MORE WEATHER OUTSIDE OF ALASKA
It is not generous or chivalric, we know, to comment
on the misfortunes of other people or other sections of
our country. But there are times when necessity compels
generosity and chivalry to stand aside in the interest of
truth and fair play.
Since the attack on Alaska and the Alaska Railroad
last winter by Senator Howell of Nebraska, based on his
conceptions of climatic conditions in Alaska, the Gateway
has had occasion at different times to publish accounts i
of great havoc and damage and suffering caused by rag-j
mg blizzards in Senator Howell’s own State of Nebraskaj
and in other States of the Mississippi valley, as late as the I
middle of April, and to compare those outbursts of climat-;
ic fury with weather conditions in the railroad belt of!
Alaska at the corresponding periods, to the credit of Alas- i
ka by long odds.
But here comes another spell of weather during the!
last week in April, extending all the way from the Rocky 1
Mountains across the Mississippi valley to the Atlantic!
coast, which for severity and hardship surpasses all |
others of the winter.
Snow fell five feet deep in three days in some parts!
or Pennsylvania during that blizzard, it covered the Shen-;
andoa valley of \ irginia a foot deep, it piled drifts in the
streets of New York in places to a depth of 10 feet, it
drove transatlantic liners scurring into harbors for safe
ty, it prostrated hundred of miles of telephone and tel
egraph wires in New England- and played smash in gen-j
eral for three days without let cr hindrance. Buds on
truit trees as far South as Georgia were frozen and killed.
Bear in mind, if you please, that this destructive out
wirst occurred the last of April, 1928, only a few days be- j
fore the first of this month.
It Senator Howell and others of those storm stricken
States had consulted the weather records of Alaska at
cnat tempestuous time they would have discovered some
i acts very far from their prejudiced and grotesque mis
conceptions,
They would have found in the midst of the blizzard’s j
fury over their own domains that the Yukon and the Ta
nana valleys of Interior Alaska, 400 miles north of Sew
ard. were smiling under the warming temperature of 501
degrees above zero, in cloudless skies, and that summer j
was spreading its first benign glow over all the vast re- i
gion in the valleys traversed by the Alaska Railroad.
At the very time of the blizzard’s lashing fury over j
all the eastern half of the United States, we in Seward, j
and in Anchorage and Matanuska and Wasilla, on the
Alaska Railroad, were spading our gardens and plowing
our fields for spring planting and sowing.
The warming influence of the Japan current is our
friend and our ever present companion which the den
izens of the blizzard States invariably fail to take into
account.
We sympathize with our eastern friends and country
men— and we would help them to our last dollar—in the
distress of their storm tossed afflictions, but we ask
them in all fairness not to waste an ounce of sympathy
on any of us in Alaska or in any part of Alaska because
of climatic conditions under these ocean tempered skies,
where men are men of robust health, and where vegeta
tion thrives under the friendly influence of long summer
days combined with the tropical warmth of the Japan
ese current.
