| with cattle for the interior, via Skag- way, in addition to about 150 tons ot coal for this place which will be dis charged here on her return. It is al- together probable that when she comes back she will load with ore from the Mt. Andrew mine.

 l The curfew ordinance now in force in Ketchikan should be supplemented l in every family by curfew which will positively "ring tonight' and every other night, if found necessary. Every well regulated family can have one. They are inexpensive, and can be made right at home.

 Under the law and regulations tug the size of the Vigilant is required to carry two engineers, failing to do which subjects her owner or owners to fine of one hundred dollars. The tug of that name which pulled out for Tacoma this morning was, owing to a breach of promise, if indeed not abso- lute engagement, on the part of the only unemployed engineer in the vicinity to keep his word, obliged to pull out with only one engineer, though she was held seven hours or more for the promised assistant to put in appearance. This will subject the owner, under a strict construction of the law, to fine of one hundred dol lars what it is liable to do to the re- calcitrant engineer referred to may be gathered from a perusal of section 4449 revised statutes which reads as follows: "If any licensed officer shall, fully or unreasonably refuse to serve in his official capacity on any steamer, as authorized by his certificate of license, or shall fail to deliver to the applicant for such service at the time of such refusal, if the same shall be demanded, statement in writing as- signing good and sufficient reasons therefor, or if any pilot or engineer shall refuse to admit into the pilot house or engine-room any person whom the master or owner of the vessel may desire to place there for the purpose of learning the profession, his license shall be revoked upon the same pro- ceedings as are provided in other cas- es of revocation of such licenses. Having subjected the tug to penalty, the engineer in question cannot now with good cause complain if the sec tion just qouted should be invoked against himself; on the other hand it may serve to teach him much need ed lesson.

 The government survey ship Explor CT came into port last night from Dix on's Entrance, where she is engaged in triangulation and typographical sur vey work. She is looking for coal with little probability of finding much in the way of supply until the Henriette returns from Skagway.
 A number of Ketchikan people are considering the question of migrating to Prince William Sound next spring. It is just possible, however, that con- ing events may serve to modify their eagerness in that direction, to some extent at least.
