The tail enders were the Council entry which arrived at S:O7 and Kittilsen who reached the stake at 11:35.
 Seppala rested but a few minutes departing on the homeward course at six D. m. The Council team departed at S:15 while Allan and Holmson rested until 3:2o and 3:41 respectively. After proceeding a short distance Seppala suffered an injury to his hand while

 The running time of the several teams up to this point are as follows: Sep pala 2S:4l, Allan X Darling 29: 90; kjesstad 30:2l, Council Kennel Club 30: IS, kittleson 30:45.

 After passing Council.

Having cap tured the runaways he rested until 2: 51 a. m Seppala. well rested and with the dogs in fair shape again assumed the lead, departing for Timber twenty-two minutes ahead of his rival, although on arriving there the teams were but four minutes apart, Seppala arriving at 5:32 a m and Allan at 5:36 a. m.

off turning point at Candle Trained to the hour, the swift canines are reel ing off the lengthy miles; through darkness and daylight they will hurry along the frozen trails winding over hin and plain, on, ever on, to that dis tant goal on the Arctic shores, then, on the return journey, the many leagues will again pass beneath their swiftly flying feet until they reach their jour ney's end in Nome.
 Onward, ever onward, over the slistening trail the furry speeders will continue for three long days and nights. Suns will rise and suns will set, the glowing radiance of day will be sup planted by the dusky twilight of the night lighted by the culdly sIeamins stars and the trembling radiance of the amoras rays and still they will go hurrying on. Brief stops will be made to snatch a trifle of rest and food and then again onward, until, at length. the long journey will be ended and they will once more reach the sheltering haven of home. It is a hard task to which the faithful animals are com mitted. Four hundred and eight miles must pass beneath the padded feet be fore the journey is complete, four hun dred and eight long and weary miles, each one seemingly longer that the rest must be traversed before the end will come. storms may blow and the chil- ling frost may pinch and bite and still they must go on although their weary limbs may ache and their hearts beat hard and fast. And then will come the finish and dog and master will again rejoice in the comfort of warmth and rest

WIRELESS SUBJECT
 ID INTANGIBLE TAX
 SAYS W. 1. MARTIN
Holds That While They Do Not Use Streets and High ways They Compete
 With Wires

Montgomery, December 1S-(SpeciaL) In answer to an. inquiry from the state board of equalization, Attorney General William l.. Martin has ruled that the in tangible properties of wireless telephone and telegraph companies are subject to taxation the same as the intangible prop- critics of telephone and telegraph com panies.
 In the opinion of the attorney general the revenue act, while it does not refer specifically to the propertis of wireless telephone and telegraph companies con- tains language sufficiently broad to in- clude such properties,
 The state board of equalization, in ask ing for the opinion, explained to the at torney general that the equipment of wire less telephone and telegraph companies are placed on buildings owned by the company, and that while they use no streets or highways, are in competition with companies transmitting messages by means of wires.
 The attorney general ruled, in response to another inquiry from the board that the assessments of tangible and intangible properties of public utilities should be made at the same time as assessments on real and personal property, Octo- Der l.
 Another ruling of the attorney general was to the effect that a license inspector has authority to report delinquencies on business not provided for in the license act.

Dayton, O., December 1S.-A taxi was whirling down Main street en route to the depot yesterday morning, when pe- destrians were startled to hear a woman cry to the chauffeur, Stop quick"
 As the brakes brought the car to a grinding lurch at the curb, a tall, hand some, dark-eyed woman sprang out and fairly ran across the sidewalk and into the Miller drug store.
 ''Oh, I'm so glad I saw it,' she said
 "'What?" asked the surprised clerk.
 "ranlac' answered the woman.
 I'm on my way to the depot" she continued. T saw the Tan1ac sign It's just what I want Wrap me up a dozen bottles"
 As the package was being wrapped the woman, whose smile rippled be- tween dimples as a punctuation mark for every sentence, told a story rich in the romance of human interest.
 She is Miss Grace Burns of Elmira, N Y, who came to Dayton to visit friends before proceeding to Indianapo- lis, from where she will accompany a member of a well known family there to Florida for a winters convales- cenee.
 'Tanlac is wonderful said Miss Burns. T believe my training as a nurse qualities me to judge it, but it is my own experience with Tanlac that impressed me so remarkably Since then I have recommended Tanlac scores of times without once seeing it fail.
 Nurses are supposed to have iron constitutions" Miss Burns continued ''but guess am not blessed with one broke down while studying about six months ago. My nervous system just collapsed. My appetite failed; I suf- fered nausea after eating only bouillon and toast. I had the most frightful headaches and slept so fitfully I gained no real rest. l lost 20 pounds in three weeks.
 Though I hated the thought, I had just about decided to go to a hospital when another nurse told me about Tan lac as she sat at my bedside.
