PRESIDENT OF WHITE PASS TELLS
OF PROJECTED jMPflOVEMENTS
Extensions Made to Meet Competition
?Fairbanks Connection, He Says,
Will Redound to Benefit of Seattle
and other Puget Sound Ports.
O. L. Olckcson, president of the
WliHo Pass & Yukon Railway ??y?
tein, arilved In Souttlle yesterday
from England, and. with Mrs. Dicke
r-on, is at the New Washington ho
tel, says the Seattle 1M for May 15.
His minion abroad was to at
tend . tho annual meeting of stock
holders Mid directors of tho line.
As a result of the meeting and con
ference lie Is able to announce Im
portant projects in tho way of ex
tending the transportation facilities
of the line by rail and water.
Vessels tor the lower Yukon ser
vicp are now being completed In
Whltehors;*. to bo ready, President
Diekeson states, for tho opening of
uuvlgation about June 5.
"1 have ftoen, While In the Ham",
ho said, "a public statement from
our competitors to tho effect that
we would neither be ready to oper
ate at the opening of navigation,
nor could ve continue this -expen
sive service. Statements of this
kli u uk selfish, and answer them
''In ordor that there may bo no
misunderstanding, however, I *.-111
state that the White Pass rails ;ire
laid, our boats nre built and our
service announced, and no matter
what haptens In the way of compe
tition, w-j do not expect to take up
oui rails or place our bo/Us on the
& Yukon route In forming a connec
tion to Fairbanks will hnvo a far
reaching effect, and will undoubted'?]
.-edound to the benefit of the I'uget '
sound territory generally. Of this 1
a largo percentage of tho lower
Yukon liver trade in Yukon terrl
1 1 sco, w lien it properly and right-'
Oily belonged to Seattlo and Van
couver, and as every merchant in
the Pu?et sound territory knows,
this trade was unnually dwindling
and being steadily diverted to San
rraucisco by reason of the fact thai
tnose who controllod the larger:
majority of the trade also controlled
tho transportation, and the rates
were made in such a way as to dis
criminate in their own favor to the
exclusion of tho smaller merchant.
"To Illustrate, a man who ship
ped l.OOo tons or more of freight
obtained a certain rate, while a man
who shipped less than 1,000 tons
1*m Id a very much lilgor rate, and
tli- essoiico of tho whole situation
w. ? that there wero very few that
shipped i oro than 1.000 tons ex
cept thofe who controlled the trans
portation company, and the Inde
pendents, therefore, could not pos
sibly continue to compete for any
considerable length of time with
any sueh basis of rates. Now, how
ever, tula situation Is entirely chanx- ,
cd bee.iu.se of tho White Pass com
pany going after this Fairbanks traf
tic. Our only Interest is that of
co.iUucttiiK transportation, and wo
li'tvo taken the wholesale rato ac
corded to John Doo, who shipped
I.Ovv tuns, and mnde that our bas
ing ri.tc and wo givo the same rate
to everyone, whether ho shlpB one
or 1,000 tons.
"Now, this takes the Individual
merchant out of the grasp of thoso
formerly controlling the transporta
tlcn and merchandising and places
them in a position to compete, and
e'ery Independent merchant In Alas
ka, and the Yukon territory today
iheuld bo accorded infinitely greater
credit, if credit Is desired, than
Kretofore, to assist the independent
>? bulldMig up a large trude, or they
:.ro financially stronger than here
tofore by having an additional
transportation company in the field
wl.ose Interest Is that of making
thom successful by a superior ser
vice at reasonable rates.
"With the inauguration of the
l> w service the time will be short
ened vory materially as compared
with the long, tedious and hazard
ous routo via St. Michael, thero be
ing very long waits between tho ar
rival of tho ocean and departure
of river boats, with practically all
ihy former delays at Dawson await
ing conneetlons eliminated.
"With tho new sorvlce from Seat
tle to Skagway and direct connec
tions at Whltohorso with river
steamers which go straight through
to Fairbanks, It is possible to get
to Fairbanks In eloven days, as
c. mpared with threo or four weeks
via St. Michael,
The new steamers connecting with
e.,, Canadian bouts at Dawson are
tin- finest over put in service on
il e Yukon river, and our slogan
?vlll bp "A superior through service
In respo.f to meals, time and gen
i comfort. ' Wo have not raised
liie rates or this fast und new ser
vice, but If ono figured that his
line was worth money ho could well
afford 10 pay a considerable addl
tioi ul sum to take this Interior routa
i\j it Is l.'.OO miles shorter and more
(oniforttble In every respect".
