I ON BREAK UP
OF YUKON IC
Dawson residents already are lay
ing wngers on the exact time of the
annual spring break-up of ice in the
Yukon river, considered by all the
most important date in the calendar in
this section of the sub-Arctic.
May has always been the month of
the break-up. Every year since the
old days of ’98 dollars have changed
hands in pools organized by Daw'son
people, who back with money their
guesses as to the exact minute of the
hour they think the ice will move.
Usually the pools are made up of
sixty entries, each placing his money
on the minute of the hour. The man
holding the “winning minute” takes
the sixty. Sometimes raffles are
hinged on the break-up. Once a man
won a house and lot in such a raffle.
All Dawson stands on the river bank
there when the break is expected.
Weeks before, a stake is set in the
ice in the river and a cable attached
to the stake is connected with a clock
and a steam whistle in the power plant
on shore. When the ice moves the
stake the cable blows the w'histle and
stops the clock. One year the cable
broke and bets were declared off.
Usually all the other whistles and
all the bells in town take up the
echo of the power plant whistle tied
to the stake. Up and down the big
valley the echoes are carried, for,
once the ice is broken, Dawson know"s
that the long winter is over and that
soon steamboats will be coming down
the Yukon from Whitehorse with fresh
supplies and mail from the far-away
outside wmrld.

CASTLE ROCK, Colo., April 9 (by

the high cost of government is the
most important contribution to the
high cost of living, then Castle Rock

ger and all the other town officers
were candidates for re-electTon. Ap

got along all right last year under

out the expense of an election.
