Another Boat for the
Westw ard Ron
Time whs wIih» people of thin vi
cimty and those at the westward
complained bitterly because of .he*
poor steamer and mail service fur
nished by the *‘Dota.M But y. are
have pr« ved that we dii not. know
wh^n v* e were well off.
N > less than a doz**n other s»* amirs
havu been put on the run from time
to time to replace the Dora, quite a
number of which have sinoe been
wrecked, and w ith the possible exo» p
tiou of two or three, the old Dora was
•i palace compared with any of them.
And now again ih* long-suffering
people west wnnl of Kodiak at-** forced
to endure another test of patience in
the shape of the power schooner Jos
eph Politzer.
The Politzer is 75 lone. 22 ft.
beam, 7.4 ft. depth of h**ld and 69
grog* tons capacity. She was built 26
y»-arsagoin Essen, Mass, for a pilot
boat, and for several years « »h
u-ed as such off the Columbia her
Shu had not proceeded f»r f m m
Seattle on her way to Seward, «b«n
she was obliged to put back for ro
pair*. Again at Ketchikan she had
to be repaired, and on reaching Jun
eau she went in dry dn<;k for r. pairs
on her engine and rudder Sha has
small freight capacity and unsuitable
accommodations for paasengers. And
it is safe to say that she will not la.t
long in these waters if she continues
to hare as many troubles as she has
had thus far on her westward trip
It certainly is the rankest impos
ition on the j eople west of Kodiak
to force them to depend on such a
craft for freight , mail and passeny. r
service.
