AT THE HOTELS.

Just about this time Alaska is having
a great Derby at Nome, said Harry S,
Williams. of that city. at the National
yesterday
"one Of the most picturesque races in
the world is The An Alaska Sweep
stakes, which takes place the first day
OF April every year and is now an es-
tablshed institution, being run under the
management Of the Nome Kennel Club.
The course is Az miles in length. and
dogs, not horses, are used to cover the
distance. Indeed, the dog is the only
creature that could negotiate such a
course, for it is nothing but a dreary
waste Of snow and ice. The race starts
at Nome. on the Seward Peninsula, In
far Northern Alaska From here the
track runs to Candle, another mining
settlement, and from there back to the
Boring Sea and thence TO Nome.
How this Derby came into existencs
Is an interesting story continued Mr..
Williams. who is interested in mining in
the Far North. mo sooner had man
penetrated into this inhospitable region
than he recognized the value OF dogs
for rapid transit from one place 70 an
other Dawson City was not I'VE years
old before there were no fewer than
5000 dogs regularly employed by carriers.
miners. and others in and around this
single city. Both the United States and
Canadian governments took dogs into
their service FOR carrying the mails. aud
to this day they are stiIl employed at
this work
From Dawson City weekly service
is maintained throughout the winter
with the various towns on the Yukon
River and also with Nome, over / 800
miles away. across frozen. barren and
desolate country. II is the longest. cold
est. ana most desolate and dangerous
post route in the world. With so MANY
dogs in the country it was not long be
fore the miners introduced the snort Of
dOg-team racing. Clubs were formed, and
the crack teams Of these institutions
pitted against one another. These early
races were never long affairs. Usually
from one settlement 10 another and
back. a journey occupying perhaps five
or six hours. Then came longer dis
tances. in which the races took the
greater part of a day. During the long
winter months all the talk IN the mining
camps was concerning the dogs and what
they could accomplish Thousands Of dol
lars were wagered on this or that team.
It was the one sport in which the miner
could indulge in this cold and desolate
land.
Finally" added Mr.. Williams. THE
leading spirits of the Nome Kennel Club
decided TO organize a long-distance race
70 show the world what the dogs could
actually accomplish At first It was sug-
gested that they should race all the way
to Dawson City, that being the longest
trail in this remarkable country. Many
objections. however. were raised 10 This
proposition. and at last the Nome-Candle-
Nome trail was decided upon"

UNIQUE Method to Avoid Being Sold

The most unique way of-avoiding be-
ing shipped that has ever been known
here was invented by an OK Monday
afternoon. The OK was among some
oxen sold bv Mr.. R. z. WRIGHT. sssho
was going to ship them away or the
train Monday. The oxen were out in
the pasture grazing, and one Of them
was very hard to catch, but was finally
caught after it had been chased q mile
or two.
All the oxen were then driven to the
depot, but, when within few feet of
the car, on which they were to be load
ed, this OK laid down and has not stood
up since. He laid at the depot all
Monday afternoon and night, and yes
terday afternoon was placed Oh boards
and swung under timber cart and car
ried to Mr.. R. T. Wright's mill. This
morning he appeared to be swollen
somewhat, but still in use of all his
Limbs, and hen someone would attempt
to hit him he would jump in an effort
to get up.
He is a large OK and is one of the best
owned by MIR. Wright.

Meeting Thursday Night.

When the commercial importance OF
Cambridge is taken into consideration,
| tiseems surprising that there has not
been an active Board of Trade organ
izAd long before this time. The hene
tidlal results that might have been
&C hieved are beyond calculation, for
ul!on several occasions there have been
Opportunities to secure factories and
OF her enterprises that would have con
triibuted substantially to the welfare
of this city. But all Of this Is now an
cent history We now have live
Beard of Trade with mem hership of
nearly one hundred and fifty, represent
ing majority Of the business interests
of the city. There seems to be a deter
mined spirit to advance the interests Of
Cambridge, and the results that can he
accomplished are SO numerous that it
seems useless to attempt to mention
them.
Thursday night there will he public
meeting at the Auditorium, with Gov
erEor CrOthers and Dr. Marshall L.
Price as the speakers of the occasion.
rh;e object of the meeting is to get our
people thoroughly aroused to the bene
fits, which are open to them, to increase
the feeling of civic pride which is felt
by every good citizen and to develop
this feeling of pride into active work
for the advancement of the best inter.
ests of our city
President John e. Mills, of the Board
of Trade, will preside at the meeting.
The Citizens Band will furnish the mu-
sic. The event will be great one, and
every citizen who feels an interest in
Cambridge should make special effort
to be present and by such presence lend
their active aid to the movement. We
want bigger, better, more progressive
more prosperous Cambridge, and the
way to get it is to support the different
movements that promise such results.
The Board of Trade wants the help and
support of every citizen of Cambridge,
and from the amount of enthusiasm
shown at this time it is assured of such
help and support.

R. R. Green, Familiarity known as Bob
Green, one of the old time miners of
Goldfeld, mel with a serious accident
at National on the sixteenth of last
month. Green left Goldfeld for the
northern camp about two months ago
and secured employment on the Stall
brothers lease as a timberman. While
working in a shaft with the Stall boys
a plank on which the three men were
standing broke, and they fell fifty
seven feet to the bottom of the shaft.
The three men were all severely in
iured. Green had two ribs broken and
was injured about the heart; the Stall
brothers were not so badly hurt. The
latter were removed to California, but
Green was kept in the camp as his In
,juries would not permit his removal.
Mrs. Green and the two children are
here in Goldfeld, but have been unable
to learn anything of the condition OF

HEAVY STORM
HIT G0LDF|ELD

Goldfeld Thursday was visited by
one of the worst storms that have come
this way in years. For hours there was
a remarkable downpour of rain with
thunder, lightning and hail to accen-
tuate the strength of the storm. TIT
hail stones at times were as large as
bird eggs and to those who were un'
derneath fiimsy roofs it seemed as il
the top was coming in.
The downpour of rain was practical
ly a cloud burst, and the water ac'
cumulated in such volume in the can
vons to the south that in coming down
through town considerable ran over the
cutters and into a number of base
ments and cellars. The swing arouno
the Cook Bank corner was so strong
that about three inches of water was
driven into the Bank saloon. However
little damage was done and everyone
welcomed every drop.
A remarkable feature of the storm
was that it failed to wash out any
norton of either the Tonopah ant
Underwater or the Las Vegas and Iono
pah railroads, both of which roads hav'
been heavy sufferers from heavy storms
in the past.
