The Pally Alaskan Is not ffolntf <0
enter tot" the campaign that Is brine
over the White Pm freight
ami i?as*>oger rate* on one aide or the
other. However, It i? foinc to suggest
that the question it one that cannot be
settled with equity to all concerned by
political campaign methods. It Is
reallv not a question that can be deter
mine*! oy >ublic opinion. There Is
none of us but that would like to be
carried free and have our freight
handled for nothing. That is as nat
ural as is the craving of the stockhold
ers of the White Pass, or any other
company for that matter, for dividends.
If selfish interests oolv were to be con
sidered, the people of the north would
vote unanimously, probably, for radical
reductions In tariffs, while the White
Pass would consider dividends the
principal feature.
The question is one to be determined
by just such a commission ss the Can
adian government has selected, and
that commission must be determined
in it* course by the earnings of the
company when its affairs are eco
nomically administered. The share
holders are entitled to a fair remuner
atioa for their scttial capital and the
hazard of their investment. To arrive
at that Is a matter tor experts.
The rates of the White Pass ? re high,
of course, but before one is qualified to
say they are too high he must look
Into all the facts and figurea. It must
be remembered that the tonnage and
passenger traffic on the White Pass is
to.*
. .n
? SO
? so
small as compared witn toai on me
roads at the south, and that what ton -
cage ihere is is carried only one way
and must be handled during the few
months of summer. Outing the long
winter the losses run into enormous
figures.
It is all right for citizens and com
mittees to Investigate this .'matter but
instead of appealing to selfish interests
or popular prejudices, figures and facts
should be be sought and applied to act
ual conditions.
There should be no objection on the
part of the moat exacting taxpayer to
the proposition to increase the pay of
C. T Moore from #100 to 1125 per
month. The work, annoyance and res
ponsibilities of his many offices entitle
him to a liberal salary.
Juneau papers have discovered that
Alaska no longer turns the fifth dipit
to the blue canopy whenever Juneau
says thumbs up.
ALASKA HAS
A NEW ISLAND
Alaska has a new island In Herins
sea. The story to the effect that a vol
canic disturbance had thrown one up
during the winter, received l?st March,
has been confirmed. Officers of the
8 teams. nip Omaha, which recently ar
rived at Seattle, say they were ftold by
the office-* of the revenue cutter Perry
that they passed near the island . L
I* Rales,the{wel! known' Alaskan travel
ler. says he saw it and was near it.
In connection with this island comes
the information that sn old volcano at
the headwater* .if the Pelly river has
hurst out anew and is belching fire and
lava The volcano and the new Island
are about 400 mile* apart It Is thougt
there might be some connection
between the two.

C. T. Mooro, Skagway's chief of
polio*, city innmr, poll tax collector,
dog tax collector, water rate collator
and health officer, will have hi* pay In
creased from flM to >12.? per month.
At least that will he the case If the
ordinance amending the salary ordi
nance | introduced last night. "hall co
through. While it doc-- not raise the
salary of ihe chief of police it provides
for a salary for the health officor of
per month. The duties of this o filer
have been performed since last April hy
the chief of police and it is propo<ed to
formally elect him to the place. The
sectiment seemed unaniittou> that the
work being done by Mr. Moore snd the
responsibilities which a>e place i upon
him are worthy of higher pay th<n he
has been receiving. The ordinance
will be acted upon next week.
The question of extending the tire
limits was discussed last night, also. It
was proposed that the section within
which it unlawful to maintain houses
without brick chimneys be enlarged to
take in all the territory south of Thir
teenth Avenue. It was sought by those
making the proposition particularly to
make more secure that portion of the
town in the vicinity of the school house
which it waa desired to protect. Whi ! e
the council took no action in the matter |
the sentiment was against the change.
The council appropriated to
meet the insurance and repairs that
have been made *on the public school
building.
The committee on public property
and public works was authorized to let
a contract to the lowest ane best bidder
to make repairs to hose house No -
The committee on public works and
public property was authorized to have
