WHY NOT HAVE A
MOTOR RACE

Probably there is no place in the
country OF its size with more motor
boats than Fairbanks And. of course.
they must all be built for power
and speed, not merely To satisfy their
owners fancy, but even more be
cause of the currents they must
buck on these swift mountain riv-
ers. II they are TO make Roadway
against the current at all. they must
have engines powerful enough to tear
any ordinary craft II pieces As a
consequence almost new type of
motOrboat has come into use in
this section, as general rule the
most satisfactorily be built To-
cally. Cinema likewise has an unus-
nal number of speedy and powerful
boats for town of its size. And as
these boats from the two towns come
and go on the river there inevitably
springs up good-natured but in
tense rivalry between owners of the
different boats. Everyone knows he
has the fastest boat ever built If"
and some know they have the fast
est without the If" Ii you want to
see just what the stereotyped fine
scorn" looks like. just suggest to
Martin Harrais. or Belden. or Char
ley Thompson, or Foley and Adams
that possibly somebody else's boat
is as fast as his.
Why not take day Off, pull of
our coats, and settle il? A public
race over an eight or ten mile
course and return would settle it,
and give the public fine sight be
sides II might also settle some me
chanical problems of value to those
building boats i'll the future
The short summer is rapidly draw
ing TO its close with all too few
reCreatiOns before the long winter
indoors, and a day-off for a boat
race, with special train service to
suit, would not only add to the
spice of life for the racers them
selves, but would do us all good.
Such an event ought to be easily
gotten up and might grow into a
permanent annual contest, with all
the benefits of such contests.
Isn't somebody game enough to
cali the others by such race?
And haven't all of us sporting blood
and public spirit enough to make il
a go?
