TOURIST GLACIER CAUSE OF WORRY SEATTLE, May 28. UP)—Taku glacier, tourist attraction extraordinary of southeastern Alaska, is ambling along at the rate of five feet a day and is causing the United States coast and geodetic survey no end of Worry. The glacier's speed, considered phenomenal for such a huge ice field, was reported to Commander O. W. Swainson, in charge of the Seattle station, by Lieutenant H. Arnold Karo. The glacier's perambulations were discovered last summer when a tourist-laden steamer, edging in toward the icy spectacle, ran aground where charts showed plenty of water. Lieutenant Karo went north this spring to investigate. He reported the glacier had advanced about three miles into Taku inlet since the first surveys in 1890. The ship was grounded last summer by silt deposited by the glacier. "If silt continues to form in the channel, it may be impossible for ships to reach the glacier 30 years," Swainson said.
