Announcement of the postoffice
department that Kantishna mail is
to be dumped at Roosevelt during
the coming summer, as was done
last year, is to be answered shortly
by a protest, in the form of a peti
tion requesting delivery at the Kan
tishna postoffice, instead of at a
deserted cabin thirty miles from the
diggings.
Kantishnaites claim the service
given them last summer was worse
than no service at all. 1110 monthly
accumulations of mail matter were
delivered at Roosevelt landing and
left ‘there unguarded for everyone
to maul and the elements to de
stroy. The contract made no pro
vision for delivery of the mail at
the Kantishna postoffice, thirty miles
from the landing, and that any of
it reached its destination was large
ly a matter of luck. Delivery of mail
was more certain and more frequent
before the postoffice department in
augurated its half-baked service,
and promise of more of the same
service during the coming summer
is not a bit pleasing ito residents of
the Kantishna, who are deserving
of much more considerate treat
ment at the hands of fci.o postoffice
department.
Those who have an ear to the
ground, waiting for news of nomin
ations rom Washington, may as well
forget politics for the time being,
because the senate is not now in
session and it is probable that few,
if any further announcements will
be made by the President until
after the extra session of Congress
has been convened on April 11.
The Fairbanks NewSrMiner is ter
ribly alarmed lest John Ballaine be
selected by Secretary Fall as a
member of the Alaskan Engineer
ing commission—perhaps chairman.
But we’ll wager there is no such
feeling among the residents of
Seward, who doubtless would wel
come the appointment of almost
any one with holdings , in the Gate
way City. Mr. Ballaine owns a lot
of property in Seward.
With a dozen divisions marching
against Poland, it does.not look as
if Lenine and Trotsky had lost
their grip on Russia.
The action of the i Nevada legis
lature, in providing a bounty on
the first producing oil well broughc
in, sounds good to The News. Why
not offer a similar inducement to
stimulate oil prospecting in Alaska?
Mrs. E. A. Williams is circulating
a petition in her own behalf, re
questing appointment as postmaster
at Nenana. She is the only person
thus far to make application for
the place.
The committee in charge of the
benefit show given at the Coliseum
on Tuesday night has asked The
News to thanks those who contrib
ted in any way to the success of the
entertainment, ancj especially to
those who helped with the program.

TICKETS FOR ICE POOL ARE
ON SALE NOW IN NENANA
Tickets for the annual ice pool,
the big sporting event of Nenana,
have been distributed along the i
line of the Government railroad,
from Anchorage to Fairbanks, and
all is in readiness for the registra-!
tion of guesses on when the Tan-!
ana river ice will move in front of1
Nenana. By starting early, the com
mittee in charge of the preliminary
arrangements, believes the pool can
be made much larger than any of
the previous pools. Boxes for the I
depositing of tickets in Nenana,!
have been placed at the Terminal
and the Portland, but it is likely
that the tickets will be placed at
; a number of other places as soon
j as demand warrants.
The committee has issued a cir
! cular setting forth the conditions'
of the contest as follows:
Tickets to be sold at $1 each.
Write plainly your name, address,
j date, hour and minute, and whether
■ a. m. or p. m., and place ticket in
| box.
; Total amount of pool to go to
| winner,—that is, the one who guess
| i s closest to the time, either before
[ or after the time decided upon by
the committee of four, of the offi
cial breakup; or in case there are
more than one who have the same
| time, the pool will be divided equal
ly.
Tool will close April 15, 1921, at
midnight, and all boxes holding
: tickets must then be sealed and sent
as soon as possible to the N. C.
! company, at Nenana, where they
| will remain until after the ice
• moves. They will then be taken in
j charge by the committee of four,
| appointed for the purpose of determ
j ining the winner. This committee
jwill be composed of A. St. J. Mc
| Auley, E. J. Cronin, Martin Nash
| and Alf. Ekeland.
I To decide the actual time of the
: breakup, a pole will be placed in the
ice at a point opposite the Com
mission warehouse, wires stretched
from it to the power plant, where
, connections will be made with the
clock. And when the ice moves
| enough to cause the wire to break,
it rings a bell in the power plant,
blows the whistle and stops the
clock. At the time when the pool
I is closed, April 15, the dock is also
sealed, so that no changes in the
I time are possible.
| The rule in regard to the exact
time of the breakup is, that if the
j clock stops on the minute, it is so
j called; and if the minute hand
i stops between two minutes, it goes
| the one before; in other words,
: it remains the former until it has
reached the latter.
The amount of the 1918 pool was
$850; 1919 pool, $1930; 1920 pool,
$2985. An effort will be made to
j boost the 1921 pool to $5,000 or
; more.
The ice moved in front of Nenana
in 1918 on May 11, at 9:33 a. m,
In 1919 it moved on May 3, at 2:25
p. m. And in 1920 it moved on May
at 11:47 a. m.

'NEVADA AUTHORITIES ARE
LOOKINK FOR LOUIS KLOPSCH
The Reno, Nevada, Evening Ga
zette, of February 18, has the fol
lowing to say regarding the dis
appearance of Louis Klopsch, form
er Fairbanks newspaperman:
“With creditors of Louis Klopsch,
director of publicity of the so-called
‘Associated Citizens of Elko County’
causing much concern to business
men of Elko by pressing claims
for money alleged to be due them
through liabilities incurred by the
aforesaid Klopsch, and by the flood
of inquiries concerning his where
abouts which has been pouring into
the Elko postoffice, a nation-wide
search for the man has been insti
tuted, it was announced today by
Sheriff Stern, of Ormsby county.
“Three thousand circulars have
been sent broadcast over the nation
requesting the arrest of Klopsch for
the alleged utterance of a fictitious
check for $350 in Carson City a
few days prior to his disappearance
a fortnight ago. These contain a
' description of the man and other
information designed to assist in
apprehending him.
“Officers in the vicinity of the
Mexican border have been request
ed to watch for him. It was ex
! plained that Klopsch had sufficient
j time to reach Tia Juana before the
) official action taken against him at
! Carson became officially known.”

Nenana, returned to town yester

RECEIPT OF RELIEF FUNDS
John H. Scott, who had charge
of the raising of funds in Nenana
i for the relief of European children,
has received the following letter
jfrom John A. Clark, of Fairbanks,
[ chairman of the relief work in this
division;
“At this time I want to acknow
ledge receipt of your several com
munications, and the money raised
by you in N’enana for the relief of
i the starving children of Europe.
“ * * * you will probably notice
' in the published reports of the con
, triburior.s, from the various places,
that Nenana is credited with con
siderable more than you forwarded,
but that is attributable to the North
ern Commercial Company and the
White Pass Company making con
tributions which 1 distributed anion*;
the several places and, therefore,
; Nenana received credit for $50 more
' than was sent by you.
“The total amount raised in this
campaign amounted to almost five
thousand dollars, which is extreme
ly good for this division.’’

confined to her home at Healy by

; ment—how close ithey are to each
, other, and in what parts of the sky
—so it is supposed will the future
life o€ one born under them be ar
ranged. This Celestial page of desti
ny, of which the lettered symbols
are the seven planets, the moon,
the sun and the constellations of the
zodiac, is called a HOROSCOPE.
Send the date of your birth, day and
