railroad so miles away. Three peaks
in rough circle on the summit mark
the broken-down walls Of the ancient
crater. Between them is hollow 500
feet deep, the dlled-up mouth Of the
subterranean passage to the fires be-
low. Until this summer this hollow
has always been filed with snow, but
the reopening Of the crater near the
lowest point of the depression and the
violent eruptions of steam have melted
away this healing covering over the
ancient scar.
Geysers Fill Old Crater.
Lassen peak may be approached
from any one of three sides, from
Manzanita lake on the northwest, from
the head of Kings creek on the east,
and from Battle creek meadows on
the south. The best of all the routes
is from the south because that way
leads through the remarkable collec-
ton of active volcanic phenomena
spread over the entire south slope OF
the mountain.

RuIlna on MIX Bottle Law.

At the instance of former Governor
w. D. Hoard, Attorney General Wal
ter c. Owen rendered an opinion TO
State Dairy and Food Commissioner
J. @. Emery in which he holds that
the specific statute requiring that milk
bottles shall be clearly blown or other
wise permanently marked takes pre-
Jag to labelling. The specific statute in
question requires that all milk bottles
shall be clearly blown or otherwise
clearly marked on the side of the bot
tie, the capacity Of the bottle and the
word Sealed" and on the side or bot
tom of the bottle, the name, initials or
trademark of the manufacturers, and
a designating number to be furnished
by the state superintendent of weights
and measures. When these provisions
had been complied with, Mr.. Hoard
desired an opinion as to whether the
bottle must be also labeled and the at
torney general holds that the general
statute does mot apply to the sale of
milk and cream in bottles, but that
such sales are governed by the provi-
sions of the general statute"
In an opinion to Secretary Of State
John s. Donald, the attorney general
ruled that an amendment made to the
articles OF incorporation of the Ur-
banck and Wattawa company were not
in compliance with the corporation
law.

Fire At state Fair Grounds.

Fire Of unknown origin starting un-
der the old grand stand at the state
fair grounds and destroyed ten build
ings and the grand stand, causing q
loss estimated at $4,000. The loss Is
fully covered by insurance.
What caused the fire is unknown. II
was the sixth blaze discovered under
the grand stand by the Waterman or
the park. The first FIVE had been ex-
tinguished by the employees or the
park. On one occasion the West Allis
fire department had been summoned,
but before they arrived the employees
had extinguished the blaze.
Shortly before the fire burst forth
three explosions were heard by Super
intendent M. ]. Sweeney. Immediate
ly after the entire grand stand was
ablaze. What caused the explosion Is
a mystery to the officials. 1t is prob
able that a cigar stub started the
blaze.
The West Allis fire department was
summoned, but before they reached
the grounds the fire had communicated
to the county exhibition building, the
main band stand and the poultry build
ing
It was seen that these buildings
were doomed and the f1remen turned
their attention to saving the buildings

the firemen climbing to the roof and
chopping out the burning parts.
While the West Allis fire depart
ment was coping with the blaze on the
south end of the park in their attempts
to prevent it from setting fire to the
larger and newer buildings such as
the machinery hall valued at $23,OOOr
the amphitheater valued at $4,000 and
the educational building valued at $15.-
900, the flames spread to the smaller
buildings to the north.
First, the agricultural building was
destroyed. 1t was quickly followed by
the college of agriculture, the art
building, the woman's building and the
farmers dining room.
Seeing that the fire was getting be-
yond the control Of the West Allis de.
partment and would probably spread
to every building on the grounds, an
appeal was sent to the Milwaukee de-
partment and several pieces Of appat
ratus were sent to the grounds.

All of the company were in good shape and the Enthusiasm of the audience was communica ted to the actors The thea ter was crowded more than it has been during the present engagement although capacity nights have been frequent. Temporary seats had to bs arranged for many persons. Upper as well as lower boxes were filled.

WHAT SHE WANTS MOST.

Give her a Hoosier kitchen cabinet for Christmas this year. She may be either your wife or mother or any one that is very dear to you. Count the needless steps she is taking every day that would be saved if she had one of the famous Hoosier cabinets Saving time and energy in the home is just as important as saving it in business. If a man had to jump up and run to a pantry every time he wanted to write a letter or get a stamp or dip his pen he would soon be bankrupt. A woman's whole kitch- en is at her fingers ends if she has a Hoosier cabinet The special club of fer made in Nothnagle's advertise ment on last page puts them easily within everyone's reach. This is a remarkable opportunity which you should investigate at once. Sold ex- cIusive1y in Bridgeport and vicinity by Nothnagle's busy store.-Adv.
