SIXTEEN DAY TRIP
SEATTLE TO FAIRBANKS
There reached Fairbanks last night
three mushers who came through
from Seattle In a hurry. The total
time amounted to only sixteen days,
which is covering the water and the
ground pretty fast for this season of
the year. Especially Is this true
when It Is considered that the men
mushed from Chltina to Fairbanks, n
distance of 306>4 miles over the big
trail. In ten days. This is over 30
miles a day. The men report that
there is a good firm foundation to the
snow and the mushing good in most
places.
All three nre old Northerners,
which accounts for much, in the ra
pidity with which they traveled,
fleorge [Hondo returns here after a
long absence, while the Carpenter
Brothers have been in Fairbanks be
