DOG TEAMS RACED 4so MILES.
Winners of Novel Event in Alaska
Ran Five Days.

Nome, Alaska.-Despite blizzard
that greatly delayed the contestants,
the fastest time ever made by dog
teams In Alaska has been recorded in
an endurance contest just ended. The
winning team ran over the snow be-
tween Nome and Candle and return,
distance of 430 miles, in four days
and % hours and Is minutes
The drivers of the first three teams
We're carrying at least one dog each,
and all had others barely able to fol
low the sled. Had the race been ten
miles further the winner could not
have made the distance.
Nome was dog mad throughout the
race. Long distance telephone kept
the public informed as to the progress
OF each team, and nearly every one
here remained up all night to watch
the bulletins and bet on the result
There were as many persons out to
see the first man in at two o'clock in
the morning as there had been to
witness the start Of the race at ten
: o'clock of the morning five days pre-.
yious.
Men, women and children seemed
equally interested. The school closed
the day of the start. Men stayed at the
+, bulletin boards, and had their meals
brought to them, and kept their fam.
lilies supplied with information by tele
phone.
| The sleds used were all especially
made and as light as skill could make
them. 1t was go-asyou-please
race and each driver was required tc
drive at least five dogs and not more
than nine.

CURRENT DOESN'ORK
FORMER RAILROAD OFFICIAL
FARMS WITH ELECTRICITY.
Thomas w. Lee of Idaho Falls, N. Y,
Has Large Tract Strung with
Wires to Furnish Power
for Machinery.

NoW lork-l nOmaS w. Lee, unlll
about two years ago general passenger
agent of the Delaware, Lackawanna
& Western railroad with headquarters
in New York, is the first man in the
world to farm by electricity Mr.. Lee
owns the Bungalow, a tract of more
than 1000 acres in the vicinity of
Idaho Falls. All that he has to do now
when he wishes to farm is to push
button. Electricity does the rest.
The ground in the Bungalow was
broken for cultivation two years ago.
The first season it returned a profit
on grain. 1t is fenced, has fine build
ings. machinery and stock and is man.
necessary as breath.
One year ago Mr.. Lee utilized steam.
but that proved too slow and too ex-
pensive. This year tie grain of the
Bungalow will be reaped, stacked,
threshed, sacked and made ready for
market by electricity.
Mr.. Lee is now haying by electricity.
A simple wheeled contrivance contain
ing heavy coil Of wire is taken to the
desired position. Motor and machinery
are set, and in a few minutes the
pleasant, steady hum of machinery is
heard. This power is transmitted
about IL miles. The feed wire on the
ranch Is fitted with plugs and the juice
is ready for coil and motor wherever
1t may be located.
Mr.. Lee installed private telephone
and electric wires These wires.
erected at his own expense, are
stretched two miles from the main
line of the power company. These
poles carry three wires, which are
used for both power and lighting pur-
poses.
Water is pumped, grindstones are
turned. saws, corn shelters, root cut
tiers. hay forks, hay cutters, cider
mills, grist mills, ensilage cutters, &C.
ment mixers, churns and separators
are all run by electricity. A 25-horse-
power electric motor accomplishes all
these things.
The Bungalow is wired from corner
to corner. Miles Of poles and cables,
motors. revolving drums and the most
up-to-date farming machinery that
money can buy constitute the equip
ment
This season the entire crop of the
Bungalow aggregating 1000 tons of
hay. alfalfa and clover, 10000 bushels
of grain and potatoes and other prod
ucts will be placed on tracks and with
cable reels be handled with greater
facility than it could ever be handled
with human hands.
The cost of steam, with the coal
and labor, was much greater than that
Of electricity. During the threshing
season labor alone costs $50 day for
25 days. Mr.. Lee figures that the in.
stallation Of electricity means a saw
ing for the first year of $4,000 ON first
cost, and thereafter the cost of oper
!, ating will be about one-fourth the for
, mer figures. During the threshing sea
son the cost with the electric current
. will be only $500, as against $1,6O(
: with steam.
Aside from the saving, Mr. Lee says
i. the power Is reliable, constant and
2 doesn't go on strike; the danger of fire
, Is eliminated and the satisfaction
a constitutes not the smallest feature.
