to be the most popular one, the only
drawback being the finish. 1t Is thought

having the riders finish on the side Of

three-eighths Of a mile. Attractive
prizes will be hung up for all the

According TO the Alaska Miner, a

account of some things that happened
there: "A man tod me who had win.
tered up there seven years that it was Sc
cold in January that they froze the
flames of thar candles and sold them
for strawberries. He said they kept
their fires over night by putting them
out in the air and letting them freeze,
and nthawed them out in the morn
ing lie said/he had seen four men die
of collie from eating whisky that was
frozen so hard ii wouldn't thaw inside
of them. lie said the cows all gave ice
cream till they froZe TO death. He said
he knew a clerk in hotel on the Yukon
that got rich selling the diamonds he
wore, said diamonds being nothing on
earth but ice crystals that didn't thaw
till after the clerk had got out Of the
country. He said he had seen n man
fall off the roof of barn and freeze so
stiff before he lit that he broke in two
when he hit the ground. He said he had
seen smoke freeze in a chimney till the
fire wouldn't draw, and he knew of one
case where the smoke froze after il
got hundred feet up and fell back on
the house, knocking hole in the ROOT
big enough to drive a yoke Of steers
through. He said the reason that
nights were so long in that country
was that the dark got frozen SO hard
