Big quake takes hd lives and deep sea fishes
A severe Alaska earthquake disrupted cable service and frightened residents from Juneau to Sitka. Seismologists say it could have caused heavy loss of life if in a more populated area. Japanese fishermen near Hilo reported nets filled with strange deep sea fish, possibly driven to cooler waters by underwater heat. Officials in Washington awaited confirmation as seismographs located the quake in central eastern Alaska near the fair weather mountains, lasting over two hours with aftershocks across the region.

Higher levees to curb Mississippi flood section
Optimism spread in Memphis as the war department weighs a Mississippi flood control plan featuring levees twice as high as before, three spillways, and two safety outlets in Louisiana. The Atchafalaya basin near the Red River mouth would host the largest spillway to divert up to 1,000,000 cubic feet per second toward the Gulf. The plan also envisions artificial crevasses near Caernarvon gap and a rebuilt Bonnet Carre, with levee bases widening to 230 feet and heights of 30 to 35 feet, though full public release is pending.
