Want ONLY LICENSED
men ON SMALL CRAFT
Martin Cole Goes to WASHINGTON
in Behalf of Experienced
Men.
L. T. P. A. Insists the Government
Permit Only Licensed
Shippers.

Martin Cole of the state free en-
ployment office will leave Saturday
for Washington, D. c., where he will,
with other representatives Of the Ii
censed Tugmen's Protective associa-
tion, try to have the law in regard to
Operators" on steam vessels changed
so that hereafter it will be necessary
for them to stand an examination in
navigation and pilot rules.
Mr.. Cole will meet E. F. Kemmet
and Alfred Page of Toledo at Cleve-
land, hio. These men are the other
representatives of the organization.
They will go to Washington with Mr..
Cole where they will appear before
the Bureau of Navigation of the De-
partment of Commerce and Labor in
an effort to have the present law
changed.
At the present time the law allows
any one who is physically able, to pilot
or navigate a boat under SIS feet in
length. This includes steam, gasoline
and electric craft. The organization
wants the word steam stricken out. 1t
it claimed that no man is competent
to navigate boat unless he can stand
an examination in harbor navigation
and pilot rules.
This it is claimed is due the public
for on ferry boats many people are
carried and their safety is constantly
at stake when the boat is navigated by
one who gets his job by only being
physically able. This is all that Is
required to Get license at the present
time.
1t is desired by the organization
that all steam boats carry the regular
licensed officers. This is the object
Of sending the delegation to Washing
ton. :-''
The change is particularly desired
for ferry boats for they are seldom
longer than ,65 feet and they carry
hundreds of passengers. It is stated
that Duluth ferries have never taken
advantage OF obtaining the cheap help
the law allows. ss.. {. s +, .s'@ r. II

with straight, wide channels, of suf-
ficient depth to accommodate any
vessel that may come over the bar.
There should be sufficient shore line
for dock and wharf purposes, easily
accessible and held in such man
ner as to always be able to be put
to the best use. In addition, there
should be ample areas for the loca-
ton of manufacturing industries ac-
cessible to both rail and water.
With the exception that in some
places our harbor channels need
deepening. and our tideland areas
need filling with the material obtain
ed from the channel deepening, Grays
Harbor possesses all these qualifica-
tons.
In the equipment of a port there
are a large number of necessary re-
quisites all of which have to be pro
-vided either privately or'by some pub
lie body. The various railroads usu-
ally touch the harbor line at few
points and each system is separate
and usually with no actual transfer
between them. Hence docks, indus
tries and steamers are limited in
their operations to the one particular
line to which they connect. The
modern port provides for connec-
ton of all rail lines to all docks,
wharves and principal industries
Many of the port districts own and
operate their own belt line railroads

are absolutely essential for storage
of goods in process of transferal. Pri-
vate interests may or may not pro-

see that not only docks and wharves
but all port facilities are kept abreast
or even in advance of the demands.
Private capital might provide the &C
tual needs in their line. but to alb
stract shipping and commerce it is
often necessary to provide equip
ment regardless of the direct returns
AS an example of this is the opera
ton of drydock and the pilotage and

the purpose of providing vessels with
opportunities of repair and the pilot

A THRILLING RIDE.
Flight Of Fast Nj all Train to Mako Up
Lost Time,

When the first really fast mail be
tween Omaha and San Francisco reach
ed Evanston, WyO.. at the foot Of the
Wasatch mountains, it was fifty min
utes late. There it was met by pow
erful engine in charge Of reckless en-
gineer, Bill Downing by name. Cap
tain James z. White, ex-superintend
ent Of the railway mail service, tells in
his "reminiscences how Bill made up
the fifty minutes.
The distance to Ogden is seventy-six
miles. Il shall not be happy" said
Downing to one of the newspaper re
porters who were to make the run OH
this first fast mail, until l have done
that seventy-siX miles in seventy-twO
minutes"
When he threw the lever and opened
the throttle the train made start that
settled everybody's dinner And once
the train was fairly under way il
seemed as if the curves on the line
were all Strengthened out by the ire
mendous speed.
Going down Weber canyon the pace
was awful. Three miles in two min
utes" gasped Captain White.
But Downing did not reduce the
speed Down the winding line of Tap
ioca gulch the rear coach was swing
ing from side to side. You could hear
the wheels grind on the curves and
feel the continuous striking rs they
bore first against one rail and then
against the other.
Faster and faster the train swept
along. roaring over bridges tearing
through tunnels. rocking round prom
ontories. Some of the newspaper men
tainted through nervous exhaustion.
and many of the other passengers had
already succumbed.
Suddenly, in rounding the reverse
loop in Antelope gap, the rear coach
careened till it hung by one wheel on
the rail. As soon as the moment of
suspense was over General Manager
Dickinson sprang to his feet and call
ed
Pull the bell rope, quick, Brown, and
run forward and tell Downing to stop
this if he wants us to reach Ogden
alive
Then, not to risk another such sec
ond, the general manager sprang to
the rear platform and twisted up the
brake with all his might.

curved track We're covered in sixty
five minutes. 1t was a hair raising
record, and several passengers who
went through the experience did not
