Western and Southern Alaska and THUNDER, LIGHTNING STORM EXPERIENCED Last night for the first time since April, 1928, Juneau experienc- ed a thunder and lightning storm. It was about 12:49 o'clock a. m. Ralph C. Mize, Chief Meteor- ologist of the U. 8. Weather Bu- reau at Juneau, stated that a st_rcak of lightning appeared over Mount Jumbo, on Douglas Island and was followed by a loud clap of thunder which in turn was followed by a heavy rainfall. Such storms are infrequent in this vicinity and the loud report of the thunder last night awaken- ed a great many people in Ju- neau. According to Mr. Mize, the rainfall last night amounted to about seventeen-hundredths of an inch, et e 42 INDIAN CHILDREN ARE TAKEN TO SCHOOL Rev. and Mrs. David Wuggonc'r returned to Juneau Monday on the r on boat Princeton after hav- pent Sunday in Angoon where they stopped for the purpose of taking the remainder of a group of 42 children to the Sheldon Jack- on School at Sitka. “These children,” said Rev.
