esting as the “real’’ election campaign gets underway.
Sponsored jointly by the University of Alaska Young Demo
crats and Young Republican Clubs, the election was held from
iu a.m. to b p.m. in the lobby of the1
Student Union Building. The "mock”

;Ruby Holds First
Dog Race Since
Days Of Seppala
Ruby dog mushers raced nearly
nine miles two weeks ago—their
first big derby race in 46 years. The
last one, in 1916, was won by famed
Alaskan pioneer, Leonard Seppala.
Eleven entered the men’s races,
of which Billy Captain was the
winner. Fourteen contenders, led by
Flora Silas, participated in the four
and one-half mile junior dog mush
ers race. Jennie Silas was winner
of the 12 who entered the women’s
race. John May and Emmett Peters
of Ruby sponsored the race.
Ruby residents have announced
plans for an annual dog mushers
race—The Ruby Derby—to be held
in memory of the pioneers of Alas
ka and Leonard Seppala who is
now in his eighties.
Although Ruby, Alaska, was once
strictly a pioneer mining town, the
dog races held there used to be sec
ond only to the Fairbanks North
America Championship Races.
