old Uncle Johnny Woods, and Lee took great pains 
in raising the little dog, which soon got big enough to 
go with him for the cows, and proved to be very watch- 
ful. 
The dog had got to be about two years old when, 
one day, the Chinamen, who had ground his hatchet 
very sharp, made an assault on Berg, intending to mur- 
der him for his money. The first strike he made Berg 
threw up his right hand and the hatchet cut the thumb 
off. the next stroke spl't the hand. The dog was near 
and he grabbed the Chinaman hv the calf of the leg, 
and his attack on the Chinaman was so fierce that the 
Chinaman had to quit Berg and turn on 'the dog, who 
dodged his blows. Berg's ear was nearly severed from 
his head, but he ran when the Chinaman turned on the 
dog. As soon as the Chin.iman found Berg had escaped 
he left the house and started up the trail toward Flor- 
ence, which was tweVe miles away. 
After the Chinaman left Berg went into the house and 
bound up his wounds best he could, and it was not long 
before the expressman came by, and he went down on 
to the river, about four miles, and told the miners 
what had happened. It was not long before there was 
a big crowd, and as soon as they could get their horses 
ten of them started for Florence to get Lee. They 
found his tracks in the trail, but he had got to Florence 
ahead of them. There were at that time about 150 
Chinamen in the camp, and it was known that the 
•Chinaman would be secreted. When they got to camp 
they asked the Chinese boss if Lee had come. He said 
he "no see him," and he thought '"maybe he gone to 
Lewiston." The boys made a house to house hunt, and 
finally found Lee in between two beds. They pulled 
him out and found his legs badly bitten. They locked 
the Chinaman up, as it was too late to start to War- 
rens, which was the nearest place where there was a 
justice of 'the peace. They told the China; boss that 
they would take Lee and turn him over to the civil 
authorities at Warrens. Next morning early they left 
' when they got down to the wire bridge they 
ee to the center of the bridge, which is sixty 
i the water; then they went over to Cary's 
d for a couple of hours; then they cut the 
let Lee go down the river; after which they 
o camp, having done a good deed. 
■ Kt year Lang and Ryan came up to Camas 
JrTaine to buy cat:le and Berg brought over a couple 
of hundred head and turned them over to Lang and 
Ryan, who were camped at Crook's Corral, where they 
were receiving cattle every day. Having some steers 
out and not wanting them to follow the drove off, I 
was putting in several days at the corral. One morn- 
ing, before any cattle came in, some of the boys got 
Matt Ryan to try and buy Berg's dog. There must 
have been at least forty men standing around. Matt 
said to Berg, "What will you take for that dog?" 
"I don't vant to sell dat dog," Berg repHed. 
"Oh, that is not what I asked you. I asked you 
what you would take for him?" 
"Veil, I vuddent sell dat dog.'^ 
"I will give you $500 for him." 
Berg straightened up and said with much passion: 
"Matt Ryan, you and your fadder hain't got money 
enough to puy dat dog. For if it haddent peen for dat 
dog, Old Perg vuddent peen here now, and as long as 
dat dog lives I vill keep him mit me, and if he ties first 
I will purry him." 
The faithful dog was. lying down by his master and 
knew he was the subject under discussion, and he would 
roll UD his eyes, but when Berg emphasized his remarks 
vagged about a foot of the end of his tail, as 
to say, "You may buy all the cattle there arc 
)untry, but you can't touch me." 
well known that Ryan and Lang had bought 
ree States of Idaho, Washington and Oregon 
^ ,000 head of cattle. ' So you see there was one 
man, aiinough he had the r. r ntation of being penurious, 
had too much kind feeling to part with the best friend 
man ever had among the brute creation.

Treat Yout Dog WelU 
We love to hear a man praise the fine qualities, blood 
and traming of his dog, but we hate to see him turn 
around, yell at and kick the faithful brute to make 
him down charge. Training makes perfect dogs. We 
do not believe that a man that will kick his dog for 
every little mistake, or to make him mind, ought to own 
one. A dog is not trained perfectly in one lesson. This 
fact ought not to be lost sight of by some men with 
whom we are acquainted. Many a dog will act beauti- 
fully at home after a few lessons, but will be too nerv- 
ous to show off before a crowd. Failure to act promptly 
on his first exhibition does not warrant his being 
abused. The dog is the truest and most faithful friend 
of man and should be treated as such. 
For Cruising Yachtsmen. 
With the purpose of stimulating the interest in cruis- 
ing, and the keeping of a detailed log by cruising yachts- 
men during the season of 1902, the publishers of Forest 
AND Stream offer prizes for the best stories of cruises 
submitted to be published in Forest and Stream. It is 
believed that these will form not only entertaining records 
of pleasant summer days spent afloat along our coasts and 
waterways, but will furnish information of practical value 
to other yachtsmen makmg subsequent cruises on the 
same waters. 
Prizes will be awarded to the three best stories as fol- 
lows : 
First prize, $50.00. 1 ^ 
Second prize, $30.00. 
Third prize, $20.00. 
Contributions are invited under the following condi- 
tions : 
1. The cruise must be made in waters of the United 
States or Canada in the season of 1902. 
2. The cruise must be made in a sailing yacht, power 
to be used only as an auxiliary, if at all. 
3. The story must be prefaced by a description of the 
boat. Cruises should be treated in as interesting and 
readable a way as possible, but should be practical and 
contain all possible information and data that would be of 
mlue to men going over the same rout«. A description 
of the handling of the ship in all weathers will be re- 
garded very favorably in making awards, and it is sug- 
gested to writers that an accurate account be kept of all 
incidents happening while under way. 
4. An outline chart suitable for reproduction, showing 
the course taken, must accompany each article. When 
possible, articles should be accompanied by amateur photo- 
graphs taken on the cruise, including one of the boat 
Good photographs will be considered in making the 
awards. 
5. The story should contain about seven thousand 
words, written on one side of the paper only, and must 
be received at the office of the Forest and Stream Pub- 
lishing Company, 346 Broadway, New York city, on or 
before Nov. 15, 1902. 
Mr. T. C. Zerega has very kindly consented to act as 
judge and to make the awards.

