“Scotty” Allen,
Dog Musher, to
Return to Nome
PORTLAND, Or., July 22.—Alex A.
• Allen, better known as “Scotty” Al
len, hero of the All-Alaska sweep
stakes, the classic dog-team race of
the continent, is spending a day or
two in Portland on his way back to
Nome, his home since 1900.
“Scotty” is returning to the north
; after having taken a big shipment of
| Alaskan dogs to Fra ice for the use of
the allies. Last winter he delivered
440 dogs to the French authorities,
they having been collected in Alaska
and Labrador.
“The dogs are for use by the Alpine
Chasseurs,” explained Mr. Allen.
“They were to be put to work hauling
ammunition to the artillery batteries
mostly over the snow, and they are
doing good work. I have heard from
them frequently since 1 left them over
there last winter.”
“Scotty” Is Hardware Merchant.
Mr. Allen has spent the past few
months in Berkeley, where his family
is located. Although the other Allens
will stay there, “Scotty” is going back
to Nome, where, strangely enough, he
is interested in a hardware store.
But nobody thinks of him as a mer
chant; he is known to sport followers
everywhere as the man who has won
more of the Nome sweepstakes than
any other. The All-Alaska classic
has been run nine years. In eight of
these Mr. Allen has been entered,
driving a dog team owned by himself
and Mrs. C. E. Darling.
In all eight races he has been in
the money, a record no driver ever
has made. He has won the race three
times, has been second three times
and he finished in third place twice.
Be it known that the sweepstakes,
with which all Alaskans especially are
familiar, is the most gruelling con
test imaginable. It is the limit of hu
man endurance. Beside it a 45-round
fight for the heavyweight champion
ship, with a complete coma for the
loser when the finish comes, becomes
merely a friendly contest in compar
: ison.
To the winner of the sweepstake
there is a liberal reward. The prize
varies with the year. The biggest
purse that Mr. Allen won was in 1909
when he received $10,000, several gold
watches and other gifts for driving
the Darling-Allen team into Nome
ahead of the panting packs of Mala
mutes that struggled along the trail
behind him.
Last winter, much to his regret,
“Scotty” was not in the race. He did
not return from taking his shipment
of dogs to the allies in time. Next
April he expects to be in again, and
he hopes to repeat his former suc
cesses.
After some of the flogs were sold
to the allies there are still 30 fine hus
kies left in the Darling-Allen kennels,
and from this collection Mr. Allen
expects to select a winning team for
the next race. The dogs are of mixed
blood, part Malamute and part bird
flog. The setter is preferred for this
crossing. Mr. Allen believes they are
superior to the Siberian wolves driv
en in the Alaska races.
But this veteran dog racer believes
, n improvement can be made over
the dog team for transportation over
the Alaskan snow fields and he has
been busy on it. At Oakland during
the past few weeks he has been help
ing build a motor sled that will be
tried out during the coining fall in the
Nome snow fields. The motor sled
will follow Mr. Allen north and he
will will give it a test when it reaches
him.
Mr. Allen is travgling by auto from
Berkeley to Seattle, where he takes
the steamer for Nome, as the guest of
Judge F. E. Fuller, of Fairbanks. Mr.
Fuller was formerly federal judge for
that district. Today the two will go
out over the Columbia river highway.
Late this month they will sail from
Seattle for Alaska.
