GREAT DOG RACERS
OF FROZEN NORTH

DAWSON. Alaska, December 90
Two hundred competing teams finish
cd yesterday the greatest six day dog
team race ever held since the discOv-
cry of the Klondike. Down the river
IRON New Gold came the teams, fore
ing their way through huge piles Of
snow. In all the racers covered one
hundred and thirty miles, travelling
right and day without stop save for
a bite of food.
The weather was wicked. At the
start the temperatures recorded were
Tar below the zero mark, and as the
race wore on the thermometers
dropped until for hours before close
OF the race they recorded forty de-
grees below.
Never were greater hardships en-
dured by racers than those supported
end defied by the contestants in this
race. The ground was like iron, and
the snow ridges cut like knives. Soon
TIE feet of the racers were bleeding.
Many of the contestants finished the
last thirty miles with the blood from
their feet marking the trail.

NEW WOOL BILL
is NOW PROPOSED

WASHINGTON, ID. c., December
25.-Thc wooden controversy has come
To the fore again in congress. II was
learned last night that as soon as
possible Senator SmOot of Utah will
seek the introduction of new wooden
tariff bill. The move Is looked upon
with disiavOr by the Democrats. who
do not hesitate to assert that 1t Is
simply ruse to sidetrack any at
tack upon the famous schedule X.
While no details of Smott's propos-
cd measure have been given out Off
cially II has been learned that the
senator plans to base his tariffs on
the single rate idea. This means thai
al tariffs will be figured from tho
duty on secured woolens. II Is under
aUOd that the measure cOntemplatcs
duty of twenty cents on first class
woods, while the so-called second
cl2ss woods will be taxed forty-seyen
cents.
The most important feature Of the
proposed measure has to do with
woolen and wOrsted fabrics. These
VIII be asked to pay q graduated aC
va.orem duty, based upon the differ
ence in cost OF producing these fab
lies at home ana abroad.

The Nashville globe. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1906-193?, 1911-08-04

years ago was working for his board
and seventy-five cents per month
while he attended the city public
school of Troy, Alabama; and during
his years at Harvard University, he
tells us that ne USED to pray just as
hard for snowstorms to come in order
that he might get a job shovelling
snow as the average fellow prays for
some more evident blessing.
No doubt there are among the one
hundred twenty-five night school pu-
pills at Normal many young men and
women who are just as earnest and
anxious and deserving as were any
of the men and women who stand in
the front ranks of this country's most
progressive citizens of today and it
is to be hoped that the night school
which offers them their only oppor-
tunity for getting an education and
trade will not have to be closed be-
cause President Buchanan has not
the funds with which to keep it open.
Five thousand dollars per year will
establish Student Labor Fund for
the purpose of paying poor students
for the services which they perform
for the benefit of the Institution in
their efforts to work their way
through school. This amount will al
so be sufficient to pay for the fuel,
lights and salaries of the night school.
President Buchanan feels confident
that if he can but make the needs OF
his Institution known among them,
philanthropic friends will make it pos
sible for the night school to remain
open.
The night school pupils work at
their trades during the day construct
ing buildings, roads, fences, water
works, sewerage systems, cultivating
the farm and doing other things for
the permanent improvement of the In
stitution while at the same time they
are learning a specific line of work
by which they will earn their living
when they leave school.
Thus it is seen that the night school
serves a double purpose; first, it en-
ables poor students to work their
way through school; secondly, it en-
ables the school to get certain per-
manent Improvements which it could
not get without such labors as these
students render.
President Buchanan and his work
have the unqualified endorsement of
city officials of Huntsville, Alabama,
which is the market center just four
miles from Normal, and of county Of
ficials of Madison County and of emf
nent representative of the state,
while Booker T. Washington, Robert
G. Ogden, and Congressman w. A.
Richardson of Alabama, are lending
