VISITORS TO MOUNT KATMAI
WILL ENCOUNTER GREAT RISK
A dispatch from Kodiak. Alaska, says
th..’ ricent vims > Katmai volcano, which
lias SO miles norti: of that place, have con
vinced those in a ng the trip that it will
he some time bt tore the world s greatest
volcano will bo 1: ted as a regular exhibit
for tourists. The situation around the cra
ter is a little (tit. realistic and fraught with
danger.
Mud flows, una-.nouncc 1 floods of fright
ful pro:tortious, and Idles, and occasional
cu.-ts of gas ate -oustan'.l.v occurring, and
there etottps .if cr -.tors surrounding the king
of all modern cri ers take turns at steam
ing.
Katmai is of tl.e explosive type of crater,
end presents fe.v of the characteristics
shown by the Hawaiian volcanoes, there be
ing no lava in si: lit. The original eruption
w:.s a scries of c: inon like reports by which
>o vast a. mass < f matter was hurled sky
ward that the a mnsphere over the whole
surface of the earth was affected. This
material was hurled out in the form of
t a -filled pumice lighter than water.
An idea of the extent of the eruption in
dwtslices is gained by the following; eon:
i arison: Had the eruption occurred in the
Imp district if Chicago the whole city
would have been buried under from 15 to 25
f.-.t of ash. am it would have been six
months before anyone could approach nearer
than Evanston.
There would have been a foot of ashes at
Springfield, I I.. rod an inch at Cairo, while
the explosions v otiltl have been heard in
New York and Philadelphia, and tine dust
and fumes would have been noted in New
Orleans.

oral or, was so filled with ashes by the
original eruption that a vast lake was
formed in the upper reaches of the stream,
hast spring this dam broke and precipitated
Hood so vast that the high w'ater mark
shows it to have been fifteen feet deep
where the valley is five miles wide. The
remaining deposit of water-soaked pumice,
many feet in depth, actually is flowing sea
ward as a mass with a slow, glacier-like mo
tion. It is like quicksand, and dangerous
to cross. Cold bay, twenty-five miles south
of the crater, has been filled for several
mdes out from the original shore line by
pumice brought down by the streams.
Among the phenomena noted as a result
of the eruption is that pumice dust blow
ing from the sunny side of the slopes in 'he
spring has covered snowdrifts remaining on
the north slopes so deep as to keep it from
melting all summer. Thus layers of snow
and pumice are accumulating in the north
ern valleys, which may remain for ages.
The shar" pumice particles blown about
by the wind cut weird designs in the dead
trees and brush, and have actually cut away
vne.ll twigs.
The natives who escaped from Katmai
bay during the great eruption never re
turned, having been provided with a new
town further westward. The Kodiak na
tives. however, declare Katmai to be “safe
so long as he smoke.” Scientists support
this native logic by stating that volcanoes
of this sort only erupt when a slide covers
up the vent and pressure becomes sulli
cientlv strong to cause an explosion.

HER HOBBY
In the placer camps located at points re
mote from the centers of population there
is little relaxation for the miners after their
dav's work is done, and they frequently in
dulge in more or less profound discussions j
to while away the time between supper and i
bed time. The subjects cover a wide range.
The war is, of course, the favorite topic,
but politics, religion, literature and the arts
are not slighted. One day recently at the
Summit mine the crowd about the mess
house door after supper were learnedly uis
cussing the rather unusual subject of pre
natal influences. It was brought out that
mothers frequently predestine their children
to lives devoted to art, to religion, even to j
politics and finance, by their mental atti
tude during pregnancy. Instances were
cited where artistic natures were alleged to
have thus been “wished on” their offspring
by devoted mothers, and it was claimed
! that frequently the hobbies of the maternal
progenitor had been transmitted to the off
I --pring.
i Jerry Baker, the well-known old-timer,
; had been listening intently to the conversa
tion. evidently being deeply impressed, and
heretofore, contrary to his usual custom,
had taken no part, in the discussion. "Well.”
1 he said fina'ly. “it all sounds reasonable
i'.ncuuh. But if it’s true my dear old
mother—God bless her!—must have had a
hobbv for using the pick and shovel.”

