, the clerk,
said.
“The bill goes into effect June
9,” Mr. Hall declared. “If an ap
plicant applies for a cocktail bar
license between June 9 and June
30 in Fairbanks, he will be re
quired to pay the full $1000 lic
ense fee, but if he waits and ap
plies for his license to take ef
fect July 1, he will pay only for
a half-year license, from July 1
to December 31.
“Territorial liquor licenses are
issued for the calendar year, not
the fiscal year.
"For a cocktail bar outside of
any incorporated town under
1.500 population, the same rule
as the foregoing applies, only the
fee for the license is or.e-half, or
$500, for the license. Any licensee
holding a beverage dispensary li
cense at the present time in Fair
banks and desiring to change to
a cocktail bar license, effective
July 1, must submit a regular
application for the cocktail bar
license, which will be presented
to the city council, and, if ap
proved by the council, a cocktail
bar license will be issued by or
der of District Judge Harry
Pratt. The additional payment of
$361 is required, the licensee al
ready having received the bene
fit of onehialf of his Beverage Dis
pensary License that was issued
to him January 1, 1939, leaving
him a balance of $150 that is ap
plicable on his new cocktail bar
license.
“This $150 deducted from the
$500 for the half year license
leaves a balance of $350 to pay,
and the additional $11 is for the
filing and the order granting or
denying, with a refund of $3 to
the licensee if no protest is filed.
“Outside of Fairbanks, which
is the only town in this Divi
sion with more than 1,500 pop
ulation, where the license for an
entire year is $500 a licensee de,
siring to change to a cocktain bar
license the first of July, will be
required to submit a regular ap
plication and pay $111 for the
half year license. In all cases
where a cocktail bar license is
applied for, for cash or surety
bond in the amount of $2,500
must 'acootmpanry the application.
“The Beverage Dispensary Li
censes already issued are good
until December 31, 1939, but at
the end of this calendar year the
old Beverage Dispensary License
is superseded by the new cocktail
bar license and no liquor license
will be in effect for the sale of
only beer and wine by the
drink.”

The first radio beam station,
for the benefit of aircraft, is now
in operation in Ketchikan, accord
ing to Charles Burdick, Alaska
CCC director who arrived in Fair'
banks recently fom the southeast
ern part of the Territory.
In trying out the station,

Next on the program of the

the installation of a beam trans
mitter on Ralston Island near
Juneau. These first beams that
will be transmitted are to be of
the directional type and not to
be used for landings.
These first installations of ra
dio aids to flying are part of a
large program to have a complete
network of beam and communi
cation stations throughout the
territory. I. K. McWilliams, CAA
chief for Alaska and G. S. Mc
Kean, engineer for the Authority
are at the present time working
on plans for the extensive pro
ject that will get under way
when money is made available
by Congress.

Ice conditions along Nome’s
waterfront remain almost the
same as two days ago, one half
mile of shore ice which apparent
ly is grounded, persists in re
maining with us until the arriv
al of the first boat. However if a
1’ttle breeze comes up from the
south it will probably produce
enough high water to float the
ice over the bars, thus clearing
j the Snake River harbor of ice.
| Considerable water is running
in the river now and is beginn
ing to eat its way out into the
sea ice at the mouth of the river.
The cold nights, however, seem
to keep in check the flood waters
so necessary at this time to force
its way out to sea. Anything may
!
| happen tho in two on* three days,
i which would change the situa
j tion.
