Newspaper Page TextTHE 3IOnXING OREGONIAN. THURSDAY, JTJLT 20. 1916. ALASKAN CAN NES IKE GOOD If! WAR "Scotty 440 " A linn UfUn n . I Dogs to French, Is Portland Visitor. SPORTSMAN OFF TO NOME Noted Dog-Race, Veteran, Whose largest Purse in Single Event Is $10,000, to Be Ready for 1917 Races Within 30 Days. Alex A. Allen, better known as "Scotty" Allen, hero of the All-Alaska Sweepstakes. . 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 nortl after having- taken a. bis shipment of Alaskan doers to. France 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; ammu nition to the artillery batteries mostly, over the snow, and they are doing: good work. I have heard from them fre quently since I left them over there last Winter." "Scotty" la Hardware Merchant. Mr. Allen nas spent the past few months in Berkeley, where his family is located. Although the other Aliens 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 follow ers 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 theso Mr. Allen has been entered, driv ing a dog team owned by himself and Mrs. C. E. Darling. In all eight races he has been In the money, a record no other driver ever lis 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 contest imaginable. It is the limit of human endurance. Beside it a. 45-round fight for the heavyweight championship, with a complete coma for the loser when the finish comes, becomes merely & friendly contest in comparison. Biggest Money Won SIO.OOO. 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 19J9 when he received $10,000, several gold watches and other gifts for drivin the Darling-Allen team into Nome ahead of the panting packs of Malamutes 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 successes. After some of the dogs were sold to the allies there are still 30 fine hus kies left in the Darling-Allen kennels, and from this collection Mr. Allen ex pects to select a winning team for the next race. The tiogis are of mixed blood, part Malamute and part bird . idog. The setter is preferred for this crossing. Mr. Allen believes they are superior to the Siberian wolves driven in the Alaska races. But this veteran dog racer believes an 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 helping build a motor sled that will be tried out during the coming Fall in the Nome unow fields. The motor sled will fol low Mr. Allen north and he will give It a test when It reaches him. Mr. Allen Is traveling by auto from Berkeley to Seattle, where he takes the steamer for Nome a the guest of Judre J. K. 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. started rehearsing. The Seattle choir also will participate. SUPREME JUDGE TESTIFIES Fees Asked in Defunct Bank Case Fair, Says Mr. McBride. Justice McBride, of the State Su preme Court, testified yesterday in Cir cuit Judge Gantenbeln's court that the fees demanded by Attorneys Sidney J. Graham and L H. Van Winkle In con nection with the American Bank & Trust Company case are not exorbitant. The two attorneys are asking for a fee which is one-third of the amount of the judgment they obtained against L. O. Ralston, one of the debtors of the defunct bank. The committee of cred itors and depositors object to this. The judgment obtained Is for $25,200 and represents nearly three years' litiga tion. A motion of the creditors and depos itors for a jury was overruled. The hearing will be continued Satur day.

The Helix municipal natatorium has been completed and soon will be in use. The pool is 30 by 75 feet and the depth ranges from three and one-half to eigne feet. The pool has been provided with a circulator to stir the water and keep it alive. for the employment by the city of 25 additional policemen. Another emer gency ordinance also was passed pro viding for the appropriation of enough money from the general fund to pay the salaries of the 25 patrolmen for the rest of the fiscal year. The salary for each was fixed at $80 a month. Mayor Albee gives as the reason for the addition of 25 new men to the police force the need of additional men on the waterfront. As conditions now are," said the Mayor, "we have had to take men from thtir regular beats in order to police the waterlront properly, with the new men we will be able to police the waterfront with men who have been on the force for some time, and allow the new men to cover their beats." -W aiting List Available. Mayor Albee has maintained that the best plan was to police the waterfront with uniformed patrolmen instead of with deputies in plain clothes. It is hi belief that more respect will be shown for the man in uniform, and, therefore, less trouble will result. The 25 new men will be taken a they are needed from the waiting list no new examination being necessary. It is thought not all the men will be needed at once, and when the emer gency has passed it is possible that the force again will be reduced. How ever, $S6o was appropriated from th general fund to pay the salaries of th new officers. Other ordinances were introduced and passed with emergency clauses at tached. One of them provided for th employment of J. H. Keller as super intendent of installation on the me chanical equipment for the new Audi torlum. His salary was fixed at $100 a month. He was recommended to th commissioner of public affairs by th superintending architects, Whitehouse & Fouilhoux. Sew Antomoblle Anthorised. The sale of the old automobile use by the Department of Public 'Works was authorized, and bids will be is sued by the purchasing agent for new machine. Commissioner - Dieck said that the old machine had been too much of an expense. In his re quest for a new car he said that re pairs soon would have to be made that would amount to $250. The purchasing agent was author Ized to buy palm fiber on the open market, being unable to get any bid for furnishing the material. He was restricted to expend only that amoun named in the yearly appropriation for such material. The claim of Martin McCarthy, dis charged sewer inspector, for May and June salary, mounting to $180, was dis allowed. Sewer Odors Protested. A. Bonham appeared before the Council and asked relief from the odor arising from the catch basins on the Montavilla sewer. He asserted that the odor, particularly in warm weather, was unbearable, and that many of the residents along the sewer had placed hemp sacks on the catch basins to get relief. An estimate of Hans Pederson, con tractor on the Auditorium, for amount due on bis contract, was received. The bid of J. H.

WOMEN TO GET AID Industrial Training for oners Is Planned. Pris- SEWING TO BE TAUGHT Slayor Albee Backs Municipal Judge Langguth's Flan by Ordering Purchase of Materials for Vse by Inmates. Pursuant to a letter received yes terday from Municipal Judge Langguth asking for an appropriation with which to buy materials. Mayor Albee yester day ordered requisitions made out for the purchase of dress goods and other needed articles for the establishment of industrial training for the women occupants of the City Jail. The plan has long been under, consideration by Judge Langguth, but until yesterday no definite action had been taken. The entire plan of furnishing the women prisoners with employment was explained In detail m tne letter to Mayor Albee, and it received his hearty indorsement. udge Langguth proposes to furnish the women with material with which to make articles of clothing, later to be sold to interested persons or to the women themselves. Women "Willing to Sevr. There are at present two sewing ma chin6S at the disposal of the women prisoners, many of whom have taken advantage of them. But there have been no funds to supply dress goods so that the women's work could be turned into a city asset, as well as a social benefit. According to Judge Langguth's pres- ent plan, he proposes to supply the matrons with a small stock of dry goods, such as cotton goods, cotton flannel, cambric, lawn and linen, threads, needles, crochet hooks and yarn, and kindred supplies. He pro poses to have the women prisoners taught plain sewing, crocheting and other needle work. The proceeds from the sale of dresses and other articles of clothing made at police headquarters Judge Langguth proposes to put into a general fund for the purchase of additional mate rials for manufacture. Credits to Be Allowed. Judge Langguth's plan also includes the payment of women prisoners for actual work performed. He proposes to pay the women 15 cents for each eight hours employed, limiting the number of hours of employment a day to four. Also he proposes that for each such eight hours of work per formed the woman shall receive a credit of one day on her sentence. "If it be found in working out this experiment." continues the letter to the Mayor, "that the aprons, corset covers. underwear and other articles of fancy work, produced by the Inmates, sell for a sum greater than I am now expect ing, then the cash to be paid to the Inmates on being released can be In creased to a greater sum than 15 cents per eight hours, and might be as high as 25 cents a day. The plan of Judge Langguth will he put into effect probably by August 1 Mrs. Eliza Dickinson Dies. KELSO. Or., July 19. (Special.)