HORRIBLE DETAILS GIVEN
OF UTILIZATION OF BODIES
OF DEAD GERMAN SOLDIERS
Were the following grewsomc story told
in some sensational newspaper it would he
given little credence. But it is credited to
Henry Watterson in the Louisville Courier
Journal, and is given in his words for what
it is worth. If true (and the horrible de
tails lend color to its credibility), it shows
the stress of the German empire as nothing
else could. Mr. Watterson says:
“The London Times published a few days
ago the story that the Germa ndead are
stripped, bound in bundles of four with iron
wire, hauled to waiting railroad trains and
shipped to a reducing plant, where the fats
and oils are recovered for chemical uses,
including the making of explosives. The
bones are ground for fertilizer and pig feed.
To many persons the tale was incredible a
mere column of horror to entertain the idle
reader or vent British spleen against the
Germans.
“The Times now comes forward with a
more detailed story of the intensive treat
ment of the German soldier, to the end that
the empire may profit by using him after
he is killed as well as while he is alive. In
substantiation German papers are quoted,
and the story as it now appears seems as
well authenticated as any chronicle of al
leged facts could be. If it still is incredible
it is only because the minds of many iiersons
cannot adjust themselves to the reception of
the story that a civilized people would treat
the corpses of gallant soldiers as a mere
commodity to be employed as a measure of
national economy.
“American consuls formerly in Germany
are quoted by the Times as saying that the
Germans have been for some time making
nitroglycerin and obtaining the essentials of
other explosives from the corpses of soldiers
killed in battle. The German censors now
are permitting their press to report the
rendering of the corpses, as an example of
the high efficiency of Germany, the Times
says. Belgian newspapers have before
printed the news that the trains iaden with
bundles of corpses are dispatched to Gerol
stein, each car labeled D. A. \ . G.,' mean
ing ‘Deutsehem Abfall? Verwerttungsges
ellsxhaft.’ which, translated, is ‘The German
Offal Utilization Company, Limited.’ The
factory is situated 1.000 yards from a rail
road which connects with St. Vith, near
the Belgian frontier, with Gerohtein. The
site of the ulant is in a,forest m the little
frequented district of Eifel, southwest of
Coblentz. A spur leads to the factory, which
is surrounded by charged wires, and oper
ated by workers who are not permitted to
leave the place.
“The following account of the reception
and treatment of the bodies is given:
“ 'The factory deals especially with the
dead from the western front. If the results
are as good as the company hopes, another
will he established on the eastern front.
“ ‘The trains arrive full of bodies, which
are unloaded by workers who live at the
works. The men wear oilskin overalls and
masks with eye pieces, and are equipped
with 1 ng, hooked poles. They push the
bundles of bodies to an endless chain into a
lone narrow compartment, where they pass
through a bath which disinfects them. They
go on through a drying chamber and are
automatically carried to a great cauldron,
into which they : re dropped by an appar
atus which detaches them from the chain.
“ ‘They remain from six to eight hours
in the cauldron, where they are treated by
steam, which breaks them up while they
are slowly stirred by machinery. The fats
are broken into stearine, a form of tallow
and oils, which require to be redistilled be
fore they can be used. Distillation is car
ried out by boiling the oil with carbonate
of soda and some part of the by-products
resulting is used by the soap-makers. The
refined oil is sent out in small casks like
those used for petroleum, and is yellowish
brown.
“ ‘The fumes are exhausted from the
buildings by electric fans and are sucked
through a great pipe to the northeastern
corner, where they are condensed and the
refuse resulting is discharged into a sewer.
There is no high chimney, as the boiler and
furnaces are supplied with air by electric
fans.
“ ‘There is a laboratory, and in charge of
the works is a chief chemist with two as
sistants and seventy-eight men. All the
employes are soldiers attached to the Eighth
army corps. There is a sanatorium near the
works, and under no pretext is any man
permitted to leave. They are guarded a
prisoners at the appalling work.'
“Photographic fac similies of a news ar
ticle in the Lokal Anzeiger of Berlin are
presented by the Times to convince the in
credulous reader. The Lokal Anzeiger re
fers to the ‘corpse exploitation establish
ment,’ using the German term, ‘kadaverver
wertunbsanstall,’ and says:
“ ‘The fats here are turned into lubricat
ing oils and everything else is ground down
in the mill, the bones into powder, which
is used for mixing with pigs’ food and as
manure. Nothing can be permitted to go to
waste.’
“It is conceivable that barbarians who
could commit such atrocities as the Germans
have committed upon noncombatants in
enemy countries might balk at the horrors
of rendering their dead in a reduction plant,
but it is equally conceivable that a strict
interpretation of the teachings of Germany’s
school of imperialistic philosophers and mili
tary writers would make the economic dis
posal of the dead seem an act of high pa
triotism upon the part of the living, one
W'hich consecrates even the ashes of the
German soldier to the cause of his country.
General Von Bernhardi, it is imaginable,
would consider the concluding stanza of
‘The Bivouac of the Dead’ mere romantic
flubdub, exalting the warrior unduly and
placing his country in a false position as
his debtor, whereas the Prussian conception
of state-making is that the country is every
thing, and the human unit, military or civil,
is nothing. That the state is entitled to
‘the ashes of the brave,’ not as ‘war’s richest
spoil,' which Theodore O’Hara conceived it
as being, but as a commodity useful in the
prosecution of war, might be argued fluently
by any one among a score of German writ
ers who delight in emphasizing the unim
portance of anything but military conquest.
“Shipping corpses of soldiers to a render
ing plant may be revolting, but cannibalism
has been practiced by shipwrecked sailors
to whom it would have been revolting in
circumstances less uncompromising. And
that Germany, in her isolation and despera
tion, might turn even to cannibalism might
be conceivable to persons whose imagina
tions are less developed than that of Poe
in the conception of horrors'. Assuredly
the use of the dead soldier- or soldiers and
civilians—for making explosives and ferti
lizers—is not wholly incredible when he
consider the military teaching upon which
the foundations of the Prussian hegemony
rest, and upon which the inspiration which
I resulted in this war was fe,d.
“The German soldier who is used in the
battle line living, and in the rendering fat
dead, is so employed for the glory of the
kaiser, who agrees fully with the famous
French king who said, ‘I am the state.’
When part of Hans or Fritz is fed to the
pigs to make pork for the soldiers direct
cannibalism is avoided. When the rest of
him is employed in high explosives and he
is literally shot into the ranks of the enemy
from the mouth of a cannon, he is used for
Germany. Otherwise he might be buried in
a ditch to fertilize the fields which are be
ing reconquered by the allies for France.”

