ACTRESS IN U3ADIJTG SKETCH AT, PASTAGES. rejjon Rookies, Including Members of Portland Lawyers Auxiliary, AVork Side ly Side Witli Regulars. Landing places have looked good to members of the Oregon Naval Militia throughout their 18 days of annual cruise aboard the United States cruiser Marblehead, but no place has looked so good as the pier at the foot of Jeffer son street in Portland, where the ship tied up at 5:30 o'clock last night, bring ing her 2500-mile journey to Sitka, Alaska, and other ports to an end. It was a successful cruise and one which has greatly increased the effi ciency of the Naval Militia. Everybody enjoyed the trip in spite of the hard work and the discomforts which are a part of life in the Navy, and every body came back knowing much more about the naval warfare game than when the trip was started. Incidentally the men got to see an interesting part of the far North. The cruise was more beneficial than past trips of the kind, it is said, because the militiamen had to run the ship. There were only 65 regulars aboard, which meant that the great bulk of the work in all lines fell on the civilian tars. They handled everything with credit, from running the ship to han dling the guns and machinery. On the way up the river the ship was greeted and saluted by groups of people on the banks of the river and by boat and mill whistles. Upon en tering the Portland harbor, the militia land played and the men all, stood at attention. Hundreds of people were gathered at the Jt fferson-street pier to welcome the homeconiers. They cheered as the ship slowly moved into her berth. The men were released soon after docking. Ships Miss Connections, The cruise was started July 15, when the ship left the Jefferson-street pier for a two-day run to Port Angeles, "Wash., to join the cruiser New Orleans and the battleship Oregon and steam to Sitka in squadron formation. The ships missed connections and went singly and returned singly, although all were at Sitka together. The Marblehead passed only one day at Sitka. Everybody was given ample time to take in the quaint sights of the historic village. The return was via the outside passage, as was also the trip northward. The next stop was Port Angeles. After a day there the cruiser went to Bremerton, where 260 tons of coal was taken aboard. Coaling ship was found to be a strenuous duty not much en Joyed, but a. necessary part of the Navy service. Drilling started as soon as the trip was begun. Gun crews were organized among the sailors and the marines and daily during good weather the crews were put through strenuous practice, The lawyers' auxiliary of the Militia, represented by 17 attorneys of Port land, participated in the drills and the ship's work side by side with the rest of the militiamen and regulars. On the way up the river yesterday the men were all paid off. Paymaster Dow handed out checks to each of the men for the amount of pay due for the cruise, ranging from flO to 4a, ac cording to rank. A campaign will be started soon to increase the membership of the or ganization. It is probable that durini the Summer a series of river trips will be taken on the ship.

(Special.) Warrants of arrest were issued here yesterday for p. W. Goit, of Roseburg; James Ambrose. Jr.. of Yoncalla, and N. C- Olson, of Gardiner. The men are charged with receiving more than two quarts of whisky within 28 days, as provided by the state prohibition law. Despite the fact that the war in Eu rope has practically stopped the Impor tation of toys from countries across the ocean, where a large part of those sold here was formerly made, the kiddles of Portland will be visited by Santa Claus as usual next Winter. And he will carry the same old stock of playthings in his inexhaustible bag. Toys that were formerly secured in Germany, France and Switzerland for the little ones of the United States are now being made in this country. This was the statement made by attaches of several of the big department stores of this city yesterday. Local establish ments" have already placed their or ders for Yuletide presents of this sort and they are expected to arrive here some time next month. Despite the peace propaganda, war news has apparently had Its effect on the local toy market, and already there is strong demand for toy soldiers and naval vessels, especially submarines. Outside of these two, there seem to be no pronounced fads, and the usual run of playthings will probably reach their normal sales. "The demand for soldiers is greater than I have ever known it to be, even now. long before the approach of the Christmas holiday season," said P. M. Diederich. assistant manager of the toy department of one of the ; large stores. "While the general run Is for American, the sympathies of many in the European war are reflected in their purchases of the toy soldiers for their children, and there Is & good demand for toy soldiers representing all the nations at war. "Because of the war, practically all of the toys are now being made here. Japan has tried to get into the Ameri can market, but the toy goods made there are so inferior, despite the cheap ness of them, that the manufacturers of that country have made no head way in thia country. While I hope that American manufacturers will hold the trade they have secured, that is a matter which only the future can de termine." "Toy submarines, and made in Ger many, seem to be the fad this year," said A. R. Palmer, manager of the toy department in another department store, "and I am afraid the supply will not equal the demand. We secured a limited number, that were purchased In Germany before the war started, and were recently brought to New York. "Germany baa always been the lead ing toy-producing country of the world, and despite the fact that the American manufacturers are now supplying the trade. I am afraid that Germany will get back the trade lost In this branch of industry as soon as the war ends and business becomes normal again over there. "There are two reasons for this. Ger many seems to excel in the production of many toy articles, especially dolls, and, because of conditions there, has always been able to make them cheaper than they can be made here."
