The official time will be recorded
by a blast of the fioe whistle, blown
automatically by the movement of
the ice, the arrangement being such
that the clock in the power house
will be stopped at the same time, on
the minute the ice sheet moves in
front of Xenana.
Seconds do not count in determin
ing the official time. For instance,
it is 12 o’clock until the recording
hand of the clock indicates one
full minute after, and so on around
the dial.

NENANA ICE CONTEST
TO CLOSE TOMORROW
The registration of guesses in the
annual N'enana ice pool will end

and to representatives of the com
mittee at Fairbanks, Anchorage.
Healy, Eska and other points along
tie railroad guessing is in progress.
The committee has requested The
News to remind all guessers to be
very careful in marking their tickets
to mark them plainly and to be sure
their names are attached. In the
case of combinations, the names of
all composing the combination
should be on at least one of the
tickets, for the information of the
committee.
In the payment of the money, af
ter the ice moves, the committee will
be guided entirely by the name or
names appearing on the winning
ticket or tickets. Should there be
agreements between guessers, the di
vision of money must be made by
the winner, after the money has
been turned over to the pommittee.
Up to the present time a total of
twelve thousand tickets have been
printed and turned over to the com
mittee, and it is expected that at
least another thousand will be need
ed tonight. There are less than one
thousand unsold tickets in Nenana
