EDITORIAL PAGE
For the past few years there has|
been a persistent rumor that the
Japanese current had been diverted
by some subterranean or submarine
kink which had caused It to flow
nearer the north Pacific coast, thus
mellowing the Alaska climate When
the geodetic ships came north from
the sound this spring, they were
given orders to ascertain If there
had been <uiy change in the ocean
lurrents, but they have made no re
port which has yet been given to
the public The rumor, however,
has been passed along until now
it has assumed the importance of
truth, and there are plenty of peo
ple mho are willing to swear to its
authenticity.
The fact that our glaciers are
receding, indicates that the climate |
is gradually crowing milder. but
that has been going on for year*,
perhaps centuries*, so there has
probably been no noticeable change
within the memory of anyone living!
in Alaska
That change which most of us
hare noticed, come* not so much j
from the weather, as from the eon
venlerees of travel and the better;
houses and modern appliance* for1
comfort In the early days, when ,
one had to mush OTer the trails j
from the coast to the Interior and
carry all his provisions on his back
and sleep in the snow banks, it was
??asily beliexed that Alaska was the
coldest country under the heavens
In fact, should an easterner start!
from Boston to mush to Bangor,
this winter, carrying his beans and
bacon on his back and sleep out in
the sm>? for a month, he would 1
have identically the same stories to!
tell of the frightful hardships and '
cold of the Atlantic coast country ^
We all remember, that is, those
of us who are approaching or hare
passed life's meridian. the days I
when it was so cold in Iowa and
Minnesota, that half the people of'
the Kast said it would never amount
to anything as an agricultural eoun- 1
try Thirty years ago they could
not raise com in Minnesota and j
South l>ak->U Today they are the I
big corn raising State* of the t'nion,
and the weather has not changed to
any considerable extent
It is not that Alaska is actually
any warmer today than twenty
years ago. it is simply that Alaska
never was a cold country.
