chairman of the. Dog Derby . Comm
ittee has announced thaL he has
chosen Leonard Seppala and Jack
Mutchler. to assist . on.: this com
mittee. .
He submitted a report'inthe Ex
ecutive Committee for approval,, the
substance of which follows:.
They recommended that the 80
mile course . over the . Richardson
Highway to SaLdut Bridge and-., re
turn as originally outlined .be can*
firmed. The race to start from, in
front of the Federal Building- at 8
a. m. on March 10th with the team
drawing first ^place.^. Other., teams,
will leave at five mipute intervals
thereafter until all : entries have
started.:..
Any team not tready to >start on
;the minute schedued for it, .mill be
placed at the foot of the list, losing
its place .to. the team following.
The race will end at the Alaska
Road Commission arch njust, beyond !
gtie tfttsfeiBKri* **«*'«««* <» the
Bihsw-iy. Progress of the various
teams win /be telephoned to town
Cross several points on the highway
nd thi? news anil be posted at Car
nival Headquarters in the Moose
Hall and at various other public
places in town.
Drawing foe place will be had on
March 5tfc». at & p, m. (placje to
be designated later) when teams
will be. entered and given starting

'Rales heretofore in force will
probably govern this race.
The Carnival Committee as a
whole are very much concerned
about the lack of donations in ex
change for on the new
Plymouth Automobile which will be
awarded to te holder of the lucky
number during the Carnival. It ii
from this source that the money is
to. be had. to make up the dog derby
prizes. The sum of $1,750 will be
awarded to the three winning teams
this year..
It takes dollars and lots of them
to finance dog races and carnivals
and. bear in mind that every dollar
received goes into the pot. Not
one penny of it goes to committee
members and officers.
