The regular weekly meeting of tke Board of Directors Of the Nome Chamber If Commerce was called tc order Tuesday evening by the presi. dent, and during the meeting the subject of the Alaska mails predomi. mated. A telegram was sent to Governor Bone asking his assista ce in obtaining speedy action by the Department in awarding the con tract for the Nome-St. Michael mail route, insisting upon the vessel being staunch and of sufficient ca pacity to accommodate coastwise ship ping and able to pass rigid govern ment inspection.
 Another telegram was sent to Delegate Sutherland soliciting as- sistance to obtain a contract to re- lieve the mail congestion at Nome.
 Permission has been given the contractor to accept excess mail at Unalakleet for Nome but no pro- vision has been made to relieve the local congestion. The Chamber asks that 300 pounds excess be taken on each trip from Nome under the same conditions governing the Unalakleet situation. At the present time about 2000 pounds excess mail lies in the Nome office awaiting distri- button to outlying offices and unless immediate action is taken this mat ter must remain here until the open ing of navigation.

SHIFTING OF EARTH'S
 AXIS NOT ALARMING
(By John Wilson.)

(by JOhn WilSon.) A telegram to the Nugget of Jan. 31 announced that the axis of rota- tion of the earth. or in other words
 the poles. had shifted in position,
 and that the re-adjustment follow ing this change had caused tremend-
 Ous earth vibrations and extended
 the huge fault in the earth's crust which opened up along the Pacific
 Coast in 1906.
 If this report of the poles shifting is confirmed by later reports. it
 marks the most remarkable change
 that has taken place in historical times, for while the earth moves in some 12 different ways. it Is execut- ed with the precision and smooth ness of we'll adjusted machinery, and we would never be aware of it if
 scientists did not tell us of it. In fact, up till recent times it was popularly believed that the earth was stationary in space.
 Astronomers have discovered and calculated all possible changes of any moment in the earth's orbit or its rotation, and it is hard to believe that the poles could I;s.-s t shifted enough to cause the disturbance. Minute changes in the position of the earth's axis with regard to the
 surface actually do occur. The
 wandering of the pole. however. amounts to only about two-thirds of a second of arc. which means a cir cle of about 60 feet diameter. Such a slight movement would hardly be sufficient to upset the equilibrium of the earth's rotation.
 It is much more likely that the earth tremors were caused by breaks or slips in the rock structure which is common in mountain reg ions like along the Pacific Coast which are young and steep. with peak and ridge structure. It Is also possible that the cooling and consequent shrinking of the interior of the earth caused settling which is transmitted to the surface. result ing in violent shocks and tremors.
 Reverting again to the subject of possible abrupt or material changes of the poles. it is interesting to note that such changes were suspected in early times. Granted sufficient change in the position of the earth's axis in remote times, the climate of Alaska might have been tropical and the tropics frigid. Professor G. H. Darwin, who thoroughly investigat- ed the subject, claims that any past changes Of more than three degrees are improbable.
 According to other authorities, the earth when plastic might have been deformed by internal disturb ances enough to cause a change Of from 10 to IS degrees. The possi- bility of any abrupt or disastrous changes taking place is so remote that it need not cause any tiRorous soul to lie awake nights.

LANCASTER, Pa, Feb "a, 1922.
The prediction is freely made here by
those who believe they speak with the
voice Of authority that within another
month the entire crop of 1921 Lancas-
ter county will have changed hands.
The crops that go to make up the en-
tire output of Lancaster county will
by the end of that time, they contend,
either be in the hands of the manufac-
turers direct or the independent pack
ers or it will be pooled for working at
the Mt Joy, Lititz, Lancaster or the
smaller community packing houses.
Certain it is, however, that there was
considerable buying done up to the re-
cent snow storm in this section. Dur
ing the storm and while the roads were
still bad there had been let-up in the
buying, but general activity has been
noted recently and the agents for the
big concerns took the field again this
week. Latterly the General Cigar Go.
and Bloch Bros have been paying par
ticular attention to the crops in New
Providence and the lower end of the
county generally. The General Cigar
Co. seemed to hold to fixed price of
13 cents and they picked up what they
wanted at this figure. Bloch Bros,

HARTFORD, IT., FEB Z3, 1917.
The Connecticut State Board of Ag-
riculture, at hearing in the capitol
here today, decided that the tobacco
dealers, when they make out their
blanks to be filed with the state author
tiles, must give the highest and lowest
prices received for their tobacco during
the last three months in 1921. They
may omit putting down the average
price received, it was ruled by the COM
mission.
Every tobacco dealer must also give
the number of pounds he has sold of
each specific grade of leaf and the
number Of pounds unsold on January l,
1922.
An extended time was given the to.
bacco men by the state board in which
to file returns. as February 20 was the
original date named. There are two
kinds of reports to be returned, one by
dealers, warehouse owners or agents,
and the other for tobacco in warehouses
