Explosion of Mount Lassen Menaced
Hat Creek Valley in California
With Destruction.

Redding, Cal. May 24.-Hat Creek
Valley. threatened last night by the
most violent eruption of Lassen Peak
in recent years, has been saved. The
flood of mud which followed the dis
turbances changed its course and the
main mud flow. was carried into the
old lava fields.
Just previous to the eruption the
entire valley was shaken by strong
earthquake. No damage from this
source has been reported.
The smoke cloud following the erup-
tion rose five. miles and was three
miles across at the top, according to
estimates made by civil engineer.
The fash of the explosion and the de-
tonation which accompanied it were
like those of siege gun incredibly
magnif1ed.

MAY HURT AMERICAN TRADE
Washington Fears New Declaration OF
War Will Affect Commerce
Switzerland Cut OF.

Washington, May 24.-Italy's decla'
ration Of war on Austria created a
sensation In official and diplomatic
quarters here, for while the announce
ment was not unexpected the addition
of another power of the nation to the
number of belligerents in Europe
brought out variety of speculation
on the military effect of the new OPP
erations on the conflict as whole,
and the possible attitude OF Rumania,
Bulgaria and Greece.
1t is taken for granted in diplomatic
quarters here that as result of the
declaration of war against Austria,
Germany and Turkey as the allies OF
that country, will announce state OF
war with Italy. Switzerland then will
look after Germanys interests in
Rome, while the United States is ex'
pected to take charge Of Italian in
terests in Berlin and Constantinople.
One of the subjects on which infor-
nation is awaited with much interest
is the attitude of Italy toward the ma
val operations of the allies, whether
Italy will subscribe to the order-in-
council making all commercial inter-
course with Germany and Austria
through the Mediterranean and wheth-
err the same rigid rules as to contra
band will be enforced by the Italian
fleet as by the Anglo-French fleet.
The situation of Switzerland is like
ly to be cause of much concern, for
should the same rules as to ultimate
destination of cargoes be put into. eff
feet with respect to shipments con-
signed for trans-shipment through
Italian ports as imposed by the allies.
the little republic, isolated in the CEN
ter of Europe without sea outlet may
suffer seriously. Already there has
been much difficulty in getting sup
plies to Switzerland and it is believed
Switzerland will press hard for ar
with the French and Ital-
ian governments to obtain products,

N TOWNSHIP.

There has been agitated tor
some time, and l might add
that it is a universal issue, if
we might call tit such, and the
same is being turned over and
over again in the minds of the
citizens of our great common
wealth by both women and
men. In short it is the ques-
ton of rights. Don't under
stand me to say, or even intim-
ate that l allude to woman's
rights exclusively. I am not
telling you what to do when
you unfold the ballot, nor am 1
capable of being your instruct
or. This is the land of the
free and the brave; 90 we go
back to the subject-rights.
l am only giving you my
view of the situation in brief,
and if l fail to see clearly will
some one put me right. We
will first take the home.
Home to me means the Tur-
tie Mountains. it's tributary
villages or towns and all that
in them is. We have a right to
make our home what we wish
it to be. In order to do so we
must keep az much of our hard
earned coin at home as is poss-
ible or practicable. l am not

Unless all signs fail, the one

Our mills are running to full
capacity; our crops are bump

with money; our people en-

things for Europe to eat, and
wear and shoot. We shall have
great prosperity.
With prosperity comes the
