LAST SUNDAY’S ECLIPSE
AND WHAT SCIENTISTS SAY
OF LUNAR OBSCURATION
Because of the fact that 1917 almanacs
have not yet made their appearance in this
camp, a total eclipse of the moon last Sun
day night came upon the community un
awares. The night, though cold, was a
brilliant one. the full moon dominating the
heavens with such a Hood of light as to 1
make it appear almost like daytime, and |
there was not a cloud visible. The first j
intimation that many residents of this vicin- j
ity received of the phenomenon was when (
ti e obliging telephone operator called the !
subscribers' attention to it. tnd from that
time until the earth's shadow ceased to in- j
terpose between the sun and moon the |
interesting event was closely watched
Because of the fact that there are still ;
many erroneous ideas prevalent as to the 1
cause of this natural phenomenon, the fol •
lowing encylcopedic information will be of :
interest:
"A lunar eciipsr is cMised by tiic inter
position of the earth between the sun ami
the moon, and the moon's consequent im
mersion in the shadow of the earth. This
can only occur when the moon is in opposi
tion to the sun in the heavens at the time
of the full moon, and both sun and moon
era rnae the moon's nodes, i. e.. the points
1ahere her orbit crosses the plan of the
eliptie. Let the sun, earth and moon be
regarded its spherical bodies and their cen
ters ranged in a right line. Then the sun
will project beyond the earth a conical
shadow called the umbra, in which the moon
is centrally immersed. The surface of this
cone will be transcribed by a line tangent
to the same side of both sun and earth and
moving about the line joining to their cen
ters. The apex of the shadow cone, or the
umbra, is in the avenge about 157,000
miles beyond the earth's center, and the
diameter of the umbral cone at the point
where the moon crosses it on the average
about two and two-thirds the diameter of
the moon, with a variation from scarcely
twice to more than three times the lunar
diameter. If, ag:,:n. two lines tangent on
opposite sides of the sun. and crossing be
tween sun and earth, move about the line
joining the centers of these bodies, these
lines will describe the surface of the two
cones of which the one extending beyond
the earth is that of the penumbra. Unless
the moon he near one of her nodes at the
time of the full moon she will not strike
the shadow, but pass above or below it.
If the sun is less than four days from a
node of the moon's orbit, an eclipse must
occur; if more than fourteen days from
11 lunar node, jn eclipse is impossible. These
are called the lunar eclipse limits. Since
the moon must be quite near her node to
produce a lunar eclipse, it may happen that
an entire year may elapse without an eclipse
of the moon. The lunar eclipses may be
either partial or total, according as the
moon is immersed either partly or entirely
in the earth's shadow cone. The phenom
ena of a total lunar eclipse are of a simple
I character. The immersion of the moon in
the penumbra can be observed only with
difficulty. The edge of the shadow itself
presents a hazy outline when seen in a
telescope, and the times of contact cannot
be observed with accuracy. When com
pletely within the earth’s shadow the moon
I is usually still plainly visible in a dull,
I copper-colored illumination which is pro
duced by the sunlight shining through the
earth’s atmosphere, suffering absorption of
its higher tints, and experiencing deflection
into the shadow cone through refraction.
Lunar eclipses have, however, occurred in
which the moon was almost entirely in
visible during the total phase. The ob
scuration of the earth’s atmosphere by
clouds accounts for these dark eclipses.
Specially bright lunar eclipses have, on the
other hand, been attributed to terrestrial
auroras occurring at the same time. The
most interesting physical obscuration ef
fected during its eclipse concern the lumi
nous and heat radiations of the moon. Valu
able astronomical observations then possi
ble are the determinations of the times of
occultation of faint stars, whence precise
values of lunar position, diameter and
parallax may be derived.”
FORMER OTTER CREEK LADY
SUCCUMBS TO CANCER
Mrs. Mary Kukrinen. well and favorably
known in the lditarod district, who left here
some two years ago, died recently in a hos
pital Outside, according to information given
to The Pioneer this week, which, however,
was lacking in details. Cancer was the
cause of death.
Mrs. Kokrinen for some time conducted
the mess house for Dawson & Bates, on
At ter creek, and J.fter leaving here she re
sided at Anchorage for some time. Her
many friends here will learn with regret
of her demise.
WAS HIS HUMOR CONSCIOUS?
I ,\ young woman in Pittsburgh was re
' cently looking at material in one of that
city's leading dry goods stores in an at
tempt to select what would make an attrac
tive ,-kirt for the sea shore. The clerk
rather strenuously suggested the availability
of several patterns.
“Hut," said the young woman, “they are
rather loud, don’t you think !
Without a glimmer of a smile, and in a
perfectl) correct tone for a salesman to as
sume, he replied:
“Too loud for awnings- just right for
skirts.” Chicago Herald.

