LAVA KILLS MANY

THOUSANDS LOSE LIVES WHEN JAPANESE CITY IS BURIED UNDER ASHES. KAG0SHIMA IS WIPED OUT Neighboring Island Is Also Swept by ! the Fiery Stream Quake Destroy! Island and Tidal Wave Adds to Horror Warships to Scene. Nagasaki, Japan, Jan. 15. Earthquakes and volcanic eruptions which struck Kagoshima, in southern Japa i. on Monday, were followed by a tidai wave, according to official advices. It is believed the Kagoshima disaster will prove to be one of the most serious in the history of Japan. The loss of life and property increases as fuller details are r'ived. and indications are that t ie death list will run into the thousands. Ashes to the depth of six inches have fallen in the seaport of Miyazaki, on the east coast of Kyushu. A postal employe who fled from Kagoshima says the big post office building there collapsed during the earthquake and tidal wave and that many residences were ruined, while many People and animals were killed or injured. The navy and army departments are hastening succor and supplies to Kagoshima. Government authorities declare that any official estimate of the extent of the disaster will be impossible for several days. The population of the city of Kagoshima, which is almost completely buried In volcanic ashes and stones, was 60,000 at the last census. The population of the adjoining island of Sagura. the center of the disturbance, is given as 15,000. On this island hundreds are reported to have perished beneath the streams of molten lava of SakuraJima. Many more were undoubtedly drowned while attempting to escape. The violence of the eruption of Sa kura .lima is so great that showers of dust are falling here, although the distance between Nagasaki and the island of Sakura is about 90 miles. A refugee who arrived here on Monday from Kagoshima gave the following account of the disaster: "The eruption started suddenly with columns of thick black smoke and flame from the crater of Sakura-Jima. Hundreds of the inhabitants of the small island in the Gulf of Kagoshima . a here Sakura . lima is situated, rushed to the beach and leaped on boar-! Junks and itSaiDOTI. which carried them across three miles of water to Kagoshima. ashes, stones and parti cles of white hot lava tailing all the while on the decks. "The horror was inercased by tie' shaking caused by incessant shocks of earth(uake. which rocked Hehouses all day. More than 850 earthquake shocks were recorded before nightfall. "The people fled in disordered droves along the highway leading M eel and nort h of t he ell "When 1 left Kagoshima the vol cano resembled an enormous set piece of fireworks glowing from the foot of the mountain to the summit.

ASKS DATA ON ROADS SOLON HITS N. Y. CENTRAL AND PENNSYLVANIA. Congressman Introduces Resolution in House That Demands Stock Investigation. Washington, Jan. 13. An attack upon two of the greatest railroad combines in the country, the New York Central and the Pennsylvania lines, was begun on behalf of the Progressives of the house by the introduction of resolutions by Representative Hinebaugh of Illinois. The first resolution calls upon the Interstate commerccommission to report to the house upon the Interlocking stock control of the New York Central over the Michigan Central Railroad company and the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern company and the influence of this control upon railroad cost, service and rates. The second resolution directs the attorney general to transmit to the house his opinion as to the legality of the relations existing between the Pennsylvania railroad, the Pennsylvania company and the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad company in view of the supremo court decision in the Northern Securities case. The resolution touching the New York Central system declares that "interlocking itock control confers all the powers which actually come from interlocking directorships. Cmler the present system there is no honest competition between parallel railroad litres. The only purposes of legislation against, interlocking directorates Is to bring about honest competition In the interests of the public between these great transportal ion companies."

ALBERTA CROP YIELDS At MacLeod, Alta., weather conditions were excellent all through the season. Ninety per cent, of ihe wheat up to Oct. 1st graded No. 1. the only No. 2 being fall wheat. The yield ranged from 20 to 40 bushels per acre, with an average of 28. Oats yieldtd well, and barley about 6o bushels. Inverary is a new district in Alberta. Here wheat gr !rd No 2 and aone of it went 50 bust . .a to the acre, oats going about IS bushels. Lethbridgc correspondent says: "In the Monarch district the yield on summer fallow is averaging thirty-five bushels, a large percentage No. 1 northern." "All spring grains are yielding better than expected in the Milk river district, south. A 300 acre field of Marquis wheat gave 41 bushels. "Experimental farm results on grain sown on irrigated land place 'Red Fife wnrat in the banner position, with a yield of 59.40 bushels per acre. Oats yielded 132 bushels to the acre. "John Turner of Lethbridge grew barley that went 60 bushels to the acre. "Red Fife averages in weight from 60 to 68 pounds, and at Rosthern the Marquis wheat will run as high as 64 pounds to the busnel. while a sample of Marquis wheat at Areola weighed no less than 68 pounds to the bushel. This variety is grading No. 1 hard. Calgary, Alta., Oct. 8 The problem of handling Alberta's big grain crop is becoming a serious one. and there is a congestion at many points in southern Alberta.

Oct. 1. '13. All records for the largest shipment of grain by one farmer will bo broken this year if the estimate of C. S. Noble of Noble, Alberta, proves correct. Mr Noble has notified the Canadian Pacific Railway here that he will have 350,000 bushels of grain, chiefly barley and oats, ready for shipment very shortly. L. Anderson Smith, writing to a friend in the Old Country, located at Killam, Alberta. Says: "Anyone taking up land w ill find Alberta an ideal province. The soil Is a rich black loam, varying from I to 12 inches In depth. The land here In this district is not wholly open prairie. At intervals, sometimes closely, sometimes widely scattered, there are small plots of poplar and willows. These generally grow round some small depression in the land, and the snow drifts hero In the winter and melts in the spring filling these sloughs (province "slewB") with soft water. Nearly all these sloughs have old buffalo trucks to them, fur r was from tin thai they always got their water. The poplars are very useful for building barns and hen-houses. Wild grasses are plentiful, while tame grasses, such as timothy, brome and western rye grass do remarkably well.
