COMMUNICATION
Mr. Editor:.
Allow mo space In your valuable .
paper to call attention to the water ;
front property of Ketchikan. I have '
been moving around from dock to
dock trying to have rcpaire done on
my boat and take on stores, and out
side of the Northern Machine Works,
and the two cold storages there Is ]
no means for a person to get up or
down from a boat, and I suppose the
three mentioned would be like the
rest only for their own benefit. Now
all the business done in the town is
done by boat and ninety-nine per
cent is small boats. It is true.there
are a few floats which the very, small
ones lay to, but even at that, they
have not got half room enough, they
jammed up so they smash them-,
selves up every blow which causes j
great loss to owners. Now the larger]
boats cannot lay to the floats even if i
there were more of them as they i
would smash up the small ones. It
would be a case of survival of the fiti
test.
Now, surely, the boats and schoon-1
ers coming to Ketchikan bring j
□nough business to the town for the
;ity or some one e'se t0 aff°rd steps
nailed on the pilling for the accomo
dation of the men who man them.:
Zou have had and will have a great
many accidents by men getting off
and on the boats. Some were killed,;
some drowned and quite a few hurt
or maimed for life. A few years ago
am man went to Washington to try j
and bettel conditions for the fisher-'
men with poor success but had he
stayed at Ketchikan and out steps on
tiis wharf he would bo helping them
a oreat deal more.
One prooerty owner I understand
had the steoj taken off because the
boats were laving there, but Mr. Edit- j
ar, they are all willing to do business
e/ith us but they never ask us when
«ve go to oive orders or nay a bill,
how did you oet uo on the wharf. I
auess they think we pack airships
alonq nowadays. Now Mr. Editor, we
fon't want golden stairs or any fancy
sndinq olaces. I do think there
should be some means of gettinq off
hese boats, there is some men in the
boat business that heloed to build
•his town and all of us are heloing to
*reo it uo so I think we ought to get
‘^at much accomodation.
Honino this will bn taken seriously
'nd thank you for your valuable
mace,
yours,
A Boat Man.
TREAT ‘EM ROUGH’
N. R. Walker has been appointed
Ketchikan agent for the Treat ‘Em
Rough” magazfne and will be glad to
receive subscriptions for the same,
$2.40 a year or $1.20 for six months.
During the war this magazine was
the official organ of the Tank Corp,
but will now be devoted to putting
the boys back on the firing line at
home, irrespective of what branch of
he service they served in. adv
With so many women working men
may as well get used to rocking the
cradle.
SomP of the best news in the war
turns out so often never to have hap
pened.
It is pretty hot to think about fuel,
but now is the time to get your coal
'or next winter.
The summer girl continues to wear
furs about her neck to keep her silk
covered ankles warm.
It is not enough that prices be
'ixed for chickens. There ought to be
a limited on their apetites. too.
Afterall, work or fight is simply an
other way of expressing the old-time
sentiment of “fish or cut bait.”
In spite of the U-boat, transoceanic
travel continues to be enormous and
the passenger lists most dintinguished.
Slacker laws, being enacted by
many states. are forcing loafers to
go to war, go to work or go to jail,
effective justice.
If France kec>ps on naming streets
nd woods after Americans, after the
var tourists will fee] very much at
lome.
Sometimes it is possible to get too
much of a good thing ,but not when
he good thing is War Savins stamps.
