NENANA ICE POOL
 REACHES HIGHEST PEAK

Last minute dispatches from Ne mana last night reported a total of $80.O00 had been placed on the lee breakup for this year, topping the pool total by many thousands of dol lars.
 Cold winds and low temperatures halted the thawing of the Nenana river during the past 10 days and 28 inches of ice stands solid in the river bed. Last year the ice was A inches thick and the ice broke at 12:5S D. m. April 30.
 Tradition has it that an early Easter brings an early breakup of the Nenana and many guesses have estimated the breakup for April.
 The general consensus of opinion has been changing during the past few days from an early breakup to late one, many setting the date sometime during the first week in May.
