Scientist Proposed Road to Strange Alaska Valley Thomas B. Drayton In the Philadel phia Public Ledger. " SEWARD, Alaska. The report of the Bdentlno observations of the party under the leadership of Profes sor Griggs ot the Ohio State univers lty, which reoently made an extended visit to'Katmat volcano and the "Val ley ot Ten Thousand Smokes," will be ot less Interest to the ordinary Alaskan and thm nrtHnrv tmirlat thiui thn professor's suggestion of an automo bile road from tidewater, eighteen s miles to the scene ot these inconceiv able magnificent works of nature. The "smokes" are clouds or Jets ot steam. The entire valley gradually Is becoming solid under foot. Many square miles covered with semi-liquid hot mud a year ago may now be crossed on foot In perfect safety. The valley has three arms, in one of which is a glacier that is rapidly melting. The waters from this glacier run through a basin into a declivity that has become-a lake of almost boiling water. The adjoining arm Is a good place to avoid Just at present, as down its mountain face immense boulders i constantly are tumbling, being broken oft thousands of feet above, near the snow capped peaks by variations of temperature. Among purely commercial attrac tions ot the valley are vast deposits of virtually pure sulpur, arsenic and other chemicals. Gold as also been found in the vicinity. One of- the most interesting scientific features of the investigations is the possibility that the uncovering of external -surfaces by the Immense eruption ot 1912 at Katmai may disclose the constituent elements of the Interior of the earth, according to scientists in the party.

WELTERWEIGHTS TAK8 LIMELIGHT IN BOXINQ (By Associated Press) NEW YORK, Jan. 8 Boxing enthusiasts today had their attention diverted temporarily from the proposed Carpentler-Dempsey bout by reports that Jack Brit ton, welterweight cham pion of America, would meet the winner of the bout between Kid LewIs and Johnny Basham for the English title this month. English, promoters have offered Brltton 112,600 to box in London in March. Brltton is also said to have received an offer ot $20,000 from C. B. Cochrane, the English promoter, now in this country, to box the winner ot the Lewls-Basham affair. INDEPENDENTS WIN. Another victory was added to Its list when the Centerville Independents trimmed the visiting Conersville quintet by a 27 to 27 score, Thursday eveled his team In the scoring by annexing six field goals, Myers led the Connorsvllle aggregation with twelve points to his credit.

These were the slugging infielders of the league. Detroit showed the way in outfields, Cobb leading the league, with Veach, Flagstead and Shorten right up close throughout the season. One result of so much talk of tremendous pursea for the Dempseycarpentier match will be a swarm of new talent. The white hope craze brought out young heavyweights in I swarms, although at that time no one thought that there ever would be a match that promised to attract a mil lion dollar gate. Already a number of promising novices have appeared and by the end of the winter one of them may have forged into the contender class. A majority of the white hopes were lumbering giants, because the idea prevailed that only a giant would have a chanca to lick Jack Johnson. The new crop Is composed of much lighter men, Dempsey having Bhown that speed is more valuable than bulk.

Ruth is under control for 1920 and J 1921 at a salary of $12,000 a year, but his manager recently announced on the coast that Ruth would not report to Boston unless he got a new contract for $20,00 next season.

