From the Indianapolis News,

From the Indianapolis News
1t was year ago that the first erup
ton OF Mount Lassen occurred. Since
then there have been numerous explo-
s1ons, the worst being several weeks
ago. The latest outburst was of such
terrifying nature and caused so much
damage to crops and forests that
northern California newspapers sent
investigating parties to the scene. One
OF these, from the Sacramento Union
equipped with cameras and motion pic
ture machines. obtained some startling
photographs. Whatever the opinion of
scientists may be, there is no doubt
that the farmers in the vicinity of
Mount Lassen are living in daily dread
OF furthe. disaster. Most of the resi-
dents whose farms have been spat-
tered with mud do not care to go
within three miles of the crater.

distance have been clogged by bowl

tons In weight, was cast from the era

consumption. On some OF the farms
on the lower slope of the mountain
the hot mud is banked up twenty five
feet in places. At one spot 5000, 900
feet of timber was broken by the
weight of powders and mud. No lava

There were Russian ships in the Poto-
mac river in 1854 and in the History of
the Washington Navy Yard is the fol-
lowing reference to that fact:
''At this period of our civil war (De-

the sympathy and good will of foreign
nations, and we are not surprised to learn
that by the advice Of Secretary Seward
the Navy Department, December 4, 1864,
instructed Commodore Harwood to send
an officer to the Russian squadron, then
lying at Alexandria, offering the convent

any repairs or assistance the vessels
might require. The Russian admiral ac-
cepted of the courtesy and tug was ac-

chinery needing repairs.
This kindly act was followed, Decem-

period in 1915 was also under n Demo
cratic tariff law, but influenced by the
war. Total importations for the first
eight months of these three periods
were rs follows: 1918. 56.00O,OOO;
1914, 81 .270 Goo, 900; 1915, $l.l60,SOO,OOo.

Farmers and manufacturers OF food

n comparison of importations OF 1000
Stuffs and food animals, as follows;
1918, $3.50 900 900; 1914, $4,000 600;
1915. 1852 100000. As the bulk Of feod-

nearly 80 per cent Of our entire i'm

osted in tho statistics showing lmporta-

elusive that the Underwood free trade
