H The destruction of the Titanic by an iceberg and the constant n " menace presented to ocean navigation by the mountains of ice KB might lead to the conclusion that icebergs serve no good purpose, W but there is more than one ocean port -where the glacial ice is wel- H coined and made a source of profit Of this we arc reminded by the return from a visit to Alaska of E A. Linsley and wife, 2762 Wall fl avenue. The Ogdenites were in Juneau last summer and fall, cn-9 cn-9 jyi"ff a visit, with a daughter. There was much that was strange a and new to them, but nothing excited their curiosity so much as to M be told that a "flock" of icebergs were 'in the "channel" and that m some of the larger bergs were to be captured while the high tide ' m was on. They watched the boatmen at work on the bergs, saw the , m boats tow in and beach a giant and then, at low tide, saw the fish wagons drive down to the water's edge, break up the ice and cart it away to the fish houses. - The" glaciers of Alaska manufacture ice ; the waves break off fl a mighty slab, the ocean currentsassist and the tide completes the M task of supplying Juneau with the product of nature's great refrig- m era tor. m But that which does for Juneau a good service, threatens mis- m fortune for others. That is nature's way of doing things the world ' m over. - |
