Efforts are now being made to have
all gasoline launches Of five tons reg
lister and over licensed in the same
manner that steamers are licensed
Speaking of the matter, which affects
principally lower Columbia river boat
owners, Captain WIN Pope, Of Portland,
said. During the summer months
there is quite fleet Of gasoline boats
used in the lower harbor, about Astoria
and nlwaco. OF course, nothing Is
feared from that type operated as can
merry tenders, as they seldom venture
into the district about the bar, but
where the regular steamer plying be-
tween Astoria and Ilwaco has been
crowded to the limit allowed her by
law, and orders have been sent to AS
toria calling out a gasoline boat to
care for the overflow. The latter craft
would be loaded SO that she carried
equally as many souls as the steamer
yet she was, in all probability op-
Grated by an engineer and captain who
had no further experience than was
gained in her, and none of the life
saving appliances demanded on steam
craft were carried. The anchors on
board would not be fit to hold her
should she become disabled crossing
the harbor and drift out to sea. AS
matters now stand 1t Is impossible for
the government to compel the carry
ing Of life preservers on these boats
under is tons, but, as numerous boats
engage in passenger traffic that are
smaller dimensions, the mariners feel
the public is entitled to the same pro-
lection Afforded on small steamers, and,
ON the other hand, the motor boat op-
orators should be licensed with them
when engaged in the same business

son, young diver Of this city, the
government cable in the lower haroor
has been freed from the obstruction
that has been such source of annoy
ance of late. The wrecking steamer
o. X. was detailed for the work, and
young Nelson was engaged to DO the
diving. The obstruction proved to be
the anchor and is fathoms of chain Of
the bark Hadyn Brown. Nelson found
the cable entangled with the anchor
and chain, He succeeded in straight
ening things up, and the equipment
was picked up by the steamer. The
job was neatly done, and the ambitious
young diver deserves credit for the
part he played in 1t, which was all i'm
