'Tis desert land they call it,
Draped in all pervading grief,
Midst the desert thorn and briar,
Near a sterile bluff Of clay.

Gladdened by the CHASTITY smile

Offers friendship, desert style.

There some prehistoric geyser
In its feverish, playful mood,
Filled some ancient submerged valley

All! how prone the human fancy,

Is to penetrate the ages
With zest that never tires;

Speechless, nameless, mystery born,

Why the world and whence its charm?
As / stood, my mind projecting
Into the unexplored retreat,
I, like many, was neglecting
What was lying at my feet.
Near the spot where was standing,
Redolent, bathed with morning dew,
With floral grace, its smile extending,
A single sego lily grew.

And it's modest tints and shades
Fell upon my thirsted senses

In my heart was born a feeling
That enriches life to me,
Nature graciously revealing
What I wanted most to see.
Here's the story that it told me,

In that lonely desert land.

SETTLERS FORCED TO FLEE
FOR THEIR LIVES BEFORE
ADVANCING FLOOD

Redding, Cal, May 23.-Lassen
peak burst into a new eruption at
about 4:30 this afternoon, the great
est and most violent since the noun
tain awoke enc year ago. Another
flood of mud, triple the size of yes
terdays swept down the mountain
side with three streams of lava in
its wake. It covered the country
sde like a tidal wave. Thirty-six
families, nearly the whole popula-
ton of Hat Greek valley, were re-
ported tonight to be fleeing for their
Ives before the avalanche of mud
and boiling lava.
Fifteen automobile parties in
automobiles were rushed from here
to Cassel and Round Mountain to
pick up the refugee women and
children. Men mounted on horse
back frantically rounded up cattle
and livestock and endeavored to
drive them to the high lands to es-
cape the broad torrent of mud
that submerged everything in its
path.
Three almost simultaneous and ti-
tanic burst of smoke and steam were
followed by two lesser ones. A tre-
skyward to an estimated height of
miles and spread out in heavy pail
almost as wide. The big mountain,
10000 feet high, was dwarfed to in
significant size.
When the immense volume of
smoke and ashes had lifted about
the mountains crest, four blacken-
ed paths, each about a half-mile

lava were lost at the timber line.
BY O'Clock the people of Hat
Creek valley realized that the on
sweeping tides of Lassen's overflow
was rushing upon them, and they
commenced a swift exodus.
The eruption cast giant boulders
thousands of feet into the air, and
the forest station at Twin Bridges
has been annihilated. At O'Clock
the disastrous tide had reached the

the valley The Wilcox place had
been annihilated by the previous

Despite the most strenuous efforts of
the attending physician she sank
rapidly during the night and passed
away at seven o'clock Sunday morn
