WATERFRONT NEWS


! ships are American citizens, born or
naturahzed
Laws enacted in 1895. when motor
or power boats were practically I'M
known, prescribe equipment unneces-
| sary on the smaller types of these
| boats. and modification of those laws
/ Is recommended.
The bill requiring wireless appara-
tus on ocean passenger steamers is IA
| vored. The report recommends various
changes in the navigation laws, but is
/ principally devoted to consideration
of the subsidy question.
Mail subsidies, admiralty subventions
and navigation bounties of foreign ma
| tions are considered at some length in
| the report. Commissioner Chamberlain
shows that under these heads. including
also ship building and fisheries boun-
| ties and retainers for naval reserves,
! these expenditures now amount annual
| " to $46,S96,000. The United States
for ocean mails in 1905 paid to Amer
lean steamers 81, 467 .255, and to for
| eign steamers $1,22S, 032, our subsidies
being less than those paid by Canada.

MAUNA KEA'S LINE
INDENTED MIZZENMAST

The line which the Mama Kea first
used aboard the Celtic Chief on the
first days trial to bring the British
ship off the reef, not only parted, but
made an indentation on the Celtic
Chiefs mizzenmast. The line was pass
ed about this mast, and the Mauna Kea
loose, particularly the stranded ship.
But the line parted, and when the
broken end aboard ship was unwound
from the mast it was found the line
had sunk deep into the big stick.
It is expected that today the various
steamship companies will go into court
with their claims for salvage. The
Inter-Island company may claim $25,-
600: Miller Salvage Company, $4,000;
Young Brothers, $4,000. The Inter-Is-
land NAV claim $4,000, as it had three
to four vessels engaged in working on
the ship. and in addition had small
boats out transferring fertilizer cargo
from the Celtic Chief to small steam
ers. to tighten the vessel.
The Celtic Chiefs captain has never
before been in Hawaiian waters, and
his first experience looks to be a cost
" one for his vessels owners. The
British consul will hold a hearing for
the British captain. Pilot Macaulay,
who was aboard the vessel from Sun
day evening until she was pulled off
the coral, will probably hand in a
lengthy report to Superintendent of
Public Works Campbell this week.
The Celtic Chief is one of the YES
sells that still bear painted counter
feits of the oldday gun portfolios. In
the old days of wooden warships, port
holes for gun work looked like the
painted ones of today. When traders
began plying in oriental, and particu.

Lurline Sails on Seventeenth.
When the Matson steamship Lurline
sailed for Kahului last evening it was
learned that she would return here on
Tuesday and load and be ready to re-
turn to San Francisco on Friday, De
cember II, at ten clock in the fore
noon. This will put her in San Fran
cisco on Friday December "a, the day
before Christmas. and viii leave time
enough almost for Christmas packages
to be delivered in California on Christ
mas Day or the day after. The de.
parture of the Lurline on the seven.
tenth is due to the desire of the
agents and Captain Weeden to accom-
modate Honolulu in the matter of an
extra opportunity to get Christmas
presents to friends on the Coast at the
right time.

crowded.-A friend was complain
ing the other day to Capt. Barber, port
captain of the state pilots, about the
crowded condition Of the steamboat on
which he recently made trip.
-Four in a room?" replied Barber.
That's nothing"
you should have travelled In the
days Of the gold rush to California I
remember one trip out Of New York
we carried more than 1000 passen-
gers, and if you put fifty on that ship
today there'd be a holler that would
reach Washington and make trouble
for somebody. To show you how
crowded it was and what crowded
really means, three days out from New
York a chap walked up TO the old man
and said:
Captain, you really must find me
a place to sleep
Where in thunder have you been
sleeping until now?" asked the old
man.
WELL said the fellow, you see it's
this way I've been sleeping on sick
man, but he's getting better now and
won't stand for it much longer. San

CARRYING THE MAILS.
BY Means Which Range From Sled
Doqs to Ocean Greyhounds.

The modern postal transportation
system has developed into gigantic
proportions since the establishment OF
the first post route, in 1872, between
New York and Boston, with a monthly
schedule.
Service Is now authorized over 213,-
220 miles of railroad. The department
utilizes for mail purposes the regular
train service and arranges for special
fast exclusive mail trains between i'm
portant points.
Congress fixes the maximum rates
at which this service may be paid for
based upon the average daily weight
of mails carried. The country is di-
vided into four contract sections and
the mails on each route are weighed
once in every four years and the pay
fixed thereon. All routes in a section
are weighed at the same time and the
sections are weighed in rotation. The
cost Of mail transportation on rail-
roads is about s45,0OO,O0O a year.
One of the greatest advances ever
made in the postal service, says the
National Magazine, was the origina-
tion Of the travelling postoffice. This
was started in 1862, and has developed
and grown into the modern railway
mail service. Instead of transporting
the mails in bulk and assembling them
in large distributing postoff1ces for
separation and dispatch they are sent
directly to the railway postoffice to be
distributed on their way to destination.
This postoffice is a car or cars oper-
ated in trains between important ter
minals, fitted up and furnished with
distributing cases and sack racks in
which railway postal clerks distribute
and handle the mails carried Here
the mails are made up for local deliv-
cry en- route and for dispatch to con-
Meeting lines.
This railway mail service directs the
dispatch Of all mails, determines the
routes over which they shall be carried
and distributes them en- route, so they
are ready for delivery to offices along
the line, and in some cases makes
separations for city delivery upon ar
rival at large terminals.
To conduct this service there are
1926 officers and clerks employed at
cost of over s1S,3OO 900 year. The
railway postoffice lines cover 20S,4S1
miles of steam. electric and steamboat
routes.
The training of the railway postal
clerk is acquired by constant study of
the names and locations of postofices

A Battleship Truck Garden.-Turkey
has been having more than her share
of publicity during the last six months
with revolutionary, antirevolutionary
and reactionary political parties that
have kept the government in continual
turmoil and have troubled the heads OF
the great European powers, declares a
writer in Harper's Weekly. Meanwhile
the Turkish navy has been renovated
and the investigation has disclosed a
ludicrous state of inefficiency.
The whole of the quarterback of one
of the warships had been converted
into a fiourishing kitchen garden, and
there was promise of an excellent crop
Of cabbages and artichokes. The en-
tire crew were interested in these
agricultural pursuits, for naturally a
share in the fresh vegetables was more
to be desired than empty honors gain
ed by proficiency in seamanship, only
acquired through close application to
naval duties. The state Of the re-
mainder Of the Turkish ships may be
left to the imagination.
