Northwest Alaska and the lost a motable and very worthy citizen and Alaska lost a painstaking and conscientious jurist when Judge Thomas Mil- burne Reed passed 1y last night at the age of 71 years Judge Reed was a thorough West- erner and sprang from one of the best of the good families that made the backbone of the pioneer people of the Pacific Coast. His father came West from Kentucky in the, early days of | California’s golden career and located . in Placer County, California, where Judge Reed was born| January 1857. The Reeds came north a few years after that to Olympia, then the chief city of Washington Territory. Thomas M. Reed, Sr., became Territorial Auditor and served in that aeity until Statehood, except for the period of Democratic control during the first Cleveland | Administration. He was the last Territoial Audi- tor and became the first State Auditor. For many of the Grand Lodge Territory and Stat followed closely years he of Masons for Thomas M was the Secretary Washington Reed, the second, in his father's footsteps. He was prominent almost from the beginning—partly on account of the prominence of the Reed family but more on account of his own merit and ability. He grad- uated from the public schools at Olympia and went to Princcton where he was given an A. B degree in 1878 after four years attendance. He was admitted to the Washington bar in 1881 at Olympia and practiced there umtil. 1889 when he was appointed Register of the U. S. Land Office at Seattle by President Harrison. In the meantime he served in the last Washington Ter- ritorial Legislature in 1887 and the first State " Legislature in 1889. In 1893 he was appointed to membership on the State Land Commission by Gov. John H. McGraw. 1In 1895 Gov. Me- Graw appointed him Superior Court Judge for Thurston County to fill a vacancy. He was de- feated for re-election two years later by Judge Charles H. Ayer, Democratic-Populist-Free Silver Republican fusion nominee, by ten major in an election in which the fusionists swept the State. Shortly thereafter Judge Reed moved to Nome where he served as United States Com- oner or practiced law until 1921 when he was appointed United States District Judge of the First Division He served as Secretary of the Territorial Senate in the sessions of 1919 and 1§21 Judge Reed was a man of excellent ability and of sterling homesty and integrity. First and last he served more than a quarter of a century in public office, and there was never the sus- picion of corruption or taint of any kind con- nected with his mame. As a citizen and in private life he was the soul of honor. He bore an honored name and added honor to it A\N()THEhl \()RITE ON. William A.

Radio and the Weather.

What are radio waves? Light—but light that we cannot see Whoever heard of light creating a tempest? To be sure, the sun is held responsible for some of our weather. Com- | bine all the energy of all our radio stations, mul- tiply it by thousands, and the sun would still reign as the supreme disturber of the ether. Even if we accept this new contribution to meteorology at its face value the effect of our broadcasting and other radio stations must be negligible in comparison. And what of lightning? Whenever it flashes in distant India, it sends out waves precisely like those of our great transoceunic stations—waves that sometimes circle half around the earth. They, too, must affect the weather if this new principle is correct. :cording to Brooks, an au- thoritative meteorologist, there are 16,000,000 el- ectric storms in a year over the earth as a whole. Averaging the number of flashes that occur in a single storm, he estimates that there are 100 a sadond Each flash has a potential of . 50,000,- 000 volts, according to a calculation ‘once made by einmetz.

(Anchorage Times.) In the passing of E. L. Bedell, former editor of The Times, the newspaper fraternity has lost an outstanding figure—one whose work in An- |chorage placed his among the foremost of Al- aska's editors and whose career held much of promise in his new field or endeavor. He was not a man to let adversity hold him long in check. He possessed an active mind and an ag- gressiveness which could scarcely fail ultimately to win recognition wherever he might choose to carry on his work. There are many in Anchorage who have been deeply grieved by his sudden passing—grieved because they have lost a friend in whose ability they had abiding faith and be- cause they will not now have the opportunity to share with him and his devoted family the gratification and pleasure of an ambition real- ized. Ted Bedell did much for the upbuilding of this community during the years he resided in Anchorage. He gave liberal support to local enterprises, he was active in civic affairs and was first always in the encouragement of athletics of all kinds. Not So Bad in Alaska. | !
