From the cold, dreary wastes of
Northern Alaska may come the en-,
trant who will win the second annual!
Wianipeg-St. Paul dog race in Janu
ary.
Mrs. Pearl Howard, a six foot Ama
zon, is the tentative. She has driven
a team of six dogs BIO miles in eighty
five hours of actual traveling with the
temperature from 40 to 60 degrees be
low zero. Incidentally, she is a full
fledged prospector, miner, trapper and
hunter.
Asks If Eligible.
Wilbert Robert Mills, who will man
age this year's race, received a letter
from Mrs. Howard asking if she would
be eligible to race.
“1 have a team of seven Alaska dogs
which I would like to enter and drive
myself. T am well used to the winter
traua. Please reply immediately, as I
would have to drive BOO miles to get
a boat to the States, >' she wrote.
She lives at Tanana, Alaska, not far
from Fairbanks, from which she re
ceives mail twice a week—providing
roads are passable. Her dogs are half
McKenzie river husky and a quarter
each of greyhounds and Russian
wolfhound
to He-arrange Plan*
“Her entry, following that of Scotty
f Allan, Leonard Seppala and Fay Del
{ zene, all winners of the All-Alaska
sweepstakes from Nome to Candle and
back, 408 miles, causes an entire re
arrangement of our plans,” Mr. Mills
said.
“Frank Lovel, a mine owner of Al
aska, came to St. Paul this week to
confer with us on the race. He said
the three sweepstake winners were
anxious to enter our race.
Would Excel Canadians.
“But these men, accustomed to av
eraging more than 100 miles a day in
their races and equipped with far
speeder and more dogs, would not fur
nish a good race in competition with
thQ Canadian dog teams.
“The only fair thing to do would
be to run two races at the same time,
one for the Alaskan teams and one for
the Canadian teams. This would be
impartial and furnish race fans a
double treat.
"Mrs. Howard can enter the race if
she will drive only six dogs, the max
imum allowed in the Winnipeg-St
Paul race.”
Drove 16 to 20 Dogs.
Delzene won the big Alaskan race
in 1913, Allan in 1911 and 1912, and
Seppala in 1915 and 1916. They drove
from sixteen to twenty dogs.
Details of this winter’s Winnipeg-St
Paul race are not complete. It is
probable the race will be combined
with the car charity work In soma
manner, and profits turned over to the
Red Cross.
HIM Favors 1918 Race.
*
"Then a year later run two races,
one for the Canadians and one for
the faster men.
"I believe we could arouse great en
thusiasm by having a race this winter,
despite the war, and have it finish In
the downtown district, where more
persons eould witness it than last
year.
f
j "Then a big program could be given
at the Auditorium, at which the rac
| era would be featured.
Proceeds for Red Cross.
"Proceeds of the program eould be
turned over to the Red Cross for war
work.
"We are receiving Inquiries almost
daily from persons who want to enter
the Wlnnipeg-St. Paul race.
"I also believe a program of races
in which only St. Paul boys with pet
dogs are allowed to compete would
be successful. Dog racing last winter
certainly developed great enthusiasm."
Plans for a carnival this year are
rather nebular. All the bills for thn
past carnival are not paid a« yet. ans
with war in progress, those In charge
do not believe the usual program
would be desirable.
There Is some talk, however, of
having a few carnival events, at whleh
money would be raised for war pur
poses, and tha carnival organization
retained.
