SAFETY IS DEMANDED.
Dawson News:Yukoners have no
sympathy with an apologist for neg
ligence or other contributory causes
of the numerous shipwrecks on the
North Pacific coast. The Dawson
News joined with other papers In
protestiui; against the numerous
wrecks which have occurred of late
in those waters, particularly
vessels carrying passengers and gen
eral traffic for Alaskan and Yukou
points. Seattle has a publication
known as th® Railway and Marine
News, which takes exception to the
Dewson News, and «ays iu part:
The rcnst for the ships was also
all wrong. It. is true that ships
have been wrecked, but the operat
ing companies are not to blame. The
same accident might happen to any
company and, in fact, every one of
I the. larger companies has met with
disaster, the latest being th« Prin
cess Maquinna and the Curacoa."
The one specific accident referred
to in the foregoing quoted para
graph is that to the Spokane several
weeks ago. The telegraphic advices
sent out in the beginning stated
the shn was wrecked, and losse*
heavy. The Railway and Marine
News says that the Spokane had an
accident, and that she "did not
strike any obstruction but that wa
ter filled her hold, through au opes
cock."
It would be interesting to see the
Seattle scribe explain why thero
should rot be as much blame at
tached to the seaman or navigating
officer rtsponsible for an open cock
which fills a ship as there Is to a
sailor or skipper who directs a boat
on the rocks, resulting in equal
risk, and perhaps loss of life and
property. One act may be as seriou
as the other. Scarcely can a ship
w hich properly equipped, properly
navigated, and properly attended
meet wth such accidents.
It is safe to say that but for the
human element of ignorance, error
or m'sj'idgment or want of ade
quately and efficiently equipped
craft which enters into seafaring an
handling of ships, many precious
lives am? many splendid cargoes and
fine ships lost in Alaskan and Brit
ish Columbian waters would have
escaped the tragic fate. And to
those might be added the losses
due mo! • nearly to the unavoidable
and inevitable when great storms
overcome all the most excellent
craft man can build, driving them
at times of unforseen contingency
against obstructions or engulfing
J them in mighty waters. But in
most cases of wreck there is neg
lect to be traced either to care
less seamanship, lack of strict en
forcement of marine laws by govern
ments or shipowners, lack of equip
ment for lighting of vessels in dan
gerous waters, want of adequate ma
rine surveys or some other provis
ions.
Trace up the long list of wreck#
on the orth coast, with the grim
total of deaths, and In most cases
the ultimate findings will show
where there might have been pre
cautions and better provision which
would have averted the disasters.
The Dawson News has no apolo
gies to make for waging a fight for
safer and better ships for the North
coast waters, nor for protesting vig
orously against those certain casse
in which there have been positive in
stances of negligence, or incompe
tency or ignorance or lack of sobri
ety. The shipping world know* amd
winks at too many such instances.
The traveling world knows much
of the inside facts and the govern
ments and others have often been
too slow in bringing on reforms.
Neither is the Dawson News fawn
lug to the Seattle waterfront pink
tea society to espouse the cause
of any one steamer line nor mincing
matters for any steamship line nor
boosting nor defending any line ply
ing on the coast. While good ship#
are in us© in many instances, too
many old style steamers have been
sloughed into northern watens, and
ancient craft made to do service for
the Northland—a region which has
poured a stream of gold into coaat
cities, revitalizing them, and render
ing opulent the steamer companies
and many dependent upon them. Th«
Northern people applaud each aud
every one of the companies when
they put on new ships, and all the
old lines have done this to a degree.
But the maintenance in trade of >
craft more fitted for coffins should
be resented in every instance. A
mere accident to any ono ship does
not class It as a discard.but stricter
discipline In most accidental cases
would have avoided losses to ship
ping men as well as patrons. Tha
companies from mere selfish stand
point should have even a greater
keenness than has the average pa
tron to render the best of service
with least loss. An agitation bring
ing reform redounds first to the bon
efit of the ship owner.
To help out the general reform
aud to Insure life and property the
Nortnern public should not plead
for, but demand, more safeguards
and stricter enforcements of regu
lations.
Seattle apologists who depend
solely on transportation lines for
their existence will do themselves a
kindness by getting in line aud
helping the Dawson News and other
legitimate Northern papers in their
campaign for the best possible ser
vice. It is time for Seattle to see
that all her denizens put away the
hammers lifted against tho move
ments on behalf of the people of the
Northland—the land which is the
Seattle bread basket, the land which
lifted Seattle from bankruptcy and
made possible her annual Potlatch,
her festival in celebration of pros
perity.
Let the Seattle spirits of prog
ress reason with their callow youths
who fail to see the wealth which
flows In in constant stream from
the North. Thfcn perhaps they may
be ready to work for Bafety to the
Northern life and trade.
