MORE LIGHTS
FOR THE FOUR
CITY WARDS
THE CITY COMMISSIONER LAST
NIGHT AUTHORIZED THE IN.
STALLATION OF MORE LIGHTS
IN FOUR WARDS.

At the meeting of the city commits
sioners last night, it was ordered
that more lights be added to those
already lighting the city, and the ap-
portionment was made as follows
Four in the Fourth Ward. four in
the Third ward; three in the First
ward, and one in the Second ward.
Petitions from residents of these
districts have been before the city
commissioners for some time, and
after making a thorough investigation
it was found that the lights we're
necessary and were ordered installed.
The commissioners considered the
paving of B street, southwest, and
deferred action until the next regu-
lar meeting. There seems to be a
misunderstanding relative to the cost
of the work. which will be straight
ened out before it comes to a hearing
again.
The regular monthly bills against
the city were audited and allowed.

CROW
ERS PREPAR-
INC FOR CROP
MET YESTERDAY AFTERNOON
AND FORMED A COMMITTEE TO
GET PRICES ON BASKETS AND
MAKE ARRANGEMENTS.

Yesterday afternoon the fruit grow
ers of this city, Lone Grove and Prov
ence, met at the Chamber of Com
merce, and committee was appoint
ed to secure prices on baskets and to
get in communication with buyers for
the seasons crop Practically all the
fruit growers of this section were
present, and after a brief discussion,
it was decided to let the temporary
officers selected at a previous meet
ing, retain office for the present.
Indications point to an immense
fruit crop in this section this season,
and, profiting by mistakes made by
the growers in the past, the new or
ganization proposes to see that the
crop is marketed and delivered to
the buyers in good condition. For
that reason they are making an early
start, and hope to have everything in
readiness by the time the crop is
ready to gather. As soon as the com
mittee appointed to arrange for de-
tails gets the necessary information.
another meeting will be called 10 hear
their report.

London. May 26.-Austria has
struck first with her navy and air
craft along Italy's east coast; Italy
promptly countered by throwing a
the northeastern frontier and occu-
pying a stretch of Austrian territory
along the river Isonzo. Thus, although
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg, who
has a reputation for forcing matters,
is reported to be in command of
the German troops along the new
front, Italy in a sense has forestalled
him.
Rome officially announces that the
Italians have occupied number of
comparatively important towns and
have compelled the Austrians to re-
treat. This, in brief, summarizes the
first thirty-six hours of the newest
phase of the ever widening European
conflict
The rapid stroke of the Italian army
would seem to bespeak long prepar-
alton. ttaring out what the press OF
the allied countries contended months
ago, that Italy would throw in her
lot with the entente and was only
waiting for an opportune time.

ASHES FALL HERE
W.P. WELL AFFECTED

Saturday night about eleven o'clock
spray of ashes from Mt. Lassen
volcano began to fall in Elko, and
continued for several hours. Reports
from Winnemucca are to the effect
that a quarter of an inch of ashes fell
there, and Reno is said to be covered
to a depth of several inches. Today
the atmosphere is heavy and depress-
ing.
The artesian we'll at the w. P.
roundhouse has ceased to flow water,
and 1t is believed to have been af-
fected by the internal disturbance of

about eighty gallons to the minute
over the top of the pipe, and with a
pump 1t was made to flow a much
greater amount than this. Within the
last few days the water has lowered
about fifty feet, and a few minutes
work with the pump pumped it dry.

MARCONI MAKES
GREAT INVENTION

William Marconi, inventor of the
wireless telegraph. made it known be,
fore sailing for Italy. says the Even,
ing World. that he has invented an
apparatus by means of which it is pos
sible for a person standing beside a
solid partition. such as a brick wall,
to look through the partition and OBJ
serve what is happening on the other
side. just as If there were no obstacle
interposed to the vision.
Mr.. Marconi is quoted as saying
that the device has been perfected to
the point where persons in a room can
see persons in an adjoining room,
looking through the wall, if the per-
sons viewed are close to the wall, but
at distance from the wall they be-
come blurred. The possibilities for
evil involved in the apparatus, it is
asserted, have made Mr.. Marconi re-
luctant to make known his invention.

In Frenzy of Excitement.
Redding was pitched into a frenzy
of excitement. Fire bells tolled, peo-
pic rushed from homes and build
ings, streets wee deserted in the
business section, roofs were crowded
and business was suspended until the
activity of the peak subsidized at 6
p m.
Definite details of the destruction
wrought were lacking, only meager
news coming over telephone wires to
Redding, which is AZ miles from the
mountain. Reports came over the tele-
phone from Montgomery creek of the
flight of families from Hat Creek val
ley and of the enormous size of the
mud flow.
Dozens of Dwellings Lost.
Dozens of dwellings and the best
farming and stock land of the valley
lay directly in the channel of the
flow. By o'clock the flood of mud
and lava had reached and submerged
the ranch of Wilbur Wilcox. It's
people had escaped. driving their
livestock before them.
Four distinct streams which pour-
ed over the crest of the peak united
and converted Lassen's side, which
was covered with a fresh blanket of
snow this morning, into a black
desolate waste. The united streams
poured on into Hat Creek valley,
still chicken and Uttered with the
refuse Of destruction wrought by the
earlier eruptions.
Charles Opdyke and Fred Larkin,
who set out early in the day to in
vesugate in the danger zone, were
driven back by the gas reported to
mosphere. They were reported to
have narrowly escaped being over
come.
A report from the power station at
Cow creek said that one side of the
volcano had been blown off and top
pied into the lake near the base of
the crater the water displaced add
ing to the flood.
So far the volcano flow has been
confined to Hat Creek valley and ad-
jacent valleys are considered i'm.
mune from danger unless the subter-
rsnean forces hurl rocks and lava
