JUDGE HUBBARD SAYS IT'S VALDEZ
Writes to the Valdez Commercial As sociation That Valdez Will Be
 the Terminus.

Judge Hubbard has written to the Valdez Commercial Association that he has just returned to Chicago after a trip to Washington, D. C., where he went to present the claims of Valdez as the terminus of the gov ernment railroad, that he feels very much encouraged with the outlook and does not think it possible for the government to do anything else but construct the trunk line from Valdez to Fairbanks.
 He further says While I am en- tirely sanguine that the outcome is going to be what we desire with ref erence to the location of the railroad, at the same time I have thought it advisable not to leave any stone un- turned to bring about the result. l shall continue to work industriously along this line until the announce ment is finally made that valdez'ha secured the railroad to Fairbanks."
 MT. Hubbard filed with the Secre- tary of the Interior a letter setting out in a. very convincing way the real advantages of the Valdez route and accompanied the same with a diagram map, showing conclusfveiy that the known resources of the interior of Alaska are all north and east of Val dez, and that a railroad from here is absolutely necessary to carry out the intent of congress when they pro vided for a railroad that would best aid in the devvseioapldmhietshht itshht of the min etai and agricultural or other re- sources of Alaska"

For two hours and seven minutes the team of nine big huskies organ ized by Fred Berg held the ten men organized by William Gelineau to null against them, but numbers in the end counted and they slowly gave way until the ribbon crawled over the line and they lost the contest.
 It is doubtful if such another team of men could be organized in Alas ka and certainly not in this section as held the Gelineauites down for more than two hours. Big and strong and with a determination to win they pulled and pulled against greater numbers and at the start gained six inches before they slowly began to lose ground and then slowly. and steadily the other team gained.
