Aft«r the boats stop running on
the Yukon river between White
horse and Dawson, there is always
a good deal of interest manifested
in Shagway aa to th# probable date
of the closing of the river by ice. If

closing this year may be a record
for lateness. The earliest closing
on. record was In 1899, when the
ice jammed oiv October 23. The
latest closing recorded was iu 1905,
when the cork was put in November
19. Most of the closings have been
between t.he firet and the twelfth of
November. The records are as fol
