The grand army of the republic is rap
idly increasing and it is surprising the
number of new posts that are being or
ganized. On the first of May last there
were 242 posts of the G. A. R. in the
United States, and on the first of October
the number was swelled to $40. These
posts contain all the way from twenty five
to five hundred members.

The New Orleans Times Democrat of
Tuesday says: THE gay and festive
roustabout is presenting issues that the
steamboatmen will have to meet squarely
sooner or later, the sooner the better.
They quit boat under way when and
where it suits, sue for trips wages, and
eight times out of ten get it. The jump
wages up at their own sweet will. and on
two occasions recently successfully de-
manded a change of mates before they
would ship. Submission originates ex-
actions, fact that is making itself
apparent. And there is yet another diff
ficulty that the steamboatmen must mas
ter, and that is the tardy shipper. The
other day we saw lumber and machinery
sent to the landing after o'clock;
it is needless to say it was not sent
back, as it should have been. There is
not shipper in this city who would think
for moment Of sending freight to a
railroad after the hour to receive, nor is
there a shipper who would hesitate to
send it to steamboat. because they know
! it will be received II is right to leave
promptly on time. 1t is an obligation the
captain owes to his passengers. 1t is
money to do SO in many ways. Delay by
shipments that have in many instances
been ont on the banQuette, marked and
ready for the draw all day, means extra
labor, trouble In shipping crews. higher
wages to same and loss Of time, which
counts in this, the season of plentiful
freights, foggy and bad weather. Concert
of action only is needed. The fight will
be easily won; the result is worth the
effort

Sailing vessels going to and CONS
ing from Seattle will require to be
towed both up and down the Sound,
whenever the tides or winds are
unfavorable, or else wait till the
wind turns in their favor, which
large vessels are not likely to do.
They will be at an expense each
trip from the Straits of Fuca up the
Sound and back, of $500 to $1,000,
according to the size Of the vessel,
for tewage. This will prevent Seat
tie from ever becoming the principal
seaport for the great commerce of
Fuca Straits. The same reason will
prevent Tacoma from ever becom-
ing a city of any great commercial
Importance. The winding tide
channels of the Rosario Straits and
of Bellingham Channel will also rec
quire towage for sailing vessels TO
Bellingham Bay, and will prevent
Whatcom from taking the foremost
place among the great ports of Pu>
get Sound. There is but one good
harbor on the Sound accessible from
the mainland by rail, that Is also
easily approached by sailing vessels
dusing all stages of the tides and all
conditions of the weather, and that
is Ship Harbor. 1t is the only har>
Dor parallel with the Straits of Fuca,
and its broad, open approaches will
enable vessels to enter without as
sistance, no matter from what quar~
ter the wind may blow. These facts
become evident from the study of
any good map that shows the loca-
ton of the places and tie channels
leading thereto.
