Tho Medford section of tho direc
tory tdiuwg an Increufco of about 100
nnuics over tho preceding Issue, which
ran only bo construed aa an Indica
tion ot an Improvement In buslnoiss
conditions generally In thu city. Thu
tolcphono company havo designated
present lastio tho "ltltio Hook" of Med
ford, following a campaign ot news
paper advertising which resulted in
many additions in subscribers. Thu
adjustment In tolcphono rates or
dered by the railroad commission ot
thu statu has had practically no effect
in tho number ot subscribers, ac
cording tu Managur Vanco, ns a steady
Incroaso has been experienced in tlio
pan fuw months, notwithstanding
Iho rato adjustment being up boforo
tho commission, and tho generally ac
cepted belief that an Incroaso would
bo ordered. In fact, there was a do
elded falling oft In tho number of
subscribers up to about n year ago,
slnco which time thu rato mutter has
boon boforo thu rocmmlsslou and tho
Incroaso has como In tho past fow
mouths while tho question ot rates
was up fur adjustment.
Contrary to thu general bollof, nil
rates havo not boon increased, ac
cording to tho tolophono company,
but rather a readjustment offcrtod
ly tho commission, based on tho valtio
and class of service furnished. Many
ratoH remain as before, about 10 per
cent of thu total were reduced and
a maximum of only 25 rents per
month added to any rusldonco rato
and 50 cents on business rates. Ac
cording to thu statement Issued by

UBD UMJFP, Cal July 1. After
less than 24 hours of quiescence,
Lassen I'cak burst forth early today
in a stuilenduous eruption tho 14th
In tho scries that began May 20. No
flames were seen, but the rast plume
ot blackcncif steam from the crater
wared a mile high In tho sky and vol
canic ash fell at Macomber Flats, 13
miles distance.
For a little less than an hour tho
Inverted cono of soaring gases main
tained the well known volcanic out
line. First from tho mouth of tho
crater Itself stood up a vertical shaft
of Jet black ash. As tho shaft rose
It mushroomed outward, keeping at
its heart tho black coro of ash, but
beginning to shado into whites nnd
greys at the edges, and. finally fan
ning outward over the sky In a vast
panoply of gloom.
High a tlio Mountain
The air was clear today and from
tho moment the eruption began at
5:45 a. m. until tho spreading cloud
of smoko obscured vision, tho phe
nomenon could be observed with pre
cision. So great was tho forco of the erup
tion that tho height ot the cloud
seemed to equal tho distance from
tho mouth ot tho crater to the plateau
at tho baso ot tho peak proper. It
was almost as It one mountain had
been stood atop ot the other.
At this distance there was the ap
pearance ot what seemed A thin sheet
ot gases hissing from a crevice or
fissure on tho north slopo, distinct
from the main crater Itself. Two
eruptions seemed to bo going on at
thu tamo time.
Of tho length of this tissuro or Its
Io8ltlon with relation to tho malu
crater wero Indelcrmlnato today but
Judging from appearances, tho new
vent wns of considerable length.
'Sulphur Odor l"erceptlbIo
Tho truo volcanic nature of the
eruption, as determined by J. S. 1)11
ler of tho United States geological
survey, was further emphasized to
day by tho strong stench ot sulphur
percoptiblo at Volta and at Viola, 22
miles down tho wind to tho north.
No ashes fell at tho United States for
est station at Mineral, which lafup r
tho wind.
These last two successivo eruptions
of the peak emphasised tho warning
given hy Mr. Dlller, after his recon
naissance, that nothing could bo pro.
dieted ot tho tuturo behavior ot thu
volcano. It might bo absolutely quiet,
or it might give off lesser eruptions,
gradually dwindling away, or it
might blow Its head oft In convul
sions. Thus far the outburst havo been
progressively vlolont. That ot yes
tcrday Was catdly tho most marked ot
tho series up to that tlrao and today's
far overtopped yesterday's In grand
eur and duration.
So far as Is known, nobody was
within tho danger zone last night or
this morning. Tho district U sparse
ly populated and thoso living iu tho
littlo hamlets 20 miles or moro away
aro thus far In no approhonslou,
Munzanlta Lake, a small body at
tho base ot Lassen l'cak proper and
13 miles from tho summit, Is re
ported to havo fallen three tout slnco
