VILLAGES UNDER ASHES Kodiak and Woody, Alaska, Covered With Lava to a Depth of a Foot as a Result of the Eruption of Katmai Volcano. Kodiak, Alaska, June 9, via Tug to Seaward, June 12.—Kodiak and Woody island villages are buried un- der a foot of ashes as a result of the eruption of Katmai volcano beginning Thursday afternoon and lasting forty- eight hours. No lives have been lost here, but many other settlements near the volcano must have suffered in- describably. The revenue cutter Manning was in port here when the eruption began and furnished refuge for all the in- habitants of the town, 500 men, wom- en and children, doubtless saving many lives. The Manning is now | serving distilled water and govern- ment rations to the destitute people, the water supply having been pol- luted and springs filled with ashes. Wireless Station Destroyed. | The naval wireless station was de-| stroyed by fire and the Manning’s wireless equipment is too weak to work with Cordova. Dispatches are be- ing sent by tug to Seward with an ap- peal for all available craft to come to the assistance of the people in the vi- cinity. The property loss will be enor- mous. As soon as the hail of ashes, sand and hot pumice stone began the of- ficers of the Manning ordered every one in Kodiak and nearby villages to | board the ship. For more than forty hours the peo- ple were huddled together in the dark- ness of midnight. Saturday morning it grew lighter, the Manning worked out of the narrow channel and headed for the open sea. She had not pro- ceeded far when the pall lifted and she returned to Kodiak. Ashes Fall at Dawson. Seattle, June 12.—Dispatches from canic ash fell there. The people of Dawson had not heard of the Katmai eruption. Other points in the Yukon valley reported a light fall of ashes and Eagle, Alaska, near the interna- tant explosions. STUBBS MAKES HURRY TRIP Governor Quits Chicago for Conference With Roosevelt. New York, June 12.—Governor Stubbs of Kansas, who has been on the firing line in Chicago for Roose- velt since the national committee be- gan to hear the contests, hurried into New York to tell the candidate the latest details and the stage was set | @ by American Press Association. GOVERNOR STUBBS. ;for the conference when Roosevelt reached the Outlook office from Oys- ‘ter Bay. | Before talking with Roosevelt Gov- ernor Stubbs gave no intimation of his | mission, nor did the colonel tell what he expected to hear from his lieuten- ant. But that it was an important matter that brought Governor Stubbs post haste to New York was apparent from the fact that his coming was un- heralded from Chicago. He came on the heels of George W. Perkins and other Roosevelt workers, who took to Sagamore Hill all the most startling intelligence from the seat of war. BOSTON STRIKE MAY END Company Agrees to Submit Matter to Arbitration Board. Boston, June 12.—Settlement of the Boston elevated street car strike, in which between 3,000 and 4,000 men have been out for five days, is in sight, the company agreeing to submit the matter to the state board of concilia- tlom and arbitration.

GRAND RAPIDS, Grand Rapids: MINNESOTA. Like all other arts and sciences many people attempt it, and even claim proficiency, ‘whe do rot know even the first principles or fundamental rules pre- taining to it. It is seldom that a town of the size of Grand Rapids is fortunate enough to have one person in it who is a real artist and thoroly knows her business, though many there be who profess to do so—as can prove to thei ir wardrobe’s sorrow. many One reason for this is the very fact that so many do not appreciate the services of an artist, and seem to think that the time and work of such a one is worth no more than that of a pretender. Now, is it not much better when you have pur- chased a fine piece of goods and put money into good trimmings to put a little more with that and have some one who KNOWS HOW make that! gown, and be sure that when it is finished it will be not only fit to wear but apsolut ely perfect in every detail? A gown that you may wear and feel that others observing you know that you are well dressed? A gown made for Y OU, that not only fits you perfectly, but suits your personality and style of beauty and adds to, instead of detracting from your personal appearance, Of course you cam go to the cities and obtain this same service, but carfare poth Ways and artistic service in the cities is not given away, neither is the latter always perfect as many haye already dis- covered. Besides , one should be Joyal enough to their home town to help in every possible way to build it up» and when one has made the effort and brought the best of service to you would it not be advisable for all to at least give this service a fair trial and pay its workers a proper price for their work? Our prices are extremely reasonable when tha quality of the work is considered. We do not do CHEAP WORK even on the plaimest and cheapest of gowns; the work is the same, the only difference in price being for the amount of work or length of time put on a garment. We make simple house dresses or school dresses for from $3.00 up; dainty wash and street gowns for $8.50 up; party gowns, according to the style and amount of work for $12.50 to $15 and up; suits, coats, skirts, ki- monas and other apparel at prices according to the style selected.

This is done to clean them of the accumulated filth from which he hes come.” The following rules are recom- agence the flies away from the sick, especially these ill with conta- gious diseases.

Governor Eberhart’s message, read at a joint session of house and senate, is a brief statement of the needs for the three measures mentioned in the call for the session, a statewide pri- mary bill, stringent corrupt practices act and reapportionment bill. In ad- dition the governor asks the legisla- ture to ratify the proposed income tax and direct election of United States | senators, both being amendments to the federal constitution, and to pro- vide for congressional reapportion- ment of the state. | The governor demands the exten- sion of the primary bill to all state offices. He says that the primary law “eliminates the domination of the spe- cial interests by placing the people— who are the source of all political , power—in direct control.” He makes | Mo suggestion as to second choice or other features of the bill. In a brief paragraph devoted to the | | Meed for a new corrupt practices act | the governor says that the present act is inadequate. The most vigorous part of the mes- | @age is the discussion of the reappor- | tlonment question. Here the governor | Quotes from the state constitution and | declares that the refusal of the special | session to provide for reapportion- ment would be a deliberate defiance of the right of the people to govern themselves.

The increase in the tax rate is ex pected to increase the revenue from railroads by $1,000,000 a year.
