eruption of Lassen Peak than first be-

here today by returning investigating
parties who traveled over almost in»
passable roads and through a raging
storm to reach the edge of the danger

Widespreaddamage to standing
timber was the most evident destruc-
tion done by the mountain's eruption.
The mud torrents and the showers of
super-heated rocks and boulders are
reported to have ruined a million feet
of timber. Trees were snapped off at
their trunks and the hall of heavy
stones swept through large areas of
forest like a gigantic scythe. Tangles
of timber caught fire from the hot
lava. but rain soon quenched the
flames. _
The mud stream inflat Creek was
still moving today, but it has cooled
and flows sluggishly.
