CHIEF WEATHER
FORECASTER IS
HERE ON VISIT
Dr. E. B. Calvert Making In-1
spection Trip to Alaska
for Specific Purpose.
As beneficial to the people of Al-1
Ask a us la t'he forecasting and other
services rendered by the Weather
Bureuu in the North, it is insignific
ant in comparison with the benefit of
the Alaska service to the country at
large, declared Ur. E. B. Calvert.
Chielf Forecaster of the United States
■Weather Bureau at Washington, I).
C., who arrived in Juneau ou the
Admiral Rogers and is a guest of
XL B. Summers, in charge of the
Weather Bureau service in Alaska.
Dr. Calvert is here to study con
ditions and determine in what man
ner the Weather Bureau service in
Alaska may be made more useful to
the people ol the North and the
country. He will /be here probably,
for a week. He has just completed!
a visit to the district headquarters
■stations at Chicago, Denver and San
Francisco, and the separate station." (
throughout tiho Pacific Coast country, i
There are six ceutral stations ot.
the Weather Bureau of the country
at which the data is concentrated and
from which forecasts are made. They !
are located at Washington, Chicago,!
New Orleans, Denver, San Francisco j
and Juneau.
Storms and Cold Waves Bred in •
Alaska
“The great importance of the Al !
aska service to the country," said j
Dr Calvert, “Is due fo the fact tin ,
Aleutian Islands and the waters in
their vicinity and the Alaskan and i
Canadian Northwest are the storm |
centers of tho continent. Practically !
every cold wave that sweeps over ;
the country in /the winter and most)
olf the storms are generated in this,
country, and the Alaskan /reports
make it possible to foretell the com
lag of these storms anti cold waves ,
before they reach the States. I.t was
estimated in Chicago that $10,000,000 j
■worth of porishable freight was saved)
last winter because the Weather Bu
reau was able to forecast the coming
of cold weather and storms.”
Point Barrow Station Needed
In addition to the 13 stations in I
Alaska from which weather condi
lions are telegraphed daily. Dr. Cal
vert says, thoce should be a station
at Point Barrow, .and whenever a
radio station is established at that
place a Weather Bureau station will]
follow.
The Canadian government will this
year establish two weather stations
in tho Maekonrio River country.
These will help the service Immense
ly, according to Dr. Calvert, for the
American and Canadian weather ser
vice organizations work in perfect
harmony. "In fact," said Dr. Cal
vert, “we do not know of the exist
ence ctf boundary lines in the weather
service.”
There are now 204 weather sta j
tians in the Unitod Statt’3, including j
the Junea-u station, from wlik-h re ■
/ports are telegraphed. Including alii
the Alaska, stations and those located 1
outside of tho United States there j
are about 250.
Charmed With Trip
*1 have enjoyed every hour of the)
time since 1 left Seattle for the
North," .said Dr. Calvert. "The
weather has been beautiful and per
mitted the scenery all to bo visible
•all the time and under the most fa
Vorable circumstances. I_ had read a
good deal about the Alaska trip and
A/.milllnf ii’lt.h tViix nmne Knt h:lVC
■discovered that I had absolutely no
conception of iho grandeur of your
scenery and the beauty of your mag
nificent waters along the inside pass
age.”
This is Dr. Calvert’s l'rst trip to
the North, and the first visit to the
Juneau station of any general official
of the service from Washington

at the last preceding gerferal elec

qualified under the law to act as

the last preceding general election.
Lists for both the district courts
and commissioners' courts are re

Over General Deficiencies
With $25 for men and $45 tor
women, as maximum allowances for
aged residents of the Territory, thei
Shapard Pension Bill passed its sec
ond reading in the House this mofn-1
ins. It is expected to pass the|
House tomorrow without apposition.;
The hill is virtually a re-enact-1
ment of the present old age al-|
low a nee law except for the increased
amounts as noted. A further change
from the existing system is ap
parently made under Section 2,
which providse: If any person "hav
ing been granted an allowance, de-|
si res to take up his residence tem-!
porarily or permanently elsewhere
than in the Territory, such allow
ance shall not cease, but the Board
of Trustees shall prepure such ad
ditional regulations as may be nce
jo3sary to carry out this provision so
j :.s to properly safeguard the In
Iterests of the Territory.”
When the original Shepard bill
was reported back to the House sev
eral days ago, a very similar pro
vision was offered in an amend
ment by Mr. Daly, of Nome, and
was defeated. When the original
measure was recommitted, Mr. Daly
succeeded in having it incorporated i
in the latest bill and efforts to
strike it were defeated in Commit
tee of the Whole.

eluding therein $6,000 for the Al

of Mines, $2,4 18.64 for the Alaska
Fish (tonnnlf ion and other smaller
amounts led to so much opposition
in the House tUis morning that
Chairman Koss, of the Ways and
Means Committee, who introduced
the amendment, withdrew it. House
Hill No. 26, fwhich carries various
small items for current deficiencies,
was the measure under discussion.
It carries $2,000 for wolf bounties,
$2,150 for the Board of Children's
(Juurdians and $6,290.17 for schools
in incorporated towns for the period
cndiing June 30, 1921.
There was u general objection by |
several members who said they had
no knowledge of the reasons for
itch deficiencies and wc-re opposed
0 appropriating money without
inch knowledge.

Center on College.
Most of the criticism centered |
iliout the College deficiency item.
Phut institution, contended Mr.
Jaly, is different from other Terri
torial departments in that it is aj
tonporation which has control solley
if its own funds, outlines its work
md allots funds for its activities
after money becomes available. Ho
aid lie would not offer any objec
ion at (he present time to the de
ic.iency appropriation hut that when
lie general college appropriation
■cities up would go into the matter
borough ly.
In previous years, he added, it
las been the practice for members
if the Fourth Division to bring in
i bill providing support for the col
tge and he had been expecting
uch a measure lor some time. "I
five warning right now that un
ess such a bill is forthcoming in
he near future, I shall bring in one
nyself.”
Mr. Faster, while not opposing
he College item directly, said it
vas the right of the Legislature
o know the wherofor of deflelen-!
lies. In view of the general under-!
.landing that a large sum will be!
uked for the college for the next I

Legislature Should know what !s be

why Pi eel dent Bunnell has not 'been
asked to appear and explain some
of the undertakings of the Institu
tion. He said he was In favor of
supporting the college but did not
believe tis importance warranted
the expenditure of from 16 to 20
per cent of the Territory’s income.
Says Some Log-rolling.
Mr. Murray, chairman of the
Canundbtee on Education, said his
committee was totally in the daik
about educational deficiencies. He
was not opposed to them if they are
justified, he added, but would op
pose them unless they were satis
factorily explained. He intimated
that the ‘-attempt to rush the gen
eral deficiency 'measure” through
the FftWe savored of ‘-logrolling.’"
Mr. Keyes disclaimed any desire
to be a party to such alleged tac
tics and said he had inspected the
college and examined its accounts,
lie said he believod that the mem
bers who had not been able to
visit the college personally -were en
titled to any information. It is a
Territorial Institution and not one
for Fairbanks or tell Fourth Di
vision, lie added.
The House resumed its discussions
of the measure when it reconvened
at 2 p. m.

the West Coast Grocery Company,
