GASOLINE DOG
IH KLONDIKE
Dawson, Dec. 29—This city is
quite interested in the admit into
th\s neck of the woods of a "gaso
line do»," which has been mushing
over the roads near town and
through the city streets with all
the spee^ and uimbleness of a
team of Taciug huskies or Si-:
bevian hounds. The mushers simply
sits on his sleigh, turns a button to i
apply the juice, and away goes the
sleign uo the road like a streak.
The ordinary Yukon sleigh i3
used with handlo bars attached as J
usual for hopping off or on or for
lifting purposes. Instead of the 1
o.'; ge-epole for steering there is a
little bob 6leigh in front, steered by
the peet the samo as a coasting
bob Is guided. The motive power j
is out of the new gasoline single j
wheel motors made for attaching to
and di'iving the ordinary bicycle.
The single motor will drive the
light sleigh and one man well and
spceuily ou a smooth road, but two
motois are more satisfactory for
power. Some are building sleighs
with the customary 44-inch tread
o£ the freighting and passenger
sltigna of the realm, and will have
twr motors for driving purposes.
Stanley Gibson and Ed. Craw
for' brought out the first of the
"gasoline dogs," and surprised the
natives. Since then several others
hay.e ijut a few of the devices in
to commission, and others are
planning them. Klondike promises
to have many of the new vehicles,
and it may soon be as common a
thing to see the "gasoline dogs"
chasing along the highways as it
is to see dog teams now. How
ever, the new "dogs" mush only
where there are good roads, and
those great pioneers, the huskia
and the xnalamute, will continue
for a few moons to hold their place
at the top of the deck for mush
lug over distant stretches of nig
gcraeads and through unbroken
wilderness, where there are neither
gasoline caches nor repair shops.
