Ice Holds Firm Ice in the rivers of the Interior, despite the wonderful weather pre- vailing at present and the lack of snow, is in approximately the same position as in former years. Old- timers say there is no reason to ex- pect an earlier breakup than usual, since the moving of the ice depends on thawing in the higher hills Construction of the Lathrop Building and the new Federal build- ing have added much to the ap- pearance of the city, but, Boyle found the most popular place in | 44 pages of instructions to the jury this afternoon before turning the case over to them.

The Auditor said a visit to the airfield at Anchorage demonstrates how the people of the North and West have become air-minded. Last Friday morning 59 planes were awaiting departure from the field They had been delayed by adverse weather conditions for several day but most of the miners and pros- pector passengers were able to get away Friday and Saturday.
