THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND. WEDNESDAY. APRIL 24, 1918, CALIFORN INS RISING AGAIN EARTHQUAKE FROM RUNS San Jacinto and He met, Razed Sunday, Have Started Work of Reconstructon. L Angeles. April 24. (U. P.) With out aid from outside sources, Han Jacinto and Hemet. towns 90 miles south and east of here. , which were razed by earthquake Sunday, besran reconstruc tion Tuesday. Contracts have been Jet In nearly every' Instance for rebuilding-. Out of the anil gray heaps of bro ken brick and mortar cltUens say will rise new and better towns. The first estimate of damage of $500.- 000 don to the towns still stands. How ever, the damage suffered In other parts of Southern California Is considerably lower. Scientists today were puzzled by the strange phenomena attendant on the great temblor. Water in mountain springs, -both hot and cold, rose two feet and maintained the new surface. Several wells In the course of boring and in which water had not yet been struck, developed fine flows. The San Jacinto river, dry a minute before the shock, was flowing a good stream im mediately after. In some rare cases water was 'forced from the earth like a geyser and new springs were developed The flame that dozens of people saw flash up simultaneously with the earth bulge cannot be explained, nor can the great clouds of dust that enveloped the mountain range. Although offers of financtal aid have poured In from many sources, neither town has yet accepted. Chester M Kline, editor of the San Jacinto Regis ter and a state assemblyman, thinks it will be necessary, however, as both In Hemet and San Jacinto business Is para lyred, hundreds are out of employment and the financial loss and burden of re construction are oppressive.

St. Louis, Mo., April 24. (U. P.) Fu That the earthquake which rocked certain portions of California a few days ago was caused primarily by the sinking of the ocean bel In the mld I'aclflc south Is the opinion of Dr. David Starr Jordan, chancellor of Stanford university, a visitor In Portland on a war lecture tour. Dr. Jordan denounced as scientifical ly untenable the generally accepted the ory that the temblors which have vU Ited certain sections of the Pacific Coast are caused by volcanic action or steam explosions, lie said : . "After an exhaustive study into the scientific phases of earthquakes, it ap pears certain that the shocks are caused first by a" sinking of the ocean bed In the mld-Paclfic south. This disturb ance of the earth's crust has In turn caused a rift which is believed to ex tend from the region of the Bering sea south along the coast to Patagonta. How deep this rift Koe no one knows, although It Is to be presumed that it extends to the farthermost depth of the solid land. The shifting of the earth's crust due to this rift caused the tem blors. It is not likely that another se vere shock such aj visited California In 1906 will occur again for 30 to 40 years. "Another factor to be considered Is the geological condition of the Coast mountain belt. This mountain chain is the youngest of its character In the world." Canadian Veterans Speak Deer Island.
