WHAT OMOR| SAID
ABOUT LOCAL QUAKEs

August II, 1906.-Professo F. Omori,
leading scientist of Japan, and recog
nized as among the world s leading
authorities on seismic questions, on
passing through Honolulu en- route to
Japan from California where he had
been sent by the japanese government
to investigate the earthquake in San
Francisco in April 10, 1906, made the
following statement to the Advertiser:
81 would say there is a very slight
possibility of there ever being an earth
quake Of any magnitude in the Hawai-
ian Islands.
cit is noticeable that in the imme.
diate neighborhood of large volcanoes,
such as here, there are no violent earth
quake shocks. Naples, for instance, is
free of them. And it is therefore quite
safe to say that these islands will never
be visited by such shock as has been
had in California.
''That earthquake was extraordinary
in the extent of the area affected and
in its surface manifestations. Much
of the affected area extended under
the sea, for at least $50 miles, should
say, giving it an extreme length of $50
miles. The center of the disturbance
was some distance from San Francisco,
fortunately, where the earthquake it.
self did little damage in comparison
with that inflicted by the fire which
followed
I'm my opinion that portion of Cali
fornia will now be immune from serious
shocks for at least thirty years, and
it may never have as bad a one as
that of the last April for ages. This
is the opinion that 1 gave to the Cali
fornians, and I see that the Union Pa
cifc have had my letter Autographed
and are sending it all over America.

Mr. Dillingham;, president of the rail-
road company, stated last night that it
is probable that the story of excessive
quotations for freight arose from the
fact that one of the contractors figur-
ing on the construction of the Pearl
Harbor drydock has been asking for
figures for the transportation of rock,
but that no satisfactory rates have
been arrived at because no definite
figures of the quantity of rock to be
transported, no information as to the
nature of the cars needed for the work
or other particulars can be supplied at
present.

Randall county stock is in
creasing in quality every year
and as the time goes by the in
crease in the quality is more
rapid as the farmers and ranch
men are finding out that they
must develope the class of
stock if they desire to keep pace
with the rapid development. The

forcibly home to one of our older
settlers in point of time of time
of residence here this week.
Last year he decided that he
would invest in a team of two
year old horses, which he did.
Last Saturday he came to town
with the team and was acccOSted
for a price on them and named a
price of $4,000 for the team, and
before he could back out the gen
tleman took him up. Now Jet
is looking for a new team of the
same class of stock. The team
which Mr.. Jet sold were three
year olds and weighed about 1000
pounds each. He expects to
