Regarding the visit of the scien
tists to Mt. Katmai, who recently
passed through Cordova, the Seattle
Times of recent date has some addi
tional details as follows:
Alaska’s Valley of the Ten Thous
and Smokes, one of the wonders of
the ages, and Mount Katmai, which
in June, 1912, hurst into a gigantic
flaming torch raining volcanic ash
from the depths of the earth on
hundreds of miles of territory, will
be visited this spring by Dr. Robert
F. Griggs of Ohio State University
and a party of scientists representing
the National Geographical Society.
Dr. Griggs visited Mount Katmai
in the sumer of 1917, heading an ex
pedition sent to Alaska by the Na
tional Geographic Society, and pro
nounced it one of the world’s greatest
volcanoes. He is now heading the
society’s second expedition to the
wonderland of the north.
With a roar that made the earth
tremble, Mount Katmai belched fire
and flame into the heavens in June,
1912, burying Kodiak island under a
foot of volcanic ash.
Upon his return from Alaska two
years ago, Dr. Griggs said the volcano
was as docile as a lamb and there
probably never would be a repetition
of the eruption of 1912, at least for
thousands of years.
Dr. Griggs explained that the safety
valves in the Mount Katmai district
were wide open and the earth was
letting off steam and gases from lit
erally millions of active vents in a
space of approximately 100 square
miles, making a violent eruption such
as occured in 1912 impossible. He
called the volcanic district the Valley
of the Ten Thousand Smokes and the
name was officially adopted by the
National Geographic Society. The
/ valley is one of the wonders of the
> world, for instead of 10,000 smokes,
\ as Dr. Griggs expressed it, there are
' literally millions of fissures in an
area of 100 square miles.
On his last visit to Seattle, Dr.
/
Griggs said that the survey made
during the summer of 1917 proved
that Katmai is the greatest crater on
the face of the globe, being more than
nine miles in circumference and 3,500
miles deep. The scientists discovered
a mud flow seventeen miles long and
mapped 1,6000 miles of charted ter
ritory during their expedition two
years ago.
Prior to the eruption of Mount
Katmai in June, 1912, practically
nothing was known of the Alaska vol
canic area. Dr. Griggs said that the
eruption was in the nature of a gi
gantic explosion, one of the greatest
in the history of the world.
In Dr. Griggs’ party, which recently
passed through Cordova are Paul K.
Hagelbarger, who was assistant
botanist for the 1917 expedition;
Ralph Hagelbarger, W. L. Heinning,
A. F. Miller, Julius Stone, jr., and
H. N. Wallace.
OREGON’S WAR HEROES’
HISTORY BEING COMPILED
SALEM, Ore., April 24 (by Asso
ciated Press).—War histories, not
only of the more than 31,000 men who
represent Oregon in the military serv
ice, but of the other thousands who
helped put the state over the top in
campaigns and drives, who preached
sermons or made four minute talks
and who wrote war books, songs or
plays, rapidly is being gathered by
State Historian Cornelia Marvin at
the stae library here. The library and
the council of defense are collaborat
ing in the work.
A complete military history of only
ono Oregon unit, the 147th Field Ar
tillery, has been filed with the state
historian, bpt those Of other units are
being prepared by their officers and
in some cases will be published by the
organizations themselves.
County war historians have been
named throughout Oregon by Miss
Marvin who wrote to them recently as
follows; i
“We need your co-operation in furn
ishing records, clippings, data and in
developing plans for the work. Many
states are doing this work on an elab
orate scale and we have profited by
the plans of California, Ohio and New
Hampshire. Even though the war is
over, the records must not perish.
The history of Oregon’s war service
must be written from' full and authen
tic records which we now are striving
to collect. It is volunteer service ol'
great importance. This patriotic rec
ord is not confined to military or of
ficial service, but should cover every
person, organizations and activity in
the country which has given time,
thought, money or life to war work.”
LITTLE DELTA ROADHOUSE
CLOSED FOR THE SEASON
--
The Little Delta roadhouse on the
Fairbanks-Chitina trail, has been
closed for the season, and will not
reopen until next fall.
Ernest burn, who ra'n this road
house during the season, is in Fair
banks, en route to the Circle country,
where he will work for the Anderson
hydraulic plant.
It is reported that the colonel of
an American regiment during the
fight in the Marne salient was re
buked because he did not hold his
command to the assigned objective.
He replied with some heat: “How in
hell do you expect me to hold this
regiment when the whole damned
German army couldn’t do it.”
C. J. Clemenson of Ketchikan re
cenlty died in Seattle, following an
operation for a chronic complaint.
MYSTERY SURROUNDS
DISAPPEARACE OF STATUE
—-•-- .
HELBNA, Mont., April 22 (by Asso
ciated Press).—A request for informa
tion from a resident of Medford,
Mass., as to the whereabouts of the
silver figure of Justice, admired by
the thousands at the World’s Colum
bian exposition at Chicago in 1S!)3 as
a part of the Montana state exhibit,
has recalled to mind a quarter century
mystery as to the disappearance of the I
once famous statue.
The! statue, for which the late Ada
Rehaii the actress, posed as the
model was formed of pure silver and
mounted on a sphere of unalloyed gold,
ft wai constantly guarded during the
exposition by three armed men, and
at the) close was placed on a special
car aid started to Helena under es
cort oljtwo armed guards. Here it was
removed to the court house, which
then ias used also as the state Cap
itol. Borne days later it was discov
ered Ehat the silver statue had been
removed and a painted wooden one
substituted.
The!thief was kept secret and de
tectives were employed in an effort
to locdte the original statue, but never
with Any success. The state indus
trial accident board, to which the
man's inquiry was addressed, was un
able to give him any information in
the matter. •
