WATER ON ICE
CRUST AT NENENA
Daytime sun is apparently wag
ing a winning war against night
ly freezes at Nenana.
A telephone report from Geor-;
ge Hupprich, manager of the Ne
nana Ice Classic which closed Sat
urday, carried information that
the Tanana River is flanked by
pools of water.
The ice is reported as shaky |
rotting, and broken by water str
etches as large as 300 to 400 feet
in several places. The main body
of the ice, however, was said by
Hupprich to be still solid.
From another site on the Tan-1
ana at Richardson, came the re-1
port that the main channel is
now open. At Big Delta water is
running as it has during virtual
ly the entire winter.
A new all-time high temper- j
ature for April in Fairbanks ap
pears to be the aim of Old Man

time April record of 65 rgeister
ed April 28, 1916.
Meanwhile the Chena River i

a half since last Monday.

marked by large overflow areas,!
and open water breaks. Last
