DOG RACING CAUSE
 BETTER BREED DOG
Superior to Malamute or Husky

During the visit of Colonel John C. Gotwals in Cordova many compli mentary remarks were made to him about his Siberian dog, "Tci." The colonel stated that "Ici" is French for Come here," and he secured the dog in Nome from Leonard Seppala threetime winner of the Nome sweep stakes, and one of the most famous dog mushers the North has ever pro- duced. "Ici' was bred from Seppala' s best racing team and is from a pure. bred Siberian strain developed by the natives of Siberia in the region west of Alaska.
 The Siberian dog is said to be su- perior to other dogs on the winter trail in spirit, intelligence, speed and endurance. They are more highly de veloped than the so-called Alaskan husky or malamute dog. Siberian dogs can bark, whereas the malamute and the husky howl.
 The colonel's opinion of the Siber ian dog is that he comes from the same stock as the Belgian police dog that they are not well fitted for heavy work, such as freighting, as the larger type of the Alaskan dog but for other purposes he believes they are highly superior. The Siber' ian dog is called by the oldtimers of the Territory, "An all-day dog, meaning that they are good every day from morning till night, for from six to eight miles an hour and are apparently as fresh at the end of the day as when they started in the morning.
 Colonel Gatwals believes that with the revival of the Alaskan sweep stakes race, it will serve the purpose of creating a better breed of dogs That these Little steeds of the north" are absolutely the only means of transportation into remote regions in winter, or until that time when roads and trails will completely tra verse Alaska.

SOME INFORMATION
 ABOUT THE TERRITORY
Hard-Headed Facts Presented for Perusal by Those Who Do Not
 Know

The Anchorage Merchants Associ- ation is filling a long-felt want by adopting an advertising system that will bear fruit as it progresses Each member is supplied with compila- tion of excerpts on the resources of Alaska which is mailed in the reg ular correspondence. Following is compilation supplied by Brown & Hawkins corporation for the use of the members of the association:
 Did you know that Sitka, Alaska, was the biggest shipyard on :he Pacific Ocean before San Francisco was started? That Alaska is one fifth as big as the United States, and that the population is only 55,- O36; and the whites number only 27,8OO.
 A pretty small town could hold all these, but it would take a big town to import Gas they did in 192D $2O, O,209,228; and some village to pro- duce $45,745,33S.
 But 1921 was a poor year; let's average it for five or six years and: Imports $40,0O0,O00; exports, $72,000,- 900.
 Henry Ford's little venture was piker bet alongside of this. Uncle Sam laid down $720O,000 on Alaska (not that he wanted to bet, but because he owed the czar cour- tesy).
 That little bet has already paid him in exports over s1,O30,00O,OO0, and he's sold Alaska to date about 100000.
 Two hundred twenty-seven thou sand and eight hundred Americans at tempt to gather up what Uncle Sam won-the. Lord only knows how many Government clerks are trying to count it!
 At 300 D. m., June 30, 1922, these 27,S00 pioneers had bank deposits of $7,OS6,00O and they sent, during 1921, 2,521 healthy kiddies to school, and spent $245,33O teaching them to be good Americans.
 That old Santa Claus story gets queer twist here, where 259,000 odd tame reindeers graze peacefully, but then 5S1,453 fur seals won't live anywhere else.
 Before it was finished the Alaska Railroad ($56,000,000, and worth it), made 2,455,322 passenger miles and 3161,276 tons miles Gin 192D-and it's only 500 miles short. But these 800 miles are busy every day and you can sleep in their Pullmans, and you don't have to wear a rubber apron when you have coffee in the diner.
 This Income Tax (you've heard about it) shows that Alaskans have the biggest income in the world; they led the country in average lib- erty loan subscriptions, and the Red Cross says things, too.
 Every Alaskan in trade value, has been computed to be worth sev- enteen Porto Ricans, forty-two Ha- waiians, or 156 Filipinos-and people still call for Arabian Nights!

RUM RUNNERS ARE "SAVED' BY EX-B0OTLECCER
Religion That Fails in the Churches" Is
 Augmented
OFFENDERS SMASH STOCKS
Real Man Stuff' Is Taught to Hardy
 Mountaineers

PLATTSBURG, N. Y, March 5. - Rum runners religion" the brand that fails in the churches because the gentry are usually absent, is being on the Adirondack booze trade by Charles Banker, resident of Platts- burg, who has won for himself the title of Bootleg Preacher of the Adj rondacks."
 In Bankers wake is a trail of re- formed rum-runners, men whom he has sought out in their homes, stopped on the roads with their rum-laden cars and talked to at the dens where they gather.
 To his credit are listed a series of liquor smashings done by the penitent offenders that would have brought a blush of shame to the renowned Car rie Nation.
 Real man stuff' is the way Banker describes what he breaches. "Intend- ed to reach those that the churches can't" he explains.
 But he has penetrated even into the churches, and a series of revivals in Adirondack church has been carried on by Banker
 Responded to "CaII"
 With the zeal of a fanatic Banker travels over the Adirondack booze trail. To a newspaperman he de- scribed the manner of his "call' to preaching and the start of the work that won for him his title.
 Tramp carpenter booze and general hard man-that was Banker, accord ing to his own statement.
 He worked at Plattsburg, but shift ed from job to job about the Adiron- dacks. He lived the life of the lumber jack, as tough as the toughest" of the rough men who pursue that calling far from civilization. That was Charles Banker.
 Then, he declares, he was stricken with illness. His legs were useless. Physicians gave him up. Like flash, he says, it was revealed to him. "Go out and preach"
 That command to Banker was the most real thing in his life. He obeyed the call. The illness vanished. The command was obeyed. Today Banker declares he is perfectly well.
 Follow Banker over the booze trail. Into the home of the rum-runner. Watch the crude man in rough woods- mans clothes pray with the culprit.
 Hear the tinkle of the broken bot ties that follow him about
 Witness one of the strange revivals he holds in churches in the little Adj rondack villages.
 See the strange light that blazes in the mans eyes.
 Hear the homely truth that he drives home in crude language, the relics of bygone days.
 Travels Countryside
 On an on over the booze trail Banker goes. Today in Plattsburg, to- morrow in Malone, the next day in Peru, then a jump to Saranac Lake, welcome by the ministers of his faith, helped along the roads by possible en- counter with a rum-runner car.
 Today a series of, visits to homes where a churchgoer cannot be found Tonight, a revival meeting in some church.
 A few souls saved There and there' is the description of his work given by Charles Banker, the Bootleg Preacher of the Adirondacks."
