'CRUISERSTERN
HAS ADVANTAGES

When one goes atraveling ono
would not, in the ordinary course of
things, apart from official and other
obstacles, choose a man-otwar as an
ireal craft for yoyaging, and the aver
age layman would not be struck with
a war cruiser as a vessel likely to
possess advantages over the up-to-
date passenger liner for the comfort
OF the people on board. But, ac-
cording to some remarks made in the
course Of a chat a press representa-
tive with Mr.. j. B. Allen, of the we'll
known Dominion steamship line trad
ing between Liverpool and the st.
Lawrence, the cruiser has at least
one feature which is already being
adapted by the passenger line-the
build OF her stern. 1t is claimed, and
has, in fact, says Mr.. Allen, been de-
monstrated, that what is known as
the cruiser stern minimizes the vi
bration of vessel, besides reducing
her tendency to pitch heavily in a
head sea, while it also increases the
roominess of the vessel in the stern
compartments Certainly the straight
cruiser" stern does not add to the
beauty Of vessels outline, but these
are utility days and the graceful cut
water OF the schooner-bow had, in its
time, to give place to the more pro-
saic-looking but practical straight
bow Apparently the only drawback
to the cruiser" stern is an inclina-
ton on the part Of the vessel to be
what sailors term dirty in the
bows.
The first big passenger steamers
for which the cruiser stern has
been adopted are the two new $4,000
ton qnadruple turbine boats of the
Canadian Pacific Railway Company's
Empress fleet on the Pacific Coast.
These fine vessels, said Mr.. Allen,
will probably be engaged on the
Vancouver-Japan run, and for luxury,
speed and general appointment will
establish new standard on the Pa
cific ocean. The Allan company and
the c. p. R. are now practically
amalgamated, and. to accelerate the
through service, two 17,500-ton
cruiser-stern Quadruple turbine steam
.ers are being built for the Atlantic
ScEflCe, duu VIII SldfJ running pTOD-
able agout June next The Allan
line, which was the first to run
turbine steamers across the At
lantic, viii thus be the pioneers on
the Herring Pond of the cruiser"
stern. These two Dominion liners,
the Alsatian and Calgarian, will have.
a speed Of about q knots, and the
new C. P. R. beats will have a speed
almost as great.

One hundred and. seventy tons of
heavy chains for bling sea-going RATS
together were recently discharged by
the steamer Nethalem at Stella for
the Hammond Lumber Company,
which expects to send five RATS of
logs south this summer to San Fran
cisco. One of the huge RATS is COM
pleted an another is about half fin
ished. They will not start south for
another month because of the uncer-
tain weather now.

measure, and no serious objections so
far being made, the advocates of the

Several important sections were

utility corporation from investing its
funds in other similar concerns, and
on motion of Senator Judd 1t was tenn

property of companies under its juris-
diction, passed without protest The

only to be made after notice to the
company, and after it has had an OPP

Several verbal amendments were
made, such as the substitution OF
discriminatory" for discriminating
which change was insisted on by Sen
ator Metzger on grammatical grounds
This word is found in section 80 re-
