VIM. NELL LETS
 CONTRACT FOR BOAT

Under specifications requir- ing the construction of craft that will probobly rank as the biggest siXty-five -footer ever built on the Pacific Coast, the contract was awarded today for passenger power vessel to be operated by w. J. Neil of Wrangell and Ketchikan via points on the West Coast Of Prince of Wales Islend. AL 'hough only sity-five feet long the vessel will have a beam of eighteen feet and draft of seven feet seven inches. as a. gainst the fourteen feet beam and six foot draft of the ordin- ary boat of her length.
 Rigorous requirements of the federal statutes in regard to 'ifesaving equipment on coast wise passenger vessels are re- SpOnsible for the unusual di- mensions of the new boat. Be- cause of the dimensions her, gross tonnage will approXi- mate eighty five tons.
 The vessel which will be ehristened the Prince of Wales will have seating accomoda- lions for thirty six passengers and sleeping accommodations for thirty-twO. She must car ry two life boats and the same number of life rafts to meet he requirements of the coast wise law. The life boats will weigh 500 pounds each and the 'afts HOO pounds each.
 Confronted with the problem of carrying so much equipment on the decks, Naval ArchitecL L. II. Coolidge, the designer, solved it by increasing the yes sel's beam and draft, but 1t was one of the hardest propositions he ever tackled. The raits will rest on the deck on each side of Inc forward hatch and the boats will be placed on davils aft.
 The contract was awarded tO James Hall, of WinslOw. 1t calls for delivery in ninety days. The boat will represent all in- vestment of $f3, ,000. Aside from passenger accomoda!ions, she will have cargo capacity of fifty tons, measurement. Power will be furnished Ky 125 horsepower Eastern Standard gasoline engines of the revers- lble type, the boat will have a speed of twelve miles an hour.
 Nell, the owner Of the new vessel, operates the Uncle Dan in the route betwn Wrangell and points on the West Coast of Prince of Wales island. For the new boat the route will Le eN tended to Ketchikan calling at so many places on Prince of Wales Island that the trip one way will require eighty hours. Besides passengers and freight she will carry mail, Neill hay ing the mail contract for the Wrangell Prince of Wales route.
 To add q little bit more 10 the unusual features of the new vessel, the engines will be plac- ed forward instead of aft. Seat tie Times.

LOPP WORKING FOR
 ALASKA NATIVES

For the needy wards of the government w. T. Lopp, head of the Alaska division of the bureau of education, who IS now in Washington, has form ulated a plan that if carried out will greatly help the Natices of Alaska. He proposes to ap- pear before the committee on appropriations and ask that $125,000 be appropriated for medical relief and $250,000 for food and other necessities for the Natives. Included in the last amount is a schooner which is intended to be used during the summer to carry food supplies, and in the winter as a training ship for the young men.
 Mr. Lopp believes that q great deal of money can be by having a government schoon CT, besides the convience thai it would afford in visiting the many school settlements.
