v Speculation on date of general breakup
That old Indian yarn about a closed
season on Yukon to last throughout the
year will have to await another year,
at least, for corroboration. The Yukon '
is open at Hootalinqua. Word was re
ceived at the White Pass Skagway
offices today that the ice went out of the ;
tiver at the mouth of the Hootalinqua 1
this morning.
The ice remains firm at Whitenorse
? though it is from a week to 10 days'
later than it usually breaks there.
There is no sign of a break at any :
other ponton the Yukon though the
temperature is high.
The ice is thicker in the Yukon and
the lakes this year than usual and that
hj? lead to the contention on the part
of many observers that it will net
breakup as early as usual.
On the other hand, others who are
equally well informed, say the thick
ness of the ice has little or nothing to
do with the breakup. They contcnd
that the ice gives way to rising water
more than to the disintegration be.
cause of the rays of the sun and evap
oration in the warm air. They say
that the br.-akup depends upon melt
ing snow on the bills and in the valleys,
which fill the streams and tloat the
ice.

UNITED STATES WIRE NOT
WORKING TODAY
Skag way cable office can hear Juneau but
cannot, make itself heard at that place,
hence nothing is doing
For most of the time for the last two
days the Skagway Juneau cable has
been out of commission. Juneau can
be heard at the Skagway office and
Skagway and Haloes can communicate
without difficulty. but neither
of the Lynn canal offices can make
themselves heard at the o'.her end of
the line. This would indicate that the
trouble, whatever it is, Is at JuDeau."
As a result of this wire trouble the
Diily Alaskan is practically without
telegraphic news today. One dispatch
was caught at the Skagway end of the
wire before the Juneau office gave up
the effort of sending news that it was
unable to know was reaching the Skag
way end of the wire.

Swastika
(Contributed)
One morning Pete Kern took a rope,
And four men with pails full of dope,
To paint Mt. Dewey's rocky slope,
Swastika.
Stay: stay, cried Tony unto Pete,
Come in and get a bite to eat,
But Fete replied in eccents sweet,
"SwOtika."
So up the mountain side he clim,
With reeling brain and weary limb,
Just one thing kept the life in him,
Swastika.
And when the sun droppidb the Weat.
Pete's head dropped down upon his vest
And murmered as he went to rest,
"Swastika."
