30OO WILL VOTE AT THE SPRING
 ELECTION
City Clerk Gives Some Figures on Last Registration. Wo- men Are Expected to Take Much Larger Interest.

That the registration for the city election will approximate three thousand is the opinion of NJ. L. Butler, city clerk. That of ficial expects a material increase over that of 1914. partly from a natural increase in the number of people in the city and also from the fact that more women are ex- pected to take an active part in the elections this year
 The number registred in the 1914 election was 2S47. Of this number 757 were women. The city clerk. who hadled the last registration, expects this number to be materially increased by May 12. when the registration books close.
 Some of the peculiarities of the registration were explained by Butler and will be of an inform ing nature to the majority of the people in the city.
 In the first place only four days from March 2S. will be available to register before the primaries. This applies. however. only to those who did not register in the spring of 1914. Those who did register two years ago. conse- Guently. will not have to register for the primary. but will have to register for the city election.
 Butler said. last evening. that in all probability theer would be some provision made for those to register on primary day as it was a foregone conclusion that many. who did not register at the last election. will want to vote and will be unable to unless they se- cure a duplicate of their registra- tion for the coming election.
 Another light. throwR on the matter of resistrstiou. is the fact that no declaration of party will he required in the city elections. It was thoucht that recent legisla- ton. enacted by the state legisla- ture. would force those who wish

EAGLES ID BUILD HOME ON MAIN
 STREET
Local Fraternal Organization
 Will Start Erection of Struc-
 ture on Costello Lot Within
 Sixty Days.

A ten year lease, with an option to buy the property at the end of that time. has been taken on the Costello let on Upper Main Street, by the Bis bee Aerie of Eagles and within sixty days the erection of a S15,000 home is expected to be under way.
 For some months the Eagles have been casting about for suitable loca- tion for a hone. After much investi- gation on the part of special com mittee. appointed for that purpose, the lease on the Costello lot was secured. Though plans have not been perfected for the structure the next few days will see active work done and before the sixty day period is completed the lodge will have let the contract for the new building.
 According to the temporary plans the first floor will be made into thea tre. seating 1000 people. From this floor the Eagles expect to derive very considerable revenue which will enable the lodge, before the lease ex- pires. to purchase the property on which the building will stand
 The Eagles lodge is one of the most prosperous an dactive fraternal organ izations in the Warren District When the building on the O. K block site was contemplated the Eagles were handling a third and when that project failed to materialize. the members de- cided that the lodge. of itself. would have home within a very short peri od
 To raise the money, in part for the construction of the home. the Eagles have entered into contract with the Campbell's United Shows to play in the Warren District for one week. be- ginning March 6. Al Fisher. advance agent of the big carnival company is now in Bisbee making all arrange ments for the appearance. One of the features of the weeks attraction will be a Queen contest and it is expected this will attract a large share of at- tention during the week

LAVA STREAMING
DOWN MT. LASSEN

Redding, Cal, Oct. Ga black
streak visible today on the western
slope OF Mount Lassen caused OBJ
servers to believe that either hot mud
or a form of lava had poured out Of
the California volcano during its
period Of activity yesterday. The
streak, which extends below the tim
Der line of the mountain, is as plainly
defined as any Of the three mud
streaks made during the eruption Of
May % last year. when the upper end
Of Hat creek was covered with slime.
Professor Diller. the expert sent by
the government to study the activi-
ties Of Mount Lassen. said here re-
Gently that 1t had escaped general
notice that earlier eruptions had
shown lava flow. He declared that
. great blotch on the west side Of
the mountain near the crater was
caused by lava. This blotch has
been visible from Redding and cities
in the vicinity for a year.

stock. farm tools. etc.
The commissioners also suggested
that Russian capital would establish
banks and a steamship limo and would
send n diplomatic representative to
Venezuela, Similar proposals are
said to have been made to the other
South American countries involved.
The opinion has been expressed by
persons here familiar with tho nego.
tiations that Russia wishes totally to
depopulate Poland OF It's native iu-
habltants. which have always been u
political thorn In the side OF the Rus
sian government. and re-people the
land with north Russians. The fact
that thousands OF the Russian Poles
are OF German extraction is said to
be compelling reason for the
scheme. On this account II is not
believed the plan will meet with as
much opposition from Germany and
Austria as It otherwise might.
The chief concern Of the South
American governments involved Is
said to be whether they want to risk
flooding their countries with thous-
ands OF aliens. who might In a short
time be able to dominate them poll
tically and commercially.
On this account. the Venezuelan
government. for one. Is said to be
conducting the negotiations with
great care and hcsitancy.
