A telegram from Wiekersham this
| morning to the chamber of commerce
states that '.he rivers and harbors
: bill which carried the appropriation
I for the Snake river harbor failed of
j passage in the lust hours of the ses
I sion. lie stills signs himself "delo
i gate from Alaska."
The iilibutcring m the senate
against the armed neutrality mens- j
ures prevented action, apparently, on
the rivers and harbors bill and a
number of other important ucts. In
today's dispatches is the news that
an extraordinary session of congress j
is practically certain and it may be
'.ha' the rivers and harbor bill will
lie revised again and passed. This is
lit only chance that work on the
harbor will be begun next summer.
The judges of the Solomon Derby
had about dccoicd this afternoon to
hold the race tomorrow. This de
cision was reached after learning by
tel plion.. that the trail is in very fair
! condition. Judge Kjegsted came over
i iho trail yesterday from stolomon and
I pronounces it very good. A number!
j of other terms traversing it since will]
have broken it out guile a bit more.
Therefore if there an no unfavorable
developments ..long the course be
tween no v and tomorrow morning the
race will stall at 10 o'clock.
i co. tvi i a p. ssible misapprehen
sion it is announced that the start
will be made at Lane's way. Teams
wii leave at ten o'clock at ten min
] ute intervals m the following order:

Every few days it occurs that a
large number of telegraphic messages
an to he sent and many of them are
night messages owing to a misap
prehension, perhaps, these night mes
! .sages and some other dispatches are
! not put into the telegraph office until
nigl * comes and often till .almost the
[ • ost iv mute before closing This
1 causes a lot of hard work and longer
| hours to the operators here and along
the line as well Night messages can
lie passed in at the convenience of the
sender at any time during the day a an
they will be sent as night messages
when the operators have a slack hour.
Lost night a big batch of dispatches
were sent to our members of the leg
islature by the mayor, chamber of
commerce and school board showing
the need and nature of a school law
and the result was a rush that would
have been unnecessary if the mes
sages had been filed earlier Another
result was a deluy in receiving in
coming messages.
Tonight there will be two fine bil
liard games ut the Board of Trade
parlors. The first will be between
-McUuire, 125, and l.yle, 115, in B class
and will begin ut 8 o'clock An hour
later two old war horses will fight
it out. They are Ed Burroughs who
pluys 200 and Wallace Smith who is
down on the handicap sheet to make
275. This is a class A match and
both players are capable of excellent
performance on the green table with
the clicking ivories.
Tlie rumor that a coast guardsman
had been gone four days and had
possibly perished in the blizzard
proved to have no foundation. The
facts are that guardsman Wester
haven and Louis Swanson went out
for a spin on skiis a few days ago
and when they were ready to return
a blizzard came up and they did not
care to tackle it as there was no
urgency. Yesterday they were at
Chace's roadhouse but as the wires
were out of order could not send
word. They came to town tills after
noon.
An observer at the billiard game
last night in the Board of Trade
tournament said that Pierce made all
the brilliant shots and that Wells
scored all the billiards. This was not
wholly true but gives a good idea of
the nature of the contest. E. F. Wells
made his 300 points while Lee Peirce
was gathering ICO. Wells played his
accustomed game and gathered the
balls together and nursed them along
in a manner that showed in the score.
Often he would play an easy shot
in a difficult way for the purpose of
getting them together and that Is the
secret of his success His best runs
were 45, 26, 19, and his average In
62 Innings 4.84.
Pierce got repeated applause for
clever shots On one run he made
seven sucessive difficult billiards and
was applauded each time. He could
not get them together and make his
clever work show In the score. He
made 160 in 61 Innings and averaged
2.62.

ALASKAN DOGS
DO VARIED WORK
IN WAR ZONE
i _
—
i Henry Wood who is "with the
French armies in the Vosges” writes
I of the work of Alnskan dogs in part
us follows:
With the return of the heavy snow
in the V osges, Alaskun uog teams are
vying with the automobile drivers oi
me American ambulance and the
members ol the Norwegian Ked Cross
san corps (or the honor of bunging
me greatest number or wounded.
xne Alaskan sled uogs, gutnercd in
.ne most northwest territory of the
united States, constitute the latest
"war material" being supplied from
America to France.
Thu original number of sled dogs
brought to the Vosges from America
numbered about ioti. These have been
ured and multiplied so rapidly that
i-ranee now has at her disposal over
1.0U0 dogs, with all of the sleds and
material necessary for performing an
incredible amount of transport service
in the snow-clad altitudes £f the
Vosges.
It Is principally In the Vosgoes that
the members of the American ambu
lance have been assigned to duty.
Their light speedy cars not only
enable them to scale all the peaks on
which roads have been built, but even
to leave tho roads themselves In the
direction of the first line of trenches
for the purpose of picking up the
wounded.
In these Alpine regions, however,
there are hundreds of places which
even the light American cars, with
their absolutely fearless collegian
drivers, cannot reach, and it Is in
these districts that the Alaska dog
teams, and the Norwegian Red Cross
ikil corps come In for the bulk of the
, work.
The Alaska dog scrvico was thought
! out and organized by the French
army. Owing to the fact that tho
‘ Alaska dogs are nearly white, they
are practically invisible against the
snow and can approach within a com
paratively short distance of the Qor
mun linos for the purpose of picking
up the wounded without being tired
on. Seven dogs with one of the long
Alaska sleds and a single driver can
pick up a wounded man, lay him at
length on the sled and bring him back
to the dressing station with remarka
ble speed.
Ambulance work Is only a small
I portion of the duties assigned the
1 dogs. They carry munitions, food and
water to all parts of the line with the
I utmost ease.
Tin usefulness of the dogs does
I not ceane with the departure of the
snow in t.ie spring. They haul cars
on narrow guagv railway tracks.
K’even dogs drag a car carrying one
ton very easily and dash along with
the same rollicking boisterousness
with which they haul sleds.
The dogs ure kept In big kennels
each housing lf»0. Fifty stalls line
each side with a passage in the cen
ter. Water is kept running for thrir
use.

AT THE DREAM.
"The Mills of the lions" a photo
play with a thrilling finish in two
parts. The story is told in direct,
convincing fashion and the acting of
the principals have both charm and
personal magnetism. The plot and
ground work of the picture is laid
in Holland and it portrays many of the
rural types of that country. There
is an element of suspense capably
sustained and beautifully acted that
should meet the approval of all pic
ture lovers. Also a western one reeler
entitled "Bad Man Mason” and a Joy
ous comedy with the aggressive title,
"He Hikes Fighting. Tomororw night.
"The Blind Miracle,” a Hubln feature.
A big picture.
