rhe vhole northwest country, es
peclally Alaska, is deeply Interested
In the rato war which Is developing
among the transportation companies
plying along tho Yukon.
A little competition lu transporta
tion. like In other businesses, has
has long been considered tho life of
trade, aud Is now beginning to look
as though the adage Is to be demon
strated. Skagway is already (eel
lug the effects of the war. One In
cident his happened, which small in
Itself, yet shows as a straw to mark
the direction of the transportation
wind. There Is a consignment of
Yukon heating stoves, consisting of
several dozen, together with freight
of a non-perishable character at the
i'.arf in this port awaiting shipment
to Fort Yukon. The only reason
that this shipment is being made via
Skagwir Is owing to the cheapening
of rates. There Is no other reason,
for In the past such consignments
have always been made over tho
?
1> determined to get the transporta
tion business of the Iuterlor, and tho
tonnage will have to be handled
through this port. It is impossible
to tell at this time the extent of tha
Ur.na"\ but It will doubtless be
great, and whatever It Is, there will
tome the necessity of employing
uiore Skagway dock workmen and
more Ssagway train 'workmen and
< qulpmont to lake care of it. That
wlU mean larger pay rolls, and It Is
the pay rolls that puts ginger Into
tho life of any community.
With the ch< ripening of transpor
tation rates w'll come larger and
more frequent shipments; that In
turn will mean the more rapid de
velopment of the Interior country,
and soon the ores and products of
the North will be coming out and
hauls wt!5 bo made both ways.
It Is n>'' logical to presume that a
railroad company which has millions
ol dollar* involved. Is going to uban
dia business aud lose tho interest
and the capital Invested. It simply
must secure or create . business.
Tlure Is business to be secured and
there Is business to be created. No
matter h< .v many other railroads tho
government or private companies majj
build. It is going to take a long tluio
to begin their operation, and the tar
seeing managers of the White Pass
surely realize the advantages of be
ing first on tho grounds, and first to
cstabllsa a trade, and first to have
ttclr busluetui machinery in operation
aud working smoothly bofore others
come into the field.
Establishment is a pulling force.
M<n are creatures of habit. With
the White Pass already established
in tho field and doing business at a
rate which caunot be underbid by a
competitor, thore is every assur
ance that It will continue to do that
business for years to come.
It is svd that since the parcel po.C
forced the lessening of express rate: .
the express comanles are dolug sev
eral times tLo amount of business
they did before. The lower rates
have doubled the shlpmonts, it has
created new business, and even the
express companies, which heretofore
opposed the lessened rates, are now
admitting that it was tho best thing
t hut could have happened both for
the couutry and the companies.
We bsliove that !>. to be true of
the present transportation squabble.
The nejv rates will attract more
business, the country will develop
more rapidly and soon there will b<'
enough for all to enjoy increased
prosperity. Every added shipment
that goes through Skagway will
leave some of Its receipts here. Anil
?t Is here that we are most deeply In
lerested.
