"EARTHQUAKE FELT IN BELLA COOLA

"Bella Coola, Jan. 20 - On Saturday, January 4, at 8 P.M. there was
a very distinct shock felt, lasting about 15 seconds; felt principally
in the lower part of the valley. On Saturday, the 5th, the tides were
very high indeed, higher in fact than for the past 12 years; no doubt as
a result of the earthquake shock. No damage was done."
