HUNDREDS flee
STREAM Of Lava
ToWnspeople Running From
ERUPTION Of Mt. Etna

Catania, Sicily. Nov. s Rl-With a
molten stream Of lava, like a hun
CRY dragon at their backs to spur
them on, hundreds of persons today
were fleeing from the region around
the eastern base Of Mount Etna.
Their household belongings were
thrown on any makeshift vehicle to
get them out of the advancing
column OF fire. Barnyard animals
struggled along with the people who
were abandoning their fields and
homes to the molten stream. which
advanced at q rate of more than 100
yards an hour.
Lands Fertile
The most fertile and intensively
cultivated land in Sicily was being
consumed by the lava. Houses were
being destroyed and trees burned.
Great clouds of steam rose as the
heat reached the watts Of the dis
tilleries which produce citric acid.
The blazing. sulphurous current
swept away q monument to the war
dead which was to have been in
augurated Sunday at Mascali. The
principal church Of the town also
fell prey to the lava.
The railway line between Messina
and Catania was in grave danger.
The situation was regarded as criti-
cal since normal facilities linking
central Sicily with the coast are few.
The authorities thought that II a
large quantity Of lava collected
along the railroads 1t would remain
incandescent for a long time and
the work OF repair would be delayed.
All extra rolling stock was being re-
moved rapidly.
The electric lighting plant supply
ing current to the provinces of
Catania and Syracuse was en-
dangered.

He suspects that a Chevrolet auto

night In 1924 and untouched until
the late summer Of 1928. might be

operate. Or. for that matter. any
other kind of 4 car.

GATEWAY SUBSCRIBER LAUDs FRANKNESS IN
 EDITORIAL COLUMNS

Here's an interesting letter The Gateway received in the last mail from the Interior from subscriber of two-years standing.
 "In The Gateway of recent date I note the increase in circulation your paper is enjoying. You are justly en- titled to feel proud of the record. If your paper has grown 80 large in cir culation there Is good reason. Press dispatches and Alaskan news keep one interested from start to finish And what most particularly value is the editorials: I for one-and I feel sure there are plenty of others-take the keenest interest in The Gateway's 8 editorial column.
 we have a number of newspapers in the Territory but there are only a few which dare give expression as you do. suppose 1t is due to the con- trolling influence exercised by stock holders. Our delegate, during the cam paign at the last election charged re- peatedly that the Press of Alaska" was subservient to the fish trust" and other interests. Lord knows there were some of our papers muzzled ef- fectually; that the editor simply had to keep his mouth shut or drop out. Some of them yet would be of consid- erable value if the editor were given full rein to express his ideas.
 "Your stand against the Comptroller bill and your frank opinion of it's sponsors should be appreciated by every true citizen of Alaska. I, for one, appreciate your paper and know it means as much to many others as 1t does to me. mail my copies out to old Alaskans in the States.
 By the way Congressman vestal made a splendid speech in defense of Alaska. Everyone should write and thank him q shall for one). Am look ing forward to the time when you see fit to publish the reply to "Col. Dicks" article in the Atlantic Monthly"
