PLENTY COMPETITION MARATHON MOUNTAIN

The true Alaskan spirit. Yes folks,
 it's something all Alaskans should be
 proud of. For Alaska to grow all cit
 ies and towns in it must grow. It is
 we'll to be friendly enemies for one needs competition to strive for a car- tain goal, otherwise there is a lack Of
 ambition. Everybody admits without argument the exactness of this state
 ment, but the inherent trouble is lack
 ol cooperation when the time comes
 to act. But not always, listen to this.
 From Anchorage comes a young man Max Shellabarger, known to his more personal friends as Smiling Rosebud, to help us celebrate the Fourth. It would have been very hard for Anchorage to choose a more worthy representative Thanks Anchorage' Now Rosebud" is not an uncommon name to the citizens of Seward. Last year this young man in the great Marathon Mountain Race succeeded ir reaching the top first only to in- jure himself on his way down, and by sheer gameness and his never-say. die spirit finally finished third, just being nosed out. If you don't succeed the first time, try again. That is bis motto. He is now entry number five for the big race.
