’ DOG DERBY IS
SET FOR ST.
PATRICK’S DAY
THE PASS, Manitoba, Beb. 9.—
* Teams from many parts of the North
land will start March 17, St. Patrick’s
Day, in the third annual 100 mile
Hudson’s Bay Dog Derby over the
snow trails between The Pas and
Sturgeon Landing and return. About
fifty teams may enter.
A purse of $1,000 and a huge silver
and gold cup will be presented to
the winning driver. The cup, which
stands over three feet in height, was
given by Frank Burns, a Toronto
sportsman. Wagers on the race pro
bably will be heavy.
The Hudson’s Bay derby, it is gen
» erally conceded, has taken the place
in the sporting world of the aban
doned All-Alaska Sweepstakes race
held every spring at Nome, for sev
eral years.
Greyhounds will be entered in the
Hudson’s Bay race this year for the
first time. Alongside of them will
run sheep dogs, Alaska malamutes,
oollies and dogs of other breeds.
Some of the teams will contain dogs
of several breeds.
The winning driver must pilot his
* sled and dogs the entire distance
without stopping and must return
with all his dogs either on his sled
or in the harness. Last year the
distance was negotiated in fifteen
hours.
“Mushers” from Alaska trails, from
the Canadian prairies and from the
. Indian camps nearby will be among
the drivers. ^ One Alaska entry, Wal
ter Goyne, known as the “Going Kid”,
has brought a team of veteran racers
here from southwestern Alaska. B.
Bjorkman, a Winnipeg driver, may
pilot a team of five collies. Dr.
Brooks of Brandon, Man., is training
a team of sheep dogs and greyhounds
for the race.

Prices above quoted are all for No. 1 best grade furs. Lower grades, in
cluding pale skins, priced in proportion.
WE ARE THE LARGEST DEALERS IN RAW AND MANUFACTURED
FURS IN THE NORTHWEST, and all we ask of you, Mr. Shipper, is to give
us the chance of a trial shipment and we will convince you that we pay moKr
for furs and make quicker returns than you can get anywhere in the country.
We have been in business in Alaska for 36 years and have built up a very
extensive trade. We sell manufactured furs in all parts of the United States-,
Canada, and in a great many European cities.
By shipping to us you are not only helping an Alaska industry but you are
helping yourself to build up a business that belongs to Alaska.
We eliminate the middleman entirely, as we buy direct from the trapper and
trader and sell direct to the consumer; thus we are able to pay you a better
price than you can get elsewhere. WE MAKE RETURNS THE SAME DAY
SHIPMENT IS RECEIVED.
If so desired, when your shipment amounts to $100 or more, we will wire our
bid, and if not entirely satisfactory you may wire at our expense and we will
ship to any place you designate.
All we ask of you is to be fair with yourself as well as with us, and make us>
a trial shipment; the result will make you a steady shipper.
