MODEST ENGINEERS.
A.
I do feel very strongly that engi- teers, as a class, are too inarticulate. They prefer that their achievements should speak for them. There they make a big mistake. How often have we seen the credit for a clever piece of work filched from the man who was. really responsible, just because he was too retiring or toa altruistic to keep himself in evidence. I am not suggesting one moment that a brother engineer would willingly or wittingly rob another of the work of his hand and brain. Engineers, as a rule, are quick to recognise a meri- torious performance. But in all large and complicated enterprises there are always cthers-those whose work is administrative, or clerical, or merely ornamental. These persons are apt to get into the limelight and take all the kudos "not consciously, maybe, but simply and solely because they happen to be the only men in sight. Marine engineers suffer a considerable measure of eclipse of this sort. Their best efforts, often masterpieces of in- genuity and design; are entombed in a kind of steel coffin, and never again see the light of day. And they them
The new terminal will be known Smith Cove Pier B. It will be 2560 feet long and 365 feet wide. Eleven ocean-going vessels will be able to dock at one time along this pier. The first transit. shed will be 500 feet long and 1120 feet wide, but eventually the whart will have two transit. Sheds 1,000 feet long by 120 feet in width. At no port on the seven seas is there a commercial pier as large as this, according to officials of the Seattle Port Commission
The Substructure of the terminal is 80 per cent completed and the rock riprap work is 60 per cent. finished.
The new Seattle shipping terminal not only will be equipped with the modern devices for handling cargo, but will have passenger accommoda- tions, waiting rooms" and landing stages.
Work on the fill beneath the center of the wharf, which will require 615,000 cubic yards of earth, is pro- | gressing rapidly with only 5,000 cubic yards more to be placed,
The new pier will be practically a duplicate of the Port Commission's present Smith Cove Pier A, but considerably longer. The Fort of Seattle now has upwards of $13,000,000 invested in deepwater plers, transit sheds, grain elevators, cold storage plants and other ocean terminal facilities, all of which are. publicly owned and operated. Each month the operation of these facilit selves are out of sight also, and there-ies shows a profit, so that no tax 'fore out of mind...