The New Mail Carrier
A new type of mail carrier has replaced
the weatherbeaten stage driver of fiction in
Alaska, if Arthur J. Hill of Valder, who is
at the Savoy, is any criterion, says the Se
attle Post-Intiiligencer In the old days,
when the trad ■ were far from distinct and
dog trams and pack horses were the chief
mode of travel, the stage driver was far
| different from his modern prototype, the
I automobile mail carrier. Last summer the
| postofliee department authorized the carry
ing of mail to Fairbanks on the 1100-mile
trail from Valdez by automobile. Hil and
two associates took the contract and car
ried the mails through in fine shape, and
now the postofliee officials in Alaska believe
that all of the Interior mail next year will
be routed over the overland trail. Hill
wore out three cars in making twenty live
trips, and established a record of forty-one
hours for covering the distance. This time,
has never been equaled. "There is no auto
route in the world that begins to compare
with the Valdez-Fairbanks trail," Hill de
dared. "The trail goes through a real para
dise, both of scenery and game. 1 have shot
Ivnx, fox, moose, caribou and sheep with ,
out getting out of my car, and 1 have seen
red foxes galore. One trip out of Fair
banks we saw a blrck fox from the car.
The Alaska road commission has charge of ■
the trail, and is doing all in its power to im
prove it. Next year it should be possible
to make the trip over the trail to Fairbanks
in the space of thirty-six hours.”

What the Mine Inspector Says
I “They made a $200,000 clean-up just be
I fore I got there,” said William Maloney,
l territorial mine inspector, to the Juneau
Empire, speaking of the Marshall City dig
gings recently. “The camp is a good one
so far as one creek is concerned, but if no
other paystreak is discovered this winter the
camp will be practically deserted after next
summer. They have one very good creek, j
with about six claims on it, hut so far noth- l
ing more has been found. Their; are about I
”)00 men prospecting in the section, mostly j
from the Iditarod and Ruby sections, and
they fully exixct to find something before !
the winter is over. The claims being worked j
turned out a good clean up this summer,
mi next summer will undoubtedly turn out
another one, but unless something more is
found the camp will never be a large one.”

Soft Drink Joints Raided
Not since the killing of Soapy Smith has
the metropolis of l.vnn canal suffered such
disgrace. Booze, divorced from Skagway
early last fall, has been discovered in the
soft drink emporium! Two of Skagway's
leading soft drink men are out on bail,
and Detective Naud of Juneau has taken j
his evidence, deposited it safely in a strong
box, and the next federid grand jury' wib j
handle the matter, says a Skagway dispatch, j
Raids on the .-..ft drink places known as I
t!ie Pantheon and Mascot took place last i
Saturday. In both places liquor is said to j
have been fount!. The proprietors were :
f laced under $1,000 bonds.. The search was j
made by a special officer named Naud, from j
Juneau. The detective spent several days j
shadowing the suspected places, and the man I
hunt culminated in the search and arrest. ;

Hunting Fatality
Telephone reports to (he Nome Nugget on j
October 25 from Ctnd’e staled that Clyde j
Kenyon, an old-timer in the district, was j
dead, having shot himself while out hunt- j
ing on the Inmachuk river. According to j
the reports reaching Candle, Kenyon started j
out to hunt, but failed to return within a i
reasonable time. Search was made and
resulted in the finding of the dead body of
the young man a mile or so above the road
house. The gun with which the death
wounds were inflicted was lying beside the
body. Full details of the unfortunate oc
currence could not be learned, but it was
stated that the shooting was apparently ac
cidental. The dead man was from Spo
kane. where it is said that he has a brother
who is engaged in the practice of law, Ken
yon himself was studying for^the bar. For!
the (iast several years he has been in the
employ of Ivor Johnson and K. E. Pierce,
Until last year he had been in the habit of
spending his winters on the Outside, but
last winter he remained in the Inmachuk |
and was engaged in mining.

