OF late the speculations and theory
of Mount Hood being volcano have
been mooted more than once, and the
papers have been filled with accounts
of how, at different times, evidences of
its emitting smoke and ashes have been
brought up; yet there are incredulons
ones, and some even assert that it Is
impossible for a man to gain The sum-
init; but there are well!known persons
of this city who have been to the top,
and not only left evidences of their
visit, but brought away mementoes OF
their trip to show to the unbelievers Of
mans ability to attain the utmost peak
of the majestic mountain. They tell of
a crater that emits foul gasses and sui
phurous smoke, and speak of it's great
depth, being nearly 1000 feet below
the rim that is seen from here on clear
days. In this dark abyss is slumoer-
ing the latent fires of the earth's bosom,
which are ready at any time to burst
forth with all the power aud grandeur
of another Vesuvus. Old residents of
Oregon--among them Rev. J. L. Parish
and others-aver that they have seen
the mountain in an active state, and
seen the ashes fall to the doth of two
inches. Their veracity is not to be
questioned, and only on the supposition
that they might possibly he mistaken
have their stories been discredted, as
old Hood has been quiet so long that
people were apt to look upon it as
something to be proud Of, and not
afraid of But it is volcano, and is
now showing signs OF awakening to life
after its long and quiet slumber. The
earthquakes of the past few years, the
first ever known TO the white settlers
of Oregon, were but the precursors to
an eruption that will sooner or later
take place Reesnt indications, too.
point more directly to an active state,
and its threatened grumbllngs have
been noticed by man. On bright, clear
days, when all is STILL practlced eyes
have often seen tie white, filmy smoke
that issues from the summit and koats
away into the blue ether above. Nor
is this all Another evidence is at
hand to prove It's living. A few nights
since bright light burned all night
steal ly from tie summit, at times so
bright that the flames themselve could
be seen as they shot out OF their crater

bright, lurid glare upon the clouds that
hung like a pail over the far-away Cas-

that Mount Hood is in fact an active,
living volcano, and only waits for the
accumulation OF sufficient gasses, that
will rapidly generate now the vent is
open, to belch forth it's torrents OF lava
and cinders, ashes and sulphur, to

no idle tales, but true accounts OF early
