The company has a contract, up- (
proved by the federal court, paying j
it half of the value of the Princess
Sophia and its valuable cargo. Last
year, over $70,000 was recovered
from the Sophia and 87 of the
bodies of the victims were brought
to the surface. The company ex- j
pects to raise the Sophia sometime j
in May. The vessel lies in com- i
paratively shallow water and it will I
not be a difficult undertaking.

Arthur Smith, former Fairbanks
boy, who went out with the first
bunch of draftees, now has a res
taurant in Burkburnette, in the
Texas oil belt, according to a let
ter received from him on the last
mail. He writes that he is doing
well, but there is no water in the
town fit to serve on the table and
the climate is such that “Smithy”
wishes he were back in Alaska. He
says his father, who has spent many
years in the Xorth, is now in Se
attle and may return to Alaska in
the spring.

The near approach of spring; is
officially indicated in N’enana by the
commencement of preparations for
the annual ice pool, Interior Alas
ka’s classic sporting event. Tickets
for the big guessing contest have j
already been prepared and are now I
being distributed, and the other ar-i
rangements are moving along rap-'
idly under the general direction of S
Frank Doner, acting in co-oueration |
with those who were identified with I
the movement last year.
The same rules that governed the j
contest last year will apply again j
this year, the only difference be- i
ing an extension of the guessing I
period from April 15 to April 20. |
It will be recalled that the guessing j
was just getting good when the con-1
test closed last year. It is also j
announced that the stake, which j
the commission officials will place in !
the river ice to indicate the time;
of movement, will be placed farther
out than was done last year, nearer
the center of the stream. The
stake, as before, will be connected i
by wire with the clock in the power
house. As the wire tightens with
the movement of the ice, the clock
will be stopped instantly, and by
automatic arrangement the commis
sion whistle will inform the public
that the ice is in motion.
for the convenience of those de-1
siring to record their guesses, boxes j
will be placed at the N. C. store,,
the Portland, the Terminal, the \
Railroad, and at the commission
store at Healy. The tickets will
be deposited in these boxes as they
are filled in, and after the ice has
moved a committee will go through
the tickets and announce the win
ner. This committee has not yet
been r rr • 1, but its selection will
be made known at an early date.
Last year’s pool was an unusually i
large one, the guesses totaling more I
than 1,800. Mrs. Alfred Ghezzi
guessed closest to the time the ice :
moved.
For the information of those de- j
siring to register their guesses early, i
it may be stated that the ice moved :
on May 3 last year, the official time
being 2:23 p. m. In 1918 the ice
moved on May 11 at 9:33 a. m., :
the breakup having been delayed
that year by cold weather.

ORGANIZE TONIGHT
All residents of Nenana who
served the colors during the late
war are invited to attend a meeting
in the Union building which has
been called for tonight for the pur
pose of forming a local post of the
American Legion. The movement
is sponsored by Major M. E. Smith,
chief surgeon of the Government
hospital; Lieutenant R. S. Donald
son, general storekeeper of the Alas
kan Engineering commission; Joe
O’Connor, of the Terminal, and
other well-known residents of the
town who were members of Uncle
Sam’s big army during the war.
Nearly every other town in the
Territory is now represented in the
great organization of ex-service men
and it is believed that Nenana,
which went over the top in both
men and money during the war,
should also have a share in the
legion movement. It requires only
twelve signers to get a charter, but
it is the hope of those behind the
movement that several times that
number will sign on at tonight’s
meeting.
The meeting will be held in the
quarters of the Nenana Commercial
club, commencing at eight o’clock.
The invitation is extended to all
men, out of the service or in it,
who served while the war was in
progress.
