Officer* of the White Pass * Yu-|
kon route have given out for publl
cation the announcement that they
have completed final arrangements
for establishing a new and Inde
dendent transportation service
through to Fairbanks and Inter
mediate points, and are expecting
to give the best poosible service in
time and comfort to its patrons, be
ginning this spring. The schedule
of rates will be issued shortly.
In connection with the above an
nouncement, we assume that if the
White Pass starts anything on the
lower river without making rate
agreements with the transportation
companies already in the field, there
will be a rate war which will furn
ish cheap transportation and freight
ing to the public. The N. C. T.
company 1* something of a million
aire concern and always show a
readiness to get everything that Is
laying around, while the White \>ss
is not slow In going after business
Before Mr. Dlckeson left last fall
he announced that such was his
Intention, snd since then It has
been whispered that the material
for two river boats have already
been assembled on the Sound and
will be shipped north st once In
a knocked down condition and put
together la Whitehorse.
