Joe Mcclellan and George Walker, the census enumeratOr, returned from Chisana on Thursday morning Though MT. Walker is an old-timer in the coun- try, he says that he has never expert enced such storms before in Alaska as he and Mr. Mcclellan encountered on the Rohen glacier on their way in to Chisana. Not only did they have to contend with a raging blizzard, but heavy fog besides, which made trav- cling impossible and dangerous, so digging a hole in the snow, they lay down in it for forty hours, when the storm cleared and they were able to continue on. If only a few more gov ernment officials would travel these glacier trails, and under the same con- ditions as MT. Walker did, an appro- priatiOn would soon be authorized, even if it was only for stalking the trails out over the crevices on these glaciers for winter travel
