What with warm spring weath
>r prevalent at Nome and Fair
banks. the Ice Pool guessers have
the jitters and with only one
more day to go before the clos
I ing.
We’ve heard some real prognos
ticatars betting that the Nenana
Ice would go out by the fifteen
of this month —and if it did it
I would be the earliest on record.
Some guessers believe that due
to Easter coming early this year
the Nenana ice is going out early
too.
And some believe that because
of the light snow-fall in this sec
tion, the ice will go out earlier—
at Nenana. The snowfall in the
interior has (been heavier than
Last year, it is said, and that may
mean anything: either lots of wa
ter on top of the ice, and a late
breakup, or lots of water under
neath and an early breakup.
Politics, “tin-can-itis,” gossip,
and , Confucius to the contrary,
all you can hear nowadays is:
“When wrill the Ice go out?”
If you have the inside dope on
when it’s going out however, give
us a tip so we won’t have to cov
er too many guesses: it costs like
the “devil,” but if one ticket will
win it, we would just as soon we
had it. From all indications, the
grand total of the Nenana Ice
Pool, is expected to top the last
two years. It will be a nice little
pot whoever gets it.
