Transcription: 1923 January 10. 8:29 p.m. VI+? Lake Co. This shock recorded at a number of seismographic stations; Turner at Oxford placed the origin in northern California, but the reports of perception point clearly to a source near or north of Goose Lake, in Oregon. The shock was strongest in the Lakeview district; at Lakeview the main shock was of about intensity VI, and aftershocks were felt at 10:15 p.m. and 11:45 p.m. The shock was felt west as far as Klamath Falls. At Valley Falls the intensity was V, duration sixty seconds; in California the duration was thirty seconds at Cedarville, Modoc Co., at Alturas plaster fell, and a report at Susanville, made from memory some time after the occurrence of a shock at this hour on January 17, probably refers to this shock, recalled by the day of the week, rather than of the month. At Susanville, about 110 miles from the Lakeview region, an intensity of III was reported.- CE 1918-1924, BAAS; BSSA, 13,76; MWR, 51; 52.
