Amundsen Trip
Shows Absence
Of Polar Land
Dr. Warren D. Smith
States Tetrahedral
Land Mass Theory

Airline May Pass Length of
Willamette Valley
Amundsen, by his recent flight;
over the north pole, has provel the j
scientists were correct, declared Dr.
"VVarren D. Smith, head of the geo-i
logy department and authority on:
geography.
Scientific men have contended
no large body of land would be
found in the polar regions and
Amundsen confirmed their belief.
Contrary to the popular idea that
an east and west line is the short-1
est distance between two points in
the same latitude, such a line on a
globe is not the shortest distance.
A “great circle” is the shortest line
that can be drawn between any two
points on a globe and through the
two point's. One can see then how
much shorter the passage is be
tween our continent and Asia when
once a line of communication is
established over this north pole
area, Dr. Smith pointed out.
Circle Shortest Line
The shortest distance between
Portland and Shanghai is the line
drawn north from Portland to Alas
ka and then south hugging the coast
fairly closely. This shortest dis
tance is on a line on the arc of the
great circle through these points.
Once an air line becomes estab
lished between the two continents
all traffic over this inter-continental
course will probably pass directly
over the northern part of the Will
amette Valley, Dr. Smith believes.
The scientists had based their
argument that there was no big
body of land in the northpolar reg
ions on the tetrahedral theory. Ex
plaining this theory, Dr. Smith
said:
“It has Deen shown Dy ODserva
tion that opposite every continent
on the globe is a basin of water;
opposite every old high land area
or “shield” is a corresponding low
area of water. Directly opposite
on the globe from Eurasia is the
South Pacific ocean and opposite
the Canadian Shield of North Am
erican continent is the Indian ocean.
High Land Opposite Low
“According to this theory there
should be four high points or
‘coigns’ to the globe, with four low
basins directly (opposite. At the
south pole there is a body of land
ranging up to 10,000 feet in eleva
tion. Hence; the scientists have
declared there should be mostly
water found at the north pole. This
theory is now proved valid.”
The second thing Amundsen’s
flight has shown is that passage
over the north pole is possible. Per
haps the only danger encountered
in the flight was the ice crystals
and this is a difficulty easily over
come, Df: Smith asserted, by use of
a covering to the gas bag that would
resist the abrasive action of the ice
crystals.
“Amundsen has made many ob-l
servations,” concluded Dr. Smith,
“which have not yet been publish
ed, but we do know that there is
no great body of land of continental
proportions in the extreme north
and that it is now possible for man
to pass over this hitherto little
known region, enormously cutting
time of travel between northern
Europe and Alaska.

titled “A contribution to the techi
que of studying and making inor
ganic correlations of sedimentary
subsurface formations.” The pur
pose has been to make it possible
for oil drillers to tell when they
have struck the bed of a well com
parable to the bed in another well.
This had previously been done by
means of fossils bat in some oil
wells there are. no fossils. By Mr.
Cox's system this may be done by
mean of purely inorganic methods.
The results of Mr. Cox’s investi
gations have been cheeked by the
California Bureau of Mines, in the
Bosecrancs wells in California, which
are among the deepest in the world.
The thesis is 12,000 words in
length and is divided into units.
The first part of the thesis deals!
with some independent work on the
methods of making thin sections
from fragile rocks, measuring the
roundness of sand grains, and stain
ing certain minerals, which it was
necessary to find before obtaining
results on the final problem.
Mr. Cox will take a series of writ

ton examinations and an oral ex
amination in geology sometime in
June. The oral examination is open
