THE PILOT Laws.
Present Statutes Work a Hardship to
American Navigators.


OLYMPIA. Jan. 10.-James G.. Swan, sec
rotary OF the board of Puget Sound pilot
commissioners, submits the following as
part of his report:
The present pilot laws were approved Febru-
airy ., fssS. The commissioners appointed under
this act when first passed were Z. Al. DeLiou, W.
J. Watt and 4. 3 CROSBY. when the territory
became state, Governor Ferry appointed Cap
tain j. II. stetson, Charles H. Jones and John r.
Belts, the present incumbents.
IL was soon found that the law Is practically
imperative and no reliable p.ioss pave been
ions they cannot earn livelihood The latter
clause OF section Is renders the law practically
OF TO avail, as it provides that a master o. a
vessel may act as his own pilot. ana that the
master or owner OF any vessel shall not be COM
PEELED 70 take pilot under the provisions OF
this act"
c1al world pilots are provided BY law. and in
nlcst cases il is compulsory, that II pilot IS not
taken the vessel spoken must pay one-haI the
regular fee. This Is done 10 enable pi4oss 20
keep good and efficient pilot boats well equipped
to proceed 10 sea in search OF incoming vessels
TO offer their services.
II is common remark among persons at Sc
attic. Tacoma and other places up the Sound,
that there is no need for pilots; that the waters
OF Fuca strait, Admiralty inlet and up 70 OlyIn-
pia. the head OF navigation, are as easily navl-
GATED as the ocean; that there are no hidden
dangers; that the waters ere deep and the com
pass and chart are all that are required But
knowledge Of currents, especially during
seasons OF fog, and knowledge OF the proper
places for anchori3g are essential, ana II Is a
knowiedga that can only be acquired by expert
ence and by men in the daily practice OF navi-
eating our waters. Every steamboat Is required
by the Caited States laws 10 carry piiof, and
sailing vessels especially strangers coming from
distant laads across the Pacific ocean, are glad
- avail themselves OF the services OF skilled
pilots when they come into Fuea strait from the
ocean.
Underwriters invariably require masters OF
vessels 10 take pilots when skilled men oher
their services. but under our present law no
skilled men viii eater the service, ana the law
farce
We cannot discriminate between our OVID and
foreign shipping; we cannot make laws obiigIng
fpreiya vessels to take pilots and let or own
vessels 20 free co to avid this dl1eulfy and

shall be TO select that portion II said grant
which has not been properly selected, and to
prepare and ile in this Office complete abstract
Of the entire seventy-two sections 80 granted To
the state for university purposes.
No provision has been made for the selection
Of any portion Of the lands granted 10 tho state
except Indemnity school lands, and, in view OF
the fact that the public lands are being rapidly
taken MP. il is highly necessary that some pro
vision be made Tor the ilaMgaia:e selection of
oil lands granted to the state tor whatever pur-
pose.
Attempts are being made by certain indiyidu-
ais 10 obtain title to valuable portions OF the
school lands of the state under the claim that
they contain deposits of mineral. Lands aggre
eating nnny thousands OF dollars in value win
be lost 20 the state unless these claims yigor
ously contested. Railroad companies are build
ing their lines OF road over school lands without
having secured the right SO TO 90 under the
provisions of existing laws. Much OF the yalu-
able timber on school lands is being destroyed
or removed by tresrassers. The law relating TO
these subjects is inadequate, and should be so
amended and enlarged in its SCOPE 50 rs 10 fur
nish the most ample protection possible 10 the
interests OF the stats in said lands.

"SUCH A PLACE, FOR IN
STANCE, is
UTSALADY."
A Wise Mans Word to Investors.

''This country viii be densyly populated
and there will be several big cities on this
Sound. Some of them may be a good deal
bigger than any of those who now take
the lead. And let me tell you. when it
comes TO the question of specializing in
real estate, | would much rather take my
chances in one of those young, vigorous
towns than in the older ones, where values
are already pretty high. Many of these
small towns will go right ahead, and few
of them. on account OF their more fortu-
nate location, will undoubtedly make
rapid progress in the near future. Such a
place. for instance, is Utsalady. / do be-
Iieve that il town had been started on
that beautiful harbor in Utsalady Bay ten
years ago it would have been the largest
city on the Sound today. The location is
a commanding one, its resources are inn
mense. The oldest settlements, the nnest
farms, the biggest timher-up in that vi
cinity is where you will ind it. The ia
nous Skagit and Stillaguamish valleys,
with their wealth of timber, coal, iron,
marble, asbestos, silver, copper and other
precious minerals, are directly tributary to
Utsalady, which is practically the only
deep water harbor nd shipping port for
that region. Utsalady is great steamboat
center already, and / notice the railroads
are also heading for Utsalady. In my
opinion it is a good place to invest"
Lots and acres in Utsalady for sale on

The Intelligent Oyster.

ATLANTIC CRY, N. j., July 1.-THE
oyster is the latest subject or victim Of
scientific investigation. The university
of Pennsylvania is of the opinion that the
bivalve has too long been neglected and
some of its professors expect to prove be.
fore long, that he, or she, or it, is just as
intelligent and docile, and amenable to
training as dog, monkey or parrot.
In fact it is confidently believed that
before the professors in question get
through their experiments they will have
reduced the luscious bivalve to such a
stage of intelligence and doctility that it
will be no unusual thing to see them fol-
low their owners around the streets just
as does dog. The marine laboratory Of
the university will go into active opera
ton at Sea Isle City in few days under
the direction of DR.. Dolley, with small
host of assistants. They propose to put
the oyster under the microscope and look
into every nook and corner of his being,
ascertain what he eats, on what he -four
ishes, how the female prepares beds for
the reception OF the young oysters, how
long the oyster takes in gaining full
and how many it is safe to
dredge away in one year. The results
of this investigation are expected to have
a great bearing on the oyster crop. The
cultivation of the bivalve is now largely
in the hands of unskilled and unscientific
fishermen who do plenty of dredging,
but no training, and as result, the oys-
ter crop is on the wane. After the COM
mittee is through with its investigations
t will give the the results, free and gratis,
% the dredgers 80 that the latter may be
able themselves to provide for the per-
oetuity of the beds.
