To meet the requirements of the
j Daylight Saving Law and in keeping
; with the federal regulations under
I this law, all clocks of the Commis
| sion will be set ahead one hour at
; two o’clock on the morning of Sun
| day, March 30th.
, The Daylight Saving bill was
i passed by the Senate of the United
j States sometime during March, 1918,
final action was taken by the House
March 16th, on w'hich date it was
sent to the White House for the
President’s signature.
The measure provided for the
advancing of the time of the nation
one hour on the last Sunday in
March, each year. On the last Sun
day in October the clocks are turn
ed back to the correct time, where
they remain until the following
March.
Fairbanks blundered last fall an 1
turned the clocks back a month
earlier than required by the pro
visions of the bill and the A. E. C.
followed suit. The upper town
switched back when they found out
they were wrong, but the A. E. C.
stuck it out to the end.
In order to be in correct time
with the Commission and the tele
graph offices, turn your clock or
watch back sixty minutes on Sunday
morning at two o'clock, or as soon
thereafter as possible.

yesterday afternoon by Engineer

START IS MADE
TO RUN ICE POOL
ON THE BREAKUP
In order to celebrate in a fitting
manner the event which means so
much to tile ice-bound inhabitats
of the country and manifests to
them that once again the inland
rivers of the North are open to
commerce it has been decided to
organize a pool, open to all, on the
minute during which the Ice goes
out of the Tanana river. Last year
at the break-up the deciding of
the pool occasioned such enjoyable
interest that it was thought that
to let such an event transpire with
out some special recognition would
be to lose one of the amusements
most dear to the hearts of the Nor
therners. In governing the contest
exactly the same rules as were ap
plied last year will be in force and
for those not familiar with these
rules they are outlined below.
Mr. W. L. Packer, of the A. E.
commssion, has stated that the Com
mission will again see that the
proper stake is placed near the
center of the river to mark the
official location, and this post will
be connected up with wire to the
clock governing the contest. As
the wire tightens with the movement
of the ice the clock in the engine
room will be stopped instantly and
as this in turn is connected with
the whistle, the sounding of which
will notify all at once that the ice
is moving, there can be no doubt
as to the exact minute.
A box with a sealed cover and
with only a slit to allow of the
tickets being deposited will be sta
tioned at the N. C. store. At this
place as well as at the Arctic, the
Terminal and the Portland and at
the timekeeping and disbursing
offices in the Commission, tickets
can be had- After midnight on
April loth, at which time the last
guess must be in, the ticket box
will be securely sealed and not
opened again until the ice is in
motion. As on previous occasions
the deciding of the exact minute and
also the details of the official count
will be in the hands of a reliable
committee composed of three men;
this year. H. B. Joseph, G. L. (Cap)
Hall and Harry Davis, of the Arctic.
With the aid of the men who have
consented to assist, the event is
sure to go off without the slightest
hitch and the thrill of looking for
ward to the exact minute of the
break-up. which is invariably a
fascinating spectacle, will be felt
by all.
In order to make it clear to al'
it should be understood that tht
winner will be the person whost
guess is the closest to the exact
time, either before or after. A
minute will be judged as being th«
sixty seconds following the numeral
on the clock. For instance: it wil
be twelve o’clock until the minutt
hand has passed 12.01—then 12.01
until the hand has passed 12.02, etc
The friendly spirit of rivalrj
among old time Alaskans as to just
how expert the many years spent ir
the country has made them in figur
ing weather conditions, especially ir
the spring, has long been a sourc<
of their chief sport and to judgt
from the interest already manifestec
in the coming break-up this yeat
will be no exception.

RENTS ON INCREASE
IN OLD LONDON NOW
LONDON.—The growing demand
for houses in London has caused
some landlords to notify tenants to
leave in order that the houses may
be re-let at higher rentals. In many
cases small householders are faced
with the prospect of soon being
homeless. The situation in several
districts of the city is said to be
acute.
