WATCHERS READY
FOR SEAR EVEN!
WHENJCE MOVES
Commission Whistele Will Inform
Town When Flag Pole Starts
Down Stream.
Nenanaites, Attention! Official
word has been issued from head
quarters that now all is set for the
big event of the going out of the
ice. The pole in the ice has been
placed, the wires connected up, the
clock regulated, bets made and now
the whole town has settled down to a
state of suspense, that ,for prolonged
thrills resembles the excitement of a
world’s baseball series or the anti
cipation of the Kentuck Derby.
To the men of the North the event
looms up as one of the greatest sport
ing events of the year, and outside
of possibly the All-Alaska Sweep
! stakes for dog teams at Nome, this
j event creates more of the traditional
! care-free, take-a-chance atmosphere
| peculiar to Alaska than any other
event. Each breakup in this country
is like each separate mining venture,
replete with features all its own.
No two seem alike. If, last year
the ice moved early, in a slow, spirit
les way, the law of averages, indi
cates that the present season should
■ see a later breakup with a repetition
! of the traditional spectacular fea
tures known to song and story.
All the necessary arrangements for
registering the official time of the
' breakup have now been completed,
I and the blast of the whistle at the
Commission power plant will herald
the great event in due course of
time.
A stake bearing a flag has been
| firmly imbedded in the ice on the
bosom of the river, to which a taut
No. 14 wire leading to the stiff leg
derrick on the dock, is attached. On
this derrick there is also a switch
which is connected by wire to a bell
in the power house, with a trip at
tachment from the bell to the clock.
At the end of the taut wire lead
ing from the stake on the ice to the
stiff leg of the derrick on the dock,
I there is attached a hook which sup
! ports a weight attached to the handle
] of the switch on the stiff leg of the
| derrick. The stake on the ice is set
| 50 feet upstream, and when the ice
| has moved 100 feet the taut wire
will break, releasing the weight at
tached to the handle of the switch
and throw it.
This will have the effect of auto
maticaly ringing the bell and stop
ping the clock in the power house
at the same time; and the engineer
who happens to be on shift at the
tinme will blow the whistle, which
| may be a second or two late.
Mr. H. B. Joseph has entire charge
of the clock in the power house and
satisfies himself daily as to its cor
rectness. No one else is allowed to
have anything to do with the clock
, unti’ after the breakup.
Out of Town Telephone Line Will
Follow the Right of Way _
to Distant Camps.
I
I
Linemen are out the line effect
ing general repairs to the telephone
line of the Alaskan Engineering com
mission south of Nenana, all the way
from town to Residency 4 (43-mile),
and two men have been sent out
on the Fairbanks-Nenana line for
the purpose of putting in a phone
and connecting up Camp 51 with
headquarters.
The line of poles now set for a
distance of about three miles south
of Nenana, will be extended and the
telephone line, which runs along the
edge of the woods in places, will be
shifted to the poles which will follow
the line of the right of way for the
entire distance to 43-mile, also
known as Nenana Crossing.
Considerable material, etc., has
been sent to 43-mile and as soon as
weather conditions will permit, the
work of extending the line along the
right of way from Nenana Crossing
to Lignite, will be taken in hand.

LAST OF MAILS
NOW ON THE WAY
TRAIL BREAKING
, Three Northern Commercial Company
Stage* Are Now Enroute From
Chitina.
FAIRBANKS, April 26—The last
i Outside mail, of the winter schedule,
is now enroute to the Interior, hav
ing left Chitina on the Northern
Commercial company mail stage day
before yesterday. The stage also has
! a large shipment of express and
! eight passengers.
There are now three mails on the
1 road, the nearest one having report
j ed from Little Delta today. They
| are all making slow time, owing to
j the softness of trails and overflows.
I Trail conditions also have rendered
i mail deliveries between Fairbanks
| and Nenana and other lower river
points very uncertain, and it is pos
! sible that much of the mail now
j enroute from the Outside will be held
] up here pending the opening of navi
: gation.*
The Koland stage is scheduled to
| leave for Nenana tonight, but it is
considered doubtful whether it will
i
j be able to make another trip.
