L.ASsEN PEAK NOW
CLAsSED AS DANGEROUS

Washington, May 21.-The latest
reported outbreak of Lassen Peak,
California, marks a distinct point in
the progressive change in the char
acter of the eruption, according to
geological survey experts and places
Lassen in the category of more or
less dangerous volcanoes. Heretofore,
they say, the eruptions have carried
only boulders and light ashes as black
smoke without illumination. The
latest eruption. however, is reported
as involving genuine lava whose cloud
reflected glow resembles Stromboli,
the active volcano of the Mediterra-
mean. j. S. Diller of the survey has
just received telegram from j. X.
Milford, superintendent of the North
crn California Power company at
Reddings dated May 90, saying:
''Lassen Peak in violent eruption,
$3.50 to 1880 last night. Fire OBJ
served coming from crater. lncandes-
cent ejecta roll down the mountain
side. / observed spectacle from Volta
tten miles from Lassen Peak Many
in Sacramento valley saw the same.
At Manzanita lake tthree miles from
the craterl today storm clouds pre-
vented complete observation"
The latest eruption means, accord
ing to MI. Diller, that the explosions
are getting down into real hot mass
and that the activity is more COM
pletely volcanic.

PEC0S VALLEY GROWERS
FACING REAL PROBLEM

Carlsbad, N. NJ, May 21.-rhe Pc
eos valley peach growers are facing a
real market problem for their crop
this season. Many orchards are bear
ing their first crop, which added to
the crop of the older orchards will
bring the yield up to more than dou
BILE of former years. AS the crop Of
peaches in other sections Is large, the
outlook for good prices like the peach
of the PecOs valley usually has
brought in the past, Is far from prom
Using.
It is likely that good share of the
crop win be sent to the cannery and
that a considerable amount will be
dried, The large canning factory at
Lakewood is centrally located and will
no doubt handle large amount of
the peach crop
The first cutting of alfalfa Is well
under way through the pec0s valley.
The weather so far has been very sat
isfactory and an extra quality of hay
is being made. Just now there is lit
tie demand for hay and many farmers
are stacking this cutting with the ex-
pectation Of feeding cattle and sheep
in the fall and winter
The conditions of the range are ex-
ira good and stock Is doing we'll The
calf crop is coming on nicely Tho
sheep men report satisfactory condi-
lions. though they are not selling wool
at the present prices.
