All the church societies of the city enjoyed a fine trip to Mount Ashland Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Most of the party. left Friday evening and reached Long's Cabin for the night's camping place. Then, in the small hours of the morning, most of them started on up to the top, with the intention of reaching it to see the sunrise. Many reached the top by 4 o'clock in the morning, but the sun rose behind a haze and the effect was not as beautiful as might have been expected after such a hard climb, j dered However, as soon as the hazy clouds drifted away the sight was beautiful. By 6:30 a. m. sixty had registered in the book on the summit, while by 1:30 p. m. eighty-seven has signed their names. The afternoon was spent in having a good time on top of the mountain, Insliding on the snow, shooting firecrackers and roll ing rocks down the slopes. At night the party camped on top of the peak, and in the morning one of the most novel Sunday school meetings one could imagine was held on top of the mountain, far above the surrounding country, and it truly in spired the speakers to beautiful thoughts and words. Thirty-five at tended the session. ThoBe who took the trip report one of the finest times they have ever ! enjoyed. Of all those that started, every one got to the top. The only accident that happened during the trip was that which befell Dale Baughniari, who dislocated his hip and suffered terribly. However, he was taken on a horse down to Long's Cabin and from there was brought on to town in Rev. Schwim ley's buggy. During the trip down his hip slipped back into place, but the strained ligaments made it very painful. It was one of the most successful Fourth of Julys that has ever been planned by the churches of the city. Everything was perfect. No one was uncomfortable or did not enjoy a good night's rest. Those who had reached the top by 6:30 a. m. Saturday morning were Bill Holmes, LeRoy Ashcraft, Frank Little Ivan O'Donohue, Edmond Bar rett, Phil Wolcott, Delbert Halfhill, Leslie Schwlmley, George W. Seager, W. D. Hickory, D. P.

Freeman has been working In the hay fields at the Banta ranch, about seventeen miles from here. He made the trip both ways on his wheel and found traveling good. He said he tied a "young tree" on behind his wheel to "cause a little friction" go ing down Green Spring mountain. He plans on returning to Klamath coun ty this week, where he will secure another Job In that part of the coun try haying. He intends to go by way of Ager, crossing over the Slsklyous. He Informed the Tidings that he met Fred Garrett (alias Dingy) over on Green Spring working on the Holt ranch. "Dingy" was astride of bucky broncho and' wore chaps, and on the whole looked very cattle puncherlfled, the astounded "Chow" hardly recognizing his old classmate. I Freeman worked on the Banta ranch, owned by C. W. Banta, the Oregonlan man here. Harry Banta Is running the ranch now.

We were notified by telephone that Mount Lassen was in. eruption. On reaching the street, where we had an excellent view, a most wonderful py rotechnic display met our vision. The black smoke, lava and steam was shooting upwards to a distance of a mile or more. There was a series of explosions of tar-black smoke at in tervals of every few minutes, num bering eight or ten in the course of half an hour. Then the black smoke drifted away, leaving a clear streak of steam which shot upward like a fountain spray about one hundred feet high. It was reported to be the heaviest eruption yet witnessed, and while it belched forth much lava and smoke no blaze came from it yesterday, but there was another, which occurred about 5 o'clock this morning, which poured forth fire as well as asheB. While the people of Red Bluff look on In awe-stricken wonder, they have no fear, as it is fifty miles from the peak and no particle of lava or ashes has yet made its appearance here. MR3. E. J. SEXSMITH. C. D. Wood, his two daughters, Mr. Anderson and Miss Jean Ander son went to lithla springs Friday to camp until after the Fourth. Mr. Wood and Mr. Anderson left the springs early Saturday morning for Grizzly Peak, where they took many pictures of the surrounding country. The day being clear, afforded them a fine view of Mt.
