The 1923 Borden Marathqn Dog Race was run Tuesday, April 10th. last. The day was cloudless and there was no wind. If any fault could have been found with the weather, it would probably have been that the temperature was too high-about 30 degrees above zero The trail was reported to be in ex- cenent condition.
 One of the conditions of the race i, that 1t shall be run under condf- tdons favorable for record breaking, and except for the warmth of the weather, those conditions surely existed last Tuesday, but no records were smashed
 There were five entrants to the race and the leaving point was at the Northwest corner of the Mason ic Temple. The teams left ten mir utes apart, the first team leaving a s o'clock and the last at $40 A. M. A considerable number of people had congregated at the scratch by the time the first team left, and a goodly crowd gathered to see the teams come in.
 There were no mishaps or acci- dents to any of the drivers or their teams except that Billy Cameron re- ported parked shin. which he does not remember barking, but believes that he got 1t mixed up with his brake in some way. Ed. Rohn lost his team near the coal pile and did not recover it until it had reached the old milk ranch, and this cost him considerable time at the outset of the race.
 The race was won by Leonard seppsla who was the first to leave the scratch and the first to return to Nome. Second place was won by Kohanek and Weaver; third place by Billy Cameron: fourth place by George waIdhelm and Ed. Rohn came ir fifth place.

his Wainwright destination and op- orators will take pictures both still and moving of each and every in cfdent pertaining to the flight. In this manner the world will be giv- en an opportunity never before ac- compiished. namely, moving pictures of plane starting it's flight across the top of the world.
 Private T. s. Pierce of the local Radio Corps has been gra nted a | months furlough from the army and has been retained by Lomen Bros :. to accompany Capt. Amundsen in the capacity of wireless operator and photographer. We are given to understand that a receiving and transmission set will be picked up at Candle and taken to Point Bar row where there is Delco Lighting E plant large enough to operate the radio outfit. We are further giv- en to understand that the Delco plant is not large enough to permit sending messages as far as the Moor vik station. but can be used in re- ceiving. Pierce will endeavor to get in touch with Spitzbergen and receive information regarding the weather conditions which will de- termine the time of Amundsen's flight.
 There is much conjecture whether Amundsen will fly from Vain wright or Point Barrow In a late inter view with the Captain just before he left Nome he was asked if he would hop of about June lst. He replied "Oh. mo-" that he would not attempt to leave until the latter part of June, at time when the sun is at it's highest point. (meaning thereby about June 2122,) so as to get the best daylight possible for the flight Asked whether he would take off from Pt. Barrow or Vain wright he stated it was problemati- cal. but he rather believed he would make the jump from his established station at Wainwright and fly direct tc Spitzbergen

Harry Phillips is the local represen- tative of the Film Company, but due to illness was unable to accompany the expedition and accordingly dele gated the commission to Mir. Scar borough. Scarborough will no doubt obtain some remarkable views as he is master of detail and ar tistic. professional workman.
 Wm. Cameron with his swift dog team left with Mir. Scarborough early Friday morning. the party tak ing with them two movie cameras and other instruments for still pie lures. Cameron win proceed as far as Candle and from that point on, another team will be procured to take Mir. Scarborough to his des- tination.

These two travellers win remain together turnout the trip to Wainwright, Gunnar lfkely return ing with the team while Pierce re- mains north until after the flight.
 According to a statement made by Pierce he intends to work his way down the coast in skin boats to Kotzebue Sound and there be picked up by an aeroplane sent north for that purpose.
 Many persons were disappointed in not being able to bid the Captain farewell. It was understood that he would leave from the Federal Courthouse. but for reasons best known to himself the departure took place by circuitous route, none but a few being aware of his leav- ing. The Captains mOdesty is one of his prime characteristics and may be he deprecated any public demon stration.

Just as the bells were ringing out high noon Friday April 18th. Cap tain Ruald Amundsen left the Ham mon Company affice on lst avenue on the first leg of his return journey to Wainwright, where his winter camp is established. Leaving the starting point behind powerful team of l2 dogs Amundsen went down D street to 3rd avenue thence east to street and then headed north to the trail leading out be- yond the Dry Creek power plant. Inst as he rounded the corner and reached the Pangman residence the stanchions on one side of the sled collapsed and the team was stopped until another sled was procured. At12:55 the explorer again ordered his huskies to "mush on" and the final get away was accomplished without further accident.
 A number of friends were given to understand that Amundsen would leave via Solomon and Can de and accordingly went to Solo vent to Solomon to bid him q final mon to bid him a final farewell. Instead of taking the down coast route the Captain. accompanied by Ralph Lomen, took the Kougarok route
 The trip from Nome to Vain wright will take the greater part of one month, reaching the northern destination about May 18th.
 The Captain has remained in Nome until the last minute, taking his departure during the period of the spring when the days are long and warm while the nights are bright and cold. In case the days become too warm. travelling can be done during the night and early morning, but as he travels farther north the trail conditions will re- main excellent as the weather re- mains colder than along the Boring Sea coast.
 Elaborate preparations have been made to feature the proposed trans polar flight of the intrepid explorer. Two teams will accompany him to

The Canadian boats will bring all of the ore from Mayo to Nenana for shipment to the coast by way of the Government railroad and handle all the passenger traffic be- tween the upper Yukon and Nenana.
 The Government boats will sup- ply the freight requirements along the lower Yukon and St. Michael, in- cluding possibly large shipments of coal for the Nome district. It is understood Ernie Barteau will have charge of the White Pass offices at Nenana. and that the White Pass boats operating on the river will be the steamers Alaska and Yukon, for merly Tn service between Nenana and Dawson.

 We replied that the Victoria was scheduled to sail June sth. which has been since changed to the 7th and about October 5th and that in- termediate trips and sailines of freight steamers would depend on the amount of business and asked you to advise how many tons cargo Nome will have for the hrst vic- toria and for the early freighter. We have had no reply and in view of the advice that San Francisco firm is going to put steamer on the route. sailing from Seattle about June 2nd and proposing to make three trips during the season. we would like to have a prompt reply to our inquiry. as to how much freight Nome will have for the Victoria and the freighter We would also re- quest an official statement from you representing the merchants and shippers of Nome as to whether they propose to give the Alaska Steamship Company or the new line the hauling of their shipments.
 We feel that there is not enough business on the route to support two lines and that we are entitled to an expression from the Nome shippers. whom we have served for so many years, as to whether they propose to continue shipping exclusively with us or whether they will switch their business to the proposed new line
