DQG TEAM RACE MAY
BE PULLED OFF SOON
The accounts that have appeared in
different issues of The Times relative
to record runs made this winter over
the Anchorage-Seward trail are about
to bring results.
First came Captain Tom Neely,
claiming the record from Mile 40 to
Anchorage; then came Billy Greer
■with the statement, duly published,
that he beat Captain Tom by the nar
row margin of five minutes, and now
comes Captain Max Nelson, who de
poses and says taat he will take on
either one or both. Captain Max, does
not question the veracity of either oi
the other gentlemen but he does; issue
a sweeping challenge for a race. He
takes in considerable territory and
says, he will race from here to Nome
and will back his judgment to $1000.
It is beyond the question to even
consider the race to Nome but now is
the accepted time to make arrange
ments for a short race between Ideal
teams. Captain Neely and Billy Greer
each say they will go and Captain Nel
son is more than willing to try out his
team. Other local drivers have signi
fied a willingness to enter a short race
and it may be that the annual dog race
will yet be a certainty.
Any one interested in the sport may
see Jack Robarts or Oscar Anderson
who have the matter in hand.
PUBLIC LANDS COMMITTEE
MAY VISIT ANCHORAGE
E. M. Huff, the insurance and min
ing broker, is in receipt of a com
munication from one of his political
friends in Washington, D. C., to the
effect that the public land committee
was contemplating making a trip to'
Anchorage this summer and advised
with Mr. Huff as to the most auspici
ous month to make the trip. Mr. Huff
replied, saying that June would be the
most appropriate month to see An
chorage and vicinity but that the coun
try would bear inspection at all times.
The Chamber of Commerce will
later take the matter up and prepare
a schedule of entertainment for this
party of celebrities, who if favorably
impressed will do much towards ad
vancing the interests of Anchorage in
Washington.
OFFICIALS TAKE INITIATIVE
IN CLEANING THE SIDEWALKS
Hats off to the force who pass judg
ment at the city administration build
ing. It isn’t important how it started
but the end accomplished is commend
able and the pedestrians and shoppers
of Anchorage now have one continu
ous block of clean sidewalks, viz: from
E to F streets on the south side of
Fourth avenue. This remarkable feat
was only accomplished after arduous
work on the part of the entire force
who stripped down to the limit and
got on the long end of a No. 2. Nor
was it absolutely safe for people pass
ing at the time, for great hunks of
frozen snow flew thick and fast with
out any certainty where they might
land.
The Times would like very much to
be charitable and say that this snow
was removed as an example to other
property owners and that the city was
merely taking the lead, as it should
and does. But it came about in an en
tirely different manner and was the
direct result of the question of
strength that arose from an argument
pertaining to the glories attained by
the athletes of two state universities—
Idaho and Oregon. The mayor stood
pat on the enviable record of his alma
mater, while Powery was equally in
sistent that the “webfooters" were su
perior. Conversation waxed warm and
serious to the end that the mayor
made the proposition that he would
single-handed and alone uphold the
dignity of his school in any kind of tin
athletic event and would prefer to be
matched against an Oregonian. Pow
ery took up the gauntlet.
In the meanwhile bo'th Benedict and
Rogers, who were present, were care
fully feeling of their knotty forearms
and throwing out their chests waiting
to call attention to other records of
other fresh-water colleges and strain
ing to get in the game. It was for
tunate that a Times representative
happened along at the critical moment.
He was quick to see the dilated nos
trils, the heaving chests, and the do
or die expressions of the quartet of
warriors who had won honor and glory
for their alma maters on the muddy
gridiron, the dusty diamond, the cin
der path and clay court. After hear
ing the excited discussion, in which
comparison of records played a prom
inent part, he suggested a way to set
tle the question and at the same time
get rid of their exuberance of youth
and surplus energy that seemed to be
running to strength.
Accordingly these four Apollo-like
stars of other fields and other days,
each armed themselves with shovels
and picks and stripped for the contest.
They were alloted an equal number of
sidewalk feet on Fourth avenue, with
the mayor on the east end, then came
Rogers, then Benedict and then Pow
ery. At a given signal the frozen,
hard packed snow commenced to fly
fast and furious. It was a mistake
about the entire office force shedding
for the contest. Miss Gladys Hall
heW the stop watch and declared the
winner.
Who won? Why the people of An
chorage, for in this way the snow was
removed from the sidewalk in front of
the administration building.