Anchorage Property Holders in Bad Fix
So serious is the predicament of promi
nent pool room and billiard parlor owners
at Anchorage as the result of arrests for
gambling on their premises that they have
called Attorney L. V. Ray from Seward at
a heavy expense to defend them, says the
Seward Post. Under the ruling of Secretary
Lane lot owners at Anchorage are liable
to forfeit their property if liquor is sold
thereon or if gambling occurs. During the
past two weeks numerous raids have been
made on the pool halls and arrests made on
warrants sworn to by Assistant United
States Attorney Munley. The pool halls in
volved in the cases are valuable property,
the lots running at from $5,000 to $7,000
each, and the buildings and equipment at
from $5,000 to $20,000. In cases where
there is a conviction the power lies with
the secretary of the interior to cancel the
title to the ground where he deems the own
ers had knowledge of the offense. In cases
where lots were confiscated following the
sale of liquor it was held that the secretary
might cancel title if he saw fit, regardless
of circumstances, and there is no appeal
from his decision. There have been strong
hints of some sort of graft in connection
with the gambling in Anchorage in recent :
issues of the Anchorage Times, but the of
ficials involved in the report or the manner
in which they grafted were not set forth.
Wants Liquor Destroyed
Protest by the women of Seward against
the sale here by the government of liquor
confiscated at Anchorage is worthy of seri
ous consideration by the federal officials.
Seward by its vote in the recent election
made it very plain that the people of this
community want liquor selling abohshed.
When Uncle Sam confiscates opium in bulk
the drug is destroyed, although it might
well be sold at auction to wholesale drug
Birins for the manufacture of morphine,
codein and other drugs useful to science,
but deucedly harmful to mankind when
used indiscriminately. The American phar
macopoeia retains these derivatives on its
list of drugs, but it has cast whisky, brandy
and all other alcoholic beverages into outer
darkness, and retains only grain alcohol.
That the government in its all-seeing wis
dom should destroy the opium of commerce
which is confiscated only because it is being
brought into the country in an unlawful
manner, and yet hold and resell the whisky
confiscated is absurd Especially in the fare
of the fad that this particular bunch of
booze is, branded by dealers as a villainous
concoction. —Seward Past.

Railroad Construction Delayed
Captain Frederick Mears, member of the
Alaska engineering commission, recently de
dared in Seward that the government rad
road between Seward and Fairbanks would
not he completed before 1929 or 1921. in
stead of 1918, as had been previously an
nounced. He also said that the pert of
the system along Turnagain arm. between
Seward and Anchorage, would not be ready
for operation until 1918, instead of by
November, 1917, as originally cutsienit Jaied.
Captain Mears stud that construct ion work
had been heavier and slower than expected,
and that the getting of supplied had been
more difficult than planned. Fast summer,
he stud, was the roughest in years on Turn
again arm, which retarded construction, and
the weakness of bridges on the old Alaska
Northern line, he found, prevented the use
of rotary snow plows to keep the road open
beyond the Forty-mile station. Instead of
2,(!00 men at work on the Turnagain arm
division, planned by the engineering com
mission he said there were less than 1,00(1

New Kuskokwim Trader
A recent Seattle dispatch to the Seward
Post says that Ed Samueboti has started
for Seward to mush to the Kuskokwim,
where he will engage in trading.
Defends Cable System
The cable ship Burnside is now at work
on the cable, and has picked up one of the
broken ends, says the Seward Gateway. An
official of the signal corps who saw a criti
cism in the Gateway some time ago has in
formed this paper of many facts which go
to show that really the government should
not be criticized for faults in the sending of
messages. In the first place, he states that
Atlantic cables break down frequently.
Crossing the Atlantic between the United
States and the British isles alone are thirty
three cables, which make it possible to
have continuous service. Alaska, of course,
would not support more thati one, and this
one was laid long before halibut fishing be
came so large an industry in the.-e water.-.
In objecting to the ridicule heaped on the
excuse made that halibut boats break the
cable, this official points out that in one
half mile of the Alaska cable alone were
found 137 halibut hooks when it was being
repaired. The most interesting fact men
tioned by this official is that a wireless sta- ;
tion at be ward could never give a service j
like the cable gives. The messages coming ;
hy wire!-'-: - would be just as subject to do- ■
lay as the messages coming now. The gov I
eminent has twenty-one wireless Nation.-, m
Alaska, and it has been found through them
and by experience all over the world that
cables* ate far more efficient and will be j
until wireless is developed fun her The fig- |

BOOTLEGGING AND GAMBLING
RAMPANT AT ANCHORAGE
Men coming over the trail from Anchor- \
age report that bootleggers and gamblers j
in the Inlet metropolis have the situation i
by the horns and are reaping a harvest, j
Officials charged with the enforcement of |
the law over there seem unable to cope with |
the conditions, and Anchorage, the largest j
••dry" town in Alaska, has become so wet .
that it is headquarters for liquor sellers in
all the surrounding camps. i
Before the freeze-up it was reported from !
reliable sources that a consignment of fif- ,
teen barrels of whisky landed at Anchorage ,
from outside of Alaska was hustled aboard ;
a small boat and sent to Katalla, south of
Cordova.
One of the most common methods used
by the bootleggers to evade the law is to
order liquor by express, directing that the
shipments be sent to as many different
names as necessary to keep the packages j
below the size allowed by law.
From an official from the Inlet well ac- j
quainted with the situation it was learned |
recently that liquor purchased in Seward j
and taken to Anchorage amounts to so small j
a part of the total landed there during the |
past summer as to be hardly worth eon- j
sideration. !
While a few large shipments handled by j
known bootleggers were seized during the
summer, the most extensive shipments, •
which came consigned to reputable mer- ;
chants or were shipped subject to order and .
bills of lading, with a draft attached, sent ,
through the banks, went through without j
seizure. One immense shipment, divided
up into small parcels, with a d'fferent name
on every package, went through easily.
More than two months ago engineering
officials then here were making attempts
to secure a better enforcement of the law,
but so far have not been able to get re
sults. It is possible that the situation ex
isting in regard to liquor and gambling had
something to do with bringing in the sol
diers, but as to this Anchorage officials have
maintained a discreet silence. Reward

