On one Canadian route, from Hali- fax, the order is reversed. Danger of collisions between eastbound and westbound vessels has mever heen so great in the Pacific as in the Atlantic because of the smaller volume of traffic and the greater size of the ocean. Several years ago, however, the navy hydrographic office charted east and west outes from Se- attle and Portlan. to Yokohama by way of Honolulu, and it is thought that the time now has come to present them for inter- national accegtance. The routes from Portland and Seattle would follow approximate- ly the line of ‘the Great Circle to Yokohama, and vessels passing each other would keep fo the right, as in the Atlantic. But in the Honolulu to Yokohama lanes, this order would be reversed and vessels would keep to the left, as in the automobile traffic of Lon- don and Ontarie. This is due to the fact that the westbound route has been charted far to the south of the easthbound, in order *: take advantage of the Japan current. 1| By heading toward the north af- < |ter leav Yokohama, eastbound vessels are helped by the north- flowing current, and by approach. ing from the south, westboundi ones are not hindered by it. ——e e ——— WILLIAM POWERS DEAD who entered Morningside Sanitarium from Ju- Alaska, |neau on May 21 of last year, died there, on Appik- 19 and was buxjed Dunn this s s sursived igg whoa passenger tor Port Graham on son, who are to spend some time children with} | don’t want their ranches develop | lHL DAILY ALASKA E.MPIRE VlONDAY APRIL 30, 1928.
