WASHINGTON. D. C A new Russian Rus-sian "Arctic station" is being established es-tablished on Big Diomede island, in Bering strait between the mainland of Alaska and the mainland of Siberia, Si-beria, according to news reports from Moscow. "Arctic stations" have been set up at various points in the Soviet Union's far-flung icy domain in recent years. In May, 1937, such a station was established on the ice within 10 or 12 miles of the North pole, and later drifted southward. south-ward. The various stations are announced an-nounced to be set up primarily to facilitate scientific research Including Includ-ing studies of weather. "The new Russian station on Big Diomede island is within sight ol U. S. territory," says the National Geographic society. "Big Diomede's companion island, Little Diomede, on the U. S. side of the Siberian-Alaskan Siberian-Alaskan boundary line through Bering Ber-ing strait, is only two miles southeast. south-east. But despite this short dis tance, it is noon Tuesday on Big Diomede when it is noon Monday on Little Diomede. This is because of a man-made 'time fence,' the International Inter-national Date Line, which has been traced between the islands and on southward, dividing the Western and Eastern hemispheres. Islands Sparsely Settled. "The two rocky islands rise almost al-most exactly in the middle of Bering strait, where the easternmost mainland main-land tip of Asia is 55 miles from the westernmost tip of Alaska. In clear weather one mainland headland head-land is visible from the other. The weather is usually misty, however, in this region just south of the Art-tic Art-tic circle. Heavy fogs hid the island is-land from their Russian discoverer, Vitus Bering, when he first passed them on his way through the strait which bears his name. When he later lat-er sighted one of the islands, he gave it the name Diomede because the date, August 16 (1728) was St. Diomede's day in the church calendar. cal-endar. "Little Diomede is a two-mile-long oval rock rising steeply 1,000 feet from the waters of Bering strait. Big Diomede, to the northwest across the U. S.-U. S. S. R. frontier, is larger higher, and steeper. Few- eriM- s'n Big Di ng the ioul- togs 'nd the The only aninwTKis the host of auk- lets, puffins, klttiwakes, and other Arctic birds that breed on the steep slopes. Occasionally a fox or white bear roams out over the ice from the mainland. The Eskimos on both islands live frugally on fish, sea mammals, and birds, the latter caught in long-handled nets from rock blinds. "On the trail of prehistoric Eskimo Eski-mo migrations, the National Geographic Geo-graphic society and the Smithsonian institution jointly sponsored an expedition ex-pedition in 1936 which visited both Little and Big Diomede islands. Evidence Ev-idence from kitchen middens on both islands showed that this was the route by which Eskimos entered America from Asia, presumably some 2,000 years ago, bringing with them the 'Golden age' culture of what is known as the 'Old Bering sea period of Eskimo history. It is highly probable, although not yet proved, that by this same route man first entered the American continent, conti-nent, by some pre-Eskimo migrations migra-tions of the ancestors of the American Amer-ican Indians." Racing Pigeons Serve Valiantly for R. A. F. LONDON. - Nearly 4,000 racing pigeons were supplied during one month to operational aircraft of the royal air force coastal command through the agency of the National Pigeon service. The pigeons are carried on coastal coast-al reconnaissance aircraft as an additional ad-ditional means of communication in an emergency. Of 14 messages recently re-cently sent every one reached its destination safely. One of the most gruelling flights by these "feathered airmen" was made by a bird which was released from the neighborhood of Stavan-ger, Stavan-ger, Norway. Despite unusually unfavorable weather conditions, it reached home safely, having flown nearly 250 miles across the North sea. Woodpecker Drillings Backed Up by Bees KINGSTON, N.

She ctrrles 1202 new Well Repair Help May Be Possible Assistance to well owners throughout through-out the state in making repairs to wasting wells may become possible through a W P A project now approved, ap-proved, should a condition be removed re-moved from the original conuact restricting repaiifs to privately owned wells, State Engineer T. H. Humpherys said Wednesday. The announcement followed word from W P A officials that a modified modi-fied withdrawal of "condition No. 2" of the project contract may be given, based on submission of a plan for operation of the repairs. Condition No. 2 specifies that "no portion of federal funds allocated under the application shall be released re-leased for operation to make repairs re-pairs on privately owned wells." A plan for carrying out the repairs, re-pairs, should the restriction be lifted, was mailed Wednesday tq Darrell J. GreenwelL state W P A administrator, by the state engineer. "We are extremely happy about the possibility of broadening the scope of the project to carry out its original intent," Mr. Humpherys said, "since if such is accomplished, a great saving of water will be realized in Utah." The state engineer has been in constant contact with W P A officials offi-cials the past weeks in an effort to have the "condition" stricken. The project was set up to provide for gathering of data to be used as a basis for stopping waste of the underground resource, and in addition, addi-tion, provide a repair program to check the waste from wells. Even though a rigid well control program has been under way the past three years through coopera tion of W P A, there are still many wells which cannot be controlled without major repairs, Mr. Humpherys Humph-erys said. Waste in the state from underground sources has been reduced re-duced from 100,000 acre feet annually an-nually to less than 35,000 annually in the three years, but even now the loss, figured on a basis of. reservoir storage costs, amounts to ' three-quarters three-quarters of a million dollars annually, annu-ally, he said. The state engineer pointed out that control of any well would benefit ben-efit all diverting from the same supply, since additional water would be made available at the source. A specific example of benefits resulting result-ing from well repair was sighted in a case at Richmond, Cache county. In this case the partial repair of a single large well caused an increase in-crease in pressure to adjacent wells of 70 percent, he stated, while during dur-ing the same period the average pressure of all other wells in Cache county dropped by three f eet. It is estimated that repairs to 10 percent of the wasting wells in the state would save approximaely 60 percent of the wasting water. Those to be repaired under the project would be selected on the following basis: (1) The amount of water to be saved, (2) the number of water users who would benefit through the repair by saving the underground supply, and (3) cooperation coop-eration of the well owners involved. Areas in the state which would be affected by the program would include: Cache county, Logan and Richmond underground basins; Boxelder county, Brigham basin; Davis county, North and South basins; Tooele county, Erda basin; Salt Lake county, Salt Lake and Murray basins; Utah county, North and South basins; Millard county, Pahvant basin; Iron county, Paro-wan Paro-wan basin, and Sevier county, Richfield Rich-field and Koosharem basins. According to the plan the repairs would include pressure mud pumping pump-ing for filling of openings washed around casings of wells, the same to be sealed with heavy mud or cement; driving of oversized casings cas-ings where necessary, and o ther technical methods adopted to various var-ious needs. The newly approved project is a continuation of W p a work sponsored spon-sored by the state engineer for a comprehensive survey of the underground un-derground waters of the state, and wiiwwm- 2 .-V i " j l ' -V:i ': ?
