CAPTAIN FLAMES $. $. SAN JAUN FOR
 COLLISION IN FOG
SAN JUAN WAS ONE OF OLDEST VESSELS OPERATED ON
 PACIFIC COAST
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug, 31, (P)

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug, 31, (P) Capt. H. O. Bleumchen of the Standard Oil tanker s. G. T. Dodd declared at the hearing before the U. s. Steamboat Inspectors, that his ships collision with the steamer San Juan would not have occurred if the latter ship had kept on it's course.
 He sounded the signal hard as- tern expecting the San Juan to keep on going and pass in front of the Dodd. Instead, the San Juan stopped which caused the collision.
 He said both ships were at a dead stop at the time of the crash. He had intended to go ahead but was prevented by the speedy sinking of the San Juan
 Captain Bleumchen also said that the San Juan was one of the oldest vessels operated on the Pacific coast being built in 1882 but that despite it's age he con- sidered the craft to have been Staunch and entirely Seaworthy; this view was also held by both owners and federal inspectors.

WHALING SEASON
 AT PORT HODROV
 BEEN SUCCESSFUL
ONE WHALE TAKEN AT STATION MEASURED S6 FEET; JAW
 BONE WAS g FEET

One of Alaska's most thriving in dustries, and one concerning which
 little IS known, is the American Pa cific Whaling Co.,, of Port Hebron and Akutan
 The present season has been an unusually successful one. Under the efficient management of Su-
 perintendent Shoup, at Port Ho- bron, more than 200 whales have been taken and reduced to oil and
 fish meal. The total output will be about 10000 barrels of oil and ap- proximately 2,000 tons of meal of Ian aggregate value exceeding a quarter of million dollars.
 To one whose idea of whaling is derived from "Moby Dick" and oth- Ter yarns of old time whaling, the operation of modern whaling plant is a revelation The old time whaler sought the sperm whale alone taking the choice sperm oil from the reservoir in the mammals head and the high grade oil from the trying out of the blubber and then casting aside 6he carcass to Ibe food for sharks. The modern iwhaler goes to sea in fast diesel boat 100 or more feet in length. In stead of the dangerous system of rowing up to the whale and thrust ing a harpoon into his side trust ing to strike vulnerable spot be- fore the injured animal destroyed boat and crew in his mighty strug- !gles, the modern whaler uses whale gun casting heavy harpoon Ito which is attached line from the ship. Tn the head of the har- lpoon is bomb which explodes in side the leviathan making a sec ond shot unnecessary as rule. ?
 Tn order to float the whale to the reduction plant, the carcass is in Hated with compressed air. The lsperm whale, once so highly prized, lis no longer desired The immense fish is then lowed home and haul led up to a great platform on the. roof of the factory By means of lhoists, donkey engines and cutters, the whale is swiftly stripped of his blubber, the meat and bones, en- trails, tail and fins, all go into great
 pots to be boiled for 16 hours or more. Every ounce of the monster is used for a beneficial purpose ex- |cept as to the whalebOne, once highly prized for use in the maru- fracture of corSetS and whipStOckS. The ladies no longer wear cOrsets and the auto has driven the horse out of business and the whalebone being of no value as fertilizer, is thrown away.
 One whale taken at Port Hebron last week, measured 86 feet and produced more than 175 barrels of oil besides 20 tons of meal. The jaw bone of this animal was g feet long and it's opened mouth gave a truly terrifying aspect altho in fact it's throat was not big enough to swallow baseball.
 The only whale having teeth is the sperm. This creature lives on mud sharks, cutie fish and the like while all other varieties subsist on

stantly killed when the automobile in
which they were riding crashed into a
