A FRIENDLY HINT.

While the Portlanders are about it
they may as well save themselves what
of loss and time is possible to be saved
by o careful revision of the newly pro-
posed Port of Portland bill. For instance
the clause wherein the port reserves to
itself the limitation of liability in the
sum of $4,000, covering loss and dam
age to vessels by reason of the careless
ness of the tug-masters and pilots oper-
ating under its aegis. is worth close
review for the purposes of amendment in
that it shall not conflict with the federal
supreme court decision in the case Of the
ship Thrasher, for which the tug-owner,
Warren, of Victoria, paid the full cost
Of vessel and cargo and wrecked fine
business in the doing Of it. The owners
of the Thrasher and Warren fought the
matter of liability through all the courts
OF the land and the decision of the Ad-
miralty court was sustained and the
tug-man went to the wall.
The Warren tug fastened on to the
Thrasher and entered the Straits of
Fuca, Victoria bound, without licensed
pilot on board the tow, and the ship
