Fort de France, Island of Martinique
sept o.--Angclo Heilpn, president Of the
Philadelphia Geographical society, who Is
in Martinique in the interest OF the Naiion-
al Geographical Society, has made the fol-
lowing report on the efuptions OF Mount
Pelec.
The scene of destruction in the last
eruption of Mount Pelcc far surpasses that
OF the eruption Of May 3, when ST. Pierre
was destroyed, and includes the broad
area lying between Macouba and Carbct
and involves IIaute Tours de Burden
Bassc Pointc, Mornc Balai and Ajoupa
Buillon, where alone upwards Of 600 per.
sons were killed, as well as Morne Ronsc
with death list Of probably not less than
LOO persons, Morne Capotc and the
heights somewhat this side Of Fonda 81.
Denis, the blast, however leaving the last
named place untouched
Great cindcrs also fell over the region
Of Grand Rvicrc, and Precursor is coy
cred deep with ashes. In Carbet the ashes
lie one foot deep, and nearly the same
amount covers the ruins OF 81. Pierre.
All OF Mornc Rouge, with the exception
OF about four houses and the beautiful
church, has been swept to the ground, and
the greater part OF the town has been
burned up.
At Ajoupa Bullion, where the town has
been prostrated, there is no trace of FIRE
OF any kind.
The destructive blast, instead Of confn-
ing itself to a section Of area, as was the
case during the first eruption, was dis
tributed radially, crossing the low summit
OF the volcano near the knob Of Mornc
Jacob and skipping zones between its rays.
"Thc danger Of Mount Pelcc is thus ma
tcrially increased and perhaps no position
in the north of the island is absolutely
safe.
THE government has judiciously or
dcrcd the evacuation Of all points reached
by radius Of about eight or ten miles
from the crater.
"The recent phenomena was precisely
like that Of May g. death resulting in
most cases from contact with the terribly
swift and hot blast which burned and suf-
focated The sulphur emitted from the
crater during the recent eruptions was
comparatively insignificant, although it
dcnsely added to the ash cloud which
overhowed the Prcchusoy The electrical
illuminations during the storm were won
derful and greatly surpassed those OF
July 9.
Darkness for Six Hours.
During the time | was on the volcano
the afternoon Of the eruption, Mount Pclce
was terribly active, and refuge from flying
bombs had TO lie sought in hole. The
great conc could not be seen.
"On the way to the mountain the party
was enyelopcd in ashes and mud, The de-
struction OF the several towns and locali-
ties was simultaneous, occurring at 0:Io
p. m. There is much uncasincss all over
the Island Of Martinique.
"The illumination of the eruption of
st. Vincent, five miles from here, on the
night of Wednesday, was most terrifying,
and OIL Thursday morning the ash cloud
from St. Vincent volcano carried dark
ness to Fort de France for period of
nearly six hours.
mo details of the casualties on St.
Vincent have yet been received here"

Land Commissioner Eastman's Plan
to Dispose of It.
MORE THAN COUNTIES WANT
He Would Use 1t to Take Up Munici-
pal seeurities-CircuIar
to Auditors.

Special to The Journal.
Pierre, S. d., March 20.-On account of
the large accumulation of the st ate school
fund, Commissioner Eastman is making
an effort to discover what municipal Sc
icurities. can be taken up either through
their maturing or under optional pro-
visions, and be funded into the state
school fund. In this direction there is
certainly an open field for investment for
the state If county and township officials
Will assist in making the state fund reve-
pue producing. Commissioner Eastman
has sept out the following letter to the
various county auditors:
FROM present indications next perma-
nent school fund apportionment will aggre-
gate about 5000, 900, possibly more, which, if
not called for by the respective counties be-
tween the 10th of May and July /, next, OF
that part which is not called for, we shall
be compelled to forward to those counties
not calling for their apportionment.
Our last apportionment aggregated 1926, OS5
OF which amount only $4,000 was voun-
tarlly called for, which compelled US to send
out S167,235 to the counties not applying
To obViate, II possible, the necessity of
again being obliged to send uncalled foI
amounts of this fund we earnestly request
that you use every reasonable effort to place
as much Of the same as possible.
Let us suggest that you ascertain by cor
respondence with the township, school and
city clerks in your county if there are not
outstanding bonds Of their respective NUM-
cipalities, either matured OF containing the
optional clause which would enable them tc
mature or take up the bonds at this time OF
at an early date in the future.
In all cases where the bonds bear pei
cent interest they could be refunded with
the permanent school fund and all Of these
municipalities as we'll as every taxpayer
in the county would be largely benefited
1t would be like taking money out of one
pocket and putting it in your other, instead
of putting it into the pocket Of another
party. -.
Through a law enacted in 1901 you are now
permitted to loan on all classes of municipa
bonds within our state. -

Bismarck, n. D., March 20.-Additional
reports of losses of live stock are being
received in this city, and the total loss
in the section OF Courtenay between
jamestown and zhe Missouri river will
probably be in the neighDorhood OF
thousand head of cattle and perhaps sew
eral thousand sheep.
head of cattle and twenty to two hundred
head of sheep in individual cases have
been received from dozens of small farm
ers whose sheds were insecure. Stock
died from falling roofs and suffocation.
Al the Jackman ranch forty head Of cat
tie belonging to an iowa farmer were
smothered by the falling Of shed.
The report of the loss Of 100 head at the
W. II. Bratton ranch at Sterling Is con-
firmed, and dozens Of other small farm
esr in that neighborhood report losses OF
Ave to twenty head. North of the city
a German farmer lost TOO head of fine
Shropshire sheep, which were feeding on
the prairie when the storm came up, and
were scattered before they could be driven
into shelter. John Bowen of Cromwell
lost forty head Of steers; a ranchman
named McCrory lost 250 head Of sheep,
and Anderson Brothers report loss Of
Is head Of cattle. Charles Trigg con-
fined his sheep in sheds and the snow
drifted SO closely around the sheds that
the air was shut out and many of the
animals smothered.
Over 70 per cent of the losses reported
from this section were caused by defect
I've and insecure sheds, cattle and sheep
dying from suffocatiou. The Hackney
Boynton company, which has several
thousand head of cattle scattered
through the country, came through with
small losses, losing none at their home
ranch. ;, .s-. -. ls.,s - .- an :
UP to the present time no loss Of life
has been reported, although there have
been several cases OF frozen hands and
feet. Anton Trollett and his wife spent
two days during the storm in a straw

en-, though not fatally. . 49,
