NEW YORK, Sept. 23 (by Associa
ted Press).—Military and civilian
aeronautical experts declare that the
completion of the recent trip to Nome
by the four army aviators was an
epochal in its military and commercial
importance as Bleriot’s first flight
across the English channel since it
opens Alaska to aeronautics.
Reports state that the Alaskans are
determined to bring about regular
communication thruogh the air and
now look to the government to foster
the new project.
As the result of the flight, it is said,
an aerial route has been photographed
and charted diagonally across the
United States, Canada and Alaska,
with tentative supply and air service
sites.
The air board states that the follow
ing has been accomplished by the
flight:
An effective -aerial route to the
Northwest corner of the American
continent and Asia has been estab
lished. Inaccessible areas in Alaska
which have never been mapped have
been charted and photographed.
Usefulness of the airplanes as a
means of transport, both for mail, pas
sengers and freight has been demon
strated. Necessity of landing fields,
and service stations throughout the
United States and its territories has
been shown.
Durability of modern airplanes and
motors has been proved and it has
been learned that flying is safe, even
over territory where transport by
railroad, automobile, and wagon is
considered extremely dangerous.
The report of Captain St. Clair
Street, who was in command of the
expedition, states that the flyers con
sidered the route across the Eastern
states, as having few landing fields
and not ideal in any instance. The
middle west and Canada, he said, as
fas as Edmonton, was ideal
“The expedition sighted innumer
able glaciers,” said Captain Street,
“and rain, low fog and clouds were
prevalent. Yukon and Alaska are ex
tremely rough and partly forested,
and afford no natural landing places
except on river bars, but the route
from Wrangell to Nome is ideal for
water planes.”

LISBON, Sept. 22 (by Associated
Press).—A coal shortage is being
keenly felt in Portugal owing to the
prohibition of coal exportation from
England and the absence of any good
coal producing districts in this coun
try.
All coal for industries was imported
chiefly from Cardiff and Newcastle
and since that has ceased and orders
placed in the United States have been
cancelled, the situation threatens to
become serious and people are look
ing forward with alarm to the coming
winter. Abnormal conditions exist as
a result, all restaurants, cafes and
all places of amusement must close
promptly at midnight and external
illuminations are prohibited.
There is but little coal produced in
Portugal, which has been entirely de
pendent on imported coal. For dom
estic purposes charcoal is chiefly used
all over the country in small earthen
ware stoves specially made for its use.
Now, however, even that has disap
peared as the price of fuel rose to
such an extent that the government
was obliged to enforce fixed prices. In
consequence, although there is plenty
of charcoal farmers are not sending it
to market, hoping to obtain ever in
creasing prices for wood.
In the meantime all Portugal is
suffering from utter absence of coal
and people are obliged to buy wood
when it is obtainable. Middleclass
and poor people burn sawdust in small
iron stoves expressly invented during
the war for that purpose and also use
impervious boxes lined with straw,
that finish cooking the food, after it
is removed, boiling, from the stove.
Many families unable to cook at home
are having their meals at the restau
rants.
JAPANESE PROFESSOR
PREDICTS MORE QUAKES
HONOLULU, T. H., Sept. 23 (by
Associated Press).—Large destructive
earthquakes, like lightning, never
strike twice in the same place, Doc
tor P. Omori of the Tokio Imperial
university declared here recently in an
address before the Pan-Pacific Scien
tific congress. Dr. Omori is consid
ered the leading volcanologist and
seismological authority of Japan.
The Pacific ocean, according to Dr.
Omori, is almost entirely surrounded
by an earthquake zone and a great
ring of volcanoes. The cause of the
earthquakes, he said, lies in the in
stability of the earths crust. Many
tremblors, he added, originate beneath
the surfaces of the earth, many of
them becoming so feeble by the time
they reach the surface that only a
seismograph records the sensation.
Oscillations sent out by earthquakes
and take three hours and twenty min
travel at the rate of two miles a second
utes to circle the globe, said the Doc
tor.
In conclusion the Tokio professor
said he believed the earth’s volcanoes
might become inactive but the earth
quake would never stop.

LOS ANGELES, Cal., Sept. 23 (by
Associated Press).—Recent increases
of passenger fares -on railroads are
expected to cause passengers to pat-,
ronize day coaches heavier than in the
past, according to Marius de Braband,

To care for the rush to the day
coaches, the Salt Lake line has ordered

Absolutely pure aceyteline gas is
