WEATHER GIVES
GUESSERS LOTS
Of EXCITEMENT

That the date of the breakup is
near at hand is the oorceilsus of
opinion among the oldtimers Of the
country, who deem that they are en-
titled to know, by reason Of the
many breakups tnet have Leen wit
witness of, and the varied exper-
fences thy had had regarding the
weather conditions Immediately pre-
ceding slch a desirable state of af-
fairs. The snowfall of last FRIDAY
night and Saturday, with the rain
CT last night, will. it is claimed, very
materially contribute to The rottlug
away of the ice; and indications at
several places along the Tanana
river would appear to bear out this
statement. From the reports of
those who have been far afie!d
lately, almost all of the lesser streams
tributary to the Nenana and Tanana
rivers seem to have open stretches
| of water to a considerable extent.
Julius creek, a stream carrying a
large volume of water, though with
not much of a current. has already
broken; and seems to have, in a
large measure, helped to open up the
Nenana at the confluence, about five
miles south of town, ard for some
distance below. Stretches of open
water on the Nenana has also been
reported from various points along
the line.
Warm nights may now be ex-
pected, according to the sourdoughs,
and the same authority explain that
few such nights usually suffices
to melt much of the deep laying
snow in the mountain regions and
thereby furnish the volume of water
necessary to precipitate the breakup.
Speculation is rife among Ne
nanaites, nearly all of whom have
invested, more or less heavily, and
registered guesses in the big $1,000
pool and several lesser pools, on the
time and date of the going out of
| the ice, and many of them are
known to be indulging in sleepless
nights owing to the queer pranks the
weather man has been playing lately.
when will the ice go out?" seems
to be the approved mode of greeting
/ in vogue at the present time, in
and around town, and has evoked
many witty reply.
A certain busy employee of the
store department of the Alaskan
Engineering commission, has been
pestered so often with this query.
that, to avoid the chewing match
that inevitably follows, has a card
about eight inches square with "a
reply to the query printed on it,
and this, with a beaming smile, is
handed to his questioner every time.
The legend on the card reads: "the
ice is no going out at ALL"

HOW TO GET INTO THE NAVY;
NEW PLAN OUTLINED

The selection of specially qualified
Colorado men for the United States
Navy under the new system of volun-
teer induction has begun at the Dem
yer Navy Recruiting Station, 1O1O,
18th Street. No more men Will be
enlisted directly, but those who show
themselves to be especially desirable
will be allowed TO apply and their ap-
plications forwarded to the Navy De-
partment at Washington, which may
ask the local board for the induction
of these men into the Navy. About
$500 men will be chosen under this
system each month from the entire
United States.
Colorado's monthly quota should be
about fifty men. All applicants must
be registered, must have received
their serial and order numbers, and
have been classified by their Local
Boards. No applicants will be ac-
cepted until they present their final
classification cards. The Navy phys
ical standards will be maintained more
strictly than ever before and no waiv-
ers will be requested for any defect
The following classes of men will
be considered only:
"a Men who are qualified for en-
trance into the Navy trade schools;
that is, they must have considerable
knowledge Of the trade for which they
wish to qualify before enlisting.
(2) Machinists and tradesmen
qualified for the aviation branches.
go Men qualified for entrance in
to the engineering officer material
school, Stevens Institute, Hoboken, n.
j. These men must be graduates of
college engineering courses.
Under this system no men will be
selected for the bottom ratings of
Apprentice Seaman or Fireman third
class. Such men will be selected by
the draft board by the system which
has hitherto obtained for the Army.