lowing Thursday night to consider the challenge. A 
large number of members attended the meeting. Vice-

York: 
Dear Sir: I am requested by Sir Thomas J. Lipton, 
Bart., K. C. V. O., to forward you this challenge for 
the Amer'ca's Cup, subject to the same conditions as 
governed the last contest and which proved to be so 
satisfactory, namely, the best three out of five races over 
the same courses with like starts and other details. 
The first race to be sailed on Thursday, Aug. 20, 1903. 
The second race to be saded on Saturday, Aug. 22, 
1903. 
The third race to be sailed on Tuesday. Aug. 25, 1903. 
Further races (if any) to be sailed on each following 
Thursday, Saturday and Tuesday, until fin'shed. 
I, therefore, on behalf of the Royal Ulster Y. C, and 
in the name of Sir Thomas J. Lipton, a member of the 
club, cha'lenge to sail a series of ma ches with the yacht 
Shamrock III. aga'nst any one yacht or vessel con- 
structed in the United , States of America for the Amer- 
ica's Cup. 
The following are the particulars of the challenging 
vessel, viz: Owner, Sir Thomas J. Lipton, Bart.. K. 
C. V. O . ; name of yacht. Shamrock III.; length on load 
waterline, 90ft.; rig, cutter. 
The Custom House measurement will follow as soon 
as the vessel can be measured for registrat'on. 
I shall be much obliged if you will cable the receipt 
of this challenge. 
Hugh C. Kelly. 
Honorary Secretary, 
Royal Ulster Y. C. 
There is now building at the Townsenij & Downey Ship- 
building Company, Shooter's Island, from designs made 
by Messrs. C&ty Smith & Barbey, a stiel auxiliary cruis- 
ing schooner for Mr. JohTi M. Masury.'of New York city 
The yacht will be 120ft, over all, 90ft. waterline, 33ft. 4in! 
Mr. Cormack received the following letter in the same 
mail that brought the challenge : 
Osidge, Southgate, M'ddlesex, 
Oct. 7, 1902. 
Dear Mr. Cormack: You will receive by the same 
mail a communication from the secretary of the Royal 
Ulster Y. C. conveying a challenge on my behalf for a 
series of races for the America's Cup to take place next 
year. 
In view of the eminently satisfactory and complete 
arrangements made by your club for the two contests 
in which I have already been privileged to engage, I 
ask, as you will see from the terms of the challenge, 
no change wha'ever in the conditions which governed 
the last contest entered into by me. 
In thus desiring an opportunity of making a third at- 
tempt to obtain possess'on of the America's Cup, I hope 
I may not be deemed importune or unduly covetous of 
the precious trophy so long and so securely held in 
trust by the New York Y. C. Yours faithfully, 
Thomas J. Lipton. 
G. A. Cormack, Esq., Secretary New York Y. C, New 
York. 
Last spring the New York Y. C. discussed the 
advisab lity of changing its present measurement rule. 
At this ti me. Sir Thomas. Lipton wrote Commodore 
Ledyard^ as ta its effect on the boats that raced for the 
America's Cup.: The Tetters that passed between these 
two gentlemen follow:. ■ 
City Road, London, E. C, 
' May 2, 1902. 
■ My D ear Commodore: With reference to the reports 
which have, recently appeared in the press concerning 
, a suggested change . in' the measurement rules of the 
New York Y. C, there is at present considerable specu- 
lation in yachting circles here as to whether such 
change is- likely to be made, and if made, whether it 
would apply to the contests for the America's Cup. 
The prevailing idea is that in view of the great doubt 
which exists as to whether or tiot the rules will be al- 
tered, and the fconse-quent uncertainty as to the type of 
boat, with -whtch it Would be necessary to challenge, and 
also of the fact that for a contest in 1903 the design of 
the challenger would require to be commenced shortly 
no one would under the circumstances care to consider 
the advisability of challenging for next year, 
I , should Hke much if .you could throw any light on the 
matter and especially advise me whether,- in the event 
of the club deciding to change the rules, such • change 
would apply to the A-merica's Cup races.
