THE ROW IN THE NAVY

So far as can be gained from mssa of scattering reports the friction be- tween the various heads of the navy de- partment, which has resulted in the resignation of Rear Admiral Brownson from the head OI the bureau of navig- nation and which friction has been fret ting the parties to it tOr' lODG, was brought to head by the sailing of the great fleet.
 The great voyage is being uudersak- en without a hospital ship. Seeing what a very important factor the hos plsal ship is in all the real business of the navy, and seeing that this voyage is undertaken largely as g matter of train- ing for the entire fleet, this would ap- pear to the lsyman as an oversight. Surgeon-Geueral Rixey says 8 hospital ship should be with the fleet, and that if the bureau of medicine had had any voice in the matter there would have been one.
 Then comes Secretary MetcSli with his appointment oI surgeon to the command of the hospital ship Relief. contrary to all precedent, and Brown SOD resigns. His consentIOo is that medical officers know nothing about commanding a ship. Rizey says A naval officer knows nothing about hos pltals-aud that these ships are nothing but floating hOspitals-and that good, live naval officers ought not to want to command them.

Be may be properly deo0minated Charles the Bold who brought out that story OftwO hundred dollar pans on the Koyukuk. Ina the got past Fairbanks without our hearing from him canses one to think of him as rather sly Charles. It is not our business to cast reflections on anything in the nature of an Alaskan possibility, nor to hint that such a good thing might not come out of tbe dear old KoyuEuk, which has called so many into that far wilderness to their sorrow, Here's hoping that it Is true-that the KOyukuk has st last made good and heaven help us.

SKAGNAYS STAR TACKLE.

"He certainly is one of the best play CTS on the army eleven and I believe will in all probability captain the amy eleven year from this next season, when he will be in his last year at the academy"
 Then the P.-I, comments as follows: Pullen is well hnown in this city, where he spent four years as student at the State University. There he was only star football player, but added to that accompl shment the rather unusual combination of being also star stu dent. He came here from Skagway, Alasks, where bis mother is proprie- tress of the Pullen house. HIs broth CT, Royal, is following his ,xample by playing tackle on the eleven of the Washington high school
 Pullen was the first cadet appointed to the West Point academy from Alas ka. He made the eleven ID the first year he was at West Point-an unusual achie vc ment. Both in the season of a year ago and the last his name has been among the foremost in the reports of the army games.

Robert W. Forbes, who was appoint ed as coach of the army eleven, the first to receive such appointment out side the graduates of West Point iu years, is a graduate of Yale and just few weeks ago arrived in Seattle to en- gage in business. Be goes to Seattle because he thinks 1t Is, he says, 'the young nau's country" It was he who, 30 to speak, nominated the skagway msu, Dan Pullen, for the captaincy of the army eleveni n.hls senior year. He has very high opinion of Pullen. Ia au interview published in the P.=I., Forbes has this to say;
 "He Is one of the best tackles iu the country tOdOy,' he said: "He could go to Yale or to any other of the foremost universities of the country and take a position on the team as tackle.
 ''He Is one of the best tackles I have ever seen play the game, He has the weight, cool head, and all the skill which go to make really good football player Goes into the game for all that's in the game and plays like a Rhirlwind.

It Is said the Northern Navigation company, having put the matter to the test last year, Is about to introduce oil as fuel on their fleet of larger boats on the Yukon. There is DO doubt that the introduction of the oil burner has much to recommend 1t to the travelling public as we'll as the residents of Alas ka. It win shorten the time consumed in travel very mstsrially-thOse long tle-ups as the woodysrds, ItShould en- able the steamers to carry more freight in relieving them of the weight and space consumed by the bulky cords. It Is said to greatly reduce the cost of car rtags, and, therefore, 1t, should reduce the freight rate for the merchant as we'll as reduce the time iO getting his freight to him.
