1887. The earlier flows, he saws, are
quiet and apparently not making any
further Roadway
The latest flow is travelling at an
estimated rate of two miles a ,day.
Its toe is at present seven miles from
the road, which, if the flow continues,
will be reached on Saturday.

AS the lava eats its way through the
forest, fills depressions and mounts
slight rises, beautiful fiery cascades are
seen, with here and there explosions
and detonations heard, as bubble-like
cones burst and fiery mass of molten
rock is thrown into the air.
Manager Fredenberg of the Kahuku
Ranch spent the night with a number
of others alongside the flow.
When Professor Jaggar last saw the
new flow II was from q hundred yards
to quarter of a mile wide. The flow
now threatens the Kahuku water sys-

for there IS a British naval station To-
Gated at Esquimalt; half way between
Bremerton and the open sea on the
Strait Juan de Fuca, and at that point
it is Just IL miles wide. 1t is ques-

station.

"In urging the establishment of a
naval base on the Columbia River,
F. c. Harley, chairman of the Co
lumbia River Naval Base committee,
shows that the Puget Sound Navy
Yard is dominated by the British naval
station at Esquimalt," says the Army
and Navy Journal of May IL, and
gives the gist of his argument as
follows:
"On the south or American shore
Of the straits there are no defenses
whatsoever says Mr.. Harley in his
brief submitted to the House Commit

erican Notifications encountered after
leaving the Pacific Ocean are found
at the narrow entrance to the Puget
Sound. These probably do protect
adequately the inner portions of Pu-'

Straits Of Fuca nor are they Of the
slightest value in protecting the AM
