DUNSMUIR The arrest of Dave
Thiery, 20, McCloud, at the Mt
Shasta Ski Rowl early last Satur
day morning for illegal possession
of alcohol and brandishing a wea
pon brought about a chain reac
tion that involved three Dunsmuir
youths and possibly others.
Thiery was given 100 days in
Siskiyou County Jail by Judge
John Kinstrey of Mount Shasta aft
er being found guilty of possessing
a switch blade knife and cans of

Quantities of beer and empty beer
cans were found in Ake s apart
ment, which he rented recently
after getting a job here. Ake was
found guilty in Dunsmuir Justice

taking no precautions to prevent
forest fire. Kirley, working east
of Dunsmuir, was responsible for
a small fire extinguished by the
U.S. Forest Service last week.
Harry R. Curtis, 20, Dunsmuir,

Bob Shea, 21, and Edward
Webb, 22, made the kill several
hundred yards oft Wind 'n' Sea

ter on a baited line and then
dragging it backwards through

It was the first shark kill by
lifeguards since they were as

Robert Pajnperin was killed by a
shark last June 14 and another
skindiver was attacked a short

But another hammerhead shark,
a nine-footer, was killed by a

WATER CONSUMPTION iytOPS
YREKA Charles Cooley, Yreka

consumption for last week was
120,000 gallons less than the pre

a chance to recover. The Boston
shaft is being pumped more hea
vily and has dropped about one
and a half feet. Water regulations
are being enforced under City Or

serve water until the fall rains.
MOUNT SHASTA-The glaciers
on Mt. Shasta are relatively stable
despite evidences of breakup and
runoff experienced this summer,
the hottest summer in over 30
years, mountain experts state.
Julian Quemerais, French alpin
ist and ski instructor at the Mt.
Shasta Ski Bowl, climbed to the
saddle of Mt. Shasta this past
week where he could observe both
Whitney glacier on the northwest
slope of the mountain and Kon
wakiton, the glacier that is sub
ject to periodic concern on the
southeast slope.
"The glaciers are stable, Que
merais said, "it is the mountain
that is unstable." In explaining
the latter statement,- Quemerais
said most glaciers rest on granite
slopes of mountainsides and Mt.
Shasta is not granite, much of it
is loose volcanic rock subject to
slippage.
"A glacier is not inert," he ex
plained, noting those unfamiliar
with glaciers are often alarmed
by the obvious motion particularly
around the glacier s perimeter. In
hot weather, the glacier's edges
slough off with resultant mud run
off and rock slides but Quemerias
said the ice masses of the gla
cier remain relatively unaffected.
Harry Watkins of McCloud, who
submits data on glacial conditions
on Mt. Shasta to the Internation
al Geodetic Committee, was more
reluctant to discuss current condi
tions on the mountain, as he ex
plained he had not yet begun
his annual treks to Konwakiton.
"I usually begin my observa
tions and picture taking late in
August," Watkins said, "and con
tinue into October or as long as
weather permits."
Watkins said he doesn't antici
pate much change this year des
pite the light snowfall last win
ter and the extreme temperatures
this summer. Watkins doesn't be
lieve the heavy snowpack built up
in the winter of 1957-58 has dissipated.
Watkins said he is no expert on
glaciers. He explained that he
has taken comparative photo
graphs of Konwakiton glacier for
a number of years and submits
these and other data he gathers to
Oliver Kehrlein of San Francisco,
the expert of Sierra glaciers, who
in turn submits data to the Inter
national Geodetic Committee.
"I'll know more about how the
summer affected Konwakiton gla
cier in uctober." Watkins said

HAPPY CAMP-The best firs
prevention people in the world
are kids, says John Casperson,
fire prevention officer in the Yu-
konom District along the Klann
ath River.
So far this year there have been
no forest fires in this district be
cause of the alert interest of his
Junior Rangers, boys from 5 to
17 years old, organized about four
months ago. Casperson holds fre
quent meetings, with w i e n e f
roasts, baseball games and camr
ing trips. And he teaches- them the
fundamentals of fire safety in tin
woods.
Even the youngest of the boys
report findings of lighted cigar
ettes thrown along the roads,
matches still burning, or note the
lack of spark arresters on cats,
and smoldering campfires left by
the public.
James Beard, a 9-year-old ol
Somes Bar, put out a fire by him
self July 18, which he discovered
starting in another district.
Casperson. whose headquarters
are at the Ti Bar Ranger Station
27 miles down the river from
Happy Camp is popular at ths
