FfRST PHOTOGRAPHS j
OF EARTHQUAKE ARE !
BROUGHT TO JUNEAU
: L s ——; !
The recent earthquake shocks in
the Cook Inlet region were no
child's play, but the real thing, ac
cording to arrivals here from An-|
chorage. And photographs taken
on the Susitna River flats substan-!
tiate their stories of shocks of
great force and some duration.
Minor shakes were still being
felt occasionally late last week.
The worst of the disturbance was
regarded as over.
In Anchorage, persons walking
the streets had difficulty in main
taining their footing. And up the
Susitna Valley the tremors were
even more severe. Tom Tillotson,
who returned here this week from
Anchorage, brought with him pho
i tographs taken by two trappers in
that section. Cracks in the sur
face of the earth are shown, some
| of them five feet wide. Ice in the
; river was piled up high and
I tumbled out on the river's banks.
