Freight Trains Leave Iditarod and Flat at

Contracts Made in Advance for Mid-Winter
Freight Hauling
Last Saturday evening a number of citizens interested in dog
racing met in the parlor of the Budweiser bar to discuss the forma
tion of a kennel club.
After the meeting had been called to order, E. Coke Hill out
lined a scheme for encouraging the sport of dog racing, which has
met with such signal success in the Seward peninsula. He pro
posed that a kennel club should be formed for the purpose of or
ganizing races at regular intervals; said races to be for short dis
tances and small purses to commence with, until it could be ascer
tained who's who in the Iditarod dog world. Mr. Hill said that
since he had been in this section he had been looking at the dogs,
and was greatly surprised at the quality of many of them He
believed that the holding of regular races would prove that there
was much first-class material here, lie was sure that once a racing
club were organized it would speedily gain in popularity until the
whole district became interested. Eventually it might be possible
to hold a big race, but the smaller races are the ones that hold the
public interest, as they are more frequent.
Following upon Mr. Coke Hill’s remarks, it was decided to or
ganize a kennel club upon the lines mentioned, and the entrance fee
having been fixed at §5, the enrolment of members began. Withiu
a few minutes there were 16 members, with $s0 in the treasury.
Jos. II. Smith was elected treasurer.
Following is the first list of members: E Coke Hill, Capt. A.
H. Petersen, Jos. H. Smith, .Tack Baird, Walter Hunsaker, Casper
Ellinger, Ray Brumbaugh, Geo. Marsh, Harry Jones, W. H. Hop
kins, Eddie McArdle, Herbert Riley Charles Knell, P. H. Griffin,
A. M. Elliot and G. M- Arbuckle.
Several others have notified their intention of joining the club
and they and all others interested in dog-racing are invited to be
present at the meeting to be held to-night (Saturday), at S p.m.,
in the Budweiser parlor.

If the A. B. dances continue to advance in popularity, the
powers that be will be compelled to consider plans for enlarging
the hall. At least that was the impression gained by the casual
observer at last fuesday's dance. Perhaps the fact that it was
Hallowe’en led several to attend; but that could hardly account for
tHe record number present. More probable it is that the success
of earlier dances had been bruited abroad; and not everyone cares
to be left in outer darkness while there is a chance to engage in
the dizzy waltz under the bright lights and accompanied by sweet
music.
Then it was a good idea to run that special excursion from the
creeks. Quite a large number of ladies availed themselves of
the opportunity presented to visit Iditarod; and if they experi
enced one half the pleasure in the dance that the people of Iditarod
felt in extending a welcome, they must have returned to their
homes in a very happy frame of mind.
To many the evening was all too short; and when the hour of
parting arrived a strong demand went up for “just one more
hour.*’ But the committee remained firm : a three hour dance is
forsooth, a dance lasting but three hours, and no more. So the
merry throng unwillingly dispersed, promising themselves to meet
again next Tuesday.
The following ladies came in especially for the dance:
From Flat: Mines. Snyder, Suter, McDowell, Arndt, Burns
and Lowrie, the Misses Roscoe and Miss Taylor.
I rom Otter: Mines. Bain, Shonbeck, Johnson, Campbell and
Lang.
The music was supplied by the Maher-Kemp orchestra
THAT “BEAUTIFUL SNOW”
A PARODY BY WM. DEVERE
“Oh the snow, that beautiful snow,”
That flies in your face wherever you go.
That's twitted and whirled :n some “dizzy” old street
Till it blinds your poor eyes, and freezes your feet.
It’s all very fine, that beautiful snow,
If you've cash in your pocket and somewhere to go:
But the poet was horn in summer, I know,
That finds something pretty in “beautiful snow.”
Beautiful is it? Humph! Beautiful snow,
When it falls on a sinner, nowhere to go.
It seems to me, now—(I’m a ora tti ail man,
I'm no love-sick damsel or innocent lamb,
Therefore I can't be expected, you know.
To stand on my head about ‘•beautiful snow”) —
It seems to me, now. that this sucker should go
And bury himself in his beautiful snow.
Beautiful, is it, eh?—beautiful snow,
The thermometer just ten degrees below.
Your overcoat "hocked,” not a cent in your “kick,”
And beautiful snow till you can't see a brick
In the sidewalks, around in some “tart” country town.
And that beautiful snow is still coming down.
Why, if I had a room with a fire all aglow
I could envy the "crank” who wrote “Beautiful Snow.”
“Beautiful snow from the heaven above.
Pure as an angel, gentle as love.”
I wish they would keep it in heaven—not throw
So much down on earth of that beautiful snow.
Gentle as love? how can they say so?
See how it sticks—it never will go.
March, April and May may come and may go.
And still we’ll be blessed with d-d “beautiful snow."