COURT ORDER* ISSUED
WHICH SHOWS INTENTION
TO ENFORCE PROHIBITION
If any resident of Alaska has been enter
taining a belief that the prohibition law,
which goes into effect on January 1 next in
Alaska, will be a dead letter, and that in
toxicants will be handled despite the law,
he is due to receive a surprise. An order
just issued by Judge Bunnell of the district
court shows that the authorities are awake
to the situation, and are preparing in ad
vance to meet the new conditions.
It will be unlawful after January 1 next
for anyone in Alaska to have intoxicating
liquors in their possession. Therefore the
authorities propose to procure information
as to who is likely to have them in his pos
session, and the quantity thereof. The fol
lowing is the order of Judge Bunnell, and
it is self-explanatory:
“Whereas, This court did, by order duly
made and entered on November 20, 1913,
direct that all persons holding or who should
thereafter secure licenses to .sell intoxicating
liquors in the Fourth division of Alaska shai!
make and keep in a proper book for that
purpose a written record of all sale? of in
toxicating liquors made by him, his agents
or servants, in bulk or by the bottle, to b
drunk off the premises, which record shell
show as to each transaction (1) the date
and hour of sale, (2) the person or persons
to whom sold, (31 the quantity of such
liquor sold, and the particular kind, mark
or brand thereof, 14) the price received
therefor, and (51 the name or initial of the
person selling the same, and that such record
shall hr available for inspection by all offi
cers or persons thereto authorized; and
“Whereas, It now appearing to the court
that said records of sales as'above and here
tofore described end set forth should be in
the custody of the court from and after
December 31, 1917 :
“It is therefore considered and ordered
that all persons holding or to hold liquor
licenses shall continue to make and keep in
a separate book a record of al! sales of in
toxieating liquors sold in bulk or by the
bottle, to be drunk off the premises, as here
tofore ordered by this court; anil it is
“Further ordered that ill holders of
liquor licenses shall turn over and deliver
to the United States marshal or hi? author
ized deputy the said record book so kept, at
the expiration of his license, and not later
than midnight on the 31st day of December,
1917, and that each said record book so
kept end delivered to the said United States
marshal or deputy marshal shall show all
sales of intoxicating liquor? as heretofore
ordered, for the period of not later than
from July 1, 1917, to the expiration of such
license, or to and including all sabs made
on December 31. 1917; and it is
“Further ordered that this order nr a
duly certified copy thereof shall be immedi
ately served, personally nr by mail, cn all
persons holding liquor licenses, by the
United States marshal, and each and every
person holding such license is hereby di
rected to answer to the said marshal, in
writing, which answer shall contain a state
ment as to his or their willingness to com
ply with the provisions of this order.
“And it is further ordered that the United
States marshal shall make due return to
this court of this order, and shall attach to
said return the original answers of the hold
ers of each liquor license,
“Done in open court this 13th day of

