Inland Sentinel, The, Kamloops, B.C., May 24, 1883

     "Earthquake--At five minutes to seven last evening  two  sharp  shocks
of an earthquake visited this vicinity.  The  movement  was  from  soutkdest
to northwest, the duration of both was about six seconds.  Buildings
were shaken violently, windows, gas fixtures and  crockery  rattled,  and
many people were scared but no one was hurt."

     "A Young Earthquake

     "A mild shock of earthquake visited the  valley  last  evening  shortly
after eight o'clock.  There was a loud rumbling and four or five distinct
vibrations were felt. Buildings were  slightly  shaken  and  loose  articles
rattled as with a heavy jar. The shock  was  noticed  by  large  numbers  of
people throughout the valley."

     "CHILLIWACK HAD AN EARTHQUAKE

     "A Slight Earth Tremor Distinctly Felt on Monday Afternoon  by  the
House Dwellers.

     "Dishes, Pictures and wall Bric-a-Bric Rattled and Swayed  for  about
Seven Seconds.

     "Not to be behind and out of the fashion with other places of
importance, Chilliwack experienced about 3:45 p.m. on Monday, a  slight
shock of earthquake.  The shock was quite perceptible to those in the
houses but those upon the street felt nothing of it.

     "The tremor or shock lasted about seven  seconds  and  set  dishes  and
windows rattling and pictures swayed upon the walls.  No people are
reported as alarmed. There were three distinct  shocks  recorded  on  the
instruments at Harrison House."

     "CHILLIWACK VALLEY EXPERIENCES SHAKE

     "Late sleepers rudely awakened by a general shaking up of surrounding
no damage.

     "Chilliwack city and valley experienced a real live shake  yesterday
morning a few minutes after six o'clock, which  lasted  several  seconds.
The tremor was the most pronounced experienced since 1871, and was
sufficient to arouse late sleepers, by the shaking of houses and the
rattling of windows. Whether the shake  was  caused  by  a  real  earthquake
or the fall of a massive glacier in the mountains caused by a long
season of dry weather is a matter of conjecture.

     "The latter view is accepted by many from the fact that  the  dis--
turbance appears to have been confined to the valley, including the
Agassiz district. In 1871, it was discovered after the  shock  of  that
time, that a big slice of Mt. Cheam peak had dropped about one thousand
feet. "

"SMALL QUAKE WAS FELT IN PENTICTON

"Earth tremor was noticeable all over province - from Mount Baker.

     "A distinct earth tremor was felt here at 6:05  o'clock  yesterday
morning. Dishes rattled on the pantry  shelves,  furniture  and  fixtures
in the houses shook and citilens generally accustomed  to  waiting  until
the respectable hour of eight before waking in the  morning  woke  rather
suddenly.

     "it is seven years since there was any evidence of  an  earthquake
shock in Penticton. Two years ago, there was a  very  distinct  shock  in
Vancouver and several buildings were slightly strained.

     "Insofar as can be learned absolutely no damage was done here  on
Wednesday. The houses shook for two or three seconds as  if  in  a  very
strong gale, but that was all.  Most of the sleepers in the upper floors
woke up, but those slumbering closer to the ground, say  that  they  did
not know that there was a tremor at all.

     "A report last night from Victoria stated that the location of the
event which shook the whole province yesterday morning,  was  placed  at
near Mt. Baker."

     "TOWN AND DISTRICT

     "A slight earthquake shock was felt by many in this city on Wednesday
morning shortly after five o'clock.  it seems to have been a little more
noticeable at Coldstream than in town."

     "A slight earthquake shock was felt here about half past five
o'clock on Tuesday evening last."

     "CITY FELT SHOCK OF EARTHQUAKE

     "The earthquake that shook the coast was distinctly felt in Chilliwack,
several persons becoming slightly alarmed. From reports  in  of  persons
who were at the coast, the tremor here was very slight in corvarison and
no damage has been recorded.  While there it appears to have been a
distinct swaying, here it was rather a shaking motion, rattling  dooro
and windows.

     "The quake occurred at 11:10 Friday evening and lasted for five
seconds. At first many persons thought that the tremor was  caused  by
the high wind then prevailing and some in the city put it down to a
motor truck passing nearby. On the coast, rumbling sounds  are  said  to
have been heard."

     "QUAKE IN SUMAS

     "Residents of Huntingdon, Sumas and the district for some  6  miles
around were awakened at about 3 o'clock Thursday morning by an  earth-
quake tremor which knocked small articles from mantelpieces and  other
high places in their homes.  No damage was done."

Penticton Herald, The, Penticton, B.C., June 30, 1925

     "Tables moved, chair rocked here Saturday when slight tremors.

     "Penticton visited by slight tremors of earthquake which devastated
Santa Barbara, California.  Chandelier in store sways violently, and
pedestrians feel dizzy sensations.  Lasted only a few seconds.

     "Slight earthquake tremors were felt in Penticton at about 5:20 on
Saturday afternoon, which are believed to have been in connection  with
the great earthquake in Santa Barbara, Califor-nia on Sunday which  laid
waste to the city. The movement of the earth here is  reported  to  have
been quite pronounced, lasting however only for a few seconds. Upon the
occasion of the great quake in San Francisco about 20 years ago, tremors
were felt quite perceptibly in Penticton district and particularly  at
Peachland.

     "No word has come from Victoria reporting detection  of  earthquake
tremors in British Columbia on Saturday, but many Penticton citizens are
confident that a slight earthquake was experienced here.  Pedestrians on
Main Street at the time mentioned have reported a dizzy, whirling sensation
lasting for a brief period, and in one of the stores on the west side of
the street, the chandelier commenced to sway violently and even the
heavy counters moved slightly.

     "At one residence on Winnipeg  Street,  the  occupants  were  astounded
to see the chairs suddenly start to rock back and forth.

     "Penticton has been visited by slight earthquake tremors at least
4 times in the last 20 years."

EARTHQUAKE QUIVER  FELT AT SARDIS AND SUMAS

     "Many  residents  in the Sardis and Sumas areas report having felt the earth  tremors  which
occurred Friday night  shortly  before  8  o'clock.  The shocks were  felt  at Seattle, Bellingham,
Vancouver and Victoria, but were not noticed  in  the city so far as learned."

     "EARTHQUAKE DAMAGES ABBOTSFORD RESERVOIR

     "Abbotsford is probably the first town  in  British  Columbia  able  to
claim to have suffered damage to civic  property  by  an  earthquake.  As  a
privilege available to the town commissionairs, it is not likely to be
voiced above a whisper. But the proof is to  be  seen  at  the  new  town
water reservoir, where a large crack appeared immediately after Friday
evening's seismic shiver. Also more  than  one  basement  has  shown  new
cracks, some doors in local homes don't swing like  they  used  to,  and  as
we scribble this, we notice a nervous neighbour carefully inspecting
the mortar between the bricks of his chimey.

     "But then--earthquakes are a novelty here--yet.

     "(Watch for the daily scream head,  'Town  of  Abbotsford  Razed  by
Earthquake)--Abbotsford News"

     "TREMBLOR FELT IN CHILLIWACK RESIDENTS SAY

     "An earth shock, believed to have been the same as was felt in
Seattle at 1O p.m. last Sunday was felt to a lesser degree in Chilliwack,
according to John L. Sheldon, Sr., who  writes  The  Progress  about  his
sensations.
