Wait Co South
(By The Associated Press)
FAIRBANKS, Jan. 20, — Snow
swirled over this city, adding
rapidly to the record fall of 15
and a half inches in twelve hours
which ended last midnight. Unoffi
cial reports said the previous re
cord snow fall was thirteen in
ches.
Reports from interior towns
and settlements in the Tanana,
Yukon, Kuskokwim and Koyukuk
valleys showed a heavy snow
there.
Along the Kuskokwim river
the snow for the winter nas
amounted to 92 inches. Miners
said the snow promised sufficient
moisture for spring aperations,
while others saw a danger of de
vastating floods if warm weather
suddenly comes.
Airplanes got away with 32
passengers for Juneau who have
been held here since the early
part of the month by bad weath
er. Another plane slipped thru
Whitehorse yesterday morning
with ten passengers.
All legislators from the Second
and Fourth Divisions are now in
Juneau with the exception of
Senator John B. Powers of Eagle
who arrived here Sunday and
stayed over on account of his
wife’s illness. Powers expects to
leave on the next plane.
About thirty-five passengers
are ready to leave on the next
southbound planes, as soon as
weather permits.
