ALASKANS URGED
TO MAKE EFFORT
TO SAVE MORE
Department of Labor Makei Appeal
Through Delegate Sulzer For
Increasing Production.
-
On the last incoming mail the
following letter, which is self ex
planatory, was received from Dele
gate Sulzer:
Washington, D. C. May 13, 1918
“R. G. Southworth, Nenana News,
Nenana, Alaska.
“My dear Mr. Southworth:—I
have been asked by the Department
of Labor to write a letter to all
the newspapers in Alaska, urging
the people of the territory to put
forth extra efforts, during the sum
mer of 1918, in increasing the pro
duction of foodstuff, that they may,
thereby assist the Government in
winning the war- And, in com
pliance with the request, I wish to
ask that you give as much publicity
as possible to this appeal, as it is
of the utmost importance.
No state or land under the Stars
and Stripes has come forth more
loyally than Alaska in the matter
of subschibing to the Liberty Loans,
in furnishing volunteers for the
army, and in assisting the Red Cross,
and other war working organizations.
Although far away, Alaska is not
so remote that the administrative
heads do not know of the splendid
work that hps been done in the
North since the commencement of
the war. They know of all the work
that has been done and it has been
vehy gratifying to me, as repre
sentative of the people of Alaska,
to be able to bring to the attention
of the administrative heads the
statistics which show conclusively
Alaskans are backing the President
in the prosecution of the war, in
the determination to make the world
safe for democracy.
In the past, and especially in 1917
Alaska’s showing in the production
of food, by its fisheries and farms,
was remarkable. Yet, the Govern
ment asks for more. Therefore, let
me appeal, with great emphasis, to
all the people of Alaska to produce
as much foodstlff as possible during
the season of 1918, and to consume
only home-grown products where
possible, that we may be able to
save the bread and other necessities
of life for our soldiers, the soldiers
of our Allies and for the poor
women and children of Belgium and
France, who have suffered so ter
ribly since that awful day in 1914,
when, by the act of a mad monarch,
the world was converted into a
human slaughterhouse.
“And let me urge the newspapers
of Alaska to keep this matter re
freshed in the minds of the people;
for three things will win the war—
men, money and food. Alaska has
given liberally of the first two and,
with a little effort, the people of
the North will be able to give more
generously of the third than they
have heretofore; thereby showing
the world a record for loyalty that
will be the pride of all future gener
ations of Alaskans.
“Thanking you in advance for the
consideration which I am sure you
will give this matter, I am,
“Sincerely yours,
“CHAS. A. SULZER,
“Delegate from Alaska.’
C. Herb Wilson, who has been
in town for the past two days, leaves
for his camp site today. He has se
cured another clearing contract on
the new D line.
Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Slippern cele
brated their silver wedding anni

Frank Johnson, storekeeper at

visitors in Nenana for the holidays.
He expects to return to his post to
morrow.

Two Explorers Coming North This
Summer to Make Further Study
of Volcanoes
I
—
SEATTLE.—Alaska’s great vol-1
cano, Mount Katmai, called “The
Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes" is
to be visited this year by two ex
plorers sent North in the interests
of the National Geographical Society
the organization that last year sent
Professor Robert F. Griggs of the
Ohio State Collegs. to make the first
extensive exploration of the moun
tain.
The two men going North this
year are Jasper D. Sayre and Paul
R. Hagelbarger. They are also from
the Ohio State University and, it is
belived here, were recommended by
Profesor Griggs. It is thought at
the University of Washington here !
that Professor Griggs would have
returned to the mountain this year
but did not do so because he could
not get back in time for the open- j
ing of the fall semester at college, j
Sayre and Hagelbarger will at
tempt to reach the crater from a
direction opposite to that taken by
Professor Griggs and his party. The
two left here recently for the North
and probably will spend the entire
summer studying the mountain.
Katmai is the greatest crater on
the face of the globe, according to
Professor Griggs. It is over nine
miles in circumference and 3,600
feet deep- It burst forth in 1912
and sent out fine ashes that fell on
an average depth of ten feet for a
radious of 100 miles. It is said
there was an appreciable fall of the
ashes as far south at Victoria, B. C.
and scientists claimed they found
Katmai ashes in Virginia, North
Africa and parts of Europe
Before the 1912 eruption very
little was known of Katmai. In .
1916 Professor Griggs visited the
mountain but did not make an ex- 1
tensive exploration.
