Patton's Aileen is a 22 year old boat powered by a 14-year-old die- sel engine developing 102 horsepow- er. The 48 foot boat was built in 1927 by the Hoffar-Beeching Ship- yard, Ltd., Vancouver, with the en- gine built by L. Gardner and Sons, Manchester, Englahd. This is the second name for the boat, the first one being Willobee G. Sunday afternoon, Mayor and Mrs. Waino Hendrickson were aboard the Eileen to meet Mayor and Mrs. George Muir of Nanaimo, B. C. The Muirs are passengers aboard the boat from their home city. Presented to Mayor Hen- drickson was a miniature wooden replica of the “Bastion.” The “Bastion” is the only Hudson Bay Co. fort in existence in Canada. A small museum is housed in it at the present time. The committee of judges who worked the logs over to decide the winners was made up of Howard Elford, observer on the Donjac, Jud Whittier, only Alaska judge for the event, and Ray Hart, skipper and owner of the Donolie.

ASHINGTON— The private power lobby pulled skillful wires in the Senate Appropriations Commit- tee last week and created a neat short circuit in one of Mr. Tru- man’s famous campaign promises. The effect was to switch public power over to the private utility companies in the west. H What the committee did was cut out appropriaticns for government transmission facilities vand invite private power companies to build them instead. This would stop public power from being transmit»l ted to the public—except LhruughI the private companies at their own higher rates. The committee voted so secretly] behind closed doors that its action was scarcely noticed by the press. Yet the effect was to sabotage the entire Truman public-power pro- gram.
