VANCOUVER, B. c., May L.
Dashed helplessly about in the
gale that ragged along the British
Columbia coast two days ago, the
Seattle fishing boat Giant, former
ly United States revenue cutter,
can consider that sheer luck is on
her side. She is now anchored
in English bay of Vancouver with
her tail shaft broken.
In the terrific gale of Thurs
day which strewed the coast with
small tugs and their tows, the
Grant was caught off North Queen
Charlotte islands. After two
hours battling with heavy seas her
tail shaft broke and the little yes
sci ran before the wind toward
the shore of the island. The fish
ing schooner Japora saw her
plight and came to her rescue.
After hard work a tow line was
taken aboard and the helpless cut
ter towed to the shelter of Hardy
bay.

Permit me to congratulate YOU
upon the noble stand your fearless
independent paper has taken in
the public market affair. 1t is a
war between bright, progressive
methods against dark antideluvian
commercial ignorance, as champ
Toned by old-time narrow-minded
combinations, assisted and backed
up by a few municipal public SER
wants who have either individual
or family affiliations more at
heart than the public welfare. The
people of Tacoma should, and
certainly will, appreciate and re-
ward a newspaper like the Times,
that fights for and protects their
rights. You may have hard
road to travel. There is in that
bunch Gas you call them) a des-
perate clique that are obeyfng the
wishes and commands of those
that have no use for the public
market. Down them! down them!
for once and all. It was certainly
JOY to witness the performance as
played in the council chamber last
wednesday. Everything worked
to perfection, Notwithstanding the
great effort made by a few to
stem the arranged doom of the
public market. It was of no use.
The machine was we'll oiled and
run smoothly to down everything
placed in their way. You know
the result. There was only one
thing Mr.. Giblett forgot to do
when he seen his defeat-that was
a roll call, so as to let the people
of Tacoam know their beenfac.ors.
l hope the Times will find means
to secure the names Of those that
worked SO nobly to down what the
people want, SO as to prepare fun
eral arrangements when the pre-
per time comes, when they will
ask the dear public to allow them
to serve and look out for their
welfare again. The public will
certainly reward" these faithfI IL
servants and bury them deep
enough as to allow no resurrec-
ton. Hoping you will keep up
the good work to exterminate
everybody Connected with this eff.
fort to down the public market.
The people of Tacoma will GER
tainly reward their brightest,
