OLD SCHOONER
 IS SAVED FROM THE BONE YARD
Equator, Which Inspired Stevenson S Story, Has Been
 Granted a Reprieve.

SEATTLE, Nov. 9.-The old South Sea trading schooner Equator, ia nous as the vessel on which Robert Louis Stevenson is said to have re ceiked the inspiration for his story of The Wreckers," has been granted a reprieve from Davy Jones' bone. yard of out-worn ships.
 The Equator, for many years a Puget Sound steam tug, was about to be discarded when it was decided to open up her hull The frames were found to be of Port Orford cedar and as good, according to ma rine men here, as when she slid down the ways at Benicia, California, in 1888 As a result the vessel was re- gently rebuilt, her steam engine re placed with a Diesel-power engine and she will shortly resume her ca reer as a tug.
 The story goes that Stevenson, making a voyage in the Equator then a schooner among the islands of romance" was sitting in the cabin one night with a gathering of trad CTS, pearl fishers and others and heard an old South Sea yarn that gave him the idea for "The Wreck CTS" Later he recorded that fact in his diary.
 Years later the Equator was equipped with steam engines and in course of time made her appearance on Puget Sound.
 Her owners say she is good for many more years of service.

MAIL CONTRACT STARTED AR WITH
 SPOKANE. | l TRIP
Mail Clerk on the Vessel Mail Will Be Sorted on
 All Future Trips.

The first trip of Alaska steamers North, under the new mail contract was the one of the Spokane, which arrived here last night. Mail Clerk White, an old timer on Alaskan boats, was on board the Spokane, but did not sort the mail on the boat this | trip on account of not having had provisions made for the work, but will do so southbound and all mail will be sorted in the future. Boats will all carry the clerks who will sort each trip.
 The mail was a large one, but good work was done on it by the local Bradford and the accumulation of seven and a half days mail out of Seattle was soon put out of the way and into the boxes.
 Carriage of Mail
 According to a circular received by Admiral Line Agent J. H. Kline, the mail contract on the Southeast ern Alaska route calls for the car riage of mails in both directions be- tween Seattle and Ketchikan, Wran- gell, Petersburg. Juneau, Haines tone wayb, and Skagway, with privilege of not calling at Haines and Skagway on any or all voyages leaving Seattle from December 1 to April 30.
 The Southwestern Alaska route contracts provides for the carriage of mails in both directions between Seattle and Ketchikan, Petersburg, Juneau, Yakutat leach way once a month), Cordova, Valdez, LaTouche and Seward, supplying all other points in Southeastern and South western Alaska at which the com pany's Southwestern Alaska steam CTS call, including Anchorage and Kodiak. when steamers call at those ports "
 Compensation
 The company's compensation for the carriage of mail. including the transportation and subsistence of the mail clerk, is stated sum per round voyage. excepting on steamers leav- ing less than AS hours after another 9assenger mail steamer of the com 1any on the Southeastern Alaska route, or less than "A hours after the sailing of another passenger mail steamer of this company, or Of any other company on the SOuthwestern Alaska route. If mail is carried on any of the company's steamers sail ing within the foregoing time limits. , vi1 1ansation certain rates per pound on he actual mail carried. instead of the round voyage rates, and on such voy lges, the mail clerk need not be carried as only closed mail will be forwarded on such vessels.
 Protecting Mail
 According to the, circular, the steamship company must deliver mail to the post offices situated in any port where the post office is less than one-quarter of mile from the dock. otherwise the post office de- partment will handle the maif0 and 1 from the steamer
 Agents and all employees of the Admiral Line are urged to watch the mail and protect 1t and give as speedy dispatch as human power can afford v
 According to a news sheet sent out by the Admiral Line. the new contract, counterpart of one awarded simultaneously to the Alaska Steam ship Company, authorizes minimum compensation of $2,000 per round trip to Southwestern Alaska. with a corresponding minimum for the serv ice afforded the nearer ports of Southeastern Alaska.
 The two contracts cover the period expiring June 30, 1922.

DOUBLE ROADWAYS
IN HUDSON TUNNELS
Report Of Experts FavOrs Two
Tubes Each Twenty Feet
in Width.
COST TO BE S3O,OO0,OOO
One Will Be Used for Slow and
One for Fast Traffic
in New Plan.

AS the result of a report which has
been made to C. NJ Holland. chief engi-
neer Of the New York State Bridge and
Tunnel Commission. and through him to
the commission. 1t is probable that the
vehicular tunnels now being built un-
feet In width and that each will con-
tain two roadways. The present cost OF
the project is estimated at S30,O00.0OO.
Just two and a half times the original
estimate. The great increase is due to
the project to widen the tunnels.
The experts report was made after a
study of traffic on the Williamsburg
Bridge and elsewhere at rush hours.
This study led them to believe that a
two way plan. one road for swift NOV
ing traffic, one for slow moving, both
going the same direction, was the best
plan, and that a twenty foot roadway
Cor the two lines of traffic would be
Sufficient This would leave enough
clearance between the two lines of We
hcles and also between each line and
the tunnel wall
The committee returned an opinion
that in time the width of motor trucks
must be limited by law on account OF
the layout OF streets in the past and
the impossibility OF widening all OF
them. Some cities have limited the
width to seven feet. 1t is proposed that
motor trucks up to eight feet wide could
use the two lines of road in the twenty
footl roadway of the tunnels now under
construction. Other recommendations
made by the committee had to- do with
Keeping the tunnels clean, well lighted
and adequately policed.
