CARRY PILOTS
INSTEAD OF MATES
.Seattle, June 13—A decision
was made yesterday by Super
vising Inspector General Uhler
of the Steamboat Inspection
Service for this district that is
very interesting to the men
employed on Alaska steamships
and the coinpanys operating
them. According to the recen!
law passed by Congress, no
officer shall stand more than
four hours on, and eight o!:,
in one shift. That requires all
boats to carry three males, ami
would abolish the position of
Pilot. The Pilots make n kin1,
and said that as they were of
ficers already, the mates were
unnecessary and that they
would all lake their rating ami
stiip as mates either first, sec
ond or third. Inspector L 1 icr
has now decided that the boats
need not carry mates but tha'.
the rating of Pitot should con
tinue.

LOOSEN UP FOR A
BIG CELEBRATION
Well, what about it? Here
the Finance Committee is out
rustling their heads off trying
to raise money for the cele
bration on the Fourth of July
ami everbody seems to hang
back and not w’ant to contri
bute on account of a personal
grudge against the city. What,
it you have? If the people of
this town arc not big enough
in spirit and fair minded en
Oiigii lo realize that a celebra
i.on oil that day is of benefit
tu Ihe whole comunity it is
lime they crawled in a hole and
pulled the hole in after them.
V celebration on that day ben
efits everybody. Some it bene
fits directly by an increase in
! i siness and others in indirect
ways, but everybody gets some
good out of it. The Fourth of
.July is the only day or the year
that the people of ihe town
have to loosen up for a public
celebration and they ought to
do it willingly. If they won’t
do it willingly then the town
11,light just as well tack a sign
out that it is a dead one and he
none with it. Because you wiU
get that name all over the dis
trict anyway if you don’t cele
j brale.
