No. 69 SIXTEENTH YEAR
SKAGWAY, ALASKA. SATURDAY, MAY 3, 1918 PRICE 10 CENT
A PROPHET OF
SWEET PEACE
Sena. or L. V. Ray, president of
the Territorial Senate of Alaska,
was one of the distinguished pas
sengers making the trip on the
Mariposa from Juneau to his home
lu Seward. Mr. Ray called on the
Dally Alaskan while here and mude
a few statements regarding the ac
tions of tho first legislature.
One thing' that Senator Ray con
gratulates the legislature on is tho
harmoulous manner la which its
i^ffalrs were conducted. While In
the course of their deliberations
there were moie or less hoated ar
gument.!. yet when it was over, the
members met as friends, co-work
ers and Alaskans. Considering that
tae legislative work was entirely
new to all the members, that It was
necessary to blaie their trail from
start to finish, and that there was
considerable doubt as to the ex
tent to wntch they might pass laws,
he believes the be?t was done that
could ho done, and that Alaska will
accept the verdict of tho new body
and declare It well done.
The banks of Fairbanks sent out
a general warning last week that
there were In circulation In the town
miny spurious coins, all of which
were gold, and of the $20 denomin
ation. Several of them wore de
posited by Innocent tradespeople
during the early part of tho week,
who had accepted them in good
f*lth from the trade. From whence
tai counterfeits sprung Is. of course,
a mystery and will be looked Into by
the author'ties. ? Alaska Citizen.
That the hotels of Seattle are
making bids for Alaska business.
Is shown In a neat little folder
printed in browu, showing tho ad
jutages of the Arlington hoted.
both In the matter of rates and ac
commodation. This hotel, under
tl;e management of W. G. Potts, Is
well known to the northwest, hav
ing been one of the first largo hot
els to be constructed In the Spirit
city. I: hac been remodeled sever
al times and keeps up to the re
r.ulrem- nts of the day.
F. N. Feero returned this morn

and Tacoma.

SUTHERLAND
STAYED BY ELEC
TION PROMISES
Senator Dan Sutherland Is 111 the
city, and will remain hero for a few
days before going north 011 his way
to his home in Ruby, where he Is
the owner of placer mining proper
Senator Sutherland Is one of the
legislators who voted first, last and
all the time according to the proqi
Isos of his political platform. Ho
tnude one of tho best talks, In fact
the best talk, In the senato for tho
abolition of the fish trap. Mr. Suth
erland was formerly a Gloucester
llsherman, mid he has seen the fish
of the Atlantic coast dopleted by
the big corporations, when they us
ed fish traps and other moans of
grabbing tlsh for rcvouue, without
regard to the future of the Indus
try, and he knew what he was talk
ing about when Ije asked for a law
to declare the trap out of business
in AlaSKii. But his bills failed of
passage, .and failed by the votes of
men who had solemnly promised to
support the measure they traitor
ously defeated.
Senator Sutherland Is best known
to this district as "Dan", and it is
difficult to get In the habit of coup
llu,{ tho title of "Senator" to him.
II# secured some notoriety when
C.ovornor Clark referred to htm a*
a "rough neck" during the days of
Mr. Clark's advent Into tile coun
try, but l)an has lived to see hlmsolf
??letted to the senate, while the
gentleman who scornfully opposed
him Is now about to retire into ob
CRATER LAKE'S HUGE RIM.
All That It Left ot a Once Mighty Vol*
cano In Oregon.
Ttie highest mountain In Oregon Is
Mount Hood. 1 1 ,'S?> feet above i-ou
tevel. Com pa red with Mount Whitney,
to the south lu California, and Mount
Itulnler. to the north In Washington.
;aeh rising well above 11,000 feet.
Mount Hood does not np|>enr as a sky
scraper.
However, according to tbe geologists
of tho United states geological survey
and other authorities. Oregon bad at
one time, probably before the dawn of
life upon tbe earth, a great volcano
which towered as far above Mount
Hood us does Mount Itulnler, possibly
even several thousand feet higher.
This was the great Mount Muzamu.
But thousauds of year* ago this moun
tain disappeared Into tbe bowels of
tbe earth, nnd nil that Is left todny Is
tbe huge lim around Crater lake.
Crater lake Is tbe cnldera of this ex
tinct and collapsed volcano and Is
nearly sli miles In diameter. The In
side walls of the riui of the ancient
mountain are In places nearly 4,000
feet high and almost perpendicular.
Tbe lake itself Is In places 2.000 feet
deep, and parts of the wnll rise above
Its we tern another 2,000 feet. A resto
ration of the mountain In fancy, using
as a basis the angles of the lower
slopes, which still remain, shows that
the apex could u?t have been far from
15.000 feet iu height, so that Mount
Manama was one of the most lofty aud
majestic |>eaks In the Halted States.

The record for traveling on riv

Wednesday left horo on a six horsi'
stago, going overland by the Xlnemllo