GREAT BRITAIN FACES

1920 WITH OPTIMISM SAYS TRADE REPORT (By Associated Press) LONDON. Jan. 3 The people of Great Britain look forward to a new yir full of financial and political dif ficulties but with greater optimism than they would have thought pos sible a few months ago. A "new, world fit for heroes to live In" which was an ideal of the war has not yet been fully attained at home and international problems which brought on the war still are hanging over the head of the nation. Yet the British people are trying to face the future in an invincible faith in the nation's ability to conquer all troubles. ' Premier Cheerful The most cheerful optimist of all is Premier Lloyd George. Under the leadership of his unflagging faith that everything will work out for the best, the clouds of despondency, pictured by the newspapers as thickest when the chancellor of the exchequer declared that, the nation -was heading for bankruptcy, say Britons, have visibly lifted. A foremost cause for confidence is steady commercial revival and cessation of labor troubles, which Britons hope will continue. These give ground for prediction by optimists that Great Britain will . return to normal conditions sooner than other great European countries which engaged in the war. Manufacturers in many lines have business booked far ahead. The cotton trade, one of the basic British industries. Is said to have all the orders it can fill for the next five years. Shipbuilders Happy Shipbuilders say they are in the same happy condition. They have yet to be convinced that America will be able to take away the former British supremacy in the carrying trade. They base their confidence on the belief that while the British are a sea-faring race, the Americans are not. Apparently they believe that American ships built in the war are destined to be bought eventually by distinctly maritime nations. Their confidence however, is not iron-clad. ' Lord Incheape told the shareholders of one Great Britain1 steamship company that, if the American government turned over its ships to private owners. Great Britain need not be afraid, but if the American people were to be taxed to build up their mercantile marlne, the outlook for shipping industry in tnese lsianus was notnmg dui rosy. Business Expansion Ahead. British bankers and merchants look forward to a great increase of business with South America in 1920. They expect to hold their pre-war customers and to gain much 'of what Germany lost. They profess to discount the prospect that the United States will acquire control of the South American field. Many nations are anxious to buy from Great Britain. How some of them can pay is a problem. The decline in exchange rates had a depressing effect on American trade but exchange with France, Italy and smaller markets is favorable to Great Britain. Against these reasons for business confidence stand two handicaps In the form of financial and labor conditions. The national debt appears appalling to the British public but optimists argue that it is smaller than was the debt after the Napoleonic wars, measured by the country's wealth and potential producing power. Some Propose Levy. The question of clearing the decks by some form of a capital levy is still at the front and may be one of the burning political questions of the year. The nationalization of mines and railways is another British probleia and with it are linked questions of hours and wages which confront all industries alike and which England shares with America. It has been said that Great Britain's recovery after the Napoleonic wars was possible through underpaid labor but British employers do not expect this to be among the assets of the future. On the contrary, many industrial leaders say BritVh industry is facing a question whether the steady increase In wages may not become a dangerous handicap In competition with other countries. Baseball League Planned for Central Ohio Cities COLUMBUS. Ohio, Jan. 3. RegardLleps of whether there is p, revival of tho old Central league, central Ohio baseball fans will not bo without a baseball league of the highest caliber. According to present plans the league will embrace Columbus, Dayton, Springfield and Zsnesville, for a certainty. Marion. Lime, Chillicothe, Delaware, Lancaster and Newark, are being considered for the other vacancies. The league will not " be under the national agreement, but instead will be under the jurisdiction of the National Baseball Federation, which will permit the league winners to compete in an inter-city series in the fall with the city champions of Pittsburg, Johnstown, Pa., Cleveland, Detroit, Cincinnati, Indianapolis, New Orleans, Minneapolis, St. Paul, Kansas City and Omaha.

