II. S. DESTROYER
MAKES RECORD
(Jreat Run from West Coast by
Newly Constructed ( raft
Officially Reported
WASHINGTON, July 16.—Complet
ing a record run from a Pacific coast
port to an Atlantic port — approxi
mately 5.858 miles — in 14 days 10
hours and *20 minutes, the destroyer
Shaw, constructed on the Pacific coast,
reported ready for immediate service,
and a few hours later proceeded to the
station to which she was assigned.
The Shaw made a record-breaking
passage through the Panama canal—5
hours and 45 minutes. The best per
formance previously was 6 hours and
20 minutes.
With less than five days’ prelimin
ary shaking-down work at sea, the
Shaw left a Pacific coast port May 25
at 4:10 p. m., and arrived at its At
lantic destination at 2:*'»0 a. m., June
9, making the following records cn
route:
487 miles. 24 MO hours.
2,945 miles, 174 *u hours.
1,785 miles, 91 3-10 hours.
The average cruising speed was 18
knots an hour; including stops, the av
erage was 15 4-10 knots an hour, an
easy gait for the Shaw, which is ca
pable of 30 knots an hour.
Secretary Daniels has written a let
ter of commendation to the command
ant under whose supervision the de
stroyer was constructed, in which he
sa\s.
“The Shaw’s immediate readiness
for service after her completion is a
matter of great satisfaction to the de
partment, and the department extends
its commendation to all who had to do
with the construction of the Shaw.”
The keel of the Shaw was laid in
February, 1916, and she was completed
in about 15 months.

Hoerle, was taken seriously ill. He
was helped out in the emrgency by

SUNDAY’S
SERMONS
“Helping Where Necdf* ft!cr4" was
the theme for discourse at tin* Ivleiito
dist church last night.
Rev. Patton said:
“If men were as sincere to help
where they are most needed as th y
should be, or as God would have them
to be, it would settle many of our most
perplexing problems. It would solve
the difficult matter of obtaining m n
for certain kinds of labor while there
is, under the present conditions, an
over supply in another. God saw ;it
in many instances to remove men from
their pleasant home environments and
vocation and carry them to distant
lands in order to make provision for
a coming necessity. The se»ling ot Jo
seph into Egypt is but one of a long
series of such events. Some have seen
only the dark side of such examples,
but God in his sacrificing love has seen
tit that man take into account the good
of humanity and not magnify his own
pleasures or desires in life. It is not
pleasant for the physician, for in
stance, to be awakened in the middle
i of the night and go long distances to
administer to the needs of suffering
i humanity, nevertheless, society at on *e
realizes that he is not worthy of his
vocation if he does not arise and face
the most bitter storm. If we apply
this principle to the religion of Jesus
Christ, we at once see that the author
of the statement, Hebrews 2:2, is jus
titled in saying, “How shall we escape
if we neglect so great a salvation? ’

RAISE IN PAY FOR
ROAD COMMISSION MEN
FAIRBANKS, July 14. — Road Su
perintendent R. J. Sommers here has
been authorized to increase the pay of
his labor fifty cents per day, in a
wire from Col. W. 1‘. Richardson. This
means that men who have heretofore
been getting $4 per day of eight hours
will now draw $4.50. Employees
working by the month, excepting su
perintendents, foremen, chauffeurs and
regular office employees, get a raise of
$15 per month. This* increase means
a raise in the local pay roll of the
commission of about $100 per day.
The raise is supposed to be due to the
increased cost of living.
