Need some help with KHQM Approach Plate

[msw]

I know there's alot of smart guys out there, so maybe somebody can answer some questions. I was looking at the KHQM (Hoquiam, WA) ILS approach plate, and had the following questions:

(1) Why are the minimums for the straight-in ILS 24 approach higher than the minimums for the straight-in LOC only approach? (800 and 2 for the ILS and 600 and 3/4 for the LOC only appch)

(2) What do the distance references for the transitions from the ULESS and the SOUPY IAF's refer to? [The notations show 183 degrees (7.3) and LOC (4.5) from ULESS; and 286 degrees (5.9) and LOC (4.5) from SOUPY. ]

Here's the link for the approach plate, if I copied it correctly.

1. There is a 493' obstacle penetrating the path of the GS. On the LOC/DME approach, they are able to build a stepdown that allows you to clear the obstacle safely and descend further. On the GS, you would not have appropriate clearance, so you must either be able to see and avoid the obstacle or go missed.

2. Good question. Can't figure it out without my Jepps.
