Truck Injuries Fatal
 To John ChOquette

John Choquette passed away at 1 o'clock Saturday afternoon at Bishop Rowe General Hospital from the effect of injuries received in a truck accident on January 2S in which two other EZRA workers were injured, but neither so badly as MT. ChoQuette. The certificate of death made out by Dr. J. M. Clements. gave the primary cause Of death as influenza, with pulmon- ary tuberculosis and broken ribs as contributing factors.
 MT Choquette, who was usually called by his early day nickname. Johnny Buck" was born 64 years ago His father came from east ern Canada in the early sos as Hudson's Bay factor.

His SOL operated a Yukon river ferry boat at Dawson, but later returned to Wrangell which has been his home the greater part of his life He took part in all the frontier il lus- tries of this country. He pros pected the .Stikine and Iskut river areas and the placer fields of the Cassiar. To the exposure of a re- cent winter at Dease lake, was due the chtst ailment he developed. He trapped, fished and hunted in the Wrangell or adjacent districts, and made light of all attendant discom- forts and hardships
 Mr. Choquette was a typical French Canadian in his personal ity and characteristics. He was q kindly, generous man, unselfish to a fault, lightheartedly meeting each day and it's problems. He was ney- CT known to become involved in any trouble or disagreements with his fellow men and he went to his grave at peace with everyone who knew him. His death is grieved Ey a host of friends
 He is survived by his wife, his son Fred of Seattle, a daughter, Mrs. Fred Porter. of Petersburg her son, Harold Wheaton. and two little daughters; two sisters, Mrs little daughters, two sisters, Mrs Marcus Wigg of Wrangell, Mrs Georgia Clark, now of Seattle, and brother Darby in California.

KEY
BELIEVED IN
ARCTIC
BY WILLIAM S. NEAL
international News Service

The key that will unlock the
mysterious secret of devastating
droughtS may be found through
the establishment of weather sta
tons in the Arctic regions.
In this vast, icy region is one
starting point Of the great masses
of air that flow down upon the
United States which, in conflict
with other masses from the Torrid
Zone, produce the rainfall that
means the abundant life for the
farmer.
Government scientists, dismayed
by the lack of information from
these vital regions of the North,
already are discussing the FEAST
bility Of establishing weather sta
tionS there.
Station in Alaska
While the weather Bureau has
a station at Point Barrow, Alaska,
in the land of icebergS and polar
bears, little information can be OBJ
tanned from the Arctic regions in
Northwestern Canada and Siberia.
DR.. j. B. Kincer, chief of the di-
vision of climate and crop weather,
says:
I'VE don't know just what is
happening up there"
The latest phenomena Of the
present drought has aroused deep
curiosity among all Government
scientists.
In the last few days a high
pressure area moving down from
the Hudson Bay region produced
relatively cool temperatures from
the Central Ohio Valley Eastward.
But a low-pressure area from
western Canada let loose record
breaking blanket of heat in the
great plains areas in the United
States.
Might Give Answer
A continuous recording Of at
mospheric conditions in the Arctic
regions, the scientists say, might
unfold the answer to the drought
cycles.
In spite of feverish activity in
many quarters to evacuate the
dust bowl" and change its char
acter, Weather Bureau scientists
have reached two very definite
conclusions.
These are that man is not re-
sponSible for the drought and
there is no certainty that it will
end with the present year.
While dust storms and suffer
ing from drought have been &C
centuated by cultivation OF por-
tons of the western Plains area
which may have been designed
for grazing only by nature, break
ing Of the soil alone didn't cause
drought, Kincer said. He added:
eff every ounce of water
that was evapOrated from lakes
and ponds formerly existing in
the Great Plains area should be
returned as rain during the
year, it would provide less than
one heavy shower of One-inch
rainfall"
Another answer OF scientists to
those who say the drought is
man-made is that rainfall in
creased in the Great Plains area
in Kansas and other States for
many years after the soil was
first broken.
While weather scientists hope
that the drought phase" Of the
present cycle will end soon, they
offer no assurance to residents
of the parched regions.
The last prolonged drought in
the Great Plains lasted 10 years
from 1886 to 1895. The present
phase has lasted but six years.
Another drought cycle, beginning
about 1880, also lasted for sew
eral years.
