Red Bluff, Cal, July /, 1914.

Red Bluff, Cal, July 1, 1914.
Editor Tidings Thinking perhaps
the people of Ashland would be inter-
ested to know the latest news con-
corning the much-talked-of Mount
Lassen by one who was an eye wit
ness to its greatest explosion, l will
try to describe yesterdays eruption,
which occurred about 11:15 a. m.
We were notified by telephone that
Mount Lassen was in. eruption. On
reaching the street, where we had an
excellent view, most wonderful py-
rotechnic display met our vision. The
black smoke, lava and steam was
shooting upwards to a distance of a
mile or more. There was a series of
explosions of tar-black smoke at in
tervals of every few minutes, num-
bering eight or ten in the course of
half an hour. Then the black smoke
drifted away, leaving a clear streak
of steam which shot upward like a
fountain spray about one hundred
feet high.
1t was reported to be the heaviest
eruption yet witnessed, and while it
belched forth much lava and smoke
no blaze came from it yesterday, but
there was another, which occurred
about 5 o'clock this morning, which
poured forth fire as we'll as ashes.
While the people of Red Bluff look
on in awe-stricken wonder, they have
no fear, as it is fifty miles from the
peak and no particle of lava or ashes
has yet made its appearance here.

of Ager, crossing over the Slskiyous.
He informed the Tidings that he met
Fred Garrett (alias Dingy) over on
Green Spring working on the Holt
ranch. "Dingy" was astride of a
bucky broncho and wore chaps, and

Ashland park and canyon were

of the party left Friday evening and
reached Longs Cabin for the nights

hours of the morning, most of them
started on up to the top, with the
intention of reaching it to see the
sunrise. Many reached the top by
4 o'clock in the morning, but the sun
rose behind haze and the effect was
not as beautiful as might have been
expected after such hard climb.
However, as soon as the hazy clouds
drifted away the sight was beautiful.

1880 p. m. eighty-seven has signed
their names. The afternoon was
spent in having a good time on top
of the mountain, insliding on the
snow, shooting firecrackers and roll

At night the party camped on top
of the peak, and in the morning one

members of Hope Rebekah Lodge en-
joyed another of their good times in
Chautauqua park, in the nature of a
picnic supper in honor of Mr.. and
Mrs. Marble, who are to leave Tues
day for their old home in Nebraska.
The Marbles will be greatly missed
by this organization socially and
otherwise, as Mrs. Marble has been
captain of the degree staff for year
or more and her services, so cheerful
ly rendered, have been more than
appreciated by those who had the
pleasure of working with her. After
the well-filled baskets were emptied,
speeches were made by different
Ones, with responses by both Mr.. and
Mrs. Marble, and at this time they
presented the lodge with beautiful
framed picture of one of Ashland's
/ beauty spots, which shows the real
artistic work of Mrs. Marble. The
painting is to be hung in the rest
room that is now being fitted up in

crowd seemed averse to breaking up
and it was nearly 10 o'clock when
they took "the Marbles" home.

GOOD WISHES EXTENDED
THE TELEGRAM ON ITS
BIRTHDAY WEEK

Editor Telegram: Congratulations
upon the successful completion of
The Lakeland Evening Telegram s
third year. Your birthday notice in
the evening issue caused me to
glance back over the two years that
l have had the pleasure OF reading
the paper. With others wish to
congratulate you upon its success
and upon the stand which it is ac-
customed to take in matters pertain
ing to the uplift of the town.
The invention of the printing press
gave a new element of power to man.
Since that hour not the arm but the
brain, not the soldier but the
thinker, not kings but books, maya
zines and papers have been making
most rapid progress in the ruling OF
1.-THE world. Sheets as silent as the
snowflake, as powerful as the light
ming are the weapons keen-edged
and bright which the press gives to
the world in its fight against dark
ness and sin.
Here's wishing the Evening Ieie-
gram that the fourth year OF us eA-
istence may be its best year up-to-
date; and that it may have many
more years of prosperity. And tha'
| as it grows in prosperity it may a'so
grow in might and power against
the wrongs that continually Dese'
! live and growing cities such as Lake
kland.
Very sincerely,
w S. PATTERSON.
