Enterprising motion picture produo era, following scientific expeditions In to the strange valley, have returned here with Alms of the myriad "smokes" and with reports of a shorter and eas ier route Into the district. Whwi the Katniul volcano erupted In 1012 and covered thousands of square tulles with ash and pumice, killing all vegetation and game and wiping out more than one .settlement, it cwa# regarded1 Mi a great calamity. But the eruption uncovered a strange formation which Is declared to be oue of the wonders of the world. The "smokes," literally thousands of them, are clouds or Jets of steam under various pressures, emitted from hole* and remarkably colored caverns In the solidified volcanic clay. The entire val ley, which is shaped somewhat like a, clover leaf, seems to be gradually so lidifying. The Indian who recently guided a motion picture i>arty said many square miles, covered- with seml llquid hot mud a year ago, are now crossed without dHflculty. In one of the three arms of the val ley Is a "live" glacier, at the foot of which is a beautiful cobalt-blue lake of hot water. In another arm Is the Falling mountain, down whose face roll continually huge boulders broken off near the snow-capped peaks by va riations of temperature.' Besides (he scenic possibilities the valley is said to possess vast deposits of virtually pure sulphur, arsenic and other chemicals. /Mack sand was found in the many streams indicating possi bilities of gold.

HAS 2 INDEPENDENCE DAYS Republic of Ecuador Celebrated August Tenth and October Ninth as National Holidays. - The Republic of Ecuador celebrates two national Holidays, and both are "Independence days," according to the Pan-American Union. The liberty-loving put riots had to shoot two bolts at Spanish domination before they succeeded In gaining per manent independence. The first time they had a quiet but determined revo lution in Quito, the present capital of the republic, the patriots assembling at the house of Manuela Canlrares, a brave and beautiful woman, on August 5. 1809,. when they prepared their declaration of Independence and chose the officials who were to compose the provishuial government. That night the conspirators gathered their forces in different parts of the city and Cap tain Salinas, who commanded the two companies of regular troops that guard ed the city, went to their barracks, read to them the declaration and won them over to the cause of the patriots. They overpowered the bodyguard of Ruiz de Castilla, the Spanish governor, early on the morning of August 10 and thus established the first republic without shedding a drop of blood. It lasted only about a year, when Castil la succeeded in overthrowing the pa triotic government and again brought the country under Spanish dominion. . The fires of liberty had been kin dled, however, .and the Ecuadoreans kept up their horolc struggle, notwith standing many reverses, until in 1820 the people of Guayaquil, the leading seaport of the country, succeeded in rebelling on the ninth of October. With the aid of Gen. Simon Iiolivar, the great Venezuelan emancipator, and of his compatriot, Gen. Antonio Jose Sucre, the Ecuadoreans, after many bloody battles, succeeded in com pletely annihilating the Spanish forces and established freedom In Ecuador forever. Therefore it Is that the Ecua doreans celebrate two "Independence days," the tenth of August and the ninth of October. Housecleaning Hedgehog#. It is said that when In cainp during the winter the woodsmen of Maine en tertain many strange guests ? blue Jays, chickadees, wood mice and hedge hogs among them. One woodsman on leavlnp the camp on a Saturday aft ernoon used to neglect purposely to close the door of his shark In order that the hedgehogs might enter and clean his floor. Inasmuch as the principal constitu ents of the camp menu are pork and beans, baron and other dishes rich In fat. grease Is spilled upon the floor In a week and a hedgehog will risk his neck for r bit of fat. Just ns soon, therefore, as this par ticular camp was deserted by Its oc cupants the spiny gluttons would has ten in and begin to plane off the sur face of the floor with their chlsellike teeth, eating away all the wood that held a trace of grease. On his return to camp the owner could sweep up and enjoy the comforts of a clean houRe for another week. The only se rious objection to this method of housecleaning lay In the fact that it j was necessary to lay a new camp floor i frequently. i Relndeder Meat. The former United States commis sioner at Saint Michael, Alaska, Wil- ! ilam B. Stephenson, writes in his new hook about Alaska, "The Land of To morrow," that "the reindeer reaches of the far North are destined to solve the meat question for the United States." "Reindeer breeding, is fast becom ing an important facTfcr, and here again one must* revert to the land. Reindeer need space, for they are the beef of Alaska and must have pas* turage. This pasturage Is always to he had. Reindeer steaks ara and have been for a long time regularly Quoted on the Seattle markets. That they will one day figure conspicuously in our meat supply cannot be questioned. Already the big packing concerns have sent their representatives to look over the ground. There is one drawback to this industry, however, which will have to be adjusted and regulated be fore It can become profitable. The cost of shipping is now prohibitive. Alaska now has 100,000 reindeer. With in the next ten years she will have 8,000,000." | The Lerot and the Snake. t Every one has heard of the remark able cembats of Hie Indian mongoose with venomous snakes, In which little rlkkltikki-tavvi comes off victor.
