Temperature Reach Lowest Point Since Ad
vent of White Man? 21 Below at Skag
way and Down to 78 on Yukon
The great north country along the
coast of Soetheastern Alaska and the
Upper Yukon valley, between the
lakes a d the American boundary, \b
in the throes of the coldest weather it
has experienced since the advent of
the white man with his instruments
wiih which to take the temperature,
At Skagway it was 21 decrees below
zero this morning according to the rec
ord of H. D. Clark, United States vol
unteer weather observer. That is
three degrees colder than any previous
record at this city. A severe north
wind aggravates the situation.
The story that comes from the inter- ;
from the interior by this morning's
telegraphic reports is even worse.
At Dawson it is 72 decrees below zero.
The coldest former record was 68. At
Stewart it is 78 below and at White
horse, 64. The thermometers at Ogil
vie and Selkirk are out of comm'ssion.
The coldest weather ever reported be
fore from the Upper Yukon was at Sel
kirk, where it was 71belo* three years
ago.
The temperatuie at Haines was 15
below zero this morning and that at
Juneau 10 below.
It is feared it will get colder before
it modifies.
