on several municipal and high
way questions and a favorable
vote on cleaning up the high

bers for further discussion and
decisions concerning the
change of the formerly propos
ed route through Molalla of
Cascade route.
Dr. P. A. Loar gave the re
port of the proposed changes

a proceeding of due north from

Alaska Ice Classic Has
Populace All Aquiver
Nenana, Alaska, May 11 UR) This normally peaceful little
town was setthing with excitement today as sourdoughs and
Cheechackos converged on the scene of the famous Tanana river
ice break-up.
The only topic of conversation was, "when will the mighty
Tanana begin to move?"
Headway Gained by
County Cancer Drive
Marion county's cancer drive
was reported by the chairman
for the drive, Robert M. Fischer.
Jr., as having gained momen
tum Mondav.
It could be the latest breakup
in the record of the Nenana ice
pool which this year may reach
$183,000 a new record. The
Tanana has never moved later
than May 18.
Hundreds are keeping watch
ful eyes on the tripod located
about 289 feet out in the river.
A wire leads from the tripod to
a clock.
A strict watch is being main
tained by guards. The guard
shack houses the clock that spells
riches to the lucky person or
persons guessing the exact day,
hour and minute when the tri
pod goes crashing down river.
A wave of excitement spread
throughout the northland yes
terday when Slim Avery, offi
cial judge and manager of the
great ice classic, reported water
was coming on top of the ice.
The river is open on the left
bank from the mouth of the Ne
nana river down to the mouth of
Unevack slough, a distance of
about four miles. The rapid
stream has been cutting the ice
at the rate of about 200 yards a
day.
No water Is reported on the
ice above the town of Nenana
and no open water is reported
up river for 20 miles.
The flats above Nenana are
mostly covered with snow, but
a few hot days or a rain could
melt the snow rapidly and speed
the break-up.
A new and unique siren sys
tem will be used this year. When
the tripod moves one foot it au
tomatically sets off the alarm to
notify the residents of Nenanan

that the Ice is moving.
However, the tripod must
travel downstream 100 feet be
fore the clock is tripped and the
exact second recorded.
History of the ice classic goes
back to 1917 when sourdoughs,
Cheechakos, miners and Indians
first paid their money and took
their chances.
Not only does the crackup
mean wealth and prosperity for
one or more lucky winners, but
it also heralds' the coming of
spring to central Alaska. It
marks the opening of the river
to navigation and the movement
of mining freight and long
awaited supplies by boat.
Spring officially arrives with
the stopping of the watch.
