March was more cloudy than
normal with an excess of more
than inch of precipitation over
the normal. Mean temperatures
were warmer than can usually be
expected, and most of the cold
temperatures occurring during
the last week of the month. The
greatest accumulation of snow
ever to be reached in the history
of the station occurred during the
month with 74 inches ' on the
ground. The extreme accumulation
was due primarily to long periods
of below freezing temperatures
without the usually experienced
thaws.

HIGH SCHOOL
On May 21, 1927, Colonel Chas.
A. Lindbergh made his spectacu
lar non-stop flight from New York
to Paris. He encountered heavy
fogs off the coast of Labrador. He
tried to avoid the fog' by flying
above it and below it. Often he
was just above the waves on that
memorable flight. Finally he saw
land which was Ireland and from
there he headed toward Paris. He
was greeted by an enthusiastic
crowd at Paris and became one of
the great heroes of the world.
Soon after his return to the United
States, the airplane industry leap
ed forward. Colonel Lindbergh
made a “good will tour” down to
Mexico during the time that
Dwight W. Morrow was ambassa
dor to our neighbors to the south.
School activities are so numer
ous during the last two weeks that,
it is difficult to get them all in.
The Junior-Senior banquet held
at the Pioneer Hall last Wednes

banquet. Olga Hay, president of
the Junior class, was toast-mis
tress, while Margaret Bjornstad,
president of the Senior class, re

Yukon Rises

j and float planes are unable to put
down on the river because of ice
floes.
There was hope, however, that
blasting the jam might bring im
mediate relief. The village’s radio,
still in operation, reported a drop
of 10 inches soon after last night’s
bombing. When the ice barrier re
locked downriver, however, the
water level climbed back within
seven inches of its previous peak.
The radio reported there were
no known casualties. About half
the population, the message said,
is gathered on the knoll, while
j the others, residing on higher lev
j els of the town, apparently are
safe.
Fort Yukon, the oldest settle
ment on the river, lies exactly on
the Arctic Circle where the Yu
| kon makes a big bend toward the
west. Airmen report a huge lake
has backed up across many miles
of low-lying area, making it diffi
cut to determine the exact location
of the river and the stream-chok
ing ice jam.
The temperature still drops
close to freezing at* night in this
area.
Meanwhile, a second bombing
squadron was to perform a sim
ilar “attack” near the mining
camp of Ophir, which is flooded
by the ice-choked Folger Creek
headwaters. The stream is on off
shoot of the Innoko River, a Yu
kon tributary.
There was no report of the
number of persons marooned at
Ophir, but an air force officer who
flew a bombing mission over the
area last night described the sit
uation as “desperate.” Ophir is
about 200 miles southwest of
Fairbanks.
