SECOND COLD SNAP
OVER IRE ROCKIES
CLIMAXED TUESDAY
DENVER, Jan., 8, (A5)—The sec
ond major cold spell to sweep the
Rocky Mountains regions was cli
maxed by an announcement from
Glasgow, Mont., that the mercury
dropped to 40 below zero and then
broke the official tnermometer.
Weather officials in Montana
towns were not certain just how
cold it got after the official ther
mometer broke.
Less severe temperatures were re
ported in other sections of the
Rocky Mountain regions following
a snow storm which swept in from
the east.

OUT OVER SEA AS WAS
CAUTIONED
FAIRBANKS, Jan., 7, (JP)—
The damp and smudgy weather
is growing wors and since New
Year’s visibility has been totally
lacking. The temperature is near
to thawing.
The belief here is that Pilot
Reid came doyn along Norton
Sound coastline rather than at
tempting to return to Nulato in
the fog and snow, or that he
cracked his landing gear which
is holding him back.
It is hardly possible that he
went out to sea as the dangers
of the tricky snow covered slush
on Norton Sound, and along the
seacoast of Seward ePninsula,
was stressed upon him before
leaving.

MONTHS AGO FROM SEAT
TLE BANK
JUNEAU, Jan., 8, (/P)—A three
story wooden frame messhouse
and store building at the John
Carlson cannery at Auk Bay,
was destroyed by a mysterious
fire at 1 o'clock this ‘ morning.
The buildings and contents
were a total loss; they were
valued at $12,000. No insurance
was carried.
The fire originated on the
first floor and spread rapidly.
William Lee, watchman, was
sleeping on the second floor. He
lost his all in the fire. He said
there had been no fire on the
first floor for weeks and that
the pipes were frozen prevent
ing the use of fire hose.
Tracks were seen in the snow
near the water-cleared pips at
th start of the recent cold spell
and someone must have turned
water into them again as they
were discovered to be frozen.
J. B. Caro purchased the can
nery buildings several months
ago from a Seattle bank and had
planned to work the plant next
season.
