SUIT
 AGAINST H0YT
Mrs. Chris Peterson Demands Damaoe age Because of Alleged False Ar
 rest in the Sum of $5,10O.

Mrs. Chris Peterson, who was ar rested upon the complaint of Buck Hoyt, of Gulkana, charged with vio- lating the federal statutes in that she had in her possession jointly with her husband live fox, yester- day commenced a suit against Buck Hoyt for $5,100 damages.
 Mrs Peterson was discharged from custody immediately after Commis- sioner Jones had been notified by the United States district attorney at Valdez that no offense had been com mitted
 The case grew out of the capture of live fox wanted by a number of interior fox raisers, Tom Aiken of fering $1,500 for it, Bert Skinner of fered $1,600, Buck Hoyt rendered $550 for the animal, and Jake Nafsted claiming it because the Petersons were in his employ at the time, in charge of his roadhouse at Upper Tonsina.
 After failing to buy the animal Hoyt swore out a complaint before Com missioner Jones, resulting in the ar rest of MT. and Mrs. Peterson, and for this action he was sued by Chris Peterson and the jury returned a yer dict of $500 for Peterson. Now Mrs. Peterson demands $5,10O because of damage suffered by her when arrest ed.
 The case will come up for trial at the next term of the district court

Natures Processes Too Gigantic to Be

 Warm air is like a sponge. It will suck up lot of moisture and carry it without spilling any. But if warm air. well loaded with moisture. is sud denly cooled the sponge is squeezed and the moisture falls out as rain.
 Many years ago some hopeful gen. tlemen went to one of our arid regions and exploded q lot of dynamite on the theory that the concussion would mix the strata of warm air near the earth with the cooler strata above and so cause the necessary precipitation of moisture There happened to be light showers about the time of the experi- ments. which encouraged the experi- mentors. but didn't convince anybody else
 The fact is that natures rainnaking machine is too gigantic to be affected by the puny efforts of humans-at least by any methods so far discovered.
 Nature pumps the moisture laden air up into the cold regions of the upper atmosphere with wheel thousand miles in diameter. When this tre- mendous wheel of air is revolving nor mally it hoists millions of tons of wa ter vapor to an elevation where it can no longer be carried in solution and so falls in rain.
 When the wheel is off adjustment it is as futile to Lombard the sky with dynamite as it would be to fire popgun corks at the side of the latest Dread nouyht Kansas City Star
