NAVY DAY
For the past several years the
an effort to recall to the minds of
Navy League of the United States, in
the people of our country the glori
ous traditions of our Navy, has setj
aside a day for this purpose. The
day chosen is the 27th of October a
most fitting choice in that it is the
birthday of one of our greatest men,
Theodore Roosevelt, who while presi
dent was responsible for the perfec
tion of naval gunnery, and a general
uplift in the efficiency of this branch
of the public service.
To a nation whose coast line is so
extensive as that of the United States
an adequate and efficient navy is in
deed an insurance of continued peace.
Any nation having designs on that
peace fould hesitate to attack, to ag
gravate or trespass on the rights or
liberties of a well armed America.
The Navy points with pride to our
illustrious leaders of other years who
by their unswerving devotion to coun
try helped in its preservation. What
school boy or girl but whom is fam
ilies with the names of Paul Jones,
Barry, Decatur, Perry, Dewey and
Sims whose deeds of valour are •writ
ten in the everlasting history of our
country.
In peace the activities of the Navy
are equally important. To Alaskans
the Navy in the past few years has
meant an assurance of uninterrupted
communications with the outside
world. Now that the new army ca
ble has been installed some may
have the opinion that the Navy’s ef
forts in this respect are at an end;
this is far from the fact. The Navy
through its communication service is
performing a valuable duty in aiding
shipping in Alaskan waters through
its radio compass service as well as

try at large the Navy performs still
greater service in the protection of
American interests in foreign lands,
extending the sphere of American in
fluence by maintaining and preserv

The Navy of today is One Hundred
Percent. American and is entitled to
the pride and respect of every Am

on this 27th of October while rev

Our Navy, the Nation’s first line of

CAPT. JOHN H. HUGHES
GOING TO WASHINGTON
Capt. John H. Hughes, colonization
agent for the Alaska Railroad, left
on the steamship Northwestern this
morning for Washington, I). C., where
he will make a report on his activi
ties direct to Secretary Work.
In addition to having compiled
exhaustive data on the prdouctive
ness of the soil and general condi
tions affecting the farmer, Captain
Hughes has accumulated valuable
exhibits which will be taken to
Washington, D. C., to fortify the
claim that Alaskan agricultural de
velopment s entitled to every aid
■within the power of the Govern
ment. Many of these exhibits are
now in Seattle, where they were
shown under the auspices of the
Young Men’s Business Club, at the
recent All-Alaskan fair, held in the
Sound City.
With these exhibits Captain
Hughes will show' Congress some
acts calculated to inspire liberality
with respect to the colonization
plan on which Captain Hughes has
been w'orking.
Before going to Washington, Cap
tain Hughes will visit his old home
at San Francisco, w'here he* will
spend some time.
Captain Hughes came to Alaska
for the purpose of carrying
out the work he has just completed
and with a view to eventually secur
ing the establishment of a coloniza
tion system in connection with the
Alaska Railroad. It is known that
he put the matter up to Colonel
Lanuis who shelved it and placed
Captain Hughes in cha»g3 of the

Smith detailed him on ths survey,
work.
When Captain Hughes appears in
Washington, he will have the advan
tage of the information he has ac
cumulated and that of being an
oldtimer in the Territory. He came
to Dawson, Y. T., in the spring of
1899 and remained tlierfe seven
years where he was engaged in the
wholesale mercantile business and
steamboating on the Yukon and
Tanana rivers. He knows his Alaska
thoroughly and much is expected to
come of his latest effort to all the
Territory.
When Fairbanks was established,
Captain Hughes went to that point
where he remained several years. He
was active in many other Interior
centers, including Tatlanika. He
remained until coming to Alaska with
Colonel Lee H. Landis.

Anchorage Republicans
Drop Murray from List
Because he is alleged to be sup- j
porting Dr. W. W. Council, demo-1
cratic nominee for Senator, Joseph:
Murray, Republican candidate for the
Territorial house of representatives,'
has been read out of the party by j
the Anchorage Republican club. The
club, in explaining its reasons for j
chastising Mr. Murray, says:
“The Anchorage Republican club
wishes to explain its reasons for
with drawing its support of Joe Mur
ray, after he had been nominated at
the primary with the support of the
Club.
It was rumored he was supporting
Dr. Council and others on the Dem
ocratic Ticket for office and he
was given a chance by wire to deny
this support. In the absence of
a direct reply and with the positive
statements of several reliable men
in Cordova that Mr. Murray was sup
porting candidates on the Democra
tic Ticket, we could not consistent
ly advise Republican Voters to vote
for him. Had Mr. Murray stood by
the Party nominees, he would have
had the Anchorage Republican club
with him to a man, and the fact that
h£ is working for the Democratic no
minees, is the only reason the club
holds for withdrawing the support he
would have otherwise had.
W. S. Perkins, Loet Melemeur, and
Sig Svendsen of Cache creek, arriv
ed in town Saturday, leaving on the
Northwestern for the States.
