GUI IN RATES
NOW $2 A TON
There is promise of a rate war
.imoiiK the steamship companies run
ning from Sound ports to Skagwa.v.
A few weeks ago the companies got
together in Seattle on an Increase of
rates, which the Humboldt com
pany refused to subscribe to Then
came the announcement that the
original rates would be resumed,
and now comes notice of a further
l<>saening.
The Alaska Steamship company
has notified their agent in Skagway
that a two dollar a ton rate is to
apply hereafter which of course
will be met by the other companies,
who may even go them one better,
and thus a rate war is liable to be
started at any time.

dimensions, according to the latitude
and longtltude and the plan will

that It was rot on the public domain

This is the regult of the twnefi- '
rent lawg governing Alaska, which
forbid a settler to cut timber for;
| his own use that will rot and go to
waste If he doesn't cut It. The gov-;
ernment spends more annually In
holding up settlers for the official'
price of a little wood than It gets :
out of all the stumpa?e cut. Mean
