sion.
Representative Frederick d,
Zihlman introduced the same
measure In the House, and made
arrangements for its early cenSid-
Grafton by the House District
Committee.
Senator Blaine Satisfied
There was no indication in
Representative Zihlman'S attitude
yesterday that he intends to re-
linquisll any Of the active work
OF the Craftsmanship of this COM
mittee. despite the so-called ''un-
written rule" Of the House that
q member Of the body under a
legal cloud refrain from such
activity.
It is now a virtual certainty
that the opposition of Senator
j. u. Blaine Of wisconsin, who
blocked the acceptance Of the old
traction merger agreement by
the Senate, has been removed,
inasnurch as he expresses him
self as well satisfied with the new
plan developed by the new Pub
Lie Utilities Commission.
This probably means the meas.
Iire will be approved by the COM
mittee at an early date. and that
Its passage by the Senate is as
sured. The resolution is written
in such q manner that it does not
require its acceptance of the two
traction companies to be at last
partially effective in bringing
about an operating consolidation
at least.
Early Passage Possible
1t is possible the resolution will
be passed by both houses compare
lively eyrly in the present session.
Only In the event that strong OPP
position develops from unexpected
quarters, such as might come in
the event the traction interests
find new Spokesr1en for their
cause In the House and Senate,
will 1t be long delayed.
Observers believe Congress will
act upon the resolution long be-
fore the suits for a fare increase
filed by the Capital Traction and
the w. n. 81 e. are heard In the
courts.

SEPALLA ENROUTE ID
 STATES: DOG RACES.

Enroute to Poland Spring, Maine, to begin training his dogs for the international derbieS, Leonard Sepalla, famous Alaska dog musher and holder of most championships at present, pass ed through Seward Saturday boarding the s. s. Alameda for Seattle. He also took string of 10 Alaska huskies aboard the ves- Sel with him.
 The New England Derby, at Laconia, New Hampshire, the foremost dog event that is held annually and is the premier race for which Sepalla will start his training. This race commences February 12, stated Sepalla, and is run in three days the course is about 130 miles. After a run of about 40 miles each day the dogs are given the balance of the day in which to recuperate and get in first class condition again for the second stretch, etc. Sep alla and his little Alaska and Sir berian huskies have won this race for the last three consecu- tive years.
 second important race ifs the popular Eastern International Dog Race, held in Quebec. It will be run this year on February 2l. The course is 100 miles. Sepalla won this race last year and will enter again this year, proceed ing to Quebec after the Laconia Derby is run.
 From Quebec, the little Alas kan who talks magic to his dogs when they show signs of exhaustion, and hypnotises them into winning-as one dog driver put it last year-will take his diminutive "steeds of the North" to Lake Placid, famous New York winter resort, where they will be entered in the Annual Cup races there.
 Besides the 10 dogs taken with him at this time, sepalla has a kennel of 35 of his dogs at Po- land Spring.
