The victory of the Siberian
dogs in the recent Sweepsakes
has again revived the question
as to which is the animal best
fitted to endure the grueling con
test and the dog fans are arguing
the matter pro and con. Seppala
himself declares that the recent
contest was not a fair example
on which to base judgment as
he is of the opinion that had the
weather conditions been more
favorable his own team would
have lost. The weather was in
favor of the inside and against
the outside dog all the way
through, he states, and in his
view the lop ,ears would have
carried off the money had condi
tions been otherwise.
That the Ruby dog fans are
good sports and excellent fellows
is well attested by the following
telegram) received Saturday by
Leonard Seppala, following hi*
return as winner of the Sweep
stakes:

The latter sentence, according
to ^lr. SepjpaU is a "josh” incited
by .his statement on arrival at

The Porterville, Cal., Daily
Recorder of January 24, a copy
of which was received on the last
mail by Clias. Ecksein, contains
an extended account of the death
of Mr. J. H. James, a former
well known business man of
Nome and St. Michael The de
ceased was a suiferer from val
vular heart trouble for a consid
erable period before his demise.
Death occurred on the morning of
January 23 at his home in Porter
ville. Mr. James spent five sea
sons in Alaska, conducting stores
at Nome and St. Michael. Since
leaving Alaska he acquired ex
tensive property holdings in and
around Porterville and was one
of the leading spirits of that town.
So profound was the respect in
which he was held that the mer
chants of the city closed their
places of business on the day of
burial. He leaves a widow and a
son and daughter besides several
brothers and sisters.
Mr. James was prominent in
lodge circles and was a charter
member <-f the Masonic lodge in
Nome
There will be another ladies
race on Saturday next, according
to announcemnts given out to
day. The contest will be known
as the “merchants race” as the
prizes have been donated by the
leading merchants of the city.
The merchants have been gener
ous and there will probably T>e a
prize for every lady who enters
Among the mo,re valuable arc

other valuable and useful articles
They will be placed on exhibition
in the window of the Hill Phar
macy tomorrow. The entry list
will be open until noon Friday at
Rose’s candy store and all ladies
"are eligible. The race will be
over the Fort Davis course and
under Kennel club rules. The of*
ficials have not yet been selected
and will be announced later.
The Grand Duchess of Lux
embergfi, a four act comic opera
by Offenbach, will be given at
Eagle hall by the musical league
of Nome on the evening of May
6. The production will be undet
the auspices of the Nome. Kennel
Club and will be under the direc
tion of Mr. Henry Peterson. The
opera is one of the most inter
esting and amusing character
and has been a favorite for years.
The production has been undei
way for some months and the
various roles are filled with the
best of the local talent. There are
twelve principals and a large
chorus of selected voices- Among
the familar names on the pro
gram are those of Mrs Frank Po
let, Miss Baker, Dr. Sharpe, J
W. Rose, Fred Cowden and F.
M. Saxton. The chorus is com
posed of the youth and beauty of
Nome. Reserved seats will be on
sale at the Rose Candy store at

Paul Kjegsted finished his long
journey over the Sweepstakes
course about ten o’clock Satur
day evening and was greeted by
a large crowd which quickly
gathered when the loud tones of
the whistle of the lighting station
announced his arrival. Kjegsted
was in good condition as were
also the dogs, with the exception
of one which was carried in the
sled- The failure of Kjegsted to
attain a better place is attributed
to his having been compelled to
bear the brunt of the big storm
in the vicinity of Candle. In the
height of the blizzard he was un
able to make Candle and was
compelled to take rcluge in an
igloo where he remained all night
without food for his dogs. On
arriving at Candle he was unable
to procure beef, the usual diet of
his animals, and had to feed them
on dried salmon. Also the dogs
had to travel on this lean fish
diet back to Boston. According
to Seppala, Kjegsted's dogs stood

the grind much better than those
of the other entries as far as Gold
Run where they were caught by
the storm. He is also of the
opinion that had things broken a
little easier for the big fellow, he
would have landed inside the
money.
An interesting letter from Ur.
J. M. Sloan was received by
Mayor Diamond on the last mail.
Among other things, our former
townsman says that he likes his
new location (Seward) and.
thinks that there will be at least
three thousand people there with
in two years. There are no
empty houses there now and
rents are away up. He is also
convinced that some other place
between -Seward and Matanuska
will enjoy a boom but he could
not figure out just where it would
be but thinks it will be Seward
Regarding the chances of An
chorage, the doctor says that he
does not believe that the new
town will have any chance after
this year. Lots of people down
there are inclined to think that
the largest plaec in Alaska will
be at the Matanuska coal fields
Seward is described as in a flour
ishing condition. Naturally the
doctor refers to the new hospital
and says ft is very neat and
equipped to accommodate 30 pa
tients. Seward Igloo, Pioneers
of Alaska is booming, has over
one hundred members, owns its
own hall and has just purchased
a new piano. Preparations are
also being made to start a Ma
sonic lodge.
Mrs. Sloan and daughter are
reported well and the genial doc
tor sends his best regards to all
old friends in this “good old place
which I left with regrets.”
