10 ALASKA DEPENDS UPONITS DOGS No Food or Mail Could be Handled Without Them Without the dogs all traveling in Alaska for seven or eight months of the year, except on the government railroad to Fairbanks and two or s three other very short lines, would be impossible and neither food nor maii could be taken into the Interior of the country. The territory is dependent upon its dogs. The rivers freeze early in October, as n rule, and the ice does not break until May. While many of the dog trails follow the courses of the rivers. irm |iiiiniia^ra ILjr The finishing touch after^Kfl IVfl/ the bath—a shower of Hi ■ 1/ dainty, violet-scented keeps the skin soft, cool, healthy, and I fragrant with the breath of Neapolitan W p violets.

The common way of "mushing," or traveling by dog sled, Is the single file, seven animals usually being em ployed. The head dog Is the leader and Is trained to keep the animals strung out so that they do not become en tangled In their harness and traces and so that they are all pulling in the one direction. Tandem driving has be come much more common than it was during the early rush of goldseekers to Alaska. This is done with either five or seven dogs, the leader being In advance by himself. Fifty pounds per dog, or 350 pounds a seven-day team. Is considered by experienced Alaskan drivers as the proper amount if one wishes to get speed out of his dogs or is making a long .iourney. Often the load is 100 pounds per dog and occasionally, tor short journeys, 200 pounds. The malamutc, the native Alaskan Eskimo dog, and the "husky," ob tained by interbreeding "outside" strains with the "Siwash," the native Indian dog. are the best sied animals to be obtained. Cross breeding has led to many strains in dogs employed in Alaskan travel, but none has been found to surpass the malamute and the husKy, mainly because their toes are close to gether with no hair growing between them thus preventing them from get ting sere feet from the snow balling up. The collie has been found to be the most intelligent dog for a leader, but the collie's desire to dp all the work himself (",-hereas the leader should do nothing but lead) causes him to use up his strength. Crosses Iwtth the setters and pointers stand the cold and the strenuous work ex cept that their toes are hairy and they easily get sore feet. The ordinary value of a dog in Alaska is $25. In the time of a "stam pede" of gold seekers this may jump to SIOO and $l5O. Dogs are employed by the Christian missionaries in the Interior of Alaska to visit, members of their scattered flocks and to bring patients into their hospitals. Along the Yukon, where the Protestant Episcopal church is tn charge of all protestant work among both Indians and Eskimos, the dis tances are great and the missions few and these- dogs are found of inesti mable value. More of them will be used in the work of Christianizing the natives as a result of the nation-wide campaign of the Episcopal Church to expand all its activities at home and abroad, as more funds and mot® workers will be made available for Alaska. _____ Catholics Plan For Second Annual Picnic The annual Catholic picnic will be held at Hershey Thursday.
