POWER OF SI (HiKSTION
Weilders of the pen journalistic ever must be on the alert to guard
r^ainst the power of suggestion contained in the news of the day. The rural
I ress does not have the opportunity offered of doing the harm that the met
ropolitan papers possess practically every time the sun rises.
Even if he did have that chance, the country editor, rubbing shoulders
a- he does with many of his readers every day, always has in mind the ef
fect of hi& p-imod word cn the public. City editors flock with their own.
kind all the time, and the only measure they get of a story Is the reaction
from another newspaper man as to whether it carries read-interest or .not.
The smaller editor continually passes up items that might have a bad ef
fivt on his friends, and takes the loss of punch in his pages with true phil
osophy. It's a good thing for the sanity of the country that he does.
All this, however, is by way of condemning one more instance of lack
of repression on the part of metropolitan editors. A new York paper a few
days ago carried a story of several deaths incurred through the poisoning
vt customers of a bakery in that city. The story was widely copied, ^litors
i.gurtng that every one who bought bread of a bakery would be interested,
which they were.
Three days later a bright youngster in Detroit, reading the item and
finding a pathway to notoriety handy to his feet, placed a lot of broken
glass in some bread, and some more people are dying. The boy claimed he
w as induced to play the part of assassin by a man. but that does not change
the result. The original story, copied in Detroit, beyond question caused
the later deaths.

RECORD IS FAVORARLE TO ALASKANS
A stuay of the record papers of one million American men examined
for service in the late war brings out some interesting facts, one of which
brings the Territory of Alaska to the front as having the most robust cit
i.ens The study was made by Major Gen. Merritt W. Ireland. Surgeon
Ceneral of the Army. He shows that the mean weight in pounds of the VI

under 147 pounds and running down to the lowest in Rhode Island at 136.

40. Hut in the defectives per 1.000 all the states but seven make a better
showing than Alaska, which is 547. Again Rhode Island lags with 640,
while Kansas makes the best showing, with but 354.
In summing up the table it may be said that the average American of
fighting age is five feet seven inches and forty-nine one-hundredths of a
pound. He is tallest if he comes from Texas, shortest if he hails from
Rhode Island, most robust if he be a native of Alaska, and least robust if
Rhode island is his home. The state with the fewest number of defective
males of fighting age is Kansas and the one with the greatest number is
Rhode Island The men would appear to be more nearly physically perfect
tl :in those of any other section of the country. There are more defectives
in the cities than on the farms, and the native American is physically the
superior of the average citizen born under of er flags.—Juneau Empire.

NEW ItOUTK POUND
TO VAIiliKY < (VP SMOKES;
WIIiL ATTRACT TOURIST
A new shorter route to the "Val
ley of Ten Thousand Smokes" is
the recent discovery Qf Capt. N. J.
Galkeina, who, with a small party
of friends, has just returned to An
chorage, according to The Anchor
age Times. The party was absent
for three weeks, during which time
a route was discovered by means of
which a journey ol about 30 mileH
and three days' travel will lead Into
the very heart of the awe-inspir
ing valley, according to Capt. Geik
ema.
The route led to the head of
Katmal river and on to Katmai lake
and around the base of Mt. Katmai.
Ascending a hill to an elevation
above the great crater the party re
ceived a series of thrills in the awe
inspiring sight of the great crater,
which is three miles long vhere ti
tanic forces lifted up and hurled
into the air the cone of the moun
tain. leaving a great ragged scar.
From the crater tne party pene
trated the valley where they spent
three weeks exploring it from end to
end. Captain Gaikema says that 'i
number of fumaroles spoken of by
Dr. Robert F. Griggs are now al-|
most quiescent, emitting only warm
air instead of super-neated steam as
at the time of the doctor's visit.
Many other fumaroles are still belch
Ing forth super-heated steam. Of
these the party found one fully forty
feet in diameter in irhich two cones
about eight feet in diameter were
emitting great jets of steam with a
deafening roar.
To the right as the party entered
the valley they came across an old
eruptive volcano that offered added
thrills Mt. Megaik, one of the sate
lites of Katmai, U belching forth
smoke to a height of 200 feet and
Mt. Navurupka is now in a very ac
tive state.
Among the difficulties encountered
was the absencc of drinking water.
"I was very thirsty," said Captain
I Gaikema, "and approached a beauti
• ful crystal stream for a drink; I
found the water not only warm but
filled with sulphurous and other
chemical elements. Many of these
streams emerge from beneath glac
iers. and the contact of the warm
water with the Ice produces vapor
effects and s^nds up nimy clouds. At'
night we experienced difficulty in
sleeping having light covering and
finding the earth too warm at times
and the cold above necessitating con
stant turning over and baking first
on one side and then the other."
T! e party was almost barefoot on
return to the launcn Sea Lion after
the long hike over the puramlce stone
Odo of the ladles had to abandon her
shoes and return In her rubber boots.
Captain Gaikema s trip was for t::e
purpose of exploring a route that
would permit of entering through
Cook inlet from a safe harbor, where
a boat may bo lef! while parties
are visiting the "Valley of Ten
Thousand Smokes." He thinks the
region will prove a great magnet
for tourists, but says they must be
j of the most strenuous kind, for it is
I not a weakling's jleasuro jaunt.
LAXD OFFICE I P OX WORK
FOR FIRST TIME
Washington, Sept. * 5.—For the
first time in many years, most of the
divisions of the General Land office
have their work in a practically cur
rent condition, according to a recent
report of the commissioner of that
office to Secretary of the Interior
Fall. The clearing up of back work,
it was said, is pursuant to Mr. Fall's
policy of getting rid of all the work
hanging over the last administra
tion.
Only one or two divisions are now
slightly behind in the work. It was
reported, and so rapidly Is that be
ing put out of the way that the en
tire land office will s .ortly be on the
current basis. The General Land Oi
fice it was shown has made great
strides to that end, in common with
at least two other divisions ot the
Interior Department.
The Patent Office and Pendion Bu
reau are rapidly clearing up cases
which have accumulated in the sev
eral offices for the last few years,
until now they are declared to be
about at the peaks of efficiency.
This, In the Patent office, is despite
the fact that applications for patents
are coming in to the office in steadily
increasing members.
The General Lane office head re
ported to Mr. Fall that the number
of complaints and inquiries to that
office has been reduced by more than
50 per cent within the last six
months, thus relieving a large num
ber of clerks for other duties. In
June, 131,705 acres were approved
to states, under their grants, as
against 120,022 in May, and 661,
594 avres were approved to railroad
companies against 59,351 acres in
May.