SHRINKAGE IN CORD WOOD
DETERMINED BY STUDENTS
SEATTLE, rVee. IO.--Two students of
j the University of Washington, working un
! tier the direction of the college of forestry,
| have found that a cord of full length wood, ;
! when sawed into short lengths and repiled j
: in tlie ordinary stack, shrinks on an aver
age 24.7(1 per cent. Tor < 3 ise pilmg in {
| which iiO the sticks are carefully fitted to- j
| gethcr the shrinkage is 1-3.28 per cent. i
These figures were obtained in experi !
menu conducted in four wood yards near j
the university- The data explain, it is !
said, why some wood dealers are accused i
of giving short measure, in view of the
fact that they buy wood in full lengths
and usually measure il for delivery before !
they saw it.
'Hie investigation showed Htrt her that a
wagon box is a more invariable standard
■ f measurement. Short wood was thrown |
haphazard into a box and leveled off with ;
the tops of the sides. Several trials showed ]
less per cent of variation than did either
the loose or the tight piling methods. The j
experiments were conducted by Ralph i
Faulkner and Henry Sternberg.
The question is one of considerable im- i
portt.nee, according to Dean Hugo Wmken ■
welder of the college of forestry, because j
the law requires the wood dealers to do- j
liver a cord of stacked wood without al
lowing for shrinkage. A standard cord is j
defined by law as 128 cubic feet of four-1
foot wood.
Wood should lie measured on the basis;
of the standard cord, Dean Winkcmverder ]
believes, becaus-e to stack it for measure- j
ment after it is sawed into stove length
is obviously unfair to the wood dealers. He i
has been seeking for some time a standard;
which will obviate present misunderstand j
ings between dealers and their customers.
'lbe shrinkage of wood when it is re- j
duced to short lengths is not eutir.lv ac- j
counted for by the saw lust, according to
the dean. When wood is piled in four
foot lengths, lie says, the spaces between
the sticks ire caused partly by knots anu j
the curvature qf the sticks.
Many sticks are riraicht except for knot.- j
in one-third of their length. For t! roa ,
son, he explains, the cord of full i ngth •
wood, when cut into short Diigth-q w: i
stack lighter and will consequen.lv not
measure 128 feet. The college of forestry
will make furl lies investigations during
the winter.
EARTHQUAKE AT YAKUTAT
ONE OF WORLD’S GREATEST
Uncle Sam has for sale copies of a report :
by the United States Urological Survey, of ;
the department of the interior, on one of ;
the ten greatest earthquakes of historic j
times- that in the Yakutat 13av region of j
Al::ska, rays a Washington dispatch.
The Yakutat b3y earthquake occurred j
on September 3. 1S99. and was followed ,
during the next three weeks by many lass i
violent shocks. The area of greatest in- «,
tensity lay along the flanks of the St. Irhas j
range, in a region of high mountains an! ;
superb glaciers, end the movement was at- j
cc-nq a.nicd by enormous avalanches and j
rock slides. 'Ibis was a vivid demonstra
tion that the growth of the mountains is!
still in progress. At some places in the ,
region the land subsided and the forests
were submerged. At most places, however.
fhe land rose, and many points which be
fore had lain bel""' the l»vrl were elevr'ed
hove it. Barnacles which had lived in ,
ocean water were found forty-seven feet
above the sea.
In addition to making an exhaustive -
study of the movements of the land which
took place in the Yakutat bay region and
of the effects of the earthquake on the i
many glaciers of the region, the writers
amassed a great fund of information in re
gard to the intensity of the quake through
out the whole area within which it was
sensible, and recorded the testimony of
many witnesses. The shock was felt at
distances of 670 and 1,200 miles in oppo- .
-lte directions from Yakutat bey, and the j
area of the region over which the trem- 1
blines were felt is more than 1,500,000
square miles. This gives the Yakutat bay’
earthquake a place among the very greatest |
earthquakes of historic times.
Previous great shocks, without exceo- ]
linn, resulted w heavy loss of life, the nuiu
ber of persons killed reaching in one of
them the enormous »ot:J of more than
sixty thousand The Ynkutnt bay shock
was fortunately free from fatalities, be
cause the region in which it occurred is
sparsely settled.
