The tug of war, which started

fought and strained to win the
prize, which finally went to Mark
Gleason’s team of husky miners.
The Fort l.iscum boys started
by pulling the rope over their
'side for a gain of between four
and five inches, but slowly and
surely the big Valdez team re
gained the lost rope and inch by

For 75 minutes they fought,
chetered by the crowd of specta
