ALASKA
CLASSIC
ENDING!

NOME, April 17.-"I'M
drive the hearts out of Sep
pala's wolves" said "Scot-
ty" Allen.
This was just before the
start of the 412-mile all
Alaska sweepstakes dog-race
over the snow trail from
Nome to Candle and back,
Wednesday.
The race will end late to-
day.
Seppala and his 16 Siberian
wolves are still In the lead.
Allen and his 16 Alaska-bred
malamutes are not far behind and
coming strong.
Finish Best Ever.
A more grueling finish was
never seen in Alaska. Allen is
driving a heady race, and may
make good his boast. Telephone
reports from the trail describe
Seppala as haggard and stagger-
Ing, his wolves as nearly "all
in" "Scotty" is closing up the
gap between his team and Sep
palla's.
Wolves or malamutes! Craft
or sheer, logged grit!
The malamutes, rested at Bos-
ton, seem strong for the finish.
The wolves drag their bellies
over the snow, but they do not
falter.
The race started at 8 in the
morning Wednesday. Five teams,
the fleetest and stoutest-hearted
in the world, got away. all Nome
cheering.
Allen jumped into the lead at
Solomon, 32 miles from Nome.
Seppala took the lead from him
at Gold Run, 1872 miles from
Nome, his time being 2S hours
Al minutes, five hours faster
than last year.
He was then one hour and Ia
minutes ahead of 'Scotty."
Seppala held his lead to Candle
and started back, but he could
not increase 1t. Allen nursed his
team along with all the skill at
his command, planning stra-
tegic finish.
At last he actually passed Sep
pala, entering Boston first. And
Boston is only IS miles from
Nome. Seppala reached Boston
soon after.
Sleeps Four Hours.
Then Allen did, deliberately, a
remarkable thing. He unhitched
his dogs and laid down and slept.
He had travelled 305 miles in So
hours and IL minutes. ;
Seppala and his wolves
reached Boston 33 minutes
later. He was told that Al
len was asleep. He rested
his wolves 20 minutes and
started on.
s'TelI 'Scotty,'" he said in
departing, ''whcn ne wakes
up, that / hope he slept well
and that, IL he's going to
run the hearts out OF my
wolves, he'd better come
a-running."
Cling to Sled.
He is, without. doubt, counting
on the rest his dogs have had to
win. Neither .Seppala nor his
wolves have slept since the race
started. ..,t.
At 7:15 Friday night Seppala
entered Council. He was then IS
miles from Nome, having driven
327 miles in So hours and Is
minutes. A telephone message
says his eyes were glazed, and
that he no longer pushed upon
the sled handles to help his
wolves, but chung to them for
support. ~
His mittens were frozen to the
handles, and his mukluks were
torn to tatters. He grInned
quecrIy as he halted In the town
to wipe the sweat from his brow,
and called upon his wolves to

outlook is much what 1t was just
before the two tremendous booms
of 1878 and 1898.
He also calls attention to the
fact that while the cotton acreage
will be smaller than in the past,
much of this land will be given
over to spring wheat, and this
will go to swell the acreage of
grains whose extent already beats

From Chicago comes news that

a sure sign of revival, while one
reports that 1t has placed larger
orders throughout the country
than it did for the same week a
year ago.
5000, 100000 Balance!
Finally, and typical of the
huge war orders which continue
to stimulate our trade, comes the
news from Montreal, Canada, that
at least 80 American concerns are
sharing the work and profits on
the $S0,000,000 contract Cor
shrapnel explosives Just closed by
the Canadian Car & Foundry Co.
Thanks to the exports of such
supplies as the above, figures
made public in Washington this
week show that for the first three
months of the year Uncle Sam has
piled up trade balance of $780,
100000. This figure, with the
addition of the first three days OF
April, is larger than the entire
balance in our favor for the whole
IL months of any of the pre-
ceding five years except 1918!

PAPAL coNSlSToRY is BEGUN
Six New Cardinals to Be Elected and
Peace Plan May Be
Unfolded.

