IN THE CRATER OF MOUNT
LASSEN.

One of the tourists to Mt. Lassen
writes thus of the trip:
"There were four of US in two ma
chimes and we resolved, after visiting
Shasta county that we could see the
only volcano in the United States. So
silent it stood for many years. No
one had the least bit of history con-
corning it, The surroundings and the
conditions were forceible evidence Of
a volcano there in prehistoric age"
Finally, as if inviting tourists west
ward to the great exposition, the
volcano sprang into activity, after a
sleep Of numberless years. Even then
California did not seem to realize the
immense worth this great natural
wonder would some day be to this
state, in fact, to the whole coast.
One of them wrote: eve went
around by Eagle Lake and Susanville,
to Lees Camp, close to the foot Of
the mouaain, and from there all four
of US, on horse back and afoot made
the ascent. One Of the ladies went
right into the crater, and we took a
number Of pictures which we will
show you when we return. They
have to be developed yet, to get their
value. If we had known the conditions
of the crater we would not have vent
ured so far in. 1t looked to US as If it
might blow all to pices at almost
any time, and we felt that we would
not venture 50 far any more until it
becomes more docile. This wonder

tant future win be a lure to tourists
from all over the world. Time will

BATTERY c TO
GET UNIFORMS
viii Be Fully Equipped before Leay-

from Washington.

According to reports from Wash
ington the various new units in the
National Guard Of the several states
will be fully equipped at their armor-
les before being ordered to the camps
established for their mobilization and
training That means that Battery 9
will be in uniforms when it leaves
Greenwood.
The members of the Battery have
been very anxious for their uniforms
to come before they left the city and
1t appears that their desire is to be
granted.
The Battery Is composed Of two hun
dred and more Of the best young men
of Greenwood and Lehore County,
young men who were making their
marks in the business world and who
will make their marks in service for
their Country. There is room in the
Battery for few more good men.
1t can leave here with thirty men
above war strength, or approximately
two hundred and twenty men.
After the war draft is made men Of
military age cannot become connected
with the Battery. The draft may be
made tomorrow, it will in all probabili-
ty be make this week. This is your
chance if you would rather 90 with a
home organization than to be drafted
into the National Army.

COAL PRICES
LITTLE LOWER
Quotations at the Mines Show Mine
Run at SITS Ton and Domes-
tic at $3.50 Ton.

If the reports from Washington to
the effect that coal operators had
agreed to reduce the price of coal at
the mines from one and half to five
dollars a ton in compliance with the
wish of the Federal Trade Commits
sion has in any way lead you to be-
lieve that your next winters supply of
black fuel is going to be any cheaper
than Il was last winter now is the time
to get that idea out of your head.
Indications are that the prices will
be about the same if not little higher
according to quotations received by
Mr.. c. E. Wright which he showed to
Daily Commonwealth reporter this
morning.
Due to the reports from Washington
the idea has gotten out that coal will
be very cheap. This idea will tend to
cause the purchasing public to think
the retailer is holding them up when
higher prices are charged. The re-
taller is helpless in view Of the fact
that he is made to pay higher prices
at the mines.
The quotations were for Illinois coal,
one of the worst grades of coal to be
secured anywhere, and were the max
imum prices agreed upon at the con-
ference at Washington between oper-
ators, Secretary of the Interior Frank
X. Lane, Gov. J. F. Fort Of the Federal
Trade Commission and the Coal Pro-
duction Committee of the National De-
fense Council
Mine-run, two, one and half, one
and quarter and three quarters Of an
inch in size down to screenings was
quoted at $2.75 ton fob. the mines.
Domestic sizes, lump one and one
one quarter to six inches furnace six
by three inches, small egg three by
two inches, stove two by one and a
quarter inches, domestic chestnut one
and quarter by three quarters Of an
inch or any combination Of these sizes
greater than one and quarter inches
was quoted at $3.50 ton at the
mine.
A minimum commission Of twenty
five cents ton to jobbers is to be
added to these prices, then freight
from the mines, cost Of handling and
reasonable profit for the retailer.
The prices were fixed according to
the cost Of mining the coal. 1t costs
more to mine coal in Alabama than it
does in Illinois and Kentucky and
Pennsylvania. The best coal comes
from the small veins but it costs more
to mine the smaller veins and their
output brings higher price.
The government has arranged the
price Of coal in the same way that it
has set the standard grades of cotton.
The cheapest grade is used as a basis
and so much per ton is added for each
grade above the cheapest kind.
The above prices were quoted in
Chicago under date Of July the Sec
ond.
