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 Destroys Island and Tidal Wave Adds to Horror Warships to Scene. Nagasaki. Japan. Jan. lö. Earthquakes an. J volcanic eruptions which struck Kagoshima. in southern Japaj. on Monday, were followed by a tidal 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 received, and indications are that the 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 ioience of the eruption of Sakura-Jima is so great that showers of hist 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. where Sakura-Jima is situated, rushed to the beach and leaped on board junks and steamers, which carried them across three miles of water to Kagoshima, ashes, stones ami particles of white hot lava falling all the while on the decks. "The horror was increased by the shaking caused by incessant shocks of earthquake, which rocked the houses all day. More than 350 earthquake shocks were recorded before nightfall. "The people fled in disordered droves along the highway leading west and north of the city. "When I left Kagoshima the volcano resembled an enormous setpiece of fireworks glowing from the foot of the mountain to the summit. During the night the glowing lava illuminated the entire district. The volcano constantly emitted thunderous explosions." The burning rock and ashes set fire to several villages. At Moji. on the Kiushiu railway. 100 persons were lulled. Several villages along the foot of the volcano were buried in streams of lava. Victoria. B. C Jan. 1..

The soil is a rich black loam, varying from 6 to 12 inches in depth. The land here in, this district is not wholly open prairie. At intervals, sometimes closely, sometimes widely scattered, th-re are small plots of pbplar and willows. These generally grow round some small depression in the land, and the snow drifts here in the winter and melts in the spring filling these sloughs (province "slews") with soft water. Nearly all these sloughs have old buffalo tracks to them, for it was from them that 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 ryo grass do remarkably well. Advertisement.
