Don’t take chances on Roofing, for
you can now have roofing insurance.
J-M Regal Roofing is absolutely guar
anteed against leaks due to defects ir,
the roofing.
And that guarantee is as good as a
government oond, for it’s signed by the
makers, a $3,000,000.00 company.

is made entirely in the Regal people’s
own mills. They know the quality of
every square inch of it. That’s why
they can guarantee it. '
They make the wool felt—know that
it is the best quality, long-fibred wool.
They refine and process their own
asphalt—get it direct from Lake Trini
dad. No man has yet found anything
else half as good for waterproofing.
So here is a roofing that is proof
against the broiling sun, against, enow
and rain, freezing and thawing, the
oxygen in the air and the other things
which so soon ruin other wool felt roof
ings. J-M Regal Roofing is also highly
fire-resisting.
Samples are free; also an interesting
book on roofing.

Klondike Rush
Steamer Goes in
the Scrap Heap
Out of the mists of the forgotten
pdst, decrepit and worn, yet wiith
lingering traces of beauty chat told
of sweeter days—suggestive of noth
ing so much as the aged shadow of
a once lovely woman—came the old
steamship Victorian yesterday after
noon to play a pitiful role, says the
j Seattle Times of last Sunday.
She emerged from obscurity for
the linal act of all.
Ignored, forgotten for years, un
known to a generation that talks of
foreign trade with Vladivostok, the
long-lined vessel that once reigned
as undisputed belle of the Puget
1 Sound fleet was towed to the beach
| near Four Mile Hock anil ru:: ore.
There she is to be stripped of every
thing of value left on her. 'lhen she
will be given to the flames, accord
ing to information received by the
: office of Port Warden A. A. Paysse.
Time was when waterfront eyes
brightened and waterfront hearts
beat faster as the Victorian sped at
i a ‘20-knot clip out of Seattle harbor
i for Victoria, 13. C. In those days
>ha could take the measure of the
Flyer, the boat that advertised, “Fly
on ti Flyer,” a legend that was jus
tified. No Puget Sound boat ever
t., c ; d the Victorian’s record un

Sound Navigation company's speedy

Was Fast Craft.
Built of wood in Portland, Ore., in
1891, for the old Oregon Railroad &
Navigation company, the Victorian
was long and slender, having a
length of 242.3 feet, a beam of 30
feet and a depth of 1.55 feet. She
was of 1504 gross tons. She was de
signed especially for the Oregon
Railroad and Navigation company’s
Tacnma-Seattlc-Vietoria service. Kvcn
in those days the traveling public
was for.d of speed and the slim
I hulled Victorian’s record shows that
I they got it.
The Victorian was designed by
( apt. J. W. Troup, now marine sup
erintendent of the Canadian Pacific
fleet at Vancouver, B. C. Speed and
more speed, was the demand of her
owners, and hence they ordered en
gmes 01 tremendous power tor a
vessel of her size and type. The en
! sines in fact, were so large that to
| install them it was necessary to cut
I away some of the vessel’s timbers.
As a result, the Victorian was like
a human being that lives to ofast,
burning the candle at both ends. Her
heart wa.- too big and powerful for
her body. So she had a swift but
short career. Her engines shook the
life out of her.
Hud Many Owners.
In hitting up the high spots of
life, she passed from time to time
1 from one control to another. Shi
?ave good—and always speedy—ser
vice in the Puget Sound-Victoria
'•oute. Then in 181)8, she joined the
Alaska fleet that was called into ex
istance by the Klondike rush. At one
time she was operated by Dodwell
& company. At another time she
shone for a period in the Seattle
Bellingham route when she was com
manded by Captain Clancy, a very
prominent mariner. Then in 11)07 she
fell under the control of the Canad
ian Pacific railroad, which used her
for a while as a car ferryboat be
tween Vancouver and Naniamo.
After that she sank into obscurity,
played out by an excessively speedy
life. She passed into the ownership
of the late W. D. Hoflus. Some time
ago she was sold by the Hoflus es
tate to the Goldberg interests of Van
couver. In the meantime she had
laid idle for many years in the East
Waterway, but last spring was ban
ished from that channel and went to
Eagle Harbor. A fe wday sago she
was towed to Smith Cove, where she
was stripped of her machinery and
yesterday came her last vowage of
all, when, broken and decrepit, she
was towed to Four Mile Rock. Much
of value still remains in her hull. It
is copper sheathed, and copper is val
uable.
There were no moist eyes when
the Victorian was towed to her fun
i eral pyre. Faded belles, say water
front men, rarely win a tear .
