Who Can Guess
When Tanana

and there would go the tripod. Of
course Old Sol will have to do a
lot of shining before that large
flow of water comes down.
A1 'Linder tempers this state
ment somewhat with a descrip
tion of an old-timer named Cal
houn, who lived up river from
across from the Mission. Ie seems
that Calhoun kept a set of books
comparable to those that might be
kep by a chartered public account
ant. In those books he kept a daily
record, weather, snowfall, etc.
He kept a twice monthly check
of the depth of ice, as well as any
information he felt might >be per
tinent to the annual spring break
up.
A group of old-timers, some
twenty or more used to -buy a cer
tain number of tickets and take
them up to Calhoun, who would
form a pool and do the ticket
marking -based entire, of course,
on his scientific set of books. After
much checking and cross-check
ing of his records for many years
passed, Calhoun. picked THE day.
He then wrote a ticket for each
odd minute of the day from mid
morning until some time shortly
after six p.m.
A1 says the day Calhoun picked
was all right. It was a wonderful
show of scientific legerdemain,
only one thing wrong with it. You
guessed it. The ice went out on an
even minute and the members of
the pool nearly had heart failure.
Linder still wonders where that
wonderful set of records went af
ter Calhoun passed on.
About all this little story shows
is, that a fellow standing on the
deck of a halibut boat in South
eastern Alaska, or a trapper above
Fort Yukon, pulling up his traps,
has as much chance or maybe

’Quake Near
Aleutian Islands
SAN FRANCISCO </P)—A “very
severe” earthquake, believed cen
tered on the ocean floor in the
Aleutian Islands off southwest
Alaska, was recorded yesterday
by seismographs at Corvalis, Ore*,
Berkeley, Calif., New York City
and on the Hawaiian island of.
Oahu.
The Oregon State College seis
mograph at Corvalis picked up
the tremblor at 2:17 pjn. <HST.)
The University of California in

later and Columbia and Fordham
Universities said the shock was
noted at 5:22 p.m. (BST)
