FORMER COAST GUARD CUTTER
 TO BE CHANGED
Algonquin to Be Refitted as Salvage Tug for
 Ocean Service
Seattle Times)


 Shipping of the North Pacific soon will have available the servic- es of powerful American salvage tug, on station day and night, req dy to go to the assistance of ves- sels in distress.
 The Floss TugDoat Company of Seattle, wilIc;l recently purchased the famous United States Coast Guard cutter Algonquin in Oak land, announced that the vessel would be converted into the most powerful American salvage tug on the Pacific Coast.
 The Algonquin is to arrive here within the next two weeks and i'm mediately will be equipped with pumps, a towing machine and oth- CT salvage equipment.
 Name 70 -.e Changed
 We have completed plans for entering the deep-sea salvage bus mess of tie North Pacific" said Wedell O. Foss. president of the Floss company. The Algonquin will be converted into a sea-going salvage tug. She will have the lat est salvage equipment, including a lightweight portable pump of large volume, and towing machine. She will be the only American craft op- erating exclusively as a salvage ves- sel on the North Pacific and the most powerful American tug on the Coast"
 MT. Foss said the Algonquin would be rechristened and given the name of one of the members of the Foss family. The vessel will be stationed at either Port Townsend or Port Angeles, manned by skel- eton crew. When call for salvage work comes, the other members of the crew will be carried to the ship in an airplane or speedboat.
 c. Arthur Foss, manager of the Floss company, has left Seattle for Oakland with crew for the ves- sel.
 The Algonquin is veteran Of two wars. She served in the West Indies. as gunboat during the war with Spain and did important ocean duty between Gibraltar and Bristol Channel during the. World War. As unit of the Boring Sea patrol of the Coast Guard, the AL gonquin Served as floating court, carrying the law to the isolated little settlements on the Alaskan Coast.
 In 1920. under the command of Capt. w. A. Wiley, now retired, the Algonquin left Seattle for Hyder, Alaska, under orders from Washing ton, D. O., to curb activities of al- fen agitators. She steamed into the harbor at Hyder with her deck bristling with guns, dropped anchor, and in Q few hours the trouble was over without a shot being fir. ed. The cutter carried four three inch rifles and two machine guns. In 1925 the Algonquin was com- manded by Lieut.. Comdr. c. F. Howell, who was United States Commissioner and tried cases in Alaska growing out of violations of the law. The mascot of the Algon- quin in those days was Devil, a Boston terrier who made several Alaska cruises in the vessel.
 After long and faithful service in calm and storm, the Algonquin was replaced by a more modern cutter, retired from duty and sold by the government.

 To Address Business Men
 At the noon luncheon Wednesday of the Juneau Chamber of Com merce, MT. White will be a guest and expects to make a talk to the members.
 Southeast Alaska should have a national park declared MT, White today in discussing a sub ject concerning which he has writ ten and spoken freely of late. This part of the Territory has more to offer tourists than most if not all other national parks and it has done less than any section of the country with any natural advantage to get one.
 ''The park should be established before natural advantages, such as forests and wild life are destroyed I have suggested Chichagof as the place for a national park. Its known mineral deposits could be exempted from eservation-mines and mills do not take up much room-but its forests, it's wild life brown bears included, if you please-should be conserved and protected.
 Advertised by Government
 National parks are advertised by the Federal Government. The mere setting of them aside attracts attention and arouses interest. am confident that a Chichagof Ma tional Park would yield to Alaska annually more wealth than is or will be derived from all her mines, all her fisheries, all her forests and all her fur put together.
 Tourist money stays in the country. A great part of the rich es derived from the present re- sources of the Territory is sent away.
 No Place To Go
 Tourists to Alaska now have no place to go and nothing to do after they get here Their amuse- ment must be arranged for them. There is no crop or combination of crops so valuable as the tourist crop.
 California keeps close account of tourist business. Figured that tourist averages daily expen- allure of $750-and the average is

 Friend of Territory
 T am a friend of the Territory. I know the charm and the lure of her natural advantages. l want to see her make the most of them.
 This part of the Territory is easily accessible-more accessible than most of the national parks in the States. If her people desire a more lucrative business than any they have yet had and desire to turn a period of economic depres- sion, which happily is not serious ly felt here, into an era of pros perity, everlasting, and such as they have never enoyed, they should importune the Federal Government to establish without delay na- tional park on one of the nearby islands.
 At the Chamber of Commerce luncheon Wednesday, I hope to explain to Juneau business men the advantages to them of na- tlonal park, and how it will pay them well to have it."

SCHENECTADY, March 3.
Every employe of the General
Electric Company in this city
who has been out Of work this
winter or even on part-time en-
ployment, has been cared for
financially by the company's un
employment plan, it was an
nounced here by Carl w. Snyder,
chairman of the mayors unem-
ployment committee. He said:
Gust what such assistance
means to a community is evil
denced from the fact that the
mayors committee, which is
now caring for 900 families at
an expense of $1,000 per week,
would have its relief work more
than trebled but for the help
from General Electric in caring
for about 1900 of its own en-
plOyeS."
In announcing that the unem-
ployment plan mutually adopted
by General Electric employees and
the company last summer has
cared for all it's own employees
here, the board of administrators
of the plan stated that 682 en-
ployes. who have been entirely
laid off, have received total of
500 ,987 in payment or loans thus
far and that 1.509 employees on
part time employment have re-
ceived $38,610 under the plan.

A large and increasing volume
of profitable business in the
transportation of automobiles
from manufacturer to dealer that
probably would have been han
died by the railroads has been
going to motor trucks in recent
years,
Now, the Wall Street Journal
notes, the latter carriers are be-
ing handicapped in plans for
broadening the area of their prof
liable operation by an increasing
amount of State legislation, par
ticularly laws raising gasoline
taxes.
1900 Bills Pending
Nebraska proposes an increase
in it's gasoline tax of cents
gallon, which would make the
total tax 8 cents. Arizona has
raised it's tax to cents. In
creases of l or cents have been
proposed in Minnesota, Oregon,
Tennessee and Kansas.
A Michigan farmers organiza-
ton is campaigning for repeal of
the Covert (good roads, law
Georgia and Tennessee have in
troduced taxes on lubricating
oils.
In all, more than 1900 bills
are pending in various States
which aim to increase taxes on
the use of automobiles and
trucks. 1t now costs flat fee
of two cents a mile to run a
truck with a foreign license tag
through certain States.
Long Hauls Hit
Increase in gasoline taxes af-
feet chiefly long haul motor
truck services where rates be-
tween trucks and railroads begin
to converge at radius Of about
300 miles.
It is estimated that if a gen
eral increase in gasoline taxes
of 2 cents were put into effect,
the motor truck radius would be
reduced to about 200 miles under
existing operating conditions,
where few motor trucks obtain
tWo-Way pay loads.
