He believes he would not have lived to tell what happened had his cries not attracted the attention of some men who stopped the initiation. Frank Barthol of Fairbanks, Alaska, writes of the unusual state of the weather there on June 13th as follows: “While it was raining here, and in all the lower valleys of the Tanana, snow was falling in the mountains which will be melted to help the streams flow after the first of the rain water has run off. Should the weather turn suddenly warm an even higher stage of water than any so far recorded this year may be expected as the snow will be melted in a hurry and come down in torrents to the already flooded streams. Arrivals from the Welta country say that some of the. trails were impassable. The snow has drifted waist deep around the head of Dry creek so that those who were intending to visit the Bonnifield country had to postpone their trip for the time being. Heavy snows are also reported on the Delta summit by the mail carrier, who arrived Saturday.”
