FIRE OCCURS IN STERN
BUILDING CAUSING BIG
DAMAGE TO HAT SHOP

In a fire which occurred in the
Stern building on South Fourth
street yesterday morning. The Hat
shop and the optical parlors of
DR.. c. II. Carnes, located on the
lower floor of the building. were
considerably damaged.
The fire is said to have started
from sparks from the smokestaCk
falling on the canvas awning on the
side of the building, which burned
to the window sash and then trav-
eled along under the roof, making
it very difficult for the firemen
who were soon on the scene of
action, to get at, Holes had to be
chopped in the roof to get the fire
hose through and II was only after
two hours of hard work that the
firemen were able to get control.
There was small damage from
the fire but the strong streams of
water playing on the ceiling easily
broke it through, flooding the in
terror of the rooms below.

Hilo.i Island of Hawaii, T. H.,
April 4.-Many square miles of
country have been buried fathoms
deep by the tremendous lava flows
from Kilauea volcano, thirty-two
miles from here, which began spec
tacular eruptions during the latter
part of October, 1919. and are still
continuing.
Several large rivers of lava are
in action amid burning vegetation,
giving off pungent Iron foundry"
odor, with waves of intense heat.
Two species of lava are visible
in all directions, pahoehoe, or
smooth lava, and a-a, the rough
variety. At one point great heap
of the latter is advancing males
tically towards the sea at the rate
of 100 feet an hour.
Throughout the length of the
various flows are continuous sue

SIGNING OF OIL LAND
LEASING BILL STARTS
STAMPEDE IN ALASKA

10y MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED ~IRsI
Seattle, Wash, April 4.-Hun-
dreds of oil claims, embracing
thousands of acres of land along
the Alaskan coast, from Mount 81.
Elias on the boundary line of Yu-
kon territory to the Alaskan PENN
sula in the west, have been staked
by locatOrS in the few weeks since
President Wilson signed the coal
and oil land leasing measure, aC-
cording to reports from Seward,
Cordova, Anchorage and other cit
les in the north.
News of the bills signing, eager
ly awaited for weeks, started a
stampede that "old-timers" said
rivalled the gold, rushes of earlier
Gays. seward stampeders flocked
to the oil regions of the Kenai pc
ninsula, to Cold Bay Shelikof strait
and to other dirstricts along the
southwestern coast. From Cordova,
the rush was in the direction of
Katalla and Yakataga, at the bases
of the Boring and Malaspin gla-
ciers.
Elaborate preparations had been
made to relay word that the bill
had been signed. At Kodiak, loca-
tors were notified by wireless from
Seward, and left in gas boats that
had been charted for weeks, bound,
for the oil regions. Cordovans,
also, had kept high powered
launchs under charter that no
time might be lost in making loca-
tons.
While many indications of rich
oil deposits had been found along
the coast, the only development of
any importance had, been at katal-
la, where an English company"
drilled into oil and secured a frac-
tonal claim of about thirty-four
acres. Discouraged by conservation
orders from Washington, the COM
pany, after expanding nearly half
a million dollars in drilling and de-
velopment, abandoned work and
sold out to a holding company. A
number of wells upon the one pat
ented claim have been producing
oil since 1912. the product being
chiefly distillate used by fishing
boats.

"The present widespread inter-

Mexico has led many persons of
littlo or no geological training or
experience to locate placer oil
claims and to become identified
with the promotion of drilling prof.
ectS, Some parts of the state have
promising structures which are
well worth prospecting, but some of
the areas being oXpiuited are dis
tnctly unfavorable places for any
important accommodations. With
out doubt our supply of knowledge
dealing with oil and gas is far from
complete, yet many fundamental
laws have been established beyond
reasonable question. 3 Those who
are endeavoring to locate valuable
deposits of oil should by all means
observe the generally accepted
laws regarding it. The writer has
found a number of misconceptions
in this connection so commonly
held that a few words concerning
them may prove to be of value.
According to very prevalent
misconception basins are the only
logical places to expect oil. A
number Of basins in the west have
beon prominently identified with
important oil fields, but many of
them are improbable localities for
oil accumulation. Basins are either
or topographic. Many
people have the erroneous idea that
the underground drainage Of a to-
geographic basin corresponds in
with the surface drainage
above, TheN assume that OIL ana
gas are carried by the underground
to an area near the
lowest part of the basin where they
accumulate in much the
same manner that a lake would
form at the surface provided the
basin were completely enclosed.
This view disregards the fact that
the direction of underground Gil