DAIRY AND FISH PRODUCTS
OF SOUTHEASTERN COAST
On her present trip to the westward the
steamship Dora stopped for the first time
at Simeanof, on the island of the same
name, and brought away a shipment of 1S2
barrels of salt herring, says the Seward
Gateway of May 11. Simeanof is the dairy
center of the Alaskan peninsula, there being
two dairy farms on the island, with a total
of about eighty cattle. There are also a
number of sheep and hogs. The butter
output of Simeanof is no small item in the
production of that part of Alaska. The day
the Dora was there a consignment of nearly
1,000 pounds was sent to Unga for distri
bution to the canneries. The herring-cur
ing plants at Simeanof will be increased
now that the Dora has made the place a
port of call. Prior to this it had been
claimed that the harbor there was unsafe
and ail cargoes had been handled by gas
boat and barge.
THE EDITOR GOT HIS
An Oklahoma editor tells of an old In
dian who came to his office to subscribe for
the paper. The editor took the money but
the Indian wanted a receipt. The editor
tried to talk him out of it, but the Indian
insisted on getting a receipt.
After making it out the editor wanted to
know why he was so persistent about want
ing a receipt.
The Indian said: “Me die some day. Go
to big gate. St. Peter ask if I been good
Indian. I say yes. He say. did you pay
editor for paper ? I say yes. He say, where
receipt? I no have it. I have to run all
over hell to find you and get receipt.”—Ex.

SOUTH AFRICAN GOLD MINING
NOT INTERRUPTED BY WAR
The gold-mining industry in South Africa
is almost the only one which has enjoyed
freedom from interruption owing to the war,
according to a Capetown dispatch. This
is -accounted for in a summary prepared
by the Transvaal Chamber of Commerce
as due to the “national importance and es
sential nature of the industry, both through
the necessity of its products to the imperial
government and the fact that its discon
tinuance would mean a chaotic condition of
affairs in South Africa.”
Since the beginning of the war South Af
rica has produced £100,000,000 sterling in
gold. Twenty per cent of the white em
p'oyes have voluntarily gone on active serv
ice, and the extra financial burdens im
posed by the war on the gold-mining in
dustry are estimated at £3,000,000 a year.
Dividends last year were about £1,000,000
less than in 1914, although the production
was £4,000,000 sterling greater.
BIG MARCONI STATION CLOSED
The Juneau offices of the Marconi Wire
less Company received orders from the com
pany office at Astoria on April 10 to dis
continue receiving commercial business. The
order did not come direct from the navy de
pnrtment. but from Seattle. The depart- I
mcnt took over the Astoria office, and as |
the Juneau office works through Ketchikan !
to Astoria with commercial business, it was !
forced to close down. W. J. Manahan stated !
that the office wiii be open for all ship busi
ness as formerly, for twenty-four hours a
day, or at least until Lieutenant Clark ar
rives from the South. Upon his arrival all
the Juneau wireless men will be sworn in
I as members of the naval reserve, and orders
for their future conduct will be issued. The j
Chichagoff station, owned by private par
ties, has been closed, but the Jualin and
Kcnsingston stations are still open for busi
ness, and will work with the Juneau office j
until further orders. The Ketchikan office
was also closed.

A WAIL FROM THE THIRD
(Seward Gateway, May 141
“Anything to get. the best of the Third di
vision seemed to be the motto at Juneau,”
said Senator John Ronan, who with Mrs.
Ronan and their children arrived on the
Northwestern from Juneau, where he has
been attending the legislature. “The Tiiird
division pays 771 ^ per cent of the taxes of
the territory, but the other divisions will
! use a largp share of the money.
“Each division gets an equal allowance
on the road fund, but the Third division
has to maintain the roads that lead to the j
Second and Fourth divisions and the great
est population and most of the mineral sec
tions promising permanent development in
the Third, with the First a close second. To
give each division an equal sum was unfair
on its face, but it was carried over our
heads.
“No territorial patriotism was shown, but
most of the representatives went to Juneau
ith the idea of grabbing all possible for
ineir locality regardless of whether or not
it is a temporary placer camp. I don’t ob
ject to any appropriation for the general I
good, but I do object to pork barrel meth
ods.”
