Alaska Airlines Plane
Cracks Up At Lost Itiver
While attempting a landing at
Lost River yesterday, veteran
pilot Bob Jacobs of Alaska Air
lines, ran into unfavorable wea
ther conditions and landed upside
down. According to report, both
wings were torn off the Stinson
plane.
Passenger was Daisy Keene,
ANS nurse who lauds bush pilot
Jacobs for the wonderful way in
which he handled the plane in the
critical emergency and the calm
way in which he set it down so
that neither he or his passenger
were injured.
Martin Olson of Munz Air Ser
vice, who was in the area, brought
both to town directly after the
accident.
Lost River, which is between
two mountains, is noted for un
usually peculiar and tricky air

Now Is The Time To
Start Thinking About
When The Ice Will Go Out
About this 'time of the year
most Alaskans start thinking about
spring and the annual break-up
and with these thoughts come the
possibilities of a trip to Florida
or other faraway places as they
again start studying the time the
Nenana ice will go out.
Ever since 1917 Alaskans have
indulged in this game of guessing
when spring will arrive. Last year
more than 100,000 guesses were
made. Sometimes one person
guesses the right time, sometimes
there are many guesses on the
right minute. Todate the time has
been sometime between April 20
and May 16.
In Nome Keith Hedreen has
been named the representative
of the 1954 Nenana Ice Classic.
Cribbage Tourney Starts Feb. 10

taneously. Prospective players are
urged to enter before the Wed

Capt. Schiller Returns
From Studying Diseases
Of St. Lawrence Dogs
Capt. Everett Schiller from the
Arctic Research Institute, who is
better known here as the “rat
control man” returned recently
from Gam-bell where he has been
studying the diseases of the dogs
of that area. Because of this dis
ease which is caused by a para
site, St. Lawrence dogs are re
stricted and may not be taken
from the island.
He said that the dogs are not
only restricted to the island but
that it would be beneficial at
the present time if new dogs were
brought over to the island from
the mainland.
Capt.. Schiller discussed some
of the problems confronting
scientists today studying a disease
found in the sea otter.
