LITTER TO THE EDITOR
Editor Caledonian-Record:

! read your article in regard o
keeping the main roads open for
travel north and south. east and
west, from St. Johnsbury. | should
be very much opposed to anything
of that kind at the expense of the
town. | don't think the taxpay-
ers should have to be taxed for
keeping roads omen in winter for
few that want to run cars. It
would not be the business mea
that would be benefited, but every
one that had car would be out
just for pleasure. | say, let those
that dance pay the fiddler.
Respectfully yours

1922 ICE POOL ESTABLISHES
 NEW MARK FOR BIG EVENT

All records for size have been beaten by the 1922 Nenana Ice Pool, which has assumed the proportions of a Territorial sporting classic, out shining anything of the kind ever attempted in the North. The pool was closed on Thursday night at midnight, with approximately e'o6o tickets sold in Nenana, Fairbanks and Anchorage, or about 2,000 more than were disposed of last year. Be tween 75 and so per cent of the guesses were made by the people of Nenana, the total number of tickets taken here being approXi- mately 5.40O. Fairbanks took 1850 chances, Anchorage about 500, the steam shovel camp at Mile 33l, abut 360, the Lyden roadhoose, al Healy, 200 and a few scattering in town and along the line. h town the Terminal sold 2,544 tickets, the Portland 1925, the Railroad Cigar Store 1,230, the Club 15s and scat tering, 250. ill.,.
 The listing of the tickets was talk en in hand today, under the direc- tion of the Ice Pool Committee. con- sisting of E. J. Cronin, A. St. J. McAuley, Harry Davis and M. J. Cooney, Up to noon today, the checkers had found about 100 tick cts marked for the ice to go out in April. One of the tickets probably a mistake, was marked April l, and there were three or four guesses that the ice would move as early as April fl. The real guessing be- gan about April 21 and increased in number as May was approached. One blank ticked was found and one was marked by Dudley Allen, of Juneau.
 As soon as the listing has been completed, the tickets and lists will be deposited in some safe, probably the safe of the Northern Commer- cial Company, and left there until the ice moves. The list will make it possible to ascertain the identity of the winner or winners without again going over the tickets. This procedure was followed last year and proved very satisfactory, =avinc time and insuring the maximum oi protection to guessers.
