such races Is manifest. We have read that there was to be a dog race in Idaho, and also the Hudson Bay derby was about to be run with only one American entry, last years win ner by the way.
 The 26 mile race recently run at Mccarthy, with three entries, was a fine example of what can be done in the way of creating interest. The whole population of Mccarthy was on the qui vive during the entire race, and several people became so voci- ferrous in cheering their favorite teams, that they were unable to speak above a whisper for several days thereafter. The olden days when the Nome sweepstake was the classic of the dog racing game are oyer The Seward peninsula has greatly decreased in population of late, and the original devotees of the tered all over the states. They have not however lost their interest in the sport, but are proselytising and gaining converts with their exciting stories of the great Nome race. It is self evident that dog racing has a universal appeal to all red-blooded Americans wherever they may be. It is therefore of great importance to Cordova and the Copper rover val ley that the recent suggestion made of an annual dog race classic be- tween Mccarthy and Cordova should be carefully considered. The many advantages of such race not only as a sporting event, but as a splendid means of advertising the great Cop per river valley need no argument to prove. It is hoped that the local chamber of commerce will investi- gate the possibilities of such race and lend it's support to the event pro- vided reasonably favorable conditions for success are found. The up-the- river communities are behind the movement and it would not do for Cordova to lag behind

OUR FIRST PRESIDENT

Virginia, the mother of presidents, on 22nd of February, 189 years ago, began to lay the foundation of it's greatest fame, by giving sanctuary to George Washington on his natal day, at the almost forgotten village of Bridges Creek. An artistocrat by training and environment, a relative of English nobility, welded to a woman of great estates, he neverthe. less had vision enough to see that the greatness of the colonies lay in an essentially democratic system of government. Impervious to unjust criticism, possessed of great strength of will, never yielding to despair or Encouragement he is the true father of his country" The very existence of the United States of America is owed to Washington The truth of this fact sometimes becomes logged in our minds as the years roll on, and the stirring events of pre-revolution- ary, and revolutionary days become dimmed in the mists of time. But his place ill history is secure His fame as a general needs no justify. ing. A country boy without any particular scholastic training such as European officers received in the science of war, he met England's best generals and defeated them The citi- zen armies of the colonies, raised by volunteering, without uniforms. un- disciplined, poorly armed except in their moral equipment, by the indus try and indefatigable energy of Wash ington, were formed into a homo genous unit which met in battle the trained battalions of Europe's most warlike countries and emerged vic torious. His genius for organization and personal magetism put the Caya- Her of the south and the Puritan of the north into the same army and caused them to work in harmony. His great friendship for Lafayette, saw its richest fruit In the late war with Germany, when American armies on French soil fought to repay the debt which this country had incurred to France in the Revolution.
 He was our first president, and his conduct of the office resulted, through the great wisdom of Wash ington, in safely launching the Unit ed States on the troublous sea of the world. He was the pioneer advocate Of America first. His precept against entangling alliances is still a vital force in present day politics. His re. fusal to accept a third term as presi- dent has set a standard which even such great and popular men as Grant and Roosevelt were unable to break in their efforts to be elected to third terms. His greatness is on a secure foundation. He alone of all his con- temporaries realized the greatness of the nation he was founding. His tlrmness tn putting down the Whisky Rebellion is of interest in these days of national prohibition. Unfortunately the press and politicians of his day were no better than those of the present and the venomous attacks of large sections of the press com bined with the enmity of former po- litical associates embittered his last days, yet the words of Chief Justice John Marshall spoken at an oration made at the funeral of Washington, ring true and will live forever. Wash. ington was first in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen"
