RELIANCE WILL MAKE
VOYAGE TO KANTISHNA
According to advices received
from the head office of the White
Pass company, the steamer Reliance
will be employed during part of the
coming season in carrying ore from
the Kantishna district.
J. II. Scott, local agent of the
company, has been engaged for
some time in an effort to induce
the company to establish a regular
service on the Kantishna river this
year and while the information re
ceived today does not state that
Jsuch a service will be inaugurated,
j it is now assured that one or two
; trips will be made during the sea
son, at least.
By the time navigation opens,
| there will be 700 tons of ore from
the Aitken mine at Roosevelt await
ing shipment to the smelter at Ta
coma, and there is reason to believe
i
the Reliance will also have consid
erable freight going into the dis
! trict.

A committee consisting: of “Burt”
runison, Martin N'asti, and Ed J.
Cronin has been selected to can
vass the guesses jn the big ice pool,
ifter the break has occurred, and
letermine the winner. This com
mittee will meet immediately after]
:he whistle blows, so that the public j
may not have to wait any longer
than is absolutely necessary to learn
the name of the lucky guesser. The
result was made known last year
within a remarkably short time after
the ice went out, and this year’s
committee will endeavor to be equal
ly prompt in acting.
The members of tht> committee
were making inquiries this after
noon for the purpose of ascertain
ing the sentiment regarding a pro
posal to extend the time for guess
ing. As it stands now, the guesses
must be in not later than Tuesday
night of next week, and there are
many around town who believe that
is too early, in view of the fact that
there are no signs of a breakup at
present. In fact, oldtimers do not
recall a time when there was so
much snow on the ground this late
in the season, and so little water
on top of the ice in the river.
These conditions, they argue, can
not change sufficiently by Tuesday
to permit of “intelligent” guessing.
In order that those interested in
the breakup may refresh their mem
ories regarding the performance of
the weather and the ice in past sea
sons, the following summary is giv
en :
