AUTOMOBILE RACE
 ADvERT|SES ALASKA
New York Times Accounts
 Give Lengthy Descrip- ~ tions of Territory.

Copies of the New York Times re- ceived in Valdez give great deal of space to the automobile race, show | ing that when d great newspaper | undertakes an advertising stunt it sets an example for other people. The Times, incidently, in describing the route which the cars will take of the Alaska towns which will be | passed in the race.
 This description of the rout" is un- doubt"dly the work of John (. Klein, who was in Valdez in January to ar range for the start tO the interior. Mir. Klein is an old Alaskan, having visited or lived in nearly every settled portion of the territory, and he is a trained metropolitan newspaper man, so that he was able 10 write an article effective in style and accurate in facts. His description of Alaska from Valdez to Nome tells the pro- vincial New Yorker more than that st"lid person ever dreamed of the territory.
 When the six auto cars started from Times square, New York, at ll:15 in the forenoon of February l2 the street was packed with people. The Times thus describes the start:
 Description Of Cars
 "ParkeG in the #pace reserved for the racers was the BiZairc- Naudin tn" baby of the racers, a machine of only twelve horse power, but whose French builders hope will bc in at the finish.
 Next to this pigmy Tested the 30 horse power MotO-Bloc, also French entry. Then came the Thomas, Amcrica's champion, with 10 horse power. Next in line was the prutos, Germany's 10 horse power entry. Thc De Dion, French, and 10 horse power, was ifh in line, tho Italian Xust, of 2I, being last.
 "A thrOng of O,0OO persons jammcd into the sqnarc and in the streets lead ing thereto saw the departure and chccred it enthusiastically BclWucn continuous lines of flag g-waVing and vOcifcrating holidaymakcrs, wh O crowded both sides of Broadway for the eight miles above Times square to 2OOth strcet-15O, GOO people perhaps the racers and their escort of more than POO automobiles proceeded on the first stage of their journey.
 Bet on Result
 Rex. F.. Beach, the Alaska writer, bet 5000 with Frederick w. Thomp- son, a theatrical manager, that the cars will never go through Alaska. On the other hand Col. Swanitz of tho Valdez x Yukon railroad told the Times:
 "ThcrC is not the slightest doubt that an automobile can go over that trail in favorable seasons. There are stretches where the ascent will be steep and difficult, where it would be necessary Co invoke auxiliary power, and there are places where the trail ls very narrow for an automobilr to travel, but it can be done without a doubt. At any time between the first of February and the middle, of April all automobile ought tO make very good time over the trail. Then the conditions for travel would be excellent and exactly suited for auto mobile travel. After that time the difficulty increases and tho trail be- comes at length to all intcnta and pur- in,yuuynll,

Saskatchewa River, and that, when the
animal sprang into the river he jump

While trying to reload and row at

the location with a fallen tree on the
shore nearby. he seized both oars and

When he reached it he made . q slip

the current and the frenzied animal.
Having no knife, he attempted to I'M

water soaked and his trembling fingers
could do nothing with 1t.
The cry of the falls came nearer and
nearer and the bOatman had given him

struck bottom.
After some stumbling the beast
braced himself and walked to q little

Of the river ten feet from the edge Of

over the falls, the stern projecting over
