 The American-Yuk Navigation Co.,, in its separate answer, denies that 1t is a common carrier subject to the provisions of the Act to Regu late Commerce, and denies, also, that this Commission has any jurisdic. tion to make any lawful order or finding affecting the defendant This defendant bases it's denial of juris- diction upon the allegation that it is common carrier solely engaged in transporting persons and property by river steamboats between Daw. son. Yukon Territory. Canada, and St. Michael. and other Yukon points in Alaska. It denies that it connects with any railroad in Canada, and alleges that it's connecting line is the British Yukon Navigation Co.,, Ltd, which operates q line of steam boats from Whitehorse to Dawson points on the Yukon river in Canada.

 This corporation promptly object ed to the jurisdiction when the hear. ings began (Hearings.

the harnesses and the sleds. These are the dogs which are now serving n the transport service of the French army in tie Vosges mountains in France.
 Mr. Allan remained with the dogs .57 approximately ten Aays. teaching the men who Were 10 handle them how they should be driven. lie says that the French drivers learned rap idly. He did not go all the way to the front himself. although he stayed In France for about six weeks seeing the beauties of the country.
 Mir. Allan says that the dogs, land ed in France. cost the French gov ernment oyar $IoO each. This was exclusive ol the cost of the harness and sleds.
 "eady,' the immortal.
 "Baldy." the dog which has led MT. AIlans team of racers to many a victory, is the leader Of the team which he drove here from Nome and which be will drive on to the coast irish" another one of MT Allan's old racers, is also in the team, which consists of nine dogs The others are all pups. this being their first long trip. Mir Allan says that he would have made better time from Nome but for the fact that he was driving the pups.
 "Baldy" k now ten year. old and has been in every one of the Derby races at Nome with tho exception of the first. He is still a hard worker, despite his age but his master now thinks that 1t Is time he was pen stoned off. Accordingly he will be taken to Berkeley, California, where Mir Allan's family resides, and left there to enjoy the remainder of his days free from dog harness. That is, he will be left there If he will stay. T don't know how he will like the Outside, and if he doesn't like it I'll bring him back north again with me next spring" said Mir Allan last night.
 "Baldy" has been immortalized in a book written short time ago by Mrs c. E. Darling. of Nome. In speaking of the book last night MT. Allan produced a telegram from Mrs. Darling which stated that the pub fishing company which was handling the book on the Outside had advised her that the first edition had all been sold out. It is probable, as a consequence, that "Daldy" enjoys a wider reputation than any other mem Der of the canine family in the world.
 After the session of the legisla- ture is over MT Allan will go Out side, taking "Baldy" with him The remainder of the team will be driven back through here this spring by a Nome man who is going to the Sew ard peninsula town
