CIRCLE COUNTRY HAS
NORTHWARD TREND
Writing to the Alaska College, a
^ » correspondent at Circle says that
the country thereabouts is mov
ing northward at the average
speed of a glacier; that an up
thrust fault in the Kegulak moun
{ tains is displacing areas a mile
in length and a thousand feet
in width and precipitating them
into a valley 2,000 feet below.
While there is inclination to
treat the pronouncement with
skepticism it will be recalled that
a German scientist, who recently
lost his life in Greenland, while
working on cosmic theories, an
nounced that Greenland, the larg
est island on earth, was moving
4- westward at the rate of 60 feet
annually. The same authority set
up an entirely new hypothesis re
garding the earth’s structure,
namely that it was composed of a
solid core, and adhering to this
core was another layer; still a
third layer, represented by con
tinents but not attached to the
core or secondary layer, completed ;
the surface as it appears today.
It is believed that earthquake
disturbances in the Fairbanks and
Circle districts are due to the dis
placements described in the Keg
ulak mountains.

UNFINISHED IH CENTURY
WASHINGTON, Sept., 21, (/P)_
“Measuring” the United States has
been in progress since 1816, under
supervision of the U. S. Coast and
Geodetic Survey.
About 35,000 miles of arcs of tri
angulation have been laid out
along the coasts, the national
boundaries and in the interior to
serve as base lines for exact meas
urments of distances and loca
tions. Before the job is completed
a total of 48,000 miles of arcs will
have to be laid out.
This so-called “triangulation net”
is essential in making topographic
maps used in flood control, high
way building, waterway transpor
tation, development of hydroelec
tric power, and extension of tele
phone, telegraph and electric pow
er lines.
The cableship Dellwood arrived
back in port at noon today and
tied up at the Standard Oil dock.
