FAVOR A PILOT LAW
Arguments Advanced by Two
Old Shipmasters.
THE TUGS WOULD NOT SUFFER.
More Vessels Would Come to the Sound
and Insurance Would Fall-Sale
OF tho Henry Bailey.

Old shipmasters on the water front are
taking considerable interest in the discus
sion OF the proposition to have the legis-
lature pass compulsory pilotage law for
the Sound. Capt. n. L. Rogers and Capt.
A. P. Spaulding, both old ship masters,
made the following points in favor of such
law yesterday, in discussing it with q
Posr-INTELLIGENCER reporter:
1t would result in lowering the rate of marine
insurance on foreign vessels bound for the
Sound. because underwriters consider it great
FISK Tor captain unacquainted with the Sound
to attempt to bring in a vessel in rough weather.
This can be proven by getting an expression of
opinion from underwriters and their agents.
Owners OF foreign vessels would be more will
ing to send their ships here If they knew that
ON their arrival off the straits they could rely
on hnding competent pilot to bring them in
safety. and they would gladly pay for his serv-
ices. But knowing the impossib billy of main
talnlng system of volunteer piotage, they
would never know in taking charter whether
the vessel would be met by a pilot or not, I'M
less the law made it compulsory.
large number of the vessels could be sailed
right in By a pilot knowing the Sound, thus
saving large amount OF towage, but the tow
boats would really lose little or nothing, as they
are now compelled TO cruise away outside, wait.
ing for vessels to signal them, thus wasting
most OF their compensation in fuel, whereas
with pilot system they could lie inside and
use very little fuel.
The reason so many Of the shipping men on
the Sound are against the system 10 because they
are interested in tugboats and they are afraid it
would result in reducing the amount OF tow

few weeks when H. T. Bsown. for
merly part owner and business manager
of the Spokane Reriep, acd o. II.
Culver, at that time Tacoma representa-
tive of the PosT-ISTELLIGEScEE came here
and purchased the Weekly Solaindealer,
changing its name to the Herld. They
published good paper and rSade little
money, despite the fact that TIE business
depression had already comme1ced when
they entered the field. Meanwhile changes
in the business management oe the Herald
were being made at frequers intervals.
Mr.. Woods was succeeded by TIE notorious
Paul E. TarbeI, whose connection with
the Seattle Journal and Sundo. Budget is
still fresh in public memoir. He was
fired" after few weeks OF i5gh-handed
extravaganza, and was subsequently
obliged to skip for firing the guiding in
which he was publishing .ttle sensa-
tional weekly called the Sun. I.on. George
A. Black, then land agent of ths land COM
pany, and one OF the trustees of the
paper, took the management for a few
weeks, until it was turned oyer to D. II.
Merriman, who, though not pretending
to have any practical knowledge of the
printing business, is good Business man
and did good work in strengthening out
the tangle In the business offiye. After
little while he was succeeded bS J. B. VIII
son, who had had experience 81 an adver-
Using solicitor and collector on the Spo-
kane Review. His administra gon of the
papers business affairs was aonest and
creditable. Meanwhile II. T. -srown had
sold his interest in the ToSd to Z. I.
Earle, at that time connectea with the
Observation-Disclosures, and in august the
Herald Company made the 1Foryd pro-
prietors proposition to consolidate the
two papers. An agreement was entered
into and o. II. Culver became -he general
manager of the consolidated conce IN,
with an option for the purchase with
in two years of suficiSnt stock
to give the World sroprietors
complete control, but aft1r nearly
seventeen months labor as editor and
manager, he concluded thas he had
enough. and preferred to sell wat he had
rather than acquire more. Tie plant of
the paper is one of the largest end best in
the state, and the company OWLS both the
morning and evening Associated Press
franchises for Fairhaven and Wlatcom.
The land company now owns a very
large majority of all the stock and Is, of
course, the only institution sshich can
afford to continue the publication of
daily under the existing busits2ss condi-
tions. Although the president Af the land
company enjoys the highest reszect of the
community, and though the saper will
doubtless continue TO labor ftsr what it's
owners conceive TO be the best interest of
the people, it will never be popular or
financially successful under the 1ompany's
control.

the game the Mortified team entertained
their visitors. The Seattle team lett for
Victoria Monday morning, where they
PLAYED the home team.
When the Seattle men came on the field
TO play Victoria they were feeling the eff
feet OF their hard work in the form er
games, which had been exceeding close
and well contested. This was also the
third successive day upon which they had
played, yet but few teams could have
stood the strain SO veil. and appeared in
such excellent condition when the game
began.
When the ball was set agoing Seattle
worked hard. but could not succeed in
passing the Victoria goal keeper. The
Victoria forwards then made fine run
down the field. and with a pretty shot
scored. Just before balf-time was called
they added another to their score. In the
beginning of the second half the Seattle
team tried hard % score, but in vain.
The score now stood to in favor of
Victoria, and things commenced to 10 ok
black for Seattle. With only twelve min
u;es still TO play the Seattle team COM
menced 10 press. This was the most ex-
citing ten minutes ever seen in Victoria.
Seattle added goal after goal till the score
stood to 4.
The spectators nearly went wild with
excitement, and when the fourth goal
went through. the crowd were almost in
the center of the field, throwing hats and
sticks in the air. and shouting till they
were hoarse.
The Seattle team were right in the Vic
toria goal mouth when the whistle blew,
and thus ended game with the most ex-
citing finish ever seen in British Column
bia-
After the game the team were treated to
a splendid supper in the Victoria hotel.
The team returned pretty we'll used up,
but well pleased with their tour.

SmOuIderinC Fire Breaks Ont.

A lot of old rubbish piled under the
plank driveway in the alley between the
Seattle National bank building and the
Yesler building caught fire about O'CLOCK
last evening and created considerable ex-
element. as at first it was thought from
the volumes of smoke that the basement
of the bank building was on fire. 1t took
quite while for the iremen TO reach the
fire and put it out, but no damage re-
suited. The origin of the fire was I'M.
known. but it may have been smouidering
there for several days. as one OF the men
employed on the Yesler building said he
saw some smoke coming up through the
planks some days ago. but thought at the
time it probably emanated from the fur
mace in the building.
