Republicaus Issue nanuDooK
Washington, D. C.. Sept. 11—The
Republican campaign committee issued
a handbook today giving the legisla
tive record of the present congress and
party history for fifty years. It con
trasts existing prosperity with the
hard times the country experienced
under the Cleveland administration.
As an excuse for calling up this an
cient history the handbook says that
boys who were scarcely more than
babes in those times are now voters
and it is desired to bring their atten
tion facts which they do not know
from actual experience. It is claimed
that the financial, commercial and in
dustrial advancement of recent years
is clue to republican legislation and ad
ministration. The book states that
Cleveland left the country bankrupt
and that the republican party has re
stored prosperity.

HOW BOGOSLOF WAS BORN
Baranoff Describes Uplifting of Vol
canic Island in Aleutians
A New York Post correspondent is
“ghost dancing,” as he calls it. along
the Aleutian archipelago, and study
ing the volcanoes of that region. lie
resurrects from BaranolT, the Russian
trader of the eighteenth century, the
description of the uplifting of Bogos
lof island, near which two later vol
canic islands have been thrown up,
the last early in the present summer.
“On the 1st of May, 1790, a storm
aro>e near Umnak island and con
tinued for several days. It was very
dark all the time, and low noises re
sembling thunder were continually j
heard. On the third day the skv be
came clear very early, and a flame was !
seen arising from the sea between
Unalaska and Umnak. North of ^he
latter smoke was observed tor ten
days. At the end of this time, from j
Pnalaska a round white mass was seen
rising out of the sea. During the!
night tire arose in the same locality, j
so that objects ten miles otl' were dis- j
tinctlv visible. An earthquake shook |
I’nalaska, and was accompanied by j
fearful noises. Rocks were thrown
frolti the new volcano as far as Umnak.
With sunrise the noises ceased, the
tire diminished, ane the new island
was >een in the form of a black cone.
It was named after St. John the 1 heo |
logian Johanna Bogoslova. . . . ' j
Yet. mark, as late as 1883 a new
island arose in Bering sea, precisely
in the same manner, and only a few |
miles from Bogoslof. It is called
Grewingk.
Grewingk was a wise old Gorman
geographer, who about the middle oi
last century made an exhaustive study
of the Alaskan volcanic belt, without
visiting the region. Most accurate
knowledge of its craters is traceable to
him; but in no region of the world is
such knowledge more unreliable.
Grexvingk at least had the sense to
doubt that Mt. St. Klias was volcanic,
although it was assumed to he so by j
Americans who visited it. up to the;
early nineties, when Prof. Russell
pricked up the illusion and placed St.
Klias as a volcano among the great list
of geographic hoaxes, from the mythi
cal Mount Itazahn of biblical days to
Mounts Brown and Hooker, the mod
ern lb,000-foot fakes of the Canadian
Rockies. St. Klias was even stated to
have been afire in 1839 and 1847.
Grewingk names forty-one Alaskan
cones active within the previous 100
years.
The correspondent seems to approve
of the picturesqueness of “this archi
pelago of fog and surf and busy vol
canoes," of which he writes:
“Here are a thousand miles of snowy j
ash-cones and treeless bights, inces
santly in fog, pounded from the south
over uncharted reefs by the Pacific
ocean, which reaches almost unbroken
to the south pole; on the north by the
shallower, and so harsher swells of
Bering sea. Twelve to twenty-five
days each month rain or snow falls,
often more than 300 inches a year.
Only rare flashes of sunlight reveal
the purple lupine add pale poppy flow
ering on desolate volcanic ridges, sea
lions glistening on the shelves of out
lying Gibraltars—murres, red-throated
puffins. A tiny monthly steamer
sweeps the eastern half of these wild
shores, calling at about five harbors—
such names as Belkofsky, Unga, Uyak,
Chignik—small gold mines, salmon
canneries, Siwash trading posts, supply
stores for lone prospectors, generally
squawmen, who hope for wealth in
coal or sulphur, for all vessels sailing
by great circle to the Orient from our
north coast must sight these islands at
the exact middle of their voyage. And
our national laws, which in Alaska,
at least, are respected over into the
new day beyond the sunset, demand
that a miner must do a hundred dol-,
lars' worth of “development” each |
year to hold his claim. Once a year
a lighthouse tender visits the two new i
beacons on Unimak island, which is j
the most fire-blasted of them all, with j
t> three live volcanoes in a stretch of i
fifty miles, and so turbulent that for j
decades, it is said, no aborigines have j
lived there.
F. Aug. Heinze has got his fingers
into the copper mines of Bingham,
Utah, a famous silver camp, whose
silver lodes become copper after at
taining great depth.
RUSHING BRIDGE WORK
Watson & Snow Making Good Pro
gress on Railroad Trestles.
Bridge construction on the Alaska
Centrrl just beyond the end of the
track is proceeding rapidly. The
bridge contractors, Watson & Snow,
are likely to be held back by the grade
because of the difficulty of getting men
enough to push the rock work to the
utmost. The big trestle at the end of
tunnel 1, on mile 40, is well under way
and at the present rate of progress
will be finished weeks before the track
can be laid aronnd the loop on mile 51,
where two bridges are to cross I ’lacer
river.
The bench on the first tunnel is
nearly out and with the completion of
the bore, a heavy rock cut and a
bridge near tho south entrance, track
can be laid to the tunnel. The big
trestle will be finished about the middle
of October but the deep rock cut on j
mile 50 will probably require until
November 1. v,
llarriman stocks are going up. Un
ion Pacific is above 100 and Southern
Pacific has reached 03$. It. was differ
ent when Uncle Coll is Huntington was
running the latter road.
