FLOOD WATER
ON SUSITNA IS
AT HIGH MARK
Advices received this morning from
Talkeetna on the Susitna river state
the river is now higher than the high-j
est water recorded last year and is
still rising. Last year’s record was
the first taken on the Talkeetna.
No damage has been reported, but
camps located near the stream have
been moved back to avoid inundation, j
Rain is reported at Deadhorse, but
the unusual flow is due to the effect
of the warm weather on the snow,
the fall of the past winter being
unusually heavy.
