THE WHITE PUSS HIT
An innovation was apparent in the
White Pass family when O.l.Pickeso
Vice President A: tleneraj Manager
extended an open invitation to all
employe to attend a dinner at the
Pullen House .that he might plve them
a better understanding of the condi
tions. Mr. Dickeson announced that
the meeting was mailed for two spe
cific purposes ; 11anv. lv that of becom
ing better acquainted with the men
themselves and their needs as well
as to give his ideas upon the pres
ent day conditions and the future of
the Company and the property. He
referred briefly to the policy outlined
in an interview in Seattle before com
rng here last spring to the effect that
it would not be his policy to bring
in men from the outside as long as
he could find men in the ranks to
fi-U the various positions And he
stated last ndpht that he had not
been disappointed in pursuing such a
policy as all the men had put their
shoulders to the wheed and demon
strated to the fullest extent their abil
ity to make good.
He referred to the fact that
this had been a very lean year and
that the tonnage of the company had
been about 45 percent of the tonnage
of the previous year, and in view of
this condition, which he did not cre
ate.. it did not seem fair that the
men should feel badly if the forecs
were reduced as long as he did not
create that condition and he had not
made a cut in salaries to meet it.
He took the position that all the
employes present were just as much
a part of the organization as the
management tts^lf. and for that rea
son he solicited ther counsel and
suggestions as to ways and means to
economize and render better service.
Mr. liickeson pointed out to the
men that the transportation facilities
here were to some extent in a class
by themselves and the rates could
hardly in farin<-ss be compared with
other roads, but he was very willing
to compare with all the roads in Am
erVa if they would compare all the
corresponding conditions It was
pointed out. that out of 234.W0 miles
of road in the 1'nited States. they
have a population of people per
mile, whereas o?i the White Pass
there was a population of 10 people
per mile: that it cost the railroad*
in the United ^tat^ seven mills per ,
ton nie to operate whereas tt cost
the White Pass tweJve cents and sev
en mills per ton mile to operate a?
a result of being so far removed
from the source of supplies and other
conditions
Mr. Pickeson complimented the me
very highly upon their past record in
operating the railroad, for the reason j
that hi the pass thirteen years of op I
juration they had carried is't."ix> i>as
sengers without a fatal accident,
>**nn thing the American railroads
liad not been able to accomplish. And !
it was stale*! that it was not merely
an accident that this condition pre
vailed. K was b? <aus?-. first the com
pany had put thir money back in th? i
property and maintained it at a high
degree of efficiency, as d had paid
high salary's to the very best men to
operate it, and it was due largely
' to those conditions that there had
!>oon no accidents.
He pointed out that the companj
had under way several matters wher
by the traffic of the country might
be built up. temporarily \ Igotow ef- j
forts will be uiade to induce tourists
to this part of the country and that
there was a possibility that the com
pany would instal oil on the road,
which in itself is a low grade traffic
and would increase the company's In
come slightly, but that it had a two
fold object. The greatest one being
that of redwing the coet of fuol to
tlie mining operations in the Klondik
regions, therefore enabling the opera
tors to work low grade ores, and there
by furnishing additional employment
for men.
He dweJt at some length upon the
future poesltoiHy oft he country, re
ferring briefly to a recent statement
in the S<?ttle Trnies made by Mr. Jas
?i. Hila to the effect tiiat Mr. Hill had
said them was only one frontier coun
try left where there was a possibil
ity of great development; namely 1
that ?'f Msisfca and the Yukon Terri- i
tory. He is quoted as saying that
men receive sustenance from three
sources; namely agriculture, mining
and forestry, and that Alaska and
the Yukon Territory were abundantly
supplied with these resourcse, and
that it was merely n question of de
vising a way 4o induce men to devel- ;
op 44.
Mr. Pickeson pointed out a* best
evidence of the fact that, there was
possibility in this community of grac
ing. that 200 horses were annually j
turned loose in the summer season
and returned to whiter quarters in j
the pink of condition without food
from the outside, that the Roundarv
survey horw^ were likewise turned
loose in winter and were put in ser
vice m the spring in the same con
dition . and thai in his opinion that
sufficient effort had not been nvade
to develop agriculture, grazing and
other industries from which it was ;
openly apparent residents of the Yu
kon Territory could receive a profit
able and permanent income.
All told the meeting was a grand
success and the men themselves dis
played much interest in the way the
problems were laid before them.
