At, NBJf ABA fAWpriJji? "'June' coast line upper California Ore' struck deadly Series of earthquakes almost as intense as the famous temblors of 1906. A. woman was killed, two men 'we're'- seriously iiijare'd 'and property 'damage was estimated in the thousands of dollars. Four distinct shocks were -felt for -a distance of 300 miles, extending from Humboldt and Del Norte counties Roseburg, Ore. Striking in the eariy morning hours and running a sparsely settled cquntry, the quakes caused far less damage 'and loss of life.

Loss of life and damage were kept to a minimum by the fact that the quakes struck in the eai'ly morning, hours and spent their force in sparsely settled country. Seismologists believed the temblors probably extended far out to sea. Mrs. Wallace McCutcheon. 25, was crushed to death 'by a chimney which collapsed in her bedroom here as she slept.

'Her' husband's leg was broken and several ribs crushed. Ralph- Young, Eureka, was ths only other person reported injured. He suffered two broken ribs when against a machine in a bakery. with 12,500 population. was the largest in the stricken area.

Crescent City, Ferndale, Fortuna, Arcata, Ficldbrook and other centers were visited by the tremors. Most of the damage was confined to plate glass windows and brick chimneys, but there were thousands shattered. Fire-departments were on the alert for flames from broken mains, but none was reported.

Forty-seven per cent of the workers engaged to date' are' ex-service men, and 1,049 Nevada citizens foeen placed, to a report submitted, yes; terday by Leonard D. Blood to Archie L. Cross, state director of the federal employment service, and William Royle, state labor commis- i sioner. Blood is manager of the federal-state free employment office at Las Vegas. According to figures submitted bs the Six Companies, Ina, the con-.

the largest number of men employed by the' company since stated on the project is slightly more than 3,200. The force has varied from time to time, at. various stages of construction, with such numbers employed as could be to the greatest amount of efficiency. A tabulation, made May 1, 3,084 men on.the-payrolls. The turnover for the month of May showed a total of 749 men time checked and 275 hired leaving a total of 2,539 men at work at the present time.

According to Blood, this probably' represents the low mark of em- ployes for the remainder of the" year. This will depend, more or less, however, on the flood stags of the Colorado river. While seemingly; ample precautions have been taken and preparations made to care for the volume of water equal to th! record flow of the river, it is sidered possible for a a new high i record to be established this season, in view of the heavy snows which covered a large part of the territory, through which the river flows for the six layers of card fabric under the tread in this tire, two do not run from bead to bead--they are really cord "breaker strips" and that's what we cail them, although some tire-makers call them extra plies. 79 A TUBE $1.03 CASH PRICES at new Famous Lifetime Guaranteed SUPERTWIST CORD TIRES Big husky hahdsomeGoodyears---QUALITY tires within reach of all--built by Goodyear processes, with Goodyear craftsmanship, and measuring up to Goodyear standards in. every way--at prices so low you can afford new rubber all aroundi Each ln Prs.

from Eva Esabel Parker from Murray. Washoe county will co-operate closely with the United States forest service in fire prevention and fire control activities the present season in the mountainous area bordering Reno to the west, it was announced yesterday following a conference between the county commissioners and H. I. Snider, district ranger at Truckee. A11 hiring of- men to fight- fires that may occur in the region and the supervision of fire-fighting will be in charge of the forest service.

The commissioners also adopted the same wage scale for fire'fighters as now in vogue in all the national forests and by the state of. California, which is 20 cents an hour and board. T. A. Lotz, state surveyor general, also attended, the conference.

The Washoe county board also will: start work soon in the construction of a road, about a half mile in length, leading from the main road to the summit of Mt. McClellan in the Virginia range, where a lookout station is to be established. This will enable the forest service to take in material to erect the station to be built this as soon as federal appropriations. become available. The station will be a standard lookout and will cost about $1,200.

The commission also adopted a resolution along fire prevention lines in which. both the municipal and Boeing airports will be requested, to-equip, all planes with cigarette, cigar and. ash receptacles and to post signs warning pilots and passengers of the danger, of. setting forest fires by the throwing of lighted cigarettes or cigars from, airplanes.

Carrier PigefonFed By Nevada Rancher A. carrier pigeon, hungry and weary, dropped down of the skies at the Prank ranch at Weeks, near Fort Churchill, yesterday afternoon at 5 o'clock and was fed and cared for. On the aluminum band on the right leg were the letters and. figures "AU30" and "OHC8399;" on the rubber left leg, "NI60." The pigeon was in good condition and-was to be released at 6 a. m.

today after a night's rest, Garavanta said. June Senator William E. Borah, republican dry leader, today severely criticized the resubmission prohibition plank formula agreed to party leaders here. Borah sai ne plank was a rare combination, of "hypocrisy and insincerity" and written on the same theory that "Barnum conducted his throughout his life." The resubmissioii plank, it learned, would declare strongly for law enforcement, against the -return of the saloon and will be drafted with a view to determining whether the 18th amendment should be retained, modified or repealed. It has the tacit approval of President ver.

I Borah's scorching assault came after publication of details of the plank formula which had been discussed at conferences with, republican leaders engineered by James Garfield, Cleveland, lawyer, who is to be chairman ot the resolutions committee. "If the republican party is to stand for repeal," he said, "it must some alternative solution to Iprotect the dry sttaes and to pre- 'vent return the saloon." No such alternative, Borah add, ed. has been offered. This sugges- i tion was a concession for Borah 'who has hitherto stood steadfastly against the republican convention declaring itself other than for law enforcernen. Garfield announced tonight there is general agreement among party leaders "in principle" on a prohibi- RECORD- DRINKING'BEER PARIS, June world's record for beer drinking tumbled again when J.

The plank, as published, reads: "The republican party is the party of the constitution arid we stand for its complete observance and also for the faithful enforcement of all law. We abhor' he saloon and are unalterably opposed, to its "We recognize, however, the honest differences of opinion regarding the eighteenth amendment and. we recognize the right of the people, who ordained the' constitution, to pass upon any portion of that instrument. "We, therefore favor the prompt re-submission by congress of the 18th amendment to the people of the several states, acting through non-partisan conventions called for that sole purpose in accordance' with the provisions of Article Five to determine whether that amendment shall be retained, repealed or modified." The Washoe county consihiSSion- ers refused a petition" them by local. music teachers asking for the installation a grand piano in the audltoriuni of the county library building yesterday.