Phantom Horses Still Walk Dublin's Streets (James Stephens, in the Irish Edition ot the London Times) Once, before the electric trams came, Dublin seemed a noisy city; a city of cobblestone's and of mighty horses that clashed Knarks out of the same cobbles. Carriage horses, dray horses, outslde-car horses (the for eigner calls them "side-cars," but the inhabitant would be ashamed to refer to them otherwise than as "out-side-cars.") The city neighed. in those days; it snorted and whinnied; it champed on its bit; it jingled brazen harness; it tossed its nosebag in the air to shake the last oats from the southernmost recess of the bag; about its ears were birds Innumerable; birds popped and hepped under its legs, winning the easiest existence that fate has vouchsafed to feathers. There were jenus in charge ot the gorgeous monsters, and they - were marvelous as their own horses; purple-chapped, spiky-jowled, wide-smiled, hard-eyed, imperturbable ancients; caparisoned, not clothed, ln frieze many caped coats, balancing hard, shiny hats on one side of their heads and with huge, hairy, chilblalny hands. They chewed tobacco, their mouths were all to one side, and they had great yellow teeth, two of which wabbled. A nose-red city half as old as time. In the fanlight over every door there were small plaster horses with one leg up, witn Dotn ears cocked, witn interrogative manes. The city was on tiptoe, it was alert, vivid, it was a sparkling eye, it was a hoof! But conversation languished under the menace of those thudding, deeplywhiskered fetlocks. Dublin was a silence in a tempest, as it is now a solitude in a multitude. Trams Replace Horse. The electric trams came and a new era. That Dublin is as remote as the stone age. The horses disappeared, the birds are searching vainly elsewhere for a like city of nosebags, a city of dreams. Only here and there will you now see a plaster horse in a fanlight; and Dublin, silent under the dashing of those hooms, has not yet recovered from the silence they had ; forced upon it. The streets then werei thronged, men and women went outj then to look at the horses, to drown l themselves in the uproar and menace of the horses, and to this day the Dublin people do not speak ln the streets, but they talk much in private and are the most voluble race of silent people that the world has ever known.

L Professor MacalUster considers that

the prehistoric Irish totem was "horse, and . perhaps .. Dublin Is yet mourning her vanished steeds, ror to this day . her people do not use the streets for any social purpose except funerals.' , It is a haunted city. The ear of a stranger, halted at midnight in those deserted ways, will catch a sound driving towards him which '.never comes near; he will hear a rumble which will not materialize. He will stand waiting for the vehicle that will never come. It will be long ere he realizes, as all Dublin people do. that at midnight the whosts of long dead horsetrams revise the phases ot the moon. ; If a finger should touch his eye he would see again a spanking city and hear once more the thunder of the hoofs. The stranger steals to his hotel with his overcoat padded protectively about him and his umbrella at the ready. He is glad to get back to London, where the streets are full, and away from empty Dublin, where the streets are too full. Records show that dwarfs have been, known. to live to the patrlarchial age of ninety-seven years, " where giants usually die comparatively young. "DRECO HAS DONE THEWORKFORME" Is full of energy and vitality since he gets . good sleep every night Has big appe tite and stomach digests folly. Rheumatism relieved. Big Improvement in Local Man since he took Dreco, the great Root and Herb Remedy. The plan of advertising the new medicine Dreco is so open and above board and shows such honesty of purpose on the part ofthe owners, it is small wonder that Dreco has sprung into such popular favor everywhere It is introduced. You frequently read tho testimonials-printed by medicine companies from persons living in distant cities but with Dreco we print tho testimonials from persons residing close by many right here in the city, giving their street address, 60 if every word you read about Dreco was not true, we would soon be exposed. Here is one of the recent statements received from a responsible home town man. He is Mr. J. Gregg, who lives on R. R. C, Richmond, Ind and says "Dreco has surely done me a lot of good. My liver is active again so that I don't have that tired, drowsy, noaccount feeling nor dizzy spells. The pains in my limbs, arms and back are all gone. My stomach Is acting fine, digesting everything I eat without causing gastritis, pains or uneasiness. I sleep all night long and awake refreshed 'and full of energy. No medicine ever helped me like Dreco has and for that reason I recommend it to others. Dreco is the pure liquid extract oJ many different roots, herbs, barks and leaves, which act on the vital organs of the " human body. After taking Dreco it Is noticed that the stomach is soothed and the gassy condition eliminated; the liver becomes active, relieving headaches and that dull tiredout feeling; nerves are quieted which induces sound sleep; the kidneys are strengthened; appetite increased; bowels act with ease and regularity and the whole system takes on renewed energy, vigor and vitality. Dreco is harmless, pleasant to take and the effects are quickly felt. Mr. Powers, the well known Dreco expert, has headquarters at Thistlethwaite's Drug Store, to meet the local public and explain the merits of this greater remedy. See him today. Adv.
