Greenwood to Hold Job
as Dairy Commissioner

Mandan, Dec. Sc. A. Greenwood,
present dairy and food commissioner,
was in the city today. Mr.. Greenwood,
who has been connected with the de-
Dartment for four years, and on the
retirement of Peter Miller in July,
vas named commissioner will con.
sinue his present capacity under Mr..
Hagen, commissioner Of agriculture
and labor. He is one of the best post
ed men in the state on dairy matters,
having had experience in all branch,
es of farming, dairying and creamery
work, and the state is fortunate in be-
ing able to retain him in the office.
1t became known here today that
Mandan has been definitely chosen as
the place for the 1917 meeting of the
State Dairymen's association meeting.
The executive committee has so re-
ported, but has not named the date Of
che meeting.
The information in the above para
graph relative to Mr.. Greenwood will
be welcome news to a host of friends
in Valley City and Barnes county, who
like him because of his genial good
nature and appreciate his ability in
mis- chosen line of work. There is no
doubt that under Mr.. GreenWoods adj
minstration 6'irving will take on a
New phase of usefulness to the state.

AN HONORABLE RECORD.
In view of what has been said
above one may readily appreciate
how much the Virginia Pilot AS
ISOLATION has done for Norfolk port
and its heavy traffic. The associa-
ton not only owns complete and
efficient equipment but 1t exercises
the most exactins supervision over
It's members. Character. sobriety,
sound. practical education and a good

qualify for ths pilots profession I'M

on these points the student Is first
placed on board the schooiship.
where he acquires his first practical
instruction concerning the courses,
bearings, soundings and other fea-
lures OF his calling. and the locality
in which he expects to exercise It.
is as thorough as It could be made
The instruction thus gatned-and It
is supplemented by practice. The STU
dent Is given the advantage OF trips
on the waters he Is later to spend
his life on, and It II during these
voyages that he gets q forecasts OF
the hardships and dangers he wifi
so often be called upon to face.
In the supervision and control Of
its qualified pilots. as we'll AZ in their
initial training. the Virginia Pilot As
ISOLATION has admirably fuliilcd the
purposes for which It came into be-
ing, and 1t is but Just that their SER

WHAT PILOTAGE MEANS.

While 1T has been found by expedi-
ence that the service rendered by
sktiifai pilots equally promotes the
speed, efficiency and safety of ship
ping. and to that extent directly re-
duces its cost in the long run, this
is by no means the whole advantage
they ensure. For instance, Virginia
pilots cooperate with the United
States Weather Bureau, contributing
valuable information as to the move
ments of vessels this news forming
part OF the general maritime news dis
seminated throughout the country.
Pilots also keep the Government fully
informed regarding all changes that
take place in the navigable chan
neis-the accidental misplacing OF
Structions, the formation of sand
bars or whatever may arise TO make
unusual precautions necessary. This
Information is at once commitment
ed to incoming vessels, with the re-
suit of incalculable saving OF life and
property. When II is remem bered
that this Is part of the daily work
Of thousan ds OF ohservant and high
iy-trained pilots in the many ports
along the long coasts of the United
States. 1t will be seen how much lie
dependent upon them. The United
States depends also very largely upon
pilots to assist in the protection of
customs and TO aid quarantine Of
ficials.
The responsibility resting upon pi-
lots is even greater than that upon
captains as the latter's control ceases
when the vessel enters upon the part
of her voyage which entails the
greatest risk-~the narrow and crowd
ed channels. and the still more crowd
ed harbors. where the slightest In
discretion or mischance may mean
heavy loss. No captain who only oc-
icasionally visits the harbor. perhaps
NJ long intervals can no9sihly keen
so well informed as to it's changing
intricacies as can a pilot who liz con-
stantly face to face with them.

q Part OF It AS the Hull Of

'TfIotage regulations are regu-
laf1ons of commerce.; a pilot In
a. much part OF the COM
mercaal marine as the hull of

IL lis guided."-The Supreme Court
Of the United States
From time to time the value of
pilots TO q port has been called in
question. When a ship enters a port
the employment of pilot entails
slight extra expense. and ship own
ers, captains and State authorities
have alike occasionally questioned its
necessity.
In several instances the compulsory
use OF pilots has been abrogated by
legislation. In 1881 Sweden abolish.
ed compulsory piiotage. retaining this
regime for nearly thirteen years. That
the extreme. and when she returned
to the piiotage system in 1894. IL was
because there had been so great q
confusion of traffic, no much loss of
time. and even wrecks and loss Of
life, that the revsrsion to the older
and sounder system OF employing
pilots, sanctioned by centuries Of
experience, was absolutely neces-
sary.
Even in our own country the fall
lacy that compulsory ptlotage is an
unnecessary and irritating restriction
has expressed itself in legislation
Among the States that abrogated the
pilotage system was our immediate
neighbor. North Carolina. It is an
interesting comment on that States
experience, however. that at the very
next session the costly innovation was
rescinded. North Carolina is net
likely to repeat an experience which
she found anything but advantag e-
Gus.
New York state, even with its
huge volume Of shipping. which one
would have thought no legislation
would have dared to teopardize. also
repealed the piIotage laws. This
was nearly a century ago. For a
period of eight years each pilot was
a law unto himself, acting under no
restriction or guidance. and account
able to no authority for any neglect
of duty, Many captains did not use
pilots at all. with the result that
many accidents occurred In spite of
the fact that at that early date ship
ping accommodation was more than
commensurate for the volume of traf-
fic. The experiment proved too cost
ly to continue. and the State again
adopted the compulsory pilotage sys-
tenn.

has been both sound and consistent.
