GREAT VOLCANO IS ABATING
fSpecial Dispatch to the Daily Alaskan.]
f (Special Dispatch to Daily Alaskan )
j Naples, April 12? The eruption of
i Mt. Vesuvius is abating. The fall of
ashes is lessening and scientists say the
volcano has spent its force. Lava is
still flowing and great colums of smoke
are ascending toward the heavens, but
in diminishing quantities. The mod
eration in;the condition became appa
rent before midnight last night and
the improvement has been continuous
since then. The pall, caused by death
and impending disaster that has
hung over the town for several days,
has ri^en and the people are again tak
ing; an interest in life.
Everywhere is apparent the results
of the awful fury of the volcano. The
whole Vesuvius district, including
Naples and its surroundings as far north
as Caserta, 25 miles north of tbe vol
cano, to Castellemare di Stabia, five
miles beyond Pompeii on the south,, is
a vast Sahara desert. Every vestige
of vegitation has been killed. Vine
yards, gardens and farms have been
rendered useless. The mills and fact
ories in the devasted district have
been either destroyed or deserted. The
si!k and wine industries in the vicinity
have been ruined.
Ottajano, at the footof Monte Somma,
more than four miles northeast of
Vesuvius, is among the towns that have
been destryed. It is practically burled in '
ashes like Pompeii. Portions of Torre
del Greco and Torre dell' Annunziata
are buried and destroyed. Sarno, 10
miles to the east of the crater, and San
Gerarro, both reported as having been
consumed by lava, are st ill standing
only portions of them being destroyed.
The other towns reported destroyed,
more then 20 in number, are buried or
in ruins.
Thousands of people r.re engaged in
shovelling ashes and mud from th?
roofs of the buildings that are still
standing.

(Special Dispatch to Daily Alaskan.)
Seattle, April 12? The I Alaska-Yukon J
fair was launched at a banquet
held under the auspices of the Alaska
Club in this city last night. Former I
mayor R. A. Ballinger presided and
a spirit of confidence and optimism pre
vailed everywhere. The details of the i
proposition were left to a committee of i
which I. A. Nadeau, vice-president of j
the chamber of commerce, is at the i
head Many speeches were made and
the import of all was that the project 1
must be carried through to a successful
termination. Everyone present agreed |
to put his shoulder to the wheel and do ]
his level best.
James S.Goldsmith spoke on the busi
ness side of the affair. He said that it
would be necessary to raise $500,000 in
Seattle, and that owing to the James
town fair in 1907, the Alaska elections
tn 1906 and 1908 and the presidential
election in the latter year that the fair
should be held in 1909.
