DEFENDING IN REVIEW
OF SMALL CARRIERS
WASHINGTON, Sept. 17. (^—Al
though conceding that the great
ocean liners, such as the Leviathan
and the Majestic, have their places
in the shipping world, credit for car
ry the bulk of the world’s ocean
commerce is given to the cargo lin
ers and tramps in a review made
recently public by the Great Lakes
St. Lawrence Tidewater Association.
The association made its statement
as a defense of the proposed St.
Lawrbnce ship channel project, de
claring it was idle to suppose the
Leviathan and Majestic type of ships
would steam directly into the ports
of Duluth and Chicago.
Cargo vessels devoted to freight
service are rarely large, a majority
of them drawing less than 25 feet
of water, the statement said, adding
that they must be small enoughk to
enter several ports at both ends of
their journey to obtain full cargo.
Counting the numerous trips of ex
press liners to New York, the state
ment in foreign trade for 1922 shows
that out of 8,526 inward and outward
trips 70.7 per cent were in vessels
of less than 25 foot draft and 93.S
per cent with draftfe under 30 feet.

in and out of New York and calling
at Boston are not necessary to the
success of the St. Lawrence ship
channel,” the association continued.
‘‘New Orleans and Galveston have
reached great commercial importance
though they can accommodate only
light draft vessels. It is an error
to assume that a 30-foot channel
can be navigated only by vessels
drawing less than 25 feet. Such
conditions are applicable only at en
trance channels of exposed ports.
Vessels drawing 29V2 feet navigate
the 30-foot channel to Houston. In
the protected waters of the Detroit
and St. Lawrence Rivers and in the
St. La^vrence and Welland Canals,
vessels load to utilize every avail
able inch. Small ocean ships navi
gate the present 14-foot St. Law
rence Canal drawing 13V6 feet and
more.
“At the ocean entrance of the St.
Lawrence nature has provided depths
ranging up to 100 fathoms. A 30
foot channel thru the 33 miles of
canal involved in the St. Lawrence
development will freely navigate ves
sels loaded to 29 feet. The large
liners such as the Adriatic, Baltic,
Cedric and Celtic are not expected
in the Great Lakes ports any more
than they are expected at -Philadel
phia, Wilmington, Baltimore, Charles
ton, Savannah, Jacksonville, Mobile,
New Orleans, Galveston, Houston
and other highly successful commer
cial ports.”
Camille McGowan, proprietor of the
California Pool Hall in Anchorage, re
ceived a postal card from Paris, on the
last mail, from Joe Mataiya, a former
employe of Loussacc’s Drug store. The
postal was dated Paris, July 31, and
stated, “Just a few lines to inform you
that I arrived safely in Paris and am
leaving for Switzerland tomorrow. Re
gards to you and all the ‘rummy
hounds.’ ”

London Pedestrians to
Wage Gigantic Battle
On Reckless Drivers
LONDON, Sept. 17. (/P)—In conse
quence of the increasing number of
road traffic casualties, which have
almost trebled in the past seven
years, a “Pedestrians Protection So
ciety” has been formed with the ob
ject of insuring its members against
street accidents and to provide legal
advice for them.
The society asserts that figures
collected show cases of death and
personal injury totalled 98,215 last
year. It contends those accidents
should decrease, and intends to take
steps to prevent dangerous and reck
less driving as well as to control
the speed of motor vehicles in towns
and villages.
J. E. Umbach, surveyor general for
British Columbia, paid a visit to the
Cassiar district last month for the
purpose of making a personal, investi
gation of recent developments there
in view to sending in a survey party
early next season to do the work that
is becoming necessary on account of
recent developments.
Little Mary Hunter, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Bill Hunter, met with a
most unusual accident in Anchorage
last week. A carpenter was putting
a lock on one of the doors and was in
the act of boring a couple of holes
when Mary poked an index finger into
one of the holes from the opposite
side. Unaware of the presence of
the little finger, the carpenter began
boring again and the bit dug into the
finger so deeply that it had to be am
putated at the first joint.
After a stay of five months in the
Circle district looking after assess
ment work on their ground, Mr. and
Mrs. George Blondo returned to Fair
banks recently with a small quantity
of gold which they obtained from an
open cut where they were prospecting.
They have a group of 14 claims on
Harrison creek, tributary to Birch and
believe they have a splendid hydraulic
proposition.
Mrs. Amelia Bayley, of Hull, Eng

When policeman James Casey of
Chicago fired at a fleeing thief the
bullet went through ten pairs of pants
hanging in a tailor shop, and the thief
got away.
John Ferguson of Chicago told the
judge that burglary was a habit he
could not stop. Ten years in the pen
was prescribed as a habit-breaker.
George Linton rushed to the Bellvue
hospital screaming that he was dying.
Investigation disclosed that he had
merely swallowed a tadpole.
