BIG BATTLE ENDS
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec., 14, (/P)—
An important battle in the strug
gle between railroads and trucking
companies for California’s freight
business ended by a three to two
decision. The State Railroad Com
mission granted the Valley Motor
Lines permission to operate “store
door” freight between San Fran
cisco, the East Bay and Fresno, an
area already served by rail trans
portation by the Southern Pacific
and by store door service by a
motor truck subsidiary of the rail
road.

i prediction of tides for the mariner,
| and to the intelligent execution of
much engineering work along the
coasts. A secondary tide station j
was also in operation at Cordova
through the cooperation of the |
Chamber of Commerce.
Twenty of the 105 magnetic sta
tions occupied during the year were ;
in Alaska. The object of the mag
netic work during the first half of
the year was to complete the oc- |
cupation of repeat stations—select
ed stations where observations are
repeated at five-year intervals—in
order to determine the change of
the earth’s magnetism with lapse,
of time. The results will appear!
in “Magnetic Declination in Alaska ■
in 1930.’’ A number of stations |
which had ceased to be available
were replaced to meet the needs of
local surveyors.
Continuous photographic records
of variations of the magnetic ele
ments were made at the five mag
netic observations of the Coast and
Geodetic Survey, which includes
the one at Sitka. Auroral observa
tions were also continued at Sitka.
Magnetic information was furnish
ed the Alaska Agricultural College
and School of Mines at Fairbanks,
in connection with the auroral pro
gram at that insittution establish
ed through a grant from the Rocke
feller Foundation.
Thanks to the helpful coopera
tion of the Bureau of the Budget
and the Congress, the increase in
funds for seismology permits a
steady advance in this compara
tively new field. The work is be
coming more and more directed to
ward obtaining results of value to
those who live in regions subject
to strong earthquakes, and espec
ially to engineers and architects
who must design buildings and
other structures. There has been
no neglect, however, of the scien
tific side of the work. As a result
of increased cooperation in the re
porting of earthquakes, the record
is far more complete than ever be
fore. Records of other than local
minor earthquakes have been con
tinued to be obtained at the ob
scervatories at Sitka, Alaska, and
Tucson, Ariz., at Honolulu, in co
operation with the University of
Hawaii, and at Chicago, 111., in co
oj>eration with the University of
Chicago. Preparations have been
completed to install new instru
ments at Sitka and at the interna
tional latitude observatory at Uk
iah, Calif. In addition, a number
of other educational institutions
have installed seismographs and
Developing, printing, enlarging
and framing at SYLVIA’S.
