There are several people in this city
the Royal Mail Steamship Company,
which controls the vessels running be-
tween Vancouver and Australia via
this port. The cause of the trouble is
the fact that though they have come
10 this city especially Cor the purpose,
they cannot get away TO Australia on
the Miowera, which should be here
next Friday or Saturday. Some viii
wait here a full month for another
boat and others will go back to San
Francisco and give up their plans al
together
The cause of the trouble comes fiom
the fact that the Miowera has no
American certificate, allowing her 10
carry passengers from a port in the
United States. To get this she would
have TO make a trip from Vancouver
to Seattle. where United States inspee-
tors are located, or have inspectors
come to this port for that very pur-
pose. At any rate. this has not been
done and no passengers viii be allowed
TO sail from here on the Royal Mail
steamer, under penalty of heavy fine.
and possibly more serious conse-
quences.
The American officials have been
very lenient with the vessels of this
company, but have found that it has
not paid. It was agreed, when the
Mfowera last passed through here.
that, on account of the difficulty which
would be caused by the making OF an
fusDactjon here she ShouIdsshe allowed
to take passengers to the Coast pro-
vided that she was inspected and
certificate issued before she cana
back Lack of time is given as the
excuse for not sending the vessel to
Seattle for this purpose. and, as the
result, the Federal authorities have
decided TO allow no more ieeway.
When the Oceanic boats were run
ming from here and there was no mon
opoly there was little trouble of the
kind mentioned, but the local people
evidently have TO suffer for the change
which has taken place lately.
