WEEKS REVIEW
OF SHIPPING

~
past week has been marked by activity
in steamer arrivals. The previous week
was notable for the number of sailing
vessels while the week before that was
a steamer week. The giant liner Man
churia of the Pacific Mail Company
fleet arrived off port on her maiden
voyage Monday evening but did not
some into port This was one Of the
most significant happenings of the
week, furnishing an example for use
in the campaign for harbor improve
ments. Besides the deepening OF the
water at the docks harbor men are
clamoring for the removal of the spit
on which the harbor light house stands,
for it is this that makes most of the
trouble for the big liners as the chan
mel is so narrow at that point that there
is little room for a boat like the Man
churia to turn between the light and
the Naval docks. A prominent dredge-
man is the authority fer the statement
that the job could be done at small
cost. The Korea was in the harbor
during the first of the week and two
transports have CALLED. The Nevadan
and Argyll are the freight steamers
calling during the past week.
