GALE
The Juneau Dispatch publishes the
following account of the experience of
the Alameda, on her last trip south,
after leaving Cordova:
The Alameda, the speedy liner of
Alaska Steamship Company, arrived in
the city yesterday forenoon after suc
cessfully weathering one of the worst
gales and roughest seas ever experi
enced bv a ship in Alaskan waters in
the vicinity of Cape St. Klias and liin
chinbrook. Statements from many of
the passengers while the ship was in
port yesterday were to the effect that
the vessel had experienced one of the
worst gales imaginable; that the wind
blew at the rate of !W miles an hour
for quite a period; that it was impos
sible to turn back, which it did after
difficulty, and seek shelter In the lea
of Hinchinbrook. During the blow
many of the passengers put on life
preservers, others were thrown around
in their staterooms; one passenger
told of receiving bruises on his legs
from being thrown around in his state
room.
During the gale the terrible velocity
of the wind for over an hour inces
santly blew the whistle and rang the
ship’s bell, which frightened many of
the passengers; heavy seas frequent
ly broke over the pilot house, and the
sea washed over the docks into the
state rooms. During the entire storm
the ship, while it rolled and tossed and
bucked the waves, was ever staunch
and braved the elements in excellent
style.
Captain ("linger said: "Yes, it was
a terrible gale, and then some."

SHOPS CLOSED i
ST 8 P, M.
LONDON, Nov. 20. — The latest
drastic act for government control of |
business in the interest of war effi
ciency is the law passed by parlia
ment for early closing of shops. All
shop keepers, great and small must
shut up their places of business at 8
o'clock, except on Saturday nights,
when they may keep open until ft
o’clock. The first proposal was for
even earlier closing, but the Dill was |
amended to grant an extra hour for i
five days of the week, by changing I
seven to eight.
The chief object aimed at is eco
many of heating and lighting, which, i
of course, means economy of coal. One
of the groat assets of Great Britain
during the war is its revenue from
the exportation of coal, and moreover
its allies need all they can get. Like
every other war measure, however,
this act excites opposition and creates
complications, although the people as
a whole will accept it cheerfully as!
they have other inconveniences.
The small shop keepers who live
at their places of business are the
ones who find most objection. One
ground of criticism is that the pub
lic houses are si ill to be opened un
til half past nine. "Why should men
and women he allowed to gather in
drinking places and buy beer, if they
cannot loaf in a cigar store and buy
cigars, and gossip with the clerk?" is
one of the questions asked. Places
where meals are served may remain
open, but only for the purpose of giv
ing meals. They cannot sell cigars,
nor can they sell candy or food to
be taken off the premises, since the
aiiopkeepel a deaiiiig in the same com
modities are forbidden to sell. Nor
can the night hawks who have carts
in the streets for dispensing coffee
and lunches to late workers, accord
ing to some construction of the law,
sell cakes to be taken away.
Some of the complications concern
places of amusement. "The theatres
and music halls must not sell cigars
and confectionary after 8 o'clock if
we cannot," say the small shop keep
ers. "That would be class legislation,
and unfair competition." Smokers
who are up late, hereafter, must have
tobacco in their pockets, or go with
out. I
