UNITED HAS FLOWN
55,000 FLIGHTS
ACROSS THE CONTINENT AND
HUNDREDS OF FLIGHTS TO ALA--A
United Air Lines’ Ma inliners
recently completed a record of
55,000 flights over the famous
Main Line Airway between
Pacific Coast cities and New
York. First to blaze a direct
transcontinental route from
Seattle, Vancouver, B. C., and
other coast ports, first to pio
neer air service from Seattle to
San Diego, United has achieved
an unmatched goal of 275 mil
lion miles’ flying experience.
We’re looking ahead. Through
an application recently filed with
the Civil Aeronautics Board,
United seeks authority to offer
the Territory of Alaska the ad
vantages of Mainliner Service.
If its application is granted,
Anchorage, Yakutat, Juneau and
Ketchikan will have through
service to Seattle . . . thence
south and eastward over
United’s nationwide system. At
Anchorage, United1! Ley «*st*
west route would serve the net
work centering there rrom the
West, South and North; at
Juneau, the line* tht We6t
and North.
Today, United’s objective is
to do its share in a tremendous
war job. In addition to conduct
ing its Coast-to-Coast and Bor
der-to-Border domestic airmail
passenger-express services,
United personnel, flying for the
Air Transport Command, have
operated hundreds of flights
from the U. S. to Alaska.
In postwar days, expanding
Alaska and the West will need
more and faster air transporta
tion. United is therefore look
ing to the future, preparing yet
finer Mainliner service with
which we hope to serve the
Territory of Alaska.

i Local Amateur Has
;New Quake Theory
A possible explanation of the
local earthquake of August and
of a recent unusual quake on the
east coast of the United States
was offered here this week by
Olaf Halverson, high school
principal and mathematics teach
er, who for years has made
charts of the planets and ob
served their movements
Mr. Halverson said a possible
explanation of the phenomena is
an unusual grouping of five
planets, namely, Mercury, Ven
us, Mars, Jupiter and Neptune
in the vicinity of the autumnal
equinox.
According to Newton’s law of
universal gravitation, he ex
plained, each of these planets
exert an attracting force on the
earth and it therefore follows
logically that the five congre
gated planets give a combined
and additional attraction suffi
cient to release any previously
existing strain in the earth’s
crust.
Whenever the moon and sun
are in favorable positions to
cause the highest strains, as 4
times of highest tides, the ad
ditional exertion from these
planets is great enough to cause
a fracture of the earth’s crust
and result in an earthquake.
The amount of pull exerted
by a planet is shown, he said, by
Neptune, which was discovered
because Uranus was drawn from
its course whenever Neptune
was in close proximity to it.
These earthquake causing con
ditions will exist for a month or
two, Mr. Halverson said, espec
ially at new and full moon and
when the moon is at perigee, or
closest to the earth.
The moon will be closer to the
earth on October 2, and in com
bination with the additional pull
of the five grouped planets, that
date or days near that date may
see occurrence of more earth
quakes, Mr. Halverson pre
dicted.
Mr8. Harvey Edwards, wife of
Harvey Edwards, painter, left
recently for her former home in
Coeur d’Alene, Idaho for a
visit. She may go east to visit
relatives and expects to be gone i
two months.
