There seems to be a disposition it*
some quarters to criticise on account
of the “expense” of maintaining a
naval patrol in Alrsknn waters *•>
prevent fish robberies and to ass»s4
otherwise in enforcing law in Alaska.
People are prone to estimate the
“expense” for the work pei formed by
the cost of maintaining the naval ves
sels used in commission.
This position is wholly fallacious.
The United States navy is maintained
and its ships kept in commission
whether there is any specific work
for it to perform or not. It must >e
so that it max be in read.ness for u —
should the necessity arrive. It is i
rule for all of the ships ot the navy
vhich a»e in commission to make
frequent cruises to keep the officers
and men in training. Usually these
cruises are made for no other purpose
than the welfare ot the service.
general is this the rule that one of
the problems the navy department
has always had to meet has been tin*
requests of x’arious commercial or
ganizations to have >h;ps of the nax’>
to visit their particular towns as fre
quently as possible and to stay

,ong as possible.
The snips which have been in Al
askan waters would have been cruis
ing sonic place anyhow*. I he lacl
mai mere was gootl work lor them to
do in Alaska made the training for
the nu n ail the more valuable. The
work that the navy lias done in Al
aska would be worth all and more
than it cost if it had been useful foi
no other purpose than giving the ot
Iicers anil men engaged necessary,
training.
I ue fact is, however, that the nuva.
patrol as performed a very mentor,
ous work in Alaska. Its presence has
done a great deal to supress fish pi
racy. and it performed excellent worst
in caring for the influenza and Bristol
bay sections. Its presence has given
many young officers and others a fa
miliarity with Alaskan waters, some
tiling that might become very valua
ble to the country.
Instead of criticising those who were
ins:rumental in hiinjjinjr the navai
patrol to Alaska, there should be
mit «1 effort on the part of every
body to have the navy department
'cn»l more ships to Alaskan waters.
The largest American naval fleet
that ever was assembled on the Pa
cific ocean has just come to the coas\
and all the seacoast towns of Ca!'
fornia. Oregon and Washington, are
now competing: for'the opportunit .*
to entertain the officers and crew*
and. of course, for the additions th«
would make to local payrolls. Ala- -
ka should tfet in line and urjre that
Alaskan towns be included amon*
those which they visit. Not onl ’
would the presence of some battle
ships in Alaska add to the volume of
Alaskan trade, but it would be educa
tional to our people and to those who
man the vessels.— Juneau Empire.

HAS CHAMPIONSHIP CREW
BI T TROPHY LEFT BEHIND
.SAN FRANCISCO, Aug.. 27— The
dreadnaught Arizona of the Pacific
fleet has the championboat crew of
the American navy, but the Prince of
Battcnburg trophy which goes with
the title had to he left behind in the
hands of the Atlantic fleet when the
Arizona was assigned to the West.
Prince Battcnburg of the Britisn
navy donated a cup to be held by the
ships new which won it in annual
competition. However he specified it
must he a ship of the Atlantic fleet.
The Trophy was donated fifteen or
nv»re years ago when the Atlantic
fleet was about all there was to the
American Navy.
San Francisco sporting enthusiasts
have been informed of the lack of a
Ivoptv f°r the* deciding crews of the
p*e Vic fleet and a movement was put
nrd« r »*ay for one to be donated from
this city.
It wr.s believed a suitable trophy
w mid 1 o given the fleet bv the Olym
nic club of San Francisco to be raced
or :n in'<u-fleet contests yearly or
pore often.

How to conquer
thirst!
I
If your thirst is a superficial one— (
or, if it is deep-rooted, RAINIER
SPECIAL will conquer it. This
unusual, fine-flavored, soft drink
does the one thing other soft
drinks fail to do—it really satis
fies. A bottle of it on a hot day
puts thirst to flight in a jiffy. A
bottle with lunch or dinner tops
either off perfectly. Come to
know this drink. There’s no other
like it—none to rival it. You can
purchase a lone bottle or a full
case. Stamp your memory with
its name—RAINIER SPECIAL.
