Custom* Inspector Willi.- iv on
liia way to Fairbanks When he
*rri>?>? there the commerlcal dob
of that city will ?5onbtTes* ask Mm
to wouurinl the opening of that
vity as * sub-port of ?trr. The
????ople of Fairbanks and vicinity
claim that they hare be*n oppressed
by the tnv?nopoiy of tnnsjicrUtkMil
companies Everybody that has
had any basinets aith the interior
knows that both passenger and
freight rates are so hick that the
<-owntry is being retarded in its
natural development, and that the
vanse for it lies at the door of ex
tortionate combinations th.it rob
those who desire to make how.es or
ships poods for o{"? nins mining op
erations in Alaska
It means ? great deal to the.
interior of Alaska to h. vc that snt?- (
k>ort opened as it will alio* British
bottoms to carry freight there In
t-ompetition with the monopolies
now operating.
The While Pass rttltwd prom
is** to extend its lines and land
??ppii?"s at Fairbanks at lesser
rates than are now teing charged.
It desires to Wrikg the business
through Skasway. the natural gate
way. and thos do away with the
extravagant system wbick requires
a haul of hB*flrfds of milss around
the oatsid ' coast and np tbe Yu
kon river
Delegate Wiekersba* Is striving
for the opening of the sub-port; be
has it before tbe treasury depart
ment and has notified his con
stituent* in Alaska bow they can
obtain it, and that Is by getting the
consent of Governor CUrlt and
Inspector Willi*. Jfr Wilis is on
his way there now. What action
Mr Clark will take we do not
know, because he has not publicly
expressed himself One thing we
do know, and that Is. that every
transportation monopoly In A' asks
Is opposing Wickers bam They
want to politically kill off Wirker
sham and thus kill tbe sub-port
proposition at the same time They
