The committee appointed by the
Anchorage Chamber of Commerce to
draw up a fitting set of resolutions
protesting the lot forfeiture clause
and praying for deliverance reported
at the regular meeting last night and
the resolutions were unanimously
passed. Copies of the resolutions will
be forwarded to the proper authori
ties and are as follows:
Whereas, The president of the Unit
ed States, pursuant to an act of con
gress, approved March 12, 1 ttl4, en
titled “An act to authorize the presi
dent of the United States to locate,
construct, and operate railroads in the
territory of Alaska, and for other pur
poses,” has prescribed certain rules
and regulations governing the dispo
sal of town lots in the townsite of
Anchorage, Alaska, which regulation.-,
among other things, provide that all
rights of the applicant under his pur
chase of any lot or lots in said town
shall terminate and a forfeiture there
of be had if such lot or lots, or any
part thereof, be used for the purpose
of manufacturing, selling, or other
wise disposing of intoxicating liquors
as a beverage, or for gambling, pros
titution, or any unlawful purpose, be
fore final payment is made and during
a period of five years from the date
of register’s certificate of sale; and
Whereas, The purchasers of lots and
the business men and residents of the
townsite of Anchorage have found
said forfeiture clauses to be a serious
hindrance to the progress and develop
ment of saiil town, in that it is exceed
ingly difficult, if not impossible, for
the applicants to purchase said lots,
of their grantees, by any reasonable
precautions, to guard effectually
against the violation of such regula
tions by tenants or lessees, or by any
temporary occupant thereof, and in
nocent parties be subjected thereby to
lose their property, and on account of
such liability to forfeiture financial
institutions are unwiling to accept
such property as security for loans;
and
W hereas, 1 he residents ol the said
town of Anchorage are peaceable and
law-abiding, and opposed to the liquor
traffic, which is abundantly evidenced
by the vote cast at the last election
upon the question of said traffic being
prohibited within the territory of
Alaska, when bOO persons voted
against the traffic and only 2(50 voted
in its favor; and
Whereas, In our judgment, the law
of the land, when enforced with rea
sonable diligence, is amply sufficient
to preserve order, and the forfeiture
of property as a punishment for pet
ty offenses, in addition to fines and
jail sentences prescribed by law, is a
harsh penalty, wholly unwarranted by
circumstances; and
Whereas, The congress of the Unit
ed States has recently enacted a law,
which prohibits the manufacture, sale,
or importation of intoxicating liquors
into the territory of Alaska, under
severe penalties, the enforcement of
which law will entirely remove the
need of local regulations regarding
said traffic. Now, therefore,
lie it Resolved by the Anchorage
Chamber of Commerce, that a mollifi
cation of the terms of the townsite
regulations is essential to the progress
of the community of Anchorage, and
that the forfeiture provisions in the
preamble hereto contained ought and
should be entirely eliminated there
from. That we invite the attention of
the president of the United States
and the secretary of the interior to
the foregoing statements and urge
upon them the immediate advisability
of making such modifications.
That a copy of these resolutions be
forwarded to Mr. Andrew Christen
sen, manager of the Land and Indus
trial department of the Alaskan Engi
neering commission, with the request
that any favorable action thereon, con
sistent with his authority as manager
of said department may be had, and
that such resolutions be forwarded to
the secretary of the interior or pres
ident of the United States, if so to do
shall be necessary for final action
thereon.

KODIAK, Alaska, April 17.—He-1
cent visits to Katmai volcano, which !
lies 80 miles north of here, have con-!
vinced those making the trip that i
that it will be some time before the I
world’s greatest volcano will be list- j
ed as a regular exhibit for tourists.
The situation around the crater is i
a little too realistic and fraught with
danger.
Mud (lows, unannounced floods ofj
frightful proportions, landslides and 1
occasional gusts of gas are constantly 1
occurring and three groups of craters
surrounding the king of all modern
[ craters take turns at steaming.
Katmai is of the explosive type of!
crater and presents few of the char
acteristics shown by the Hawaiian
volcanoes, there being no lava in
sight. The original eruption was,
; a series of cannonlike reports by which
so vast a mass of matter was hurled :
skyward that the atmosphere over the!
whole surface of the earth was affect
ed. This material was hurled out in
the form of gas filled pumice lighter!
than water.
An idea of the extent of the erup
tion in distances is gained by the fol
, lowing comparison. Had the eruption!
occurred in the loop district of Chicago!
the whole city would have been buried
under from 15 to 20 feet of ash and it
would have been six months before any
one could approach nearer than Kvans
ton.
There would have been a foot of I
ashes at Springfield, III., and an inch
at Cairo, while the explosions would i
have been heard in New York and
Philadelphia and fine dust and fumes I
would have been noted in New Or-j
leans.
Katmai canyon at the foot of the;
main crater was so filled with ashes!
by the original eruption that a vast1
lake was formed in the upper reaches,
of the stream. Last spring this flam j
broke and precipitated a flood so vast
that the high water mark shows it to:
have been fifteen feet deep where the
valley is five miles mide. The remain
ing deposit of water soaked pumice,
many feet in depth, actually is flowing
seaward as a mass with a slow glacier
like motion. It is like quicksand and
, dangerous to cross. Cold bay, 25 miles
south of the crater, has been filled for
several miles 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 blowing from the sunny side of,
the slopes in the spring has covered
snow drifts remaining on the north
slopes so deep as to keep it from melt
ing all summer. Thus layers of snow
and pumice are accumulating in the
northern valleys which may remain for
ages.
The sharp pumice particles blown
about by the wind cut weird designs ;
in the dead trees and brush and have I
actually cut away small twigs.
The natives who escaped from
Katmai bay during the great eruption
never returned, having been provided
with a new town further westward.
The Kodiak natives however declare
Katmai to be “safe so long as he
smoke.” Scientists support this na
tive logic by stating that volcanoes of
this sort only erupt when a slide eov
I ers up the vent and pressure becomes
sufficiently strong to cause an explo
sion.
Mixed, hot and cold drinks served
just right at Peterson’s. 2

WIFE SAYS 111 BUY
BARKS AT HER LIKE DOG
OMAHA, Xeb.—-Comes now a wife
,vho has sidetracked the threadbare I
ind stereotyped allegations for di
vorce entered the legal lists with a
.inique complaint against her spouse.
Mrs. Ruth Ross asserts that her
lusband, George Ross, “barks” at her,
jpon the slightest and most trivial ex
cuse. Yes sir, “barks” just like a dog.
She alleges that lie displays these can
ine-like proclivities at the slightest j
provocation.
Ross, who is the proprietor of a
grocery store, has a violent temper,
lis wife further alleges, “and maligns
ler and her relatives and speaks in a
scandalous manner of any one who
sappens to be around.”
She asserts that these “paroxysms
if violent temper” have affected her
lealth.
The wife sets forth that her “bark
ng hubby” has a $5,000 equity in a
house and has accumulated about
$20,000 in the grocery business. She
wants suitable alimony and custody of
a minor daughter, Betty Ross.
