It is barely ten miles from the spot where the plane. was found. Valley of 10,000 Smokes. “The whole coast in this region is extremely rugged. with numercus in- dentations and oftshore isiets, while a short distance inland rise_ volcanic mountains. Katmai volcano, the erup- tion of which in 1912 was one of the most violent in modern times. and the wonderful valley of Ten Thousand Smokes, which the eruption created, are little more than fifty miles away. The story of the tremendous volcanic disturbance in this almost uninhabit- ed region was 'pieced out partly by the stories of Kanatak residents, who felt the violent earth tremors and saw the flery eruption. “Kodiak Island, just across from Maj. Martin's landing place, played a prominent part in Russia's control of Alaska. When the Russian-American company took charge of Alaskan af- fairs in 1799 it made Kodiak its head- quarters, and, in effect, the capital of Russian America. The all-powerful director of the company made the island his home. “A few milet east of Maj. Martin's landing place on the mainland and across from it on Kodiak Island, the flyers saw the last forests they will encounter until they penetrate Jap- anese territory. With surprising sud- denness the thickly forested regions of the Alaskan coast terminate and give way to the grass lands which characterize the _entire Aleutian chain. The sudden change is most striking on Kodiak. The east end of the island is heavily timbered, while the remainder of its land is entirely treeless.” | Possessing All of the decorators who have had a hand in the work were sentenced Wide World Photo LIQUOR SEIZED, 3 HELD Woman Proprietor and Man Ac- cused on Statutory Charge.

Grim tragedy stalked close behind a girl's farewell for Earl Tompkins, 1817 4th street northwest, last night. Today he lies unconscious with a fractured skull at Casualty Hospital, where, it was said, there is “practi- cally no hope for his recovery.” Tompkins, eighteen years old, an employe of the government printing office, had been visiting at the home of Miss Verona Showers, in Cottage City, Md. About 9 o'clock they left the House, sauntered slowly to the street car line and stood waiting for the car. A hurried farewell and Tompkins rushed to cross the tracks to the “stop” side. He was struck, accord- ing to eyewitnesses, and, before the horrified gaze of his companion, was dragged under the car and carried some distance before the car could be stopped. It was fully an hour before the 1imp body could be withdrawn from the Dlace into which it had been wedged, by a wrecking crew called from the city, which was forced to 1ift the street car. J. Souder was motorman and Ira Haines conductor of the car, ING OF FOREST PROTECTION WEEK. President Coolidge has proclaimed the week of April 21 to 27 as “Forest L. A.

SALARY SCALE AS DISGRACE Representative Stengle Self to Work for “Real Re- classification” Law. Declaring that some of the salaries paid by Uncle Sam are “a disgrace to the government” Representative Charles L Stengle of New York pledged himself to work for ‘real reclassification,” in addressing em- ployes of the District government at the District building vesterday after- noon. “Congress,” said the New York rep- resentative, “is talking in terms of millions nowadays. A man is a piker if he asks on the floor for an appro- priation of less than $500,000, but when you ask for increases in pay for federal workers the angels of economy begin to flaunt their wings.” Representative Stengle criticized the work of the bureau of efficiency.
