SNAKE KIVKIt BREAKS
The warm days and nights of last
week caused a heavy rush of water
from the hills in the hinterland with
the result that Snake River and its
tributaries were booming. Along
the lower reaches of Snake River
the ice lifted and moved toward the
mouth, carrying huge masses of ice
that soon formed a tremendous jam
at the mouth between the jetties.
The Alaska Road Commission,
under whose supervision water
front operations proceed until ar
rival of the first boats, employed a
crew of men to dynamite the jam
and protect the Harbor structure.
As the ice in Bering Sea has not
yet moved a solid wall remains just
beyond the harbor mouth, making it
impossible for river ice to move be
yond that certain point. All that
the workmen could accomplish was
to break the river ice into smaller
pieces and permit the rush of water
to enter the sea underneath.
Saturday at 2 P. M. was the cri
tical danger period. The river wa
ter rose to within a few inches of
the revetment top and conjectures
were rife as to whether the works
would stand the pressure. On the
Spit side the government engineers
have left a spellway for extremely
high water and at this critical period
the feasibility of the safeguard was
demonstrated. With the mouth
blocked water rapidly backed up
along the entire river, floating the
numerous small vessels of the mos
quito fleet. As soon as the level of
the spill way was reached the pres
sure was released and prevented a
dangerous eroding overflow lower
down, along the revetments. Per
sistent use of dynamite kept break
ing up the ice mass until the pres
sure was reduced to a safety point.
Fortunately a cold snap set in Sun
day reducing the flow from the hills
and at the present time the roaring
river has become a veritable mill
Thruout Saturday and Sunday
the river front was lined with inter
ested spectators. It is needless to
state that each group of spectators
had a different solution or the pro
blem confronting the Road Com
mission. Each one thot that its
certain plan was the right one to
ssive the works. Many, it is to be
lamented, hoped that the pressure
would become so great that the re
vetments or the jetties would go
out, and in that manner discredit
the men in charge of the work.
The danger is now past and the
government project has stood a test
that has proved the worth of the
structure; has proved that the
work done by the constructing en
gineers is honest, in fact has stood
a test that has but one equal or
greater, namely, a movement of the
ice from the southeast or east. The
inclined plane structure of the jet
firs was so built that ice movements
would rise over nr ride the heavy
timbers instead < f striking them at
right angles, and shearing them as
is the case with !*<» degree jetties or
I Apparently it is the concensus or
opinion that it would be far better
to let the river break up in its own
fashion and not try to hasten the
! breakup by dynamiting inside tin*
Jetties. If dynamiting is necessary
it seems much more logical to do
such work outside the jetties, on

HltiH WATER WASHES UI» SAFE

Early in the week several well

, their attention was drawn to a pe
i culiar looking object on the spit side
; of the river. They crossed in a

Visions of Captain Kidd’s treas

discoverers. The safe was quite

expert safe crackers. Getting busy

The school term for this year I
will he completed June Sth. The |
tsuii! final examinations will take j
place the last week. There are two I
graduating classes, the eighth grade
ind senior class. The eighth grade I
will take the customary territorial j
ixaiuinations next week. Next year j
t is hoped there, will be a larger at- j
endance than there has been for j
some time, in the High School, due
0 the fact that students are ex
pected to arrive from the outside.
Exercises are being planned which ;
will terminate the school"year. By I
he time vacation is over, no doubt ,
ill will be ready to resume success
ful school activities again.
Mr. Frank Dufresne. federal game j
warden, paid the Nome public school
1 visit. He dwelt on the subject of ;
tilling ptarmigan out of season, j
Due to the fact that there are rum- j
urs of some of the boys going out j
ifter ducks and killing ptarmigan,
he politely told them not to do it I
igain. since they must bear the full |
[•onsequences of the law the same as
1 bootlegger or theif. He said that i
this warding does not only apply to
the school boys, but to each and j
pvery person who attempts violation J
t»f this law. In regard to shooting
ptarmigan during the mating sea
son he says: “They’ve done it bp
rore. but they’re not going to do it
this year and get away with it.”
He stated the fine is $25.00 or from j
twenty to thirty days in jail. The j
hoys wish to thank him for the ;
warning and wish the Association the |
best of luck.

TANANA RIVER BREAKS
AT NENANA
A wireless from Fairbanks states
that the Tanana river at Nenana
has broken up. No date or further
mention of ice conditions is made.
The people of Nenana have form
ed an Ice Pool, amounting to $10.
000, to be awarded the persons
making the closest guess as to when
the break up would occur. From
the list submitted it is evident that
a considerable division of the
amount was made as there were six
winners. Following persons partic
ipated in the pool distribution:
Alex Carlsen. R. E. Bignev. Farrel
& Co.. Carl Seichero. Mrs. McPhail.

From a report received early in
