SARGENT’S MAPS, NOTES
“The tundra was remarkably :
firm and little brush was en
countered so three days mushing
brought us to a mountain wall
where a rent 2.000 feet clean al
lowed the Aminkchak River to
pour out in a series of rapids.
Camping outside “the Gates” we
waked a day to reconrniter and ;
find a way into tor crater rhat
hay beyond. Mr. P. H. Sarpwit
topographic engineer, discovered
the crater in 1902. Lack of time
prevented i.« P orouah explora-'

that we are indented for. know

‘The first sight of the crater
takes your breath away. A half

by con&s and cinder ridges spread
cut for 30 square miles. A vent
mountain the size of Vesuvius
lises in its center. A lake two and
one-half miles long is tucked
away in one corner; the most re
markable thing abc* t it being
that it is a spawning lake for sal
mon.—and inside a crater!
“The lake has two lava;
cones rising a few hundred feet
high near its head. Several cones
sheltered by obsidian cliffs afford
ed good camp sites and in one
of these we pitched out tent. Al
ders and widows abound^. For
two weeks we lived inside the
crater which was flush with laige
and small game, climbed vent
mountains, explored the miles of

two large explosion pits,—craters

CRATER IS ACTIVE
“Soda am* iron bi-carbonate
springs abounded at the head of
the lake. Bears and caribou range
on the volcanos flanks. The most
interesting discovery was that the
supposed dormant Amiakchak
crater is active. In three portions
of the wall steam issues, and in
one recently exploded part, a few
dozen active fumaroles rival those
of the Valley of Ten Thousand
Smokes. Colors, too, on the walls
rival the Royal Gorge and glaciers
hang on its highest points.
“The six and three-quarter miles |
diameter enter of Amiakchak is
the true wonder of the Alaska
Peninsula, twice the size of Kat
ina: and active. We were 21 days
on the trail and I know Alaskans
will find it hard to believe when

IT DEPENDS ON YOU”
The KOHLER Automatic
produces 110-volt current
The Kohler Automatic Power and Light Plant p-oduces
standard 110-volt electricity, and therefore allows you to
use the same standard electric light bulbs and appliances
used in cities. These appliance s are available everywhere
and cost less than those of lower voltage.
Coupled with this advantage of the Kohler Automatic is
the feature of “no storage batteries.” This does away with
the trouble and expense of maintaining a large bank of
glass-cell storage batteries. The only battery used with
the Kohler Automatic is a small, automobile-type, for
starting the engine.
Thus the Kohler Automatic gives you all the advantages
of city electricity with the same convenience—simply
turn any button on the circuit and you have electricity
for power or light. Send for illustrated booklet. Come in
and see the plant in operation. *

doctors right hand man
A SMALL voice sent up its appeal, “I hurted my
dolly, and 1 came right here so’s you could fix it!”
The childish plea reflected the community’s confidence
in the Neighborhood Druggist to smooth out many a
little trouble.
Often taken for granted, the druggist’s many ser^
vices to the people of his neighborhood entitle him not
.only to their respect and esteem, but to a measure of
practical support not generally given.
He is your Doctor's right-hand man, ready to serve
you when sickness comes, and to help guard your
health. He gained his knowledge of drugs anji health
measures by years spent in college and the school of
experience. He is a professional man, a pharmacist, by
education, and of necessity a merchant, too, to make
ends meet. You can best show your appreciation of his
services by patronizing his store, with its assortment of
household conveniences. But if you would keep him in
your midst, don't expect him to meet every cut price
made by stores whose sole object is to sell merchandise*;
