Unalaska had a ven severe
earthquake shock a few weeks tigo.
Those who passed through both say
this shock was fully as severe as
any of those that destroyed San
Francisco.
Alt. Akutan, a volcano on an
island of the same name a few
miles this side of Unalaska was in
eruption, as the Dora passed by in
the very early morning of Feb. 22.
Notwithstanding the early hour, 2,
a. m., nearly every officer, passen
gers and members of the crfew got
up to see the magnificent sight.
This volcano has been inactive for
some years past, and the sight of
the flames rolling out of the peak
was quite a surprise to those who
saw it,
From Prof. Georgesoii.
Regarding the press reports re
ceived in January stating that the
Rampart agricultural station had a
setback because there was no com
petent man iri charge, Prof.
Georgeson writes that the state
ment was an error. Fred E. Ra
der, superintendent of the Ram
part station, is as competent as
any man in the service. The re
port should have read “Prior to
Mr. Ra ler’s taking the place there
wasmo competent man in charge.”
Believing there is a future in the
unexplored country bordering on
the Kuskokwin River in Alaska,
Capt. Omar J. Humphrey, presi
dent of the Alaska Coast Company

for the river ports of Quinhagah
and Bethel
