FISHERMEN ARE KICKING
Capt. Alfred Edwards and tlie crew
of the halibut schooner Helgoland
fee that they have a decided reason
for complaint against the Alaskn
Steamship Company. It appears that
on the twenty-sixth of August a wire
was sent Senttle ordering a new
shaft and propeller for the Helgoland,
as she had lost hers nnd had been
towed in to port. The wire odered
that the equipment be sent on the
first passenger boat, and it was de
livered at the dock in Seattle August
20 of 27, for the Alameda to bring
north. That ship and the Jefferson
came without it however, and those on
the Helgoland, sixteen men in all have
been held up here unable to do any
thing for o.loso to two weeks. A wire
sent yesterday elicited the reply that
the missing shaft nnd wheel are still
on the dock in Seattle. It Is un
fortunate that such an occurrence ns
this is allowed by the steamship
company. In the past, the Alaska
Steamship company has been prompt
and painstaking in attending to our
wants in the freight line, and that,
very quality has built up for them
the excellent business they are now
enjoying, but such occurrences as this
—nnd it is not the only one reported
during the present season—will result
in their losing what they have labor
ed so hard to gain.