Rome, Dec. 6.-The conslstory at
which six new cardinals will be elect
ed began at the Vatican today, 1t Is
the occasion of the gathering here of
notable prelates coming from both
sides of the great world struggle. All
sorts of rumors are naturally flying
about, mostly having to do with in
formal peace parleys under the aus
pices of Benedict XIV, who is recog.
nized as an accomplished diplomatist.
The list of new cardinals. which has
been made public, is as follows; Mon.
signor Tonti, papal nuncio to Portu.
gal: Most Reverend Monsignor Mis-
trangelo, archbishop of Florence; Mgr.
G. Cagliero, apostolic delegate to
Costa Rica: Mgr. A. Fruehwirth. papal
nuncio to Bavaria; Count Scapivelll
papal nuncio at Vienna. and Arch
bishop Gusmini Of Bologna.
or the many reports current here
today the most interesting are that
the pope will reveal a comprehensive
plan to bring peace to the worlt
again; and that he will renounce tn,
pontifcal claim to temporal soy
ereignty in order to make of himsel
a more universally acceptable peace
maker.

Shanghai.-The crew of the Chinese
cruiser Chao-Ho mutinied and opened
fire on two other warships and the
arsenal here. The fire was returned,
the engagement lasting for an hour.
Several shots fell in the foreign con-
cessions. Apparently the outbreak
was confined to the Chao-Ho. The
Chinese authorities announced that
she would be shelled and sunk at day.
break. Conflicting accounts of the
nature of the outbreak are current,
and owning to strict measures taken
by the authorities it has been impos-
sible to obtain official information.
1t appears, however, that 20 men set
forth from the foreign settlement in a
launch and went alongside the Chao-
Ho, which is lying opposite the Kiang-
Nan Arsenal. On the arrival Of the
launch, the crew OF the Chao-Ho mu-
tinted, apparently by pre-arrangement.
The mutineers opened fire on the ar
senal, the cruiser Hai-Chi and the gun
boat Tung.Ching. The Hai-Chi and
Tung- Ching replied, and there was
lively cannonading of light and heavy
guns for an hour. At least half a
dozen three-pound shots fell in the
foreign concessions. The city and
countryside we're thrown into panic
After the firing ceased, the Chaotic
remained at anchor, keeping watch on

Serious Accidents.

Mrs. Teletha Ferguson, aged
80, mother of Judge |. c. Fergu-
son, sustained a serious accident
last Wednesday at her home on
Elk Fork. She was entering the
house and at the doorstep missed
her footing and fell, fracturing
her hip. Medical aid was obtain
ed at once, but owing to her ad-
vanced age and feebleness it was
deemed best not to attempt to
reduce the fracture. Little hope
is entertained for her recovery.
Mrs. Ferguson is an estimable
old lady and widely known in this
county and her friends will learn
with sincere regret of her mis-
! fortune.

The Inauguration.

The Inauguration of Governor
Stanley and Lieutenant Governor
Black at Frankfort Tuesday was
one OF the most imposing ever
witnessed at the Kentucky Capt.
tai. Never before had such e.
laborate preparations been made,
and the event equaled the expec-
tations of those in charge. Fully
25, 900 people were in attendance
and the program was carried out
to the minutest detail. The pa
rade was the biggest ever wit
messed in Frankfort.
We can not give the text of
Governor Stanley's inaugural ad-
dress, but it was one of great
promise to Kentucky. A manly,
courageous, ringing message to
Kentuckians that holds out to the
people of this State the assurance
of a greater Kentucky.

Mexico VIII Demand Attention.
The Mexican policy always may be

position in the limelight of congress-
AS depredations, loss Of American
lives and property, and disorders con-
tinue in the turbulent republic, Re-
publican members are gathering am
munition for vigorous attacks upon
the administrations recognition of

Antidumping legislation will be
brought in early in thesession upon
recommendation OF the department OF
commerce, and perhaps Of the presi'

vent the dumping of European goods
into the United States after the wal
at below-the-market prices to regain
lost trade. 1t is proposed to impose
a tax upon such goods sufficient to
bring their selling price in America
up to the regular market price.
An amendment to the antitrust
laws to permit American manufactur
ers to combine for the purpose o
maintaining cooperative selling agen
cies abroad will be attempted also
Under the present laws American cor
porations find prohibitive the cost o
operating individual selling agencies
in European countries because o
government supervision of the mar
kets there.
Laws probably will be enacted ol
suggestion of the department OF Jus

The department has found 1t very diff
cult to make cases against the perpt
traitors of the plots against munition
