FIRST SNOW ON HILLS
First snow of the season has appeared this week on the mountain peaks in the "back hills" visible from Juneau. Comments around town varied, according to the viewpoint: the "Alice Sit by the Fires" shuddering slightly at the thought of approaching winter, the skiers with anticipation of long white slopes of powder snow and the hunters with a gleam in the eye in the assurance that deer and game birds will come down into the timber to make the work a little easier in bringing 'em out.
