MT. ST. HELENS FIRED UP
Marvellous Gush of Hot Air From
the Old Mountain.

That Mount St. Helens belched
forth smoke, fire and molten masses
of rock while Portland trembled be-
meath an earthquake shock. is declar.
ed by John Connors, superintendent
Of the Gold Grown quartz mine.
1t was on the afternoon of Septem-
ber 10, that slight earthquake shock
was felt all over the Northwest
Pacific Coast. Simultaneously, ac.
cording to Mr.. Conners, who clans to
have been an eye witness, Mount st.
Helens resumed active eruption after
years of inactivity
. II was about O'Clock in the after
noon, "Mr Conners said, "when an
explosion like cannonade.alarmed us
at the mine, on the slope of Mount
st. Helens. With others / ran out of
our tunnel to see boulders coming
down the mountain side back of our
cabin, We each broke for the protec-
tion of a big fir tree to avoid being
struck and remained in our places of
refuge until the earth became still
again.
"There was sulphurous smell in
the air during the afternoon and even

"Our cabin is about six miles from
the old crater of Mount ST. Helens,
but we could not see the summit on
account Of the heavy timber. The

" Mount St Helens is by no means
a dead volcano, as numbers Of men
employed at our mine and at the
Swedish mine, not far away, can
testify from the experience of the
10Th Of September.
THE whole country around US is
covered with a recent deposit of vol
canio ashes. When one walks along
the mountain side, the earth quivers
as a gigantic liver would when being
trod upon. This shows that the
mountain has been in eruption in re-
cent years and that it is likely to
break out again at any moment "
On Septmebcr 10, an earthquake
startled many Of the people Of Port
land, especially those seated in the
offices Of the taller buildings. Mr..
Conners says tins shock originated!in
the crater of st. Helens, SO miles
northward Of this city. The isola-

OREGON CAN RAISE GOATS
An Industry in Which This County
Might Share More Largely.

A new industry is offering itself to
the farmers and manufacturers of the
United States. The fact that S95, 600,
600 worth of goatskins are now annu-
ally imported in the United States,
and that her enterprising manufacture
ers are not Obliged to send halfway
around the world for large share of
them suggests that the farmers of the
country have great opportunity to
put large share of this sum in their
own pockets, and that the entire sum
may be divided between our producers
and manufacturers
A statement just presented by the
Department of Commerce and Labor,
through the Bureau of Statistics,
shows that importations of goatskins
into the United States are now run
ming at the rate of S25, 600, 600 per
annum and that large share of these
are brought from India, China, Ara
bia and Southeastern Russia The
increasing popularity of certain class
es of kid leather for footwear, as we'll
as gloves, has increased very greatly
the demand for goatskins in the
United States within recent years In
1885 the value of goatskins imported
was about 81, 900, 900, by 1890 it had
grown to 80, 600, 900 by 1898 it was
sl5, 600, 600, in 1900 it was see, 900, 600
and in 1908, %, 900, 600 in round num-
bers.
OF this large sum of money sent out
of the country to purchase goatskins,
81, 600 went to India, nearly
80, 900, 900 to China, $25, 900, 600 to
France, s., 600, coo to Russia, $40, 900,
600 to Brazil, 81, O0O 600 to Argentina,
and 81, 000, 900 to Arabia. From India,
which took less than So, 600, 600, worth
of merchandise of all kinds from the
United States last year, and has in
creased her purchases from us less
than -, 600, 600 in a decade, we have
increased our importations of goat
skins alone from 50, $50, 600 i'll 1892 to
ST., 800 900 in 1902. From Brazil,
which has reduced her imports from
the United States from Sl5, 900, 600
in 1895 to 10, 600, 600 in 1908, our pur-
chases of goatskins last year were IL,
800, OO0 France, Russia, the United
Kingdom. Turkey in Europe and Tur-
key in Asia, Arabia, China, Southern
Africa, Argentina and Mexico also
contributed literally to the supply of
gotskins to make up the SEQ, 900, 900
worth of this produce in the United
States annually.
