VIOLENT STORM VISITS JUNEAU
 AND VICINITY '
Thunderstorm of Unusual Intensity Breaks Over
 Gastineau Channel

A spectacular Ii g h thing and thunder storm, one of the rareSt of natural phenomena to occur in the north, swept Gastineau Chan nel last night and for more than an hour its brilliant pyrotechnics spread across the heavans and low over the water.
 It was said to be the most violent storm of it's kind on record here, and one of two typical thunder storms ever noted here in the official records of the United States Weather Bureau. Just two days more than five years ago to the hour and almost to the minute, the first was recorded and lasted about an hour.
 Visible Long Distance
 Last nights storm approached from the south. About 10 pm, the first sheet lightning flashes were faintly visible far to the south across TaEu Inlet. At first they were hardly noticeable and infre- quent.
 AS the storm moved northward, the flashes grew in brightness and frequency. Steamers coming into port, including the Aleutian, Ad- miral Rogers and Prince Henry were clearly discernible as the flashes became more brilliant and oftener. The thunder did not start for almost two and one-half hours after the lightning was first ob- served.
 At 12:30 am. the first peal cracked sharply and for an hour the reports grew in volume. The final peal followed particularly vivid flash of lightning that seem ed to set on fire the whole town from the Alaska Juneau rock dump to Gold Creek Canyon and the rocky cliffs of Mt. Juneau.
 Rainfall started a few minutes after the first clap of thunder between 12:30 and 12:40 am. anc in five minutes seven-hundredths of an inch fell and the total uI to am was about one-quartel of an inch. No damage was re- ported from wind, rain or lightning
 Is Rare Phenomenon
 The rarity of storms like las' nights is indicated by the Weather Bureaus records maintained hert since 1917. The one occurring or the night of July 1919, 1926 wa. the first ever recorded. Prior tt that single lightning sheets ane lone thunderclaps occurred on thre' occasions. On July 10, 1926, single flash and peal were noted Similar occurrences were recorded on April 1, and September IT ant IS, 1929.
 These are the only times, so ia as official records go that Juneal and Gastineau Channel have seei lightning flash and heard thunder
 The storm in 1926 was abou equal in violence to last nights The former extended into Eagl River Valley and there and a other points on Glacier Highwa, a heavy fall of hail was reported

NEW HIGH NET
 INDICATED FOR
 ALASKA JUNEAU
Financial Paper Says Earn ings of Al for l93l
 About $l Per Share

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, July 2l. A new high record for net earn hlgs this year is indicated for the Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Com pany, said an article appearing here in the Coast edition of the Wall Street Journal.
 The net profit, after all charges except depletion have been deduct ed, will be about $1 ,5o0.oO0 or about $1 per share, that paper said.
 In an interview given The Elm pire recently, P. R.. Bradley, con- sulting engineer for the company. said net profits, without deducting for depletion and depreciation, for the first six months were about S850 ,O00. If this rate of earnings is maintained for the remainder of the year, the total would reach $1, 700, ,000.
 The company's dividend require ment is 40 cents per share. Thus the $1 per share indicated by the Wall Street Journal article is 60 cents per share in excess of the earnings necessary to- meet the dividend for the current year.

Capper- Dickinson proposal
 Chester H. Gray, Washington representative of the bureau, in outlining important legislation in which it is interested and which probably will come before the next Congress, said amendment or re- peal of the Agricultural Marketing Act, creating the Farm Board, un- doubtedly will be actively consid- cred.
 He added, however, that it seems unlikely the entire act will be re- pealed because of the nearness of the presidential election campaign. The bureau, he said, will devote it's energies toward making the act stronger when amendments are of fered.
