EXCITING LADIES DOD
RACE AT ANCHORAGE
Tlie Weekly Alaskan contains
a highly interesting account of a
ladies’ dog race run at Anchorage
on St- Valentine’s day. The affair
was under the auspices of the An
chorage Kennel Club and the
course was from the telegraph of
fice building to Bud Whitney’s
ranch and return. Three ladies
were to start, but for some rea
son Miss Ashton failed to re
spond as driver of the Neeley
team. In the crowd for the pur
pose of taking photographs was
Miss Jan V. Pichettc. who in or
der to avert the disapointment of
ihe ' assemblage, volunt ('red to
drive the team, although she was
not prepared for such an under
taking and had never driven a
clog team in her life before. She
had never even been over that
trail, and didn’t know whether
she was coming or going.
"By the time the litt'* lady
took charge of the dogs til" two
r (her contestants—Mrs. Dixon
and Mrs. Jones—were hurrying
up down the hill toward Whit
ney’s ranch,” says the Pioneer.
“Of course Miss Pichette was
‘The Girl They Left Behind,’ but
after she got goin’ the snow look
ed like dust and the enthusiasm
was at white heat. When the
dogs, sled and Miss Pichette
went down C street they took a
tumble, and made a mix not soon
forgotten. The clever little new
comer to the dog team game
showed her pluck and ability j
then and there, for she got up,
kicked off a loose skirt, and flew,
after the leaders like a torpedo j
after a ship. She gained at every
jump of the animals, and would
no doubt have won easily had
she possessed the dog knowledge
of the other two ladies and had
fewer accidents When near
Whitney’s ranch she met the dogs
driven by Mrs. Jones returning
driverless and Mrs. Jons not in
sight. She helped to ‘head ’em
oft,’ then proceeded to qualify at
the turning point, where Mrs.
Dixon had just preceded her by a
small margin.
“After starting back for the
‘home plate,’ Miss Pichette pro
ceeded to do some more flying,
and passed the veteran dog
feam driver, Mrs. Dixon, on the
way back, thus securing second!
prize, Mrs. Marvella Jones being
first with the Mathison-Jensen
team of ‘bird’ dogs, who should
have been disqualified for flying.
“Miss Pichette, however, wav j
easily the star attraction of the
•ft.”
In another part of the Pioneer
appeared the following:
“MISS PICHETTE CHAL
LENGES MRS CASEY
JONES TO RACE.
"1 hereby challenge Mrs. Casey
Jones to a dog-team race lor aj
purse of $100 a side, same dogs!
and conditions to govern said
race, but the route to be to Eagle I
river and return Time of race!
can be arranged to suit.

TOBACCO SAID TO THRIVE
IN THE KANTISHNA
It has often been said that no
one as yet has realized the won
derful opportunities offeied in
t very line in the territory of Al
aska. This has been truthfully
said, for the latest surprise to be
furnished is growing of tobacco
in tne Kantishna. Tobacco has
been raised before in the interior,
but it was considered a joke. To
the people of Kantishna the rais
ing of tobacco is no joke.
Pete Anderson and Ollie Hjel
vig have brought down from the
Kantishna some of the seed from
the tobacco grown there, and
(icorge Bellows, proprietor of
ihe Bijou is going to ship some
of the tobacco and some of the
seed to the states.
The residents of the Kantishna
district have matured the tobacco
and it is now in general use
I around Glacier city. It is used
I noth as a pipe tobacco and for
cigars. The plant grows to a
lieighth of five or six feet and is
a hardy one.
A piece of ground on the flats
’ near Glacier city, not far from
the Hear l’aw river, was cleared
if birch and. for an experiment,
i in the sense of a josh, some one
i-.iggi sted that tobacco be grown
.Vi. Anderson and Mr. Hjelvig
took it seriously and the result
i is that today the residents of the
mtishna are commen t.ng on
the '•xcellet r flavor of tl tobaccn
| that was ’rosed on tins' birch
I flats.
The first year the tobacco did
. not amount to much. Tin second
ear, ihe plants were .-tinted m
the house, under glass, and were
later transplanted just the same,
as are cabbage plants raised
around Fairbanks. The result
'as been extraordinary, to say |
the least. Old gardeners who are 1
located on the Kantishna, men
who have had experience in to- i
bacco raising, stated last fall that I
the soil has just the proper in-«
gredients for the raising of to -j
bacco, and that there is no reason
why excellent tobacco could not !
be raised there.
At any rate, anyone who has
lived in the Kantishna, near Gla
cier city, will assure any one who
doubts that this story is a true
one, that it is in no sense of the i
word ‘‘a pipe dream,” but ic
founded on Fct and is the truth.
