HONORABLE MENTION

The Seattle Times recently published
an interesting account of the exper-
fences of well-known steamboat man,
who might be dubbed THE Ancient
Mariner of Puget Sound"
George NJ. Coupe, purser on the
steamer Daily, will in a few months
round out half century of active work
as deckhand, mate, engineer and pur-
ser on various steamers of the Sound,
beginning his career as deckhand in
1865 on his fathers boat, the Sue
cess" operating between Ebey's Land
ing and Port Townsend
The elder Coupe located on WILDLY
Island in 1852. The old home still
stands, and the town of Coupeville oc-
cupies corner of the farm on which
George NJ. Coupe spent his boyhood.
With the exception OF Il few years
ashore, Mr. Coupe has followed steam
boating. He was purser on the steam
ship Oregon, plying between Seattle
and Nome, throughout the Klondike
rush
During the long period of active SER
vice aboard ship, Parser Coupe has
witnessed many changes and improve
ments, and his yarns always have an
historic interest to 'landlubbers" and
seamen. He well deserves the title OF
'The Nestor of Puget Sound Steam
boatmen.r

 "It is thus apparent that the filing of these improper claims will react directly and injuriously on persons whom the present regulations were de- signed to protect, and that the wei fare of persons who have filed bona fide claims under the present generous clauses of the regulations is seriously imperiled by persons who have filed claims without merit, and that the only protection of persons whose cases are within the meaning of the present rules, lies in the power of local boards to refuse exemption in every doubtful case
 Tt is true that cases of discharge on the ground of dependency are ap- pealed to this district board, but this clause is only inserted to secure uni formity of action. District boards are to examine these cases to discover de- partures from the law, regulations and rulings; and they will not and cannot open every case on it's merits.
