About a dozen local dog fans met
in the Hank Building last Tuesday
evening, for the purpose of formulat
ing a program of races to be held in
the near future, and also lo discuss
the feasibility of entering a Nome
team in the Kastern International
Pog-lSed Derby to be held in Que
bec. Canada, next year, but owing
to the fact that many of the dog
team owners were unable to be pre
sent it was decided to adjourn and
call a meeting to take place tomor
row afternoon in the offices of Jas
J. Keenan in the Bank Building,
'and. there decide definitely w-hat ac
tioif should be taken regarding the
ber of dog races will be run here
before the snow leaves so all those
interested in this sport should makp
a special efforf to be present at this
important meeting.
If it is decided to send a team for
next year’s Quebes race a series of
elimination races will likely be held
here to determine the team which is
best fitted to represent Nome, and
you can rest assured they wall be
hotly con tested as many of our local
dog men have expressed a desire to
make the trip.
Loinen. President of the Chamber of
Commerce, was In communication
with the Secretary of the Eastern
International Dog Sled Derby Club
and received complete Information
covering this famous event, which
|he presented to the Kennel Club for
their consideration, and suggested
that if they and the Chamber of
Commerce unite In their efforts it
would be quite likely that the C.OV
jornment Railroad and the Alaska
Steamship Co. would be willing to
furnish free transportation to the
States for a Nome team and driver
making this trip, and as the Secre
tary of the International D. S. D.
elub in one of his letters stated
that "it would be possible to secure
free transportation of your driver
and dogs to Quebec.” the cost of
sending a team to compete in. this
race would he very small when ‘com
pared to the great benefit Nome
would receive through being adver
tised thruout the World.
This race is run at Quebec, Can
ada, on February 22nd, 23rd and
24th of each year over a course of
approximately 125 miles at the rate
of 40 miles, more or less, a day:
teams return to stables after each
day's distance Is covered. Each
team ts limited to seven dogs. The
| last race wa9 won by Jean I-ehel
! driver for the Brown Corporation
Quebec, whose team covered 53
miles the first day, 36 miles the sec
ond. and 42 miles the third, making
a total distance of 131 mites In IS
hours and 50 mlnntes which Is ar
average of 3.274 miles per hour
The team winning second prlxe aver

A comparison of the time made
by the winner In last year's nice at
Quebec, with that of our local teams
whose average for like distance is
about eleven miles per hour, indi
cates that a Nome team would be
very likely to carry off the honors
were it possible to secure the small
amount of backing necessary to
have a team represent our city.

j United States Fur Warden Frank
Dufresne and his trail assistant Fav

the week from an *4 day inspection

Fur Warden Dufresne reports that
there is an alarming scarcity in furs
this winter in Alaska, and he states
that it is not just an off year, in his
opinion, but that over-trapping is
having rh eeffect to exterminate the
Alaska fur-bearing animals. The
natives in the districts visited by
Dufresne and Delezene. according
to the former, are taking up pros
pecting to a limited extent, instead
iOi depending on Trapping, ana, suy»
Dufresne. “The natives have brought
in some nuggets thut are valued at
near six dollars from the Kobuk
river district, but they refuse to tell
the white man where they find the
nuggets.” Dufresne states that the
only redeeming feature the trappeTS
1 have to fall back on this year is the
big muskrat catch. In the Selawik
iand Kobuk section** it is reported
that the largest catch of rats will be
made this year that has ever been
made before in those sections.
A new coal strike on the Kobuk ia
reported by Dufresne. Leo Geffe
lias located a new coal strike 20
miles above Klana on the Kobuk,
and the mine is so located that coal
can be loaded directly from the mine
| to barges on the Kobuk river, the
vein runs along the side of the riv
er. This coal la said to be a high
grade bituminous coal, burns freely
with very little smoke. It Is report
ed that Leo GefTe, the owner of the
new strike, expects !o sell a quantity
of the coal at Kotzebue at $10 00
per ton, and according to informa
tion obtained by Dufresne. Candle
will purchase practically all the oat
that can be mined during the com
ing summer at $20.00 per ton, a sav
ing to Candle residents of $30.00 ner
ton as coal la now selling In Candle
at $50.00 per ton. shipped in from
the States.
Fur Warden Dufresne states that
Deputy Walrden J|ack Warwick,
whose headquarters Is at Plat, is
putting In a very busy winter en
forcing the fur regulations In that
district.
Dufresne will remain In Nome
nlv ’ong enough to make a report
to Washington of his recent trip,
and then he will make & trip up the
