Fourteen Huskies
Full Truek
In Seattle
SEATTLE, — Fourteen dogs
ran up the road at the edge of
town yesterday pulling a truck.
Bystanders gaped, but E. L. Sno
die, boss of the Bow Lake kennels,
stood calmly on the running board
and gave the dogs instructions and
Leonard Seppala, the famed Alas
ka dog-team racer, sat behind the
wheel and called for more power.
They are Siberian husky sled
dogs o fa new strain being devel
oped by Seppala and Snodie.
These truck-towing brutes have
pure white fur, blue eyes and pink
noses and weigh about 49 pounds.
Their trainers take them out for
a six-mile exercise jaunt three
times a week, but the dogs con
sider that a mere breather.
The name of Seppala is associ
ated with dog teams like the shout
of “mush”! He won the 408-mile
Alaskan Sweepstakes in 1915-16
and 17, and drove the team that
delivered diphtheria serum to
Nome in 1925.
Sled-dog statisticians say Sep
pala has won more sled dog races
than any other man in North
America—about 35 in all, includ
I ing some in New England and
Quebec.
Seppala says he thinks the Si
berian huskies are a crossbreed
of fox and dog, without any wolf
strain. No one seems to know
their exact origin, but Seppala
says run on the trail with a bounc
ing lope like that of a fox.
They have been raised for cen
turies by the natives of eastern
Siberia and were fight brought to
Alaska by an English nobleman.
Snodie said the Siberian husky
makes a good pet because he is so
friendly—He is known as the
“biteless” dog.
Henry Muller, of Tiller, ;nd lo
cal plumber, and Carita O'Connor
were united in marriage Monday
evening by the U. S. Commission
er. Meto Muller and Frances Wal
ker were attendants at the cere
mony.
