Rabbits IA Menace.

A person living in town does not

.UNCHARTED FAULTS CAUSED
RECENT BIG EARTHQUAKE
Earth's Crust Drops Twelve Feet
Along Line of Cleavage for Dis
tance of Thirty Miles.

nat the Dig edTtHqudke WHICH Oc-
Cured on the night of October End
was due to hitherto unknown fault
in the Sonora range of mountains
along the foothills of Mount Tobin,
sixty miles south of Winnemucca, is
the opinion of C. Jones. professor
of geology of the State University,
says the Humboldt Star.
Professor Jones and Professor
Boardman, of the engineering depart
ment of the university, arrived from
Reno Saturday morning and left for
Pleasant Valley, accompanied by At
torney L. G. Campbell, with Roy K.
Brown as driver of their auto. They
returned last evening and Professor
Jones and Boardman left for Reno.
Speaking of their observations
along the fault or break in the
earth's crust, which they examined
from one end to the other, Mr..
Campbell said to representative of
The Star this morning:
1.-The northeast end of the fault is
in the foothills of Mount Tobin
about three miles from Mud Springs,
and it extends continuously almost
due south about thirty miles to a
point a few miles below the Cooper
4, Uniacke ranch. At its southern
end the fault speads out like hand
From distance the line of the break
along the fault resembles railroad
grade. Measurements of the dis
tance of the slip or drop along the
fault showed it to be from twelve to
| fifteen feet. The angle of the fault
is 54 degrees the dip being to the
west, the earth having moved in this
direction. The trend Is almost due
north and south.
I'm few places along the break
we found slickenslides, as found on
he walls of veins, proving the plane
of action. The slickenedslides show
ed slight movement of the sliding
mass to the north, but our observa-
tions of the break where 1t intersect-
ed fences, roads and irrigation dit
ches showed the drop to be straight
downward.
"In the valley and along the hill
sides near the Cooper & Uniacke
ranch there were many light frac-
lures, not along the line of the fault.
These fractures were caused by the
tremendous Jar when the slip occur
red. This fracturing, occurring on
the surface, is seen for miles. Sur
face water came up through these
cracks, and the ground had the ap-
pearance of being swept by an enor-
nous cloudburst.
From our examination we found
no evidence of the great fault or slip
being the reopening of an old one,
the conclusion being that the slip
which caused the earthquake was a
new one. However, there were indi-
cations of old faulting above the
new break, the old fault scrap show
ing quite plainly
Professor Jones, speaking of the
probability of other earthquakes,
with this section as the center of dis
turbance, gave it as his opinion that
there is no danger and that it will
probably be years before another
similar drop will occur on this fault
plane like those of the afternoon and
night of October End"

THE CITY OF LAMBERTVILLE
AND SURROUNDING COUNTRY
Council Approves Bond Issue Of $4,000 for the
New Additions to the Schools---WilI
Complete Unfinished Work.
SUFFRAGISTs ACTIVE IN THEIR CAMPAIGN N

The Lambertville city7 council
passed the ordinance providing for
a $4,000 bond issue for. improve
ment of schools on final reading
Monday night, after considerable
opposition had been offered as to
the details.
1t is planned to issue the bonds
on January /, 1916, to bear interest
at four and one-half per cent, and
81, 500 will be paid off each year
for twenty years. after which $4,000
will be paid each year, clearing up
the whole issue in thirty-six years.
This will make an expense of 81 ,291
for the first year, decreasing each
year for twenty years, when it will
make $500 jump again, but still
be much less than the first year be-
cause of the smaller amount of loan
outstanding.
City Solicitor Sergeant insisted
that no bonds should be paid off
during the first ten years, but Presi-
dent MCGOWAN said it would be
necessary to provide sinking fund
in that case, and Frank A. Phillips,
president of the Lambertville Ma
tional Bank, spoke by request of
council and said that paying off a
certain amount of bonds regularly
would be the best method. His
bank will take the bonds.
Chairman Hervey S. Holcombe,
of the street committee, explained
that the total appropriation for his
department was used up, and that
all work would cease Tuesday unless
additional money was provided. This
provoked a lively row, especially
when it was suggested that Main
street, between Coryell and York
streets, had the bottom stone but
not the top dressing on. and to leave
it in the present condition would be
a serious matter
1t was decided to take 5000 from
the contingent fund and complete
the work upon the streets where it
had already been undertaken. or
might become necessary because of
heavy..rains. Next years appropri-
alton will not be available until after

THE WIRELESS
PHONE NEXT
President Vail Talks to
the Pacific Coast
Successfully.
NEW ERA DAWNING

Inc human voice Travelled across
the continent from the Atlantic to
the Pacific without the aid of wire
by means of wireless telephone
apparatus and methods developed
by the engineer of the Bell System,
a few days ago.
President 7. N. Vail, of the Amer
lean Telephone and Telegraph COM
pany, sitting in the Offices of the
company at Is Dey Street, New
York City. spoke into a Bell tele-
phone connected by wire of the Bell
system with the wireless tower at
Arlington, Va, and his words were
transmitted by wireless telephony
to Mare Island, near San Francisco,
Cal. This latest and most remark
able triumph of the telephone art
was under the direct supervision of
John ]. Carly, chief engineer of the
American Telephone and Telegraph
company, who has been in San
Francisco Tor several weeks.
He received President Wallis first
words at Mare Island and replied
to them, and repeated them back
to Arlington by wire. The demon
stration was held by a commission
of the United States navy and the
experiment was witnessed and veri-
fled by them. Following President
Wallis message, Union n. Bethel,
senior vice president; John |. Water
bury, a director of the American
Telephone and Telegraph company,
and Bancroft Gheradi, engineer of
plant of company, also talked into
the phone and were heard at Mare
Island and had their words repeated
back to them by Mr.. Carly there.
The transcontinental wireless tele-
phone employs radically new ideas
in wireless working which have been
invented and developed by the gen.
eral engineering staff of the Amer
lean Telephone and Telegraph COM
pany, working to this end by d.
rection of President T. N. Vail. But
it is interesting to note that in
starting this first message on its
flight through ether to the Pacific
coast, President Vail used a Bell
telephone, designed for wire work
ing.
At 12.4S, eastern time, President
Vail, surrounded by few officials
of the American Telephone and Tele-
graph company, picked up a Bell
transmitter and called into it: Hello,
Carly, this is Mr.. Vail" In spite of
the fact that the words went by
wire to Washington and then leaped
through the air to the Pacific coast,
Engineer Carty's reply came back
almost instantly: This is fine; this
is wonderful" and the group of
men gathered together at opposite
sides of the continent knew that
wireless transcontinental telephony
was henceforth numbered among
the miracles of modern science.
