is practically completed and will be
launched tomorrow noon from the
shop " opposite the Skating Rink,
where it was constructed by Mr. H.
Grieks, an expert boat buider of
long experience.
The boat is a model of its kind
fully equipped with nearly all the
conveniences of a modem ship. Hot
and cold water, heated with hot
water, electric light and everything
necessary to make up comfort for
its occupants. Large enough to ac
commodate several people comfort
ably. Besides, the builder says
will be as speedy as any around the
country.
A noteworthy feature of the boat
is that it was constructed with
lumber from our forest, exclusively
and from the local mill.
Mr- Foord says that at the launch
ing of “his pride” he intends to
open a keg of "nails” and invites
everybody to attend the ceremony

ANOTHER WAY OF
LOOKING AT IT
Ketchikan, Alaska, March 31, 1916
Mr. Editor:
I notice in your yesterday’s is
sue, Mr. ‘Tfcink It Over says it
might not be out of place to look
up the record and see "'ho composed
the Council when this salt-water
“scheme” was pulled off. Scheme!
The idea that any man should call
that a scheme! It is an indication
of one of two things, lack of in
telligence, or of strict honesty.
The facts in regard to this so
called scheme, as I remember them
now, are that at the time of the
Ryus’ fire, we had a small salt-wat
er pump on a barge at the foot of
Dock Street. It took some little
time to get this pump working,
and during that time the fresh wat
er, on account of poor pressure,
seemed to be loosing ground on
the flames- As soon as the pump
got to working, it could be plainly
seen that the fire would soon be
under control. It is my opinion,
and I think also that of nearly
everybody there, that it saved the
entire lower end of the town, in
cluding the Tongass and Heckman
stores, the S. S. docks, and every
thing to and including the saw
mills. ^
This frightened the business-men
so that a number of them came
before the Council and urged them
to establish a regular salt-water
fire protection system, puttiug jn
mains all over the main part of.
town, and buy and install a larger
pump.
The wisdom of this so-called
scheme showed itsself at the time
of the James’ fire, when the whole
hill including the school house and
the court house, was in danger of
being destroyed, on account, if I
remember rightly, of the fresh
water pipes being frozen up.
Now figure up for yourself how
much probable paving this “scheme”
has been the cause of. The cost
all told, of plant and maintenance,
was about $13,000. Can you make
it look like bad management? Be
sides the pipe is yet in use, both
the high pressure main and the old
system as before.
J. R. Heckman appeared before
the Council and declared that this
‘scheme,” when it was under deli
beration, was the soundest proposi
tion that the Council had yet con
sidered. Every business-man and
property holder knows that it prov
ed so, by the lower fire-insurance
rate that followed, and the more
favorable re-rating of the fire risk
of the whole town, that at once
followed.
Yours Truly
