EARTHQUAKES VERY PUzZLINC
 SCIENTISTS

WASHINGTON, Oct. 13 (by Asso- ciated Press) ).-Frequen earth, and Europe during the last few months have puzzled government scientists. They regard the dis turbances as a geological anomaly for they say that the greatest seismic disturbance is known def initely to be in February, March and April. Their opinion coincides with that of Father Aondorf, direc- tor of the Georgetown University Seismic Observatory.
 The government scientists have no particular scientific reason to sug- gest for the frequency of the re- cent earth disturbances. They are making no special study of the earthquakes, and their opinion is that geology is too young a science and too little is known of it for anyone to attempt an explanation of the cause of the anomaly.
 Biologists recognize that the sur face of the earth is in state of continual unrest, and they explain that whenever the accumulated force passes the breaking point" earth quakes follow. The disturbances which recently have occurred in three continents are regarded by scientists as movements of the earth's crust and yet they say that some of the shocks may have ex- tended to a depth of POO miles.
 Fault lines or weak places in the earth are well known to the geologists. according to G. P. Mer- Till, curator of the national museum, who explains that because of this knowledge a general prediction re- garding the area of disturbance can be made by the scientists. But he adds, mo sane man" would at tempt to say exactly where or when for fault may extend for several hundred miles.

A Favorable Discovery

1t has been known for = long time
that there was a great deal. OF coal
all over the Nine Mile hill country.
But very few ever expected to flnd
as much as there IL. Mr. Buchanan
who bought the Tobe House ranch
over year ago has been using coal
for his own use out of mine OH the
ranch. During last week he and his
son opened up n new mine'and found
u vein OF solid coal with no rock or
slate in it, thirty-five feet six inches
thick. This vein Is larger than the
Mt. Streeter vein.
This shows what resources, In the
way OF coal alone, that this county
possesses. liza railroad were to be
built from Mt. Streeter to Meeker,
nearly half the distance would bs
built on beds of coal. The survey
which was made last fall called for .
tunnel of about one half mile through
Nine Mile hill. The surveyors esti-
mated that the coal that would be-
taken out to make the tunnel would
nearly pay for its construction.

Some Unusual Weather

When people here were complain

out by the Weather Man all over the
state, particularly In Denver and
east Of the main range. In the capt.

worst storms Of many years ragged
through Saturday and Sunday last.
1t is reported that nearly two feet
of snow fell In Denver. All traffic
WAS tied up. Train service was COM
pletely suspended on all lines. Seven
lives are reported as lost. The live
stock losses will run into hundreds Of
thousands Of dollars. ii
Locally, it showed most Of the time
during last Saturday and Sunday,
but most Of the snow went into the
ground and was all gone by Tuesday.

Railroad Tie-up

The Moffat road is still out of conf
mission aud there seems to be no
prospect of n through train for sever
al days. Local stores are running
pretty low on food supplies and stock
feed is getting scarce. Several land
and business deals are being delayed
and it is reported that quite number
Of immigrants are being held in Den
yer. Railroad officials are unable to
make any statements In regard to the
situation. The tie-up is the result
of the worst storm in the history OF
the road and 1t is reported that eight
miles of track this side of the snow
shed is coyered with ice. AS usual
there are many conflicting reports as
to conditions but there Is little alb
solute knowledge. First class mail
is reaching here by devious routes,
but no parcel post.-Crais Courier

Parcel Post

Much complaint has been heard
past week, In Meeker, because par
Gel post stun was hot coming In.
Investigation shows that the gov
ernment authorities lately issued
orders that all parcel post matter be
stored at Rifle till the roads get bet
ter.
1t IL also OF record that when
the parcel post stuff commen-
ced piling up at Rifle end, the post
master over there WAS instructed by
authorities to hire private outfits to
take the stuff to Meeker; that the
postmaster offered three scents II
pound to convey it to Meeker, bui
nobody would tackle the job even al
these high figures. So everybody
can do their own kicking.
