Mt. Shasta Slopes Covered
With Mud Rolling Down
on Lumber Plants.
BY the Associated Press.


REDDING. Calf, August "A
theory that Mount Shasta, long
dormant, is resuming its early day
activity and throws off sufficient heat
to melt the giant glacier on it's slopes
is advanced by many people as an
explanation for the enormous uuan-
tity of volcanic mud that is flowing
down It's sides. The inundation Of
mud has already crossed Mud Creek.
the outlet for the glacier, and is find.
ing its way into the Sacramento and
McLoud Rivers in such quantities
that numbering operations on the
latter stream are seriously menaced.
The mud, with liberal mixture of
volcanic ash that gives the mass a
milk chocolate color, literally aug
mented by tons of rock ground to
sand, is increasing daily in volumes.
In its fight to stop the flow, the
McLoud River Lumber Co, has
awarded an $4,000 contract to w. p.
Briley of the Fall River Mills, who
will endeavor to build a barrier upon
the mountain at Elk Creek, the orig
inal outlet of the flow, where the big
break occurred two weeks ago Bri-
ley is skeptical as to his success
The lumber company, the Pacific
Gas and Electric Co. and the McLoud
River Railroad find themselves pow.
erless in their fight against The on
rush of the century-old accumulation
Every barrier thus far thrown up
has crumbled. and the mud rolls on
resistlessly. Huge powders, weigh
ing half a ton, are being whirled
along. while trees are being broken
and carried down with the tarlike
stream.
With cold weather. 1t is believed
that the flow will stop. The theory
that volcanic heat is releasing the
mud Is secuted by many, who blame
the phenomena upon two years of
unusually warm weather

ing program and the increase in pub
lie schools, public utilities, and in

BOY SCOUT EXECUTIVES
GUESTS OF ROTARIANS

Guests Of honor at Tuesdays Ro-
tary meeting were Boy Scout workers
from various parts of this state and
from California and New York, here
for the twelfth annual sectional re-
gional conference Boy Scouts of
America. |. B. Koch on behalf of the
club welcomed the visitors
The program was given over to
boys work and the addresses were
especially interesting. Rev. Fr. K.
Albouy delivered the invocation.
c. B. Wilson, president Grand Can
yon council Boy Scouts, was to have
been chairman for the day, but was
detained on legal business in Hol-
brook, and President M. G. Fronske
presided. He called upon Charles N.
Miller, regional scout executive of
Los Angeles, for a talk and after a
short one Mr.. Miller introduced Stew
art w. French of Pasadena, chairman
of the regional executive committee.
DR.. George j. Fisher, deputy chief
scout executive of the New York city
national offices, was the next speaker.
Dir. Fisher was few days ago elected
president Of the New York city XII
wants club.
Both Mr.. French and Dr. Fisher
stressed the need for more men to
interest themselves in scout work,
for the growth of scouting is limited
to the number Of suitable men who
volunteer for leadership in their COM
munities. DR.. Fisher called attention
to the difference in conditions sur
rounding growing boys now and a
few years ago, the crowding in cities,
the greater artificialty, the numerous
softening and devitalizing influences
which, in the Boy Scout work, it is
sought to counteraet and overcome
by providing inspiration, instruction,
amusement and work to take up the
boys spare time and direct his
thoughts and activities into whole
some, sane channels.
Two vocal numbers were charming
ly sung by Mrs. C. B. Wilson, Miss
Elsa Myers, Miss Bess VanNess and
Mrs. Charles Hillebrandt, with Miss
Mildred Whetzel at the piano.

CLARKE HAS HARD TIME
KEEPING RECORD CLEAR

J. c. Clarke, who has charge of the
Wupatki national monument, has
hard time keeping Arizona's record
clear Recently he called the atten-
tion of the Scientific American to a
geographical error published by it
as follows:
my attention was called to the
article published in the January issue
of your valuable magazine, entitled
The Tragedy of the Indian and in
particular to the illustration on page
seven.
"The picture located in the upper
left hand corner of this page was
| labeled Indian Village of Acoma-
located on high mesa in western
New Mexico,' when it in reality is a
picture of the plaza on which the BIZ
annual snake dance of the Hopi In
dians is held, and the odd shaped rock
that is so plainly shown is the snake
rock. ! enclose for your inspection a
print that had made from a film
that ] took in 1924 when / saw this

tribe uses this method of wearing

"I am very sorry to have to differ
with your artist in this case, but Ari-
zona has received a lot of unneeded
advertising lately, and since Cali
fornia has almost secceeded in claim
ing both the Grand Canyon and the
Colorado river, do not see why New
+ Mexico should be allowed to claim
Walpi.
"J. C. CLARKE"
! He received the following reply
/ from the editor which Mr.. Clarke
says is an unusual courtesy:
+ "Thank you very much for your let
ter of the 10th, relative to the illus
tration appearing in connection with
our article on the Indian, in the jan
uary issue. 1t was very kind Of you
to have the print showing the snake
rock made for me, and | have ex-
amined it with interest.
"Upon investigation / find that the
legends for the two photographs
which you mention, were taken from
information contained on the reverse
side of the pictures, these having been
obtained from the lecturer, Newman.
1t is now quite evident that the data
was not reliable, although it was
naturally assumed to be so.
'If you have no objection, | may
desire to use your letter in the 'Edi-

HIGH PRAISE GIVEN
ARTIST BURGDORFF

Artist Ferdinand Burgdorff, one of
Flagstaff's staunchest and most en-
thusiastic friends, is receiving high
praise from art critics for his exhlbl-
ton of paintings in Los Angeles.
Anthony Anderson, art critic for the
Los Angeles Times has this to say of
him and his work:
Two painters of Scandinavian orr
gin--one of whom, indeed, Gunnar
Widforss, was born, educated and
brought up in Europe-are holding
joint exhibition of paintings from the
Grand Canyon and the Arizona desert
at Stendahl's. The second man is
Ferdinand Burgdorff. Each artist
shows five paintings, Widforss' being
in water color, Burgdorff's in oil.
The two artists are SO radically
different in method and temperament
that this happy iuxtaposition of their
works, all small paintings, offers the
art lover an excellent opportunity for
comparisons that are by no means
odius. He discovers that all men of
the north are not alike in expression,
and that Burgdorff's warmth makes a
perfect foil for Widforss' cool intel
lectual detachment.
Burgdorff is the poet, Widforss the
consummate and meticulous crafts
man. Burgdorff's Arizona nights
as in Corral in Moonlight" full
of brooding enchantment, his Ari-
zona days, as in Grain Clouds" and
Desert Storm" show US the great
deserts dramatic panorama. A fine
colorist always, he is at his simplest
and best in "Arizona Golden Rocks" I"
giving US deeply blue and luminous
sky-a sky as rich in texture as slab
of Observation-Disclosures a slope bathed
in sunlight. The small canvas en-
titled "Rain Clouds" is also very
lovely, clouds of Italian pink and
gold piled in rhomboid form, and on
the horizon line of pale blue hills.
And Corral in Moonlight" reminds
us of a subtle Cain.
Burgdorff is a member of the Bo-
hen1ian club in San Francisco, the
Salmagundi and League of American
Artists in New York. About Widforss
could find out nothing except that
he halls from Sweden-or IS it Nor
way? Burgdorff was born in the
middle west.
