The Bobolink has been the snagboat in this district for many years and has given noble service. The vessel was formerly named the Cygnet. On completion of the new boat, it is understood the Bobolink hull will be offered lor sale. Since her arrival in port on morning from Vancouver : where she was built in Menshtons shipyard, the new fifty-five loot power cruiser Naskeena, for use of the Indian Department out of this port, has been inspected by many local citizens. Although of attractive lines, there is nothing very fancy about the Naskeena, but she Is a very substantial and evidently excellently built vessel and should be well suited for the work she will be called upon to carry out. Roomy inside quarters, including a spacious engine room, are features of the boat, the cost of which it is understood was in the neighborhood of $13,000. The Naskeena is moored at the floats of the Pacific Salvage Co. which will probably be her permanent quarters. The vessel was brought up the coast by Capt. D. Barry, who sailed Thursday night by the Prince Rupert on his return to Vancouver after having turned the boat over to Indian Agent W. E. Collison that day. the next fishing season.

' It will provide his family, for a period of years, with the greatest amount of real protection at the lowest cost. Then, as his financial position improves, he can convert the policy into a limited pay life, straight life, endowmer.t or some other form of permanent insurance. By so doing he doesn't lose what he has paid in, but enjoys the full benefits of the utmost protection at the time when his family needs It most and when his salary is limited.
