THE REVENUE CUTTER SERVICE

The other day the Daily Alaskan asked some questions directed to the usefulness of the United States revenue cutter service. While most of those who have lived long on the Pacific cost, where nearly every interest is directly or in directly associated with the sea, have appreciated the point of the queries, 8 few have questioned the justness Of the implied suggestion.
 Since the queries in question were made by this paper, late newspapers or Puget sound, just at hand, dis close that the worth or the worthless ness of this arm of the government service is being considered there. The failure of the Grant to render, or at tempt to render, any assistance to the Valencia, has made the question time ly. It also has served 10 bring to the front other disasters on Puget sound and at the entrance to the strait of Juean de Fuca, and the conduct of he revenue marine in connection herewith. In DO instance has it been recalled that the latter ever saved 8 life, though scores have perised with cutters within reaching distance Of them.
 So marked is this record that the col Iector of customs Of the Puget sound district, for the use of whom the sec retary of the treasury has Proposee the constru tion of 325O,OOO cutter, the bill appropriating the money for which passed the senate the other day, earn estly recommended that the project be abandoned, and that the money be used with which to establish lite-saving station at Neah Bay, to be equipped with a life.saving, ocean tug.
 As an excuse for the failure of the Grant to go to the relief of the Valen' cia victims it has been said that her boilers are worn and that she is unsea- worthy. This leads the Seattle Post Iutelligencer to say;
 "If the Grants boilers are in a condi- tion which rendered them unfit for sea service, they were not worn out in the work of rescuing life or property"
 Summing up the situation, the Seat tie Post-Intelligencer says:
 The revenue cutter service on the Atlantic has a record Of heroic work every winter in the saving ot endangered vessels and their crews which warns the heart of every man with red blood in his veins to read. The revenue cutterservice on the Pacific, aside from some splendid Arctic rescue work that it has done, apparently has little or no mission to perfom at the present time, save to protect the property rights of some San Francisco spectators who hold lease of the Pribylov islands from the gov ernment, and who exercise the privi- lege of butchering fur seals in sanctua' " there during the breeding season. The revenue cutters on this coast are dispatched to Boring sea for. this pur- pose each summer, and spend the win ter months tied up to city wharves, un- der-oing repairs iu order to fit the yes sels for another seasons work of patrol ling the private preserves of would-be monoDolists of the fur seal trade"

Moonlight Shut Off Last
 Night on Schedule

The total eclipse of the moon oc- cured last night on schedule time and under the most favorable conditions imaginable for observers. The night was as clear as a bell and the full moon came from behind the mountains re- splendent in all its glory light. Itwas as light ss day when it entered the shadow cast by the earth shortly after half past s o'clock. Gradually the shadow en- composed the complete orb and It re- mained in the shade for more than an hour and half before It began 10 emerge.
 Nearly everybody in skagway wit messed the natural phenomenon.

Those United States senators who are using every opening they are offered for an attack on President Roosevelt will lose more of the respect of the peo- pie than they will cause Mir.

Maximum, so degrees, minimum, q

sky effects were partly cloudy with
no precipitation of rain, sleet, or

was more flexible and although the
means for both days are the same
yesterday had the less range, thereby
being the steadier and making the

Quaker Eleven Has Won Three
Victories and Expects An
other One Saturday.
FRANKLIN COMES HERE,
CAPT. WANN AND HIS MEN CAN
ONLY HOPE TO KEEP DOWN
THE SCORE IN GAME WITH
WABASH TWO WEEKS HENCE.

There was a general rejoicing al
Earlham College yesterday because
of the splendid showing made by the
Quaker football team Saturday al
Springfield when it defeated Witten
berg College by a score of 4 to 0 on
a field which was sea of mud. The
members of the Earlham squad are
confident that Is or more points could
have been run up against the Luther
ans had the field been dry. As it was
the Quakers were unable to use mum
erous trick plays and end runs which
would have taken Wittenburg off her
fe6t.
- Three games have been played by
the Quakers this season and all three
have resulted in victories for the
yellow and white, and consequently
Coach Wilson's men have the win
ming spirit. Next Saturday Earlhanl
meets Franklin on Reid Field and the
game should prove an easy victory
for the Quakers. 1t is expected that
a top heavy score will be run up on
the visitors. Depauw Slaughtered
Franklin two weeks ago.
Saturday after next Earlham will
play the hardest game on her sche
dule. On that date the Quakers will
meet the crack Wabash team. which
defeated Purdue II TO 0 last Satur
day. and it is conceded that the Little
Giants" will take the Earlham eleven
into camp but the Quakers hope to
give them run for the money Earl
ham only hope for victory lies in the
probability that some OF the Wabash
players will receive injuries in the
Vanderbilt game next Saturday which
will keep them out of the Earlham
game
