VOLCANO KILLS 500

pital Buildings Wiped Out
Everybody Saved.

Sydney, N. s. Welcoming steam
ers bring details of the recent volcanic
eruptions on the island of Alnbrim, in
the New Hebrides group, in which 500
natives lost their lives. Witnesses of
the disturbance describe it as having
been so sudden and violent that they
expected to see the western side of the
island disappear.
With terrific roar, which was fol-
lowed by rapid succession of artil-
lery-like detonations, all the craters Of
the volcano entered into full activity,
spouting flames and lava and throw
ing out huge boulders. Great streams
of lava began rushing down the slopes,
cutting off the villagers from escape.
In one instance two torrents of the
molten mass joined, creating an island
of one section of village. Fifty or
60 persons persisted at this point.
The scenes of the volcano at night
were awe-inspiring. Flames shot into
the air to height of thousand feet,
Illuminating the entire scene of de-
struction. The ocean seemed to boil
as huge superheated massec of stone
fell into the sea and streams of lava
poured into the bay. Dust from the
craters gradually formed a black cloud
which blotted out the light of the
stars.
After the eruption the bay was filled
with dead fish and large numbers of
dead turtles. The water in the river
was hot.
The British hospital buildings were
wiped out Of existence, but previous to
their destruction the physicians re-
moved the patients to launch and
escaped with them.

After two months illness from neu
ritis, General Thomas Redding Tan
matt, a pioneer of Oregon and Wash
ington, famous figure in the civil war
and national1 known, died Saturday

February Next.


February Next.
The account for 1913 is rapidly be-
ing cast up, and q glance over the
completed record will show that
while the year has been one of mixed
results, as are all years, the aggre.
gates are considerably better than was
the case with its predecessor. both in
the volume of business transacted by
the merchants, the value of output
from industrial concerns, and the re-
turns accruing to producers and con
sumers generally.
In the field of merchandise distribu.
ton, while some lines and some sea.
sons have shown slump, business In
the aggregate for 1913 appears to be
well up to normal proportions. In
view of the fact that there Is the usual
pre-inventory disposition to keep
stocks within bounds and that the
lumber trade continues quiet, present
iobbing business is very satisfactory.
Lumbermen expect a substantial in
crease in demands around the turn
of the year, and there is every logical
reason to believe that they will be
realized. The short buying during the
fall months leaves yards throughout
the country with limited supply Of
stock, and with resumption Of
building operations and improvements
1t will be necessary that acquisitions
be made upon a comprehensive scale.
It would appear reasonable that such
a development would occur with the
opening of spring at the farthest
There can be no question that the
farming sections of the country are
In prosperous position, probably the
most prosperous in the history of the
country. The crops now practically
marketed were up to the average,
from quantitive standpoint. while,
considering the prices received, they
were among the most valuable ever
harvested, and they should exert q
powerful influence in stimulating de-
mands for building materials.
In February the Panama canal will
be formally opened to traffic, and the
results Of the lowering of freight
rates to the Atlantic seaboard, to-
gether with the demands entailed by
building, consequent upon handling
the influx of new population which
will come to the Pacific coast, make
1t probable, indeed, that the near fu-
ture will witness not only the most
active demands, but the most prosper.

pared with year ago. AS conditions

PASS CURRENCY BILL
GENERAL REVISION OF FiNAN-
cIAl SYSTEM OF UNITED
STATES NOW A LAW.
SENATOR OWEN, SPONSOR, PLEASED
Claims It viii Be Strong Helping
Hand to Country's Farmers and
Producers, as Well as Bank
ers and Business Men.

Washington, D. C.-The administra-
ton currency bill, proposing a revi-
sion of the financial system of the
United States and the creation of re-
gional reserve banks to act as
strengthening elements in the banking
and financial world, passed the senate
by vote of "a to "a.
The conference committees work
was rushed as rapidly as could be
managed. In the house as soon as the
bill was reported by the conferees, a
majority OF the senate amendments
passed without roll call. President
Wilson signed the bill as soon as II
reached him.
The currency bill, as 1t came back
from the senate, contained the same
amendment introduced by Representa-.
tive La Toilette of Washington in the
house and there rejected. providing
for five-year farm loans. In addition,
six months credit Is extended on agri.
cultural paper, such as warehouse re.
ce1pts. The house instructed its con.
ferees to leave these two provisions
in the bill.
This currency BILL. said Senator
Owens, it's sponsor, lis the most i'm.
portant piece Of legislation since the
war. 1t provides a plan for concen
trating reserves of $4,000 banks into
the greatest banking association in the
world.
1T provides for mobilization Of these
reserves and for keeping them liquid
and quickly available in form of cash
1t provides for issuance OF elastic cur
rency through federal reserve notes
which may be put out on security OF
commercial bills on short maturity. II
establishes an open discount market
which America never had before. q
market wherein commercial bills and
paper may be discounted at all times
at low interest rates. It safeguards
the two per cent bonds.
"The bill will standardize CONNER
cial, financial and industrial condi
tons in America, and establishes for
eign branch banks to care for our for
eign commerce. 1t extends a strone
helping hand to the countrys farmers
and producers, and will be invaluable
to business men as well as bankers
themselves"

Cotton Market Breaks.

New York.-There was a sensational
break In the cotton market Monday
under heavy general selling, which fol-
lowed the publication of the census re.
port. The highest published private
estimate of the ginning was around
12,S00,000 bales, and local statisticians
claimed that the. census figures of
12,923,000 pointed very strongly to a
crop considerably in excess of recent
official estimates.
