HUERTA THINKS AMERICANS ARE FOND OF HIM
MARINE MEN LIKE
 EMPIRES SUGGESTION

The suggestion of The Empire that the people of Alaska should insist upon a regulation requiring that pas senger ships running in Alaska waters should not be permitted to enter where there has not been a complete survey and a perfect chart made, and where the channel has not been properly marked, has met with general favor. Most of those of the many that have discussed the suggestion agree that it is the one regulation that could be put into effect immediately that would do most toward making life more se- cure to those that travel up and down the Alaska coast.
 A master of passenger ships who has piled the Alaska coast for a decade and a half, but who does not desire for obvious reasons to be quoted, said yesterday that The Empires sugges- tion is the best one that has been made, and that it should be carried out immediately. That would mean, '" he said lin effect. that most of the passenger ships would be kept in the main channel They would be restrict ed to the ports that are commonly called the mail ports on the regular course Ketchikan, Wrangell, Juneau, Douglas island. Haines and Skagway. It would make the transportation com panies leave the out of the way can nery business to their freight ships, and it would make room for one or more small passenger steamer routes in Southeastern Alaska such as that upon which the Georgia plies"
 "The people of Alaska" said this passenger steamer captain, should get at this matter at once. If they re alized the peril that those of them who travel are in they would not rest at night until they secured the adoption of such regulations by the Department of Commerce, Let the passenger ships stay where their masters know they are safe, and make the penalty for vio- lating the regulation a severe fine on the company, and forfeiture of the cap tains license, Any other method of coping with the situation will take time This could be done in A hours. so that those passengers leaving Ju- neau or Seattle on the next boat would be comparatively safe"
