+" SCOTTY" ALLAN,
DOG TRAINER
WINNER OF ALL-ALASKAN
RESIDENT OF CHELAN COUN-
TY AND WELL KNOWN HERE.

The Seattle Post-Intelligencer of
Monday night contained an interest
ing story regarding "Scotty' Allan,
who won the A1l-Alaskan sweep
stakes dog team race. The story in
itself is an interesting one, but is
especially so for the fact that "Scot-
ty'' lived In this county for several
years, making his home at Leaven-
worth and is very well known in this
city. Allan was practically raised
by P. D. Sutor, of Burch Flat. The
following is the P.-I. story:
Greatest of all dog drives in the
world winner of the classic Alaska
sporting event, the All-Alaskan
sweepstakes dog race at Nome last
April, A. A. Allan, "Scotty" Allan, as
he is known to friends and all Alas
kans, came down from Nome on the
St. Croix to spend a well-earned va
cation at the exposition. A wiry lit
tie Scotchman, standing five feet
four and one-half inches is this
"Scotty." At AZ he is as spry as a
high school boy, and every pound
of the $50, which makes his weight.
is filled with an energy that makes
the whole a tireless machine.
1t was a pleasant greeting that oc-
Cured between "Scotty" Allan ana
Jake Berger, the owner of the team
which the former drove over a bliz-
Zard-driven trail of 40S miles, last
April, to victory, when the st. Croix
pulled into her dock. With $4,000
in gold, a cup valued at $4,000, and
with the second prize of $500 to
his credit, which he won with the
Berger No. 2, Mr.. Berger has been
anxiously waiting full details of the
race, having been in Montreal when
it was run. When "Scotty' came
down the gang plank the dog race
was begun and run all over again,
and the two men went over every
foot of the way until Mr.. Berger
knew the whole affair as if he had
been there in person.
The Wenatchee daily world. [volume] (Wenatchee, Wash.) 1905-1971, 1909-06-29

By the time the two men reached
the Butler Annex, where they are
registered, Jake Berger found that
while his two teams had won and
he was $4,000 to the good, much of
the money had been expended in
purchasing and training dogs during
the long winter and that he was
just about even with the game. 1t
mattered not, however, for he has a
comfortable fortune, paystreak
which has not had the ends tapped
as yet, and above all he is a true
sportsman
Ever since his boyhood days in
Scotland, Allan says, he has been
fond of horses and dogs. He made
companions when a lad, and when
he came to North Dakota with blood
ed horses in 1887, he liked the wild
free life of the men and animals.
He says he loved the range horses
just for their wildness. Then he
came to Seattle in later years with
the Great Northern railway, for all
his life he has followed work with
a pen, while his pastimes have been
with animals. Then came the stam-
pede in 1897 to the Klondike and
'Scotty" Allan was the first to go.
1t was his first sight of dogs working
in harness, and from the moment he
first looked at them until the pres
emit day "Scotty" Allan has always
had string of dogs. Although he
is president of the school board at
Nome, secretary of the Darling &
Dean Hardware company, the largest
in Alaska, ana an official of several
other companies and societies, he
will always leave his business cares
to enter a racing competition.
"Scotty" Trains the Dogs.
When Mr. Berger came out last
fall he entrusted his dogs, score
in number to "Scotty" leaving a
good sized bank account to see that
they were properly trained During
the winter the latter tried all the
dogs and with the purchase of few
selected animals entered Berger's
two teams. He also did something
which was the surprise of everyone
in Nome. All winter he kept using
big heavy basket sled in training
his team. He was laughed at, but
told all that he wanted a sled that
would stand any kind of usage.
About half hour before the race
he brought out a sled that has never
had an equal in the north. Although
twelve feet long it weighed but 81
pounds, and feature of its construc-
ton was the use of every D violin
string that could, be purchased in
Nome, which were used for lashing
the joints. This spring there was
lack OF music owing to this. His
