That the Pacific Northwest car definitely attribute to Alaska a generous part in the upbuilding ot it's industries, is the opinion of Harry R. Lawton, vice-president of Co., lumbia Breweries, Inc, Tacoma whose visits to Alaska will be re- called by his many friends.
 Our Alaska business has con- tinued to double and treble, and as consequence we have, in the five years since beer came back com pletely rebuilt and expanded our original plant of 10000 barrels ca pacity to a thoroughly modern, re- inforced concrete and steel million dollar brewery, covering approxi- mately one city block.
 "The Alaska business, reSponsi- ble in substantial measure for this development, comes not only from Juneau but from every city of con- sequence throughout the Territory, as well as from the most remote trading posts and mining and fish, ing centers.
 During the five years beer has been back, Columbia Breweries, Inc, brewers of Alt Heidelberg beer, has expended $1,753,0 in payrolls; $3,500,000 in taxes, the tax bill for 1897 alone approximating $900,0C0; $2,408,00 in purchase of materials and supplies; and $1,OOOO0o in plant and equipment.
 We would be ungrateful if we failed to acknowledge the part played in this development by our customers and friends throughout the Territory"

watchers relay the word to him on a ticker next to his desk. Some times as many as 20 vessels clear in a couple of hours, and he has to hustle to check on where all are going so that their destinations may be accurately reported to the newspapers.
 The big passenger ships are easy; everyone knows where they are go- ing. But most of the clearances are coaStWise vessels and empty tankerS bound for Texas oil ports and some are cargo ships which, before they return to New York, will visit dis tant ports which most of us will never see. The ship news editor fol- lows these ships around the world. Every day he receives cables re- layed through Lloyds of London giving him the present whereabouts of the ship which cleared Hook three weeks ago "A. perhaps at Louenco Marques Chats on the East Coast of Africa), or at Colombo (that's in Ceylon).
 It must be an interesting pastime, | if you are at all ship-minded, to have the whole mystery of the sea lying in the hollow of your hand.
 Incidentally, New York is soon to have the 18th annual International Lifeboat races, right here in the harbor, which is something those Washington huskies and the Mlddy shell artists ought to see.
 These races were suggested doz- en years ago to help keep alive one of the traditions of the sea-the one about A. B. meaning Able Seaman and to see that skill at oars did not go the way of sailing skill with the intrusion of the ma chine even in lifeboats (on the larger liners many of the are now motorizeO.
 Lifeboats are made to carry peo- pie safely through heavy seas, not to race. College oarsmen would find this course pretty tough going. For standard Coast Guard lifeboat weighs 1885 pounds compared with the 300 pounds of plywood slivers which college crews use. There are no outriggers, sliding seats and spoon oars-just a bench in a stout boat and heavy sweep that must make a men feel like a gelley slave before the two-mile course is stroked
 Right now at the Bay of Naples, and at the fjord that leads to Oslo, and at Cherbourg and Bremen haven the natives are puzzled by the great liners which lower boats with crews of eight and send them rowing across the harbor waters for dear life. But the Seamen them selves aren't puzzled. They're just training for the big race in New York

Of the opinion that at least so long
as the total weekly compensation Of
an employee is not reduced, there can
be no violation of the act Dy a
change in his wage rate. provided
such change does not carry the
regular rate below Is cents an hour
for the first A hours and 37la cents

Advice to Employers.
Mr.. Gall advised employers to
take all necessary steps by agree
ment with employees or otherwise to
determine the new basic hourly
rate which shall apply for the first
A hours and the overtime there
after
II any other view were taken, he
asserted, this would be the effect:
The employer who has been
paying a fairly high rate of COM
pensatlon to his employees in the
past is penalized by now having to
increase compensation more than
the iow-wage employer, who thus
becomes a beneficiary of the act.
furthermore, this anomalous sit
uatlon would be created:
That an employer could without
violating the law employ new peo-
pie at 25 cents an hour for the first
A hours and 371a cents thereafter,
but that if he keeps the present en-
ployes their rate must be DETER
mined entirely by what they were
making prior to October "a. The
result would be to encourage dis
missal of some present employees
and to substitute for them new
employees whose base wage rate
could be whatever the employer
fixed unless he went below the alb
solute minimum of the act"
Administrator Andrews can give
only an advisory opinion in inter-
preting the act. The final decision
regarding its meaning rests with
the courts.
