.\FTFJt SHIP OWNERS
Is I* the serious purpose of the
pr^eir administration to destroy ail
existing American steamship lines,
thus to pave the way; for the pas
sage of the government ownership
merchant marine bill? It would
seem so by the persistence with
which all governmental agencies
are getting afteT the steamship line?.
The latest Is in the attack up
on the Great Northern Railroad
company, which devised the
scheme of extending its transporta
tion service to California, through
the operation of a steamship line
from a terminal of its land lines at
tue mouth of the Columbia river,
and fur that purpose built two fine
steamships in the East. After the
contract was let congress passed
the Panama canal act, imposing
tolls upon American ships and
providing further that no vessels
owned by railroads should be per
mitted to operate through the can
al.
When the steamships of the
Great Northern were ready for sea
they were naturally dispatched
through the canal to this coast,
where they were to go into use.
Tqis mnj; be construed as a viola
tion of the letter, but it was in no
sense a violation of the spirit
of th» law. These vessels were
not built to opemta in trade
through the PanSma canal, but for
au entirely different route. They
passe-', through the canal merely to
reach -.heir new route.
Nevertheless, the Great Northern
is uow being prosecuted for its vio
lation of the law. The determina
tion cf this case may have a sert
ous beating on the question wheth
er the railroad company is to be i
permitted to operate its vessels on '
this coas' at all. This is a mat-;
ter entirely within the discretion
of the interstate commerce commis
sion to determine, congress having
intrusted it with the exercise of i
this extraordinary power. — Seattle j

You nave undoubtedly noticed that a number of your negotives
taken during the past summer have been flat. This isdue to UNDER
exposure and the way to pet the best results is to use a tri-pod, giving
a little time to the taking of the picture. Try it—the result will more
