Mount Lassen is said to have been on a rampage Thursday second to none in its recent history. Smoke clouds hung in the sky to the west of Susanville during the afternoon, and combining with a few clouds that were genuine produced some rather pleasing color effects as the sun was declining.
W. S. Harrison came up from the city Wednesday on a business trip with which, however, a little pleasure may be combined, as “Billy” brought his fishing rods with him. He reports that he is doing well, and he certainly is looking well. He will visit in Susanville for ten days or longer.
The Advocate welcomes the “Westwood Sugar Pine” to its exchange list. The new lumber town paper is a small one, but it is neither a make-shift nor a false pretense as some larger papers are. Occupying a good local field the “Sugar Pine” evidences a disposition to make the most of its opportunities. Success to it.
If any objection be found as to the make-up of this week’s Advocate let it be attributed to the fact that its editor etc., was knocked out by a fall at the ball grounds last Sunday. If he had been boozed up he would, in all probability, have received no injury from his fall. Under the circumstances he is more than ever disposed to kick at enforced sobriety, even while he reflects that a sprained wrist and a sore head count but little in the final analysis.
