By two minutes over Anderson,
Seppala won the first leg of the race
to Candle and he waited not on the
order of his going for within eight
minutes he had shaken tlie dust oft
his feet and started out again on
the Home Stretch. Seppala's total
time to Candle is not a record break
er being 72 hours, 22 mins, and 25
secs. Anderson arrived in Candle at
10:24:49 having run a good race
all the way. He rested at Candle
as did Delzene who arrived third at
11:35:55. The race had no dramatic
features, the dogs being in good
condition and the drivers iiien:
selves in fairish shape. The most
exciting event of the day was the
continuance of Kjegstead in the
race for he was advised passing en
route to Boston Council City this
morning at 8:44, carrying the
frozen dog stiff in his sled. 7 he tinu
made by the teams, regardless ot
stops, is about up to the average
and the present indications are
such as to make it anyone's race.
The weather showed a tendetu;. to
moderate all round yesterday and il
was much warmer and more benign.
Trail reports said the track was
fast and fine for sledding, so that
extra good time ought to be made
if no storm comes up. Owing to the
fact that the teams have been some
what seriously delayed by the storm
and thus having their time out
greatly protracted, the interest is
not as live in the contest as in other
years. The teams will probably
return to Nome Saturday morning.
Delzene left Candle at 5:31. An
derson at 6:3, Seppala rested at
Gold Run where he arrived at 2:15
leaving again at 7:45. Delzene
passed Gold Run at 9:20. and An
derson passed at ten o'clock. The
weather was fine.

I have the knife, it is long and
shinney. Helen Crowley AT THE
END OF THE RAINBOW, Eagle
Hall, April 14th.
A former Nomeite, writing to a
friend in Nome, gives the following
racy if somewhat gloomy picture of
conditions in the Suirit City:
I have been waiting for the time
when 1 could write something of
importance hut the unexpected has
not happened up to date. 1 have
been doing odd jobs of all kinds
and hardly could I say that I have
been at work, i have three or four
promises to go to work soon and
if it looks good to me I will stay
here. 1 have not made my full ex
penses. There is three times as
much work going on in different
lines at the present time than there
was last winter hut there are thou
sands of men to do it. One must
he well acquainted or born in Se
attle in order to obtain work. The
waterfront is the dullest ot them all.
If there is a rush there they send
to the University: some students
are always ready for a few hours
work checking and they get the call.
I dont look around the front any
more. The weather has been fright
ful all winter. Rain always, snow
for a change and hail at times and
it was real cold this morning. 26
and snowing. Very seldom have 1
seen the sun. Seattle has the same j
old boost: Graft, leading the U. S. I
A. in everything: nothing is over
looked. They brag until one gets
sick of it. Nothing but prosperity
and boom and yet everyday the pa
pers tell of some father with six or
seven children that need work as he
has been unable to procure em
ployment of any kind, and the pa
pers ask if any one knows of or
has any work to notify the news
paper and when they succeed in
finding him a job it is blazoned out
in big headings—Oh rot. what’s
the use!
I spent ten days in Frisco and 1
found I was a total stranger and ,
did not meet twenty people that 1
really knew. Plenty of idle men
in Frisco too, so I returned here.
There are many Alaskans in Seattle
I meet many that do not intend to
go back, especially among the work
ing classes.
It also meet Goggin. Murane,
Schofield. Ben Bernard and so many
others I can’t remember them. Pete
Brandt and Bill Eddy are at the
Frye. Tom Ross is in California.
Chas Wente of the Casadepaga has
opened a restaurant called the Rook
ery on Pine between First and
Second Avenue. William McCurdy is
working for him. Mrs. Mike Sulli- ,
van of the Staple House at Nome ,
is running a rooming house on 1st
Avenue, called the Hanover House
and seems to be doing well. The
two oldest boys are near Tacoma at
School. Jack Nash, young Dill, Gene
Rose, Chas LeClaire and quite a few
others are working in the shipyards.
Frank O’Connor is in San Francisco,
Brother Carroll is in Baltimore.
The price of living is some factor
here. Potatoes $85 per ton and
everything in proportion. Potatoes
and coffee with your meals are ex
tras—Goodnight!!
Ben Nygren the white whale king
lost his hides. The steamer was
sunk by the Germans but he had
them fully insured.Give my
regards to all friends.
