WEATHER OBSERVERS ON
LINE ARE DESIGNATED
Weather observers at two points
where weather instruments have been
installed recently, have just been ap
pointed. At Chickaloon, C. J. Lowry,
timekeeper at camp 36, will report the
official figures, while F. B. Giddings
will act in a similar capacity at Wil
low creek. Mr. Giddings is timekeep
er at camp 187 .
The instruments for Talkeetna and
Indian river have been on the ground
for some time, but the observers, so
far as known here, have not been
named. There is some indecision as to
locating one station at Indian river
and the instruments may be placed at
Dead Horse Hill instead.
