PACIFIC OCEAN
 DOUbLETRACKED

SAN FRANCISCO, April 2.-Traffic on the Pacific Ocean has become so heavy in recont years that steam ship companies have found it neces- sary, for the sake of safety, to "dou- ble track" the waterways, according to the United States Photographic office here Routes affected by the decision are: Scattle-Yokohama, San Francisco- Honolulu. and Honolulu Yokohama.
 Tho Pilot Chart of the North Pa cific for March shows well defined routes which masters of vessels must follow. Of the three routes. on only one, from Seattle to Yokohama, is it required that tho vessels keep to tho right" Vessels bound from San Francisco to Honolulu pass to the south of those eastbound, and the same obtains with those on the Honolulu- Yokohama run. The keep to the right" rule. the Photographic office explains. cannot be applied at sea as readily as on land because fogs, prevailing winds, ocean currents and other factors must be taken into consideration.
 As yet no necessity has boon found for planting traffic cops on breeches-buoys out in mid-Pacific, but optimistic shipping men believe that this may yet come to pass.
 Double tracking" the steamship lanes of the Atlantic has been in practice for some years. This is the first time. however, that the system has been put into operation on the Pacific.
