SWEEPSTAKE RACERS
COMMENCE THEIR
LONG DASH
With halt of Nome at the starr
ing post and the other half anxi
ous to get there, the five entries
in the ninth annual All Alaska
Sweepstakes race to Candle and
return crossed the starting line
on their long, cold journey over
the barren wastes to Candle and
return, at nine this morning. As
the teams lined up at one minute
intervals before Queen Man and
her maids of honor, the eager
crowd rushed in to close quarters,
crowding and jostling the dog
and driver in their anxiety to see
the speedy animals which, for
three long days, will fiv over the
frozen trail until four hundred
miles will have passed beneath
their feet and they return once
more to the haven of rest at
Nome.
l or some reason, the crowd
failed to give vent to any demon
stration as the furry racer* sped
dut on their long journey. One en
thusiastic individualw shouted
loudly as Seppala shot forward
at the flag but aside from this
there was a -subdued atmosphere
and even the dogs were quiet, as
if they felt that it was, indeed, a
long, long way to Candle. Ayer
was the first to face the line and
after the usual checking and
marking at the hands of the bust
ling officials, the olive flag in the
hands of Queen Mary trembled in
the air for a moment and then fell.
The great race was on. Ayer
failed to see the flag and started
slow but, at the word, the tremb
ing dogs leaped forward and
sped down the street at a dizzy
pace, the eager animals fairly tear
ing unp the brittle snow.
Ayer was scarcely more than
passed from vision before Seppala
with his handsome Siberians came
tip and a minute later he too had
flashed across the tape Bobby
Brown, as lean and well trained in
appearance as his rangy animals
followed, Delzene, with a half
dozen men hanging on the tow
lines to restrain the eager rushes
of the racers, came up and. amidst
the usual hearty chorus of “Good
byes' followed the others. Last
came the browned and bearded
Norseman, Kjedsted, with his
stocky animals. A few moments
at the line and he too was gone.
All made excellent time down
the coast.
Ayer arrived at Cape Nome, 13
miles away, at 10:21. At 11:09
he reached Safety and Solomon
at 12:30. His time was n min
utes ahead of that made by Allan
last year. Brown arrived at Sol
omon at the same time as Ayer,
making the distance in 3:30. Sep
pala was next in 3:35- Delzene
took 3 :qo to make the 36 mile run
and Kjegsted 3:55- Ayer stopped
four minutes at the cape and Kjeg
sted pulled up for nine minutes at
Safety. Weather reports from
along the trial indicate a fair trail
all the way to Candle. Along the
coast the weather is slightly low
ering but there is little hint of a
storm. At Council it is reported
windy but with brilliant sunshine.
Reports from along the route ear
ly said that Ayer had one dog in
the sled and four loose. It is also
reported that the dog carried was
injured by striking a horse team
before he was well out of Nome.
Four of the racers have reached
Timber as we go to press; Aver
arriving at 3:31, Brown second at
3:35- Delzene third at 3:37 and
Seppala at 3:38. Ayer’s time up
to this point is 6:36. All are long
behind the time made last year
up to this point. Seppala having
made the run in 5:05 in the 1915
race
Later—Kjegsted arrived at
4:I3

Gill COUNCIL
CONDUCTS SOOI INI
i'he city dads were on hand in
full strength when Mayor Dia
mond called the weekly meeting
of the council to order last night.
I'he minutes were read and ap
proved after a minor correction
was noted by Councilman Blake.
There were no communications
and there Was but one report on
the #part of a city officer. This
was offered by City Physician Dr.
Mustard who stated that there
was one city patient in the hos
pital under his care. Claims and
accounts against the city amount
ing to $378, and including the
month!} account of the snow re
moval contract were read by the
clerk and, on motion of Thomp
son, it was1 ordered that the snow
contractor be paid. The rest were
referred to the usual processes.
City Attorney Hobbes called
the attention of the council i > the
snow contract, which terminates
April 15, stating that lie believed
it contained a clause requiring the
council to give advance notice in
the event a continuance was de
sired- The clerk hunted up that
document and reading disclosed
that the city was required to give
notice not later than April 14 if
further services were desired. The
point being made clear, Council
man Burgh moved that the time
of the contract he extended to
May 1. Councilman Ross ob
jected, stating that in his view
the advisibility of extending the
contract depended on the weather
and if it remained as at present, a
continuation was not necessary.
Burgh replied that there was
ever} prospect that the services
of the contractor would be needed
4. swing to the great amount of
snow on some of the streets and
also because of the fact that con
siderable snow was being thrown
into the streets from the roofs of
business houses and dwellings.
Councilman Blake also offered
his endorsement of the motion to
continue the contract until the
first, as he believed some of the
hack streets would be impassable
when the heavy thaws started and
it were better to have some one
on the job. The matter was then
put to vote and decided in favor of
extending the contract.
Bills passed by the finance com
mittee in the sum 0^659.38 were
read by the clerk and ordered paid
on motion of Councilman Leh
mann.
The council then canvassed the
votes of the recent election. The
report of the election board dis
closed that a total, of 1,100 ballots
were unusued 934 were cast of
which nine were spoiled and one
destroyed, leaving the number oi
votes counted 924. The canvass
concluded Councilman Blake of
fered a resolution declaring the
designated candidates elected;
which was passed Burgh then
moved that the election board be
paid and at the same time sug
-ted that in as much as they
had worked twenty five or six
hour's, they be granted the pay
of the election board plus the sum
usually paid to the school election
board, making $25 in all to each
official. Blake offered an amend
ment making the amount $20. The
motion was seconded but was lost
on vote. The president then put
the original motion, which was
carried, all voting aye The mayoi
then declared a motion to adjourr
in order and looked at Thompson
Somebody remarked in an audi
ble tone: “Go on Charlie.” Bui
Charlie only got started before
Lehmann sonorously offered the
motion and the council retired.
