The start will be made in the great dog race Wednesday morning. AL ready Dave Martin, the oldest Juneau inhabitant has commenced to ask for the entries. Dave was in Nome last winter and was an enthralled witness to the All.Alaska Sweepstakes as the great annual dog race is officially known.
 Speaking of the event last night, Dave said: It's the most absorb ing thing I ever had to do with-it gets in the blood Everybody told me Tdl get the dog fever. and did. T couldn't help it. Fourth of July sinks into iusignifence compared with this big thing. There were five dog teams entered. On the day of the start Front street reminded me of Market street. San Francisco. The interest of the people was intense. The teams started at tiye-minute in- tervals and as soon as the last had passed the line a rush was made for the Board of Trade where Frank Hall was posting odds,
 Betting was pretty heavy and I commenced to feel the blood jingle. Women and girls were betting gloves and ribbons among themselves-later on they were occasionally seen slip ping a few dollars to fathers. broth, CTS and sweethearts to wager on the results.
 The night of the first day became restless and dressing at o'clock in the morning hastened down to the Board of Trade to have a look at the bulletin board-a man was writing: .Scotty Allen has just passed Top kak. rested here ten minutes Every night afterward the experience was repeated with some slight variations. All the time the odds kept changing according to the position of the rac- CTS. Many of the people sat there in the Board of Trade continually with their eyes glued to the board. they had their meals brought to them from nearby restaurants.

Dave Martin and the
 AlI-Alaska Sweep Stakes

By the third day was worn to a
 frazzle with the constant strain on
 my nerves-I wanted to own a dog
 team. one that would be winner.
 I would doze occasionally and dream
 that a bunch of mink and marten
 skins that had on hand had in some miraculous way become embodied and were tearing down the trail hitched to racing sled and that they had the other fellows in the race beaten so badly that was in big money.
 The finish was intenself excit- ing. It was clear and beautiful night and about fifteen, degrees be- low zero. Everybody was down town promenading the main thoroughfare. Front street was lined on both sides from Barracks Square for several blocks south. The Board of Trade was crowded with an excited mass of humanity. Women with anxious looks sent their small boys in it get the latest news bulletins. When the Fort Davis gun announced that Scot ty" Allen had passed that point on the return from Candle and had but three miles yet to go of the 4OS, in- ,l,,1o5 in tba cOurse a rule was made to get to the British and Amer ican flags with which an arch was made across Front street. Front street was roped on each side for a distance of several blocks and the barrier to get a view of the hero and lrenzied people crushed against the his faithful dogs.

He was immeri- lately seized and hoisted to the shoul- ders of admiring friends and carried away The judges inspected the dog team to see that everything tallied ID all right and another crowd took the dogs away to a place where they could rest.

All of these steamships stop at ket- chikan, Juneau and Skagway.
 The Jefferson and Dolphin make ad- ditional stops, Seattle to Skagway in- elusive.
 The Mariposa, Alameda and North western will serve Cordova, Valdez, LaTouche, Ellamar and Seward, sail ing every sixth day from Seattle as against the eight day schedule of past summers. These steamships will be express passenger boats between Seattle and skagway with no local stops except at Ketchikan and Juneau to handle mail and passengers. This improvement will be of great benefit to Skagway and to all travel into and out of the interior via the White Pass route as it increases the Skag- way sailings of this one company alone by double the number of sail ings and giving the special express service in both directions between Skagway and Seattle.
 Juneau and Ketchikan also get the regular sailing from Seattle or to se- attle every three days which is a service never before given to any of the towns of Southeastern Alaska. By the addition of one steamship all the ports specified are thus given a better service than in any past year.
 This schedule has been arranged at the request of residents of each port affected. By adding one steam ship it was found that all could be given the improved service and that travellers in either direction between Skagway and Dawson could be as. sured of steamer every third day at Skagway with five through express steamers being included. These five sailings will do away with the long stops at local ports between skaway and Seattle and will give run of three days between Juneau and Sc. attle.
 The sailing arrangements will be continued until late into October SC as to accommodate passengers com ing out from Dawson and river points via skagway.
