The other day a man went into a store to buy saw. He saw the kind eh wanted and asked the price. It was $1.65, the dealer said.
 Good gracious" said the man. T can get the same thing from Sears, Boebuck X Co. for $1.35."
 That's less than it cost me-" said the dealer, but I'll sell it on the same terms as the mail-order house just the same"
 All right" said the customer. You can send it along and charge it to my account"
 Not on your life" the dealer re- piled. No charge accounts. You cant do business with the mail-order house that way. Fork over the cash"
 Now ? cents postage and cents for a money order

 Certainly. you have to send letter and a money order to a mail-Order house, you know
 The customer, inwardly raving, kept 10 his agreement and paid the nickel.
 Now, 25 cents expressage."
 Well, I'll be" he said, but paid it, saying. Now hand me that saw and m take it home myself and be rid of this fOolery.'
 Hand it to you? Where do you think you are. You're in Alaska and I'm in Chicago and you'll have to wait two months for that saw"

,en, nor shail we soon forget, the Va ieucia and her precious cargo; and we rt .nemuyr, too, that many of the rec concentrations which grew out of the federal inquiry into that tragedy have not been carried out, for the federal government has failed to make navi- gation as safe as it can be and ought to be made in the North Pacific wa ters.
 Many human lives have been lost, and millions of dollars worth of prop erty have been sent into the sea be- cause of the failure of the government to do it's full duty on this Coast
 From Seattle north there is a long stretch Of American coast line. washed by waters that are at times too tur- bulent and too treacherous for the unaided skill of the ablest of our sea men. But. the government can make these waters safe by doing for this Coast what it has done for the Allan tic Coast.
 Commerce is rapidly increasing in the North Pacific waters, particularly in the waters of Alaska, where the State of California was wrecked. Ships engaged in this commerce should be safeguarded against the wholly un- necessary dangers which now too of ten threaten them.

MAKE NORTH PACIFIC
 NAVIGATION SAFE

The loss of another vessel, the State of Caliimeja, on the Alaska Coast, and the snutflps out of forty lives, will again call atteAtion to the imperative need 0f doing something to make nayi- safiUn safer in Northern Waters.
 It is criminal for the government to further delay the serious matter of providing every possible aid to nay igation 6n the North Pacific Coast.
 Human lifn on this Coast is as dear as il Is on the Atlantic Coast, and prop erty here is q valuable and as much entitled to protection as 1T is else where
 We have had some sickening trag- edies in the waters of the Pacific Northwest. We have not yet forgot
