Skagway lo Hold
Sourdough Race
Over White Pass
SKAGWAY, </P) — Sourdoughs
will again race over 2.400-foot
White Pass this summer as they
did in the days of '98.
The race, this time for cash
prizes instead of elusive gold, will
be a feature of Skagway’s sum
mer-long golden jubilee.
Announcing plans for the cele
bration of “50 years of gold,”
Mayor Pat Carroll said Skagway
will be “wide open.” The old Alas
kan dance hall will be revived
with its days of ’98 shows.
Arrival of each boatload of tour
ists will set off such events as the
re-enactmcnt of the shooting of
Soapy Smith, Skagway’s bad man
of the time. Dan McGrew also is
scheduled to die again. For the
benefit of tourists, all Skagway
men today began growing beards.
T’ne Fourth of July will be Alas
kan's Day. A sourdough reunion
will be held about Aug. 1.
Issuing an invitation to all sour
doughs to come back to the gate
way to the Klondike gold fields.
Carroll said the Sourdough Soci
ety of Washington State plans a i
i post-convention voyage here from
i Vancouver, B. C., during the cele-1
bration.
The jubilee coincides with the
opening of the Alaska Highway to 1
tourist travel for the first time
and with the increase of steamer
service from three to five ships.;

Canadian Mounties
i To Be Mechanized
! _
FORT ST. JOHN. B. C., UP)—,
Scarlet-coated Royal Canadian
mounted police will bo mechan
ized in their patrol of the Alaska
Highway in the Yukon.
A survey of the possible use of
horses by the Mounties in patrol
ling the highway was discraded
when it was found that the upkeep
. would be much more than on
mechanized vehicles.
' The police are faced with a rush
of homeseekers from the United
States to Alaska now that the high
way has been opened to unregu
lated traffic.
Inspector T. H. Cronkhitc,
Whitehorse, Y. T., division, said
that the police are faced with a
most unhappy situation with the
opening of the 1,600-mile-long
road. «
Ill-equipped parties are on the
road, trying to crash through to
j Fairbanks. Trailers, jallopies and
I trucks all are in the rush,
j The inspector told of one party
from Arkansas he met between
Fort Nelson, B. C., and Lower
Post, B. C., “The women were
bare-legged and it was 50 below
zero.”
“The outfit had got off the road
and was unable to get back with
out the help of a truck with a
strong towline” the inspector said.
“Their trailer was warm enough
while the fuel oil held out, but
they were without fuel and with
out gas, and 100 miles from no
where.”
Inspector Cronkhite said the
highway was in excellent shape on
his trip from Whitehorse to here.
The highway is devoid of all the
conveniences of the usual heavy
traffic roads. There are few if any
gas stations along the way and
unless a party has its own living
accommodation the journey is
roung and dangerous.
The war put the whole world
on the W.P.A.—will pay after
wards.

Many Landiuates
Make Big Business
NEW YORK, ffl*) — The cam
paign button industry expects its
biggest boom this election year.
There are so many would-be
Presidents, manufacturers said to
day that they expect to .^ell a rec
ord 40,000,000 to 50,000 000 lapel
pins by the time the campaign is
in full sying.
So far, the only big order has
come from Henry A. Wallace
backers who arranged for 300,000
pins. A few Thomas E. Dowey
buttons are in circulation but the
makers say they are leftovers from
1944.
