The day started out warm, good

But there were weather conditions
present that day that We're not OBJ
served today. The records at the
weather Office show some very inter-
esting data on November IL. 1911.
The morning temperature started out
high and by one o'clock 70 degrees
was registered by the official Their
mometer. People had been swelter-
ing almost, under the unusual heat,
and many visitors in Keokuk for the
day, came entirely unprepared for
what happened. Shortly after one

commenced. The storm was coming

Four Hours OF Sleet.
At 4.25 o'clock the rain changed TO
sleet and it was not until S:25 o'clock
that the sleet storm ended. One inch

The weather today and last night
was unusually warm for this time OF

blew most of the night never reached
higher than twenty-five miles per hour.
Colder weather may be expected to-

TOWNSHIP IS
LOCATED ON
THE TOLOVANA
cork CITY" is THE NAME
OF THE NEWEST TOWN IN
INTERIOR ALASKA

The newest town in Interior Alas
ka is Fork City according to re-
ports reaching Fairbanks last week
from the Tolovana. the town being
located at the confluence of the
west and north FORKS of. the Tolo-
yana river The townsite is situat-
ed on the right bank of the Tolo-
yana river and is said TO be in an
deal place. as the banks of the river
are very high at that point The
ground then slopes gently back to
tically level spot for a town.
1t is understood that in locating
the townsite there, the locators
considered that they were at the
mead of navigation on the Tolayana.
They, therefore, figured that all
business would be done from there,
no matter where the creek town
was located. 1t is said to be but
eight miles across country from
Fork City 10 Discovery, Liyengood
creek. where it is expected that
the creek town will be located. A
mushers' trail has already been laid
out from Discovery to Fork City,
and it is understood that the 10
Gators of the new townsite hope to
have good substantial trail built
there shortly in order that maehin-
cry and other supplies may be taken
over to Liyengood without unneces-
-afy trouble
According to Al. Paul.. who re
turned last week from the Toloyana,
the tOwnsite has been staked over
several times. Both placer and
quartz locations have been made on
it, while it has been staked also as
townsite and as a timber claim
1t is. therefore, expected that unless
the stakers can come to some agree
ment, considerable litigation will re
suit
The locators OF the townsite. how
ever. are in possession Of the spot
at present. They have laid cut the
town and named the streets. Sey-
eral cabins have already been con
structed there and several more are
n the process of construction. Tents
are numerous, too
1t is understood that the Moody
sawmill will be located there and
that Tom Patterson will establish
his restaurant at that point. AS far
as can be learned no other business
houses have yet been established.
