"Mushing 101" Question 2

[glengarrian]

I'm at that awkward age old enough to remember the staccato of morse code in th elocal train depot but not old enough to know anything about how they might have handle telegraph traffic in '08- '17 It seems if one knew morse code then they could tap out race info as the teams passed the telegraph pole the telegraph operator was assigned to. That is to say info could theoretically be transmitted between check points. The writings of the day seem to hint at that. eg. The bets were changed and changed again in ways reminiscent of the stock market. That level of activity seems to indicate a pretty steady stream of info or maybe a just a higher degree of inebriation than I'm experiencing!
Any thoughts? (Besides, another round)

the telegraph the infromation superhighway stop race info from 200 miles away could be sent through the wire to the station in Nome stop runners could pass the latest info down the streets of Nome to the saloons stop miners with gold in their pockets wiskey in their glass belly to the bar place your bets stop what a wild and exciting time in Nome stop
