OFFICIALS GATHERING INSIDE
Governor Clark, Collector Willis and Inspector
Tawney May Recommend 5ub=Port
at Fairbanks
Governor Walter K. Clark is on
the IVlpltin and will arrive In SWag
way tomorrow night. Mr. Claris Is
on his way to Fairbanks, and will
catch the steamer Selkirk at White
horse on the 6th going to Pawson
ar.i thence to Fairbanks.
Customs Collector J. R. Willis Is
on his wav to Fairbanks and Mr.
Tawney,* inspector of customs of
fices, is headed that way, and with
the following In of Governor Clark,
It look* as though some action is
being taken toward the opening of
the sub-port at Fairbanks.
A cablegram from Delegate Wick
ersham printed a few days ago In
formed the Alaskan readers that
he had recommended the opening
of the port, *nd that to secure Its
passage the recommendations of
Governor Clark and Mr. Willis were
needed. We have seen no state
ment from either of these gentle
men as to whether they favor It or
not, but It is cretain that some
thing must be done to break up the
monopoly now being held by the
navigation companies of the inter
ior. If that part of the territory Is
ever to be developed
? There is grounds for ho|>e that
the treasury department will see
the desirability of op<nilng the port

Delegate Wickersham has filed
with Hon. J. F. Curtis, assistant
secretary of the treasu^-, a com
plete report of the conditions along
the Yukon river, and pointed out
the necessity of immediate action.,
Kxtracts from his letter follow:
"The application to the Depart
ment now is to establish a sub
port at Fairbanks so that the Brit
ish boats may come on down the
river from l?awson and up the Ta
n.ina and deliver freight at Fair
banks in competition with the North
ern Navigation Company, which
comes up the river with its freight
from St. Michael.
"The people of the Territory are
desirous of securing competition in
the carrying of freight Into the In
terior of Alaska. Heretofore there
;ias been and for some years the
Northern Navigation Company has
had practically a monopoly of all
the carrying trade to Fairbanks
Knd other interior points. The
Northern Navigation Company is a
transportation company. The North

mercial company own* large, store*
along tho rlvur, at Fairbanks and
all other point* along the river
where there are sufficient people to
justify It. They also have, and
heretofore always have had large
sfores at Dawson. They carry
their own freight upon their own
boats. In this way they are able to
buy large quantities of goods, to
transport them Into the country up
on their own steamer*, sell the
goods out of their own stores and
by this system they have been
able to prairtlcally prevent any
transportation or mercantile com
pany from securing an equal oppor
tunity to do business in that region.
1 judge they do three-fourths of
all the frelghit carrying and mer- 1

during all the summer All of the
' freight and passenger* into the In- '
terior of Alaska are compelled j
either to take the White Paaa
route or the St. Michael route from j
the mouth of the Yukon river up1
st ream.
| "Dnfortunately for the people of
Alaska the White Pasa route Is
arbitrarily stopped at Dawson For-;
tunately for the people at Dawson
the Northern Navigation Company!
is permitted by the Yukon Terri
tory to continue their voyage from j
St. Mlchael'eastward up the Yukon
river through Alaska into the Yu
kon Territory to the sub-port of,
Dawson. That is exactly what the;
White Pa9s Company ought to bej
allowed to do going down stream.!
We ought to be allowed to have
a sub-port at Fairbanks so that j
the British Yukon steamers carry
ing our freight and passengers from
Skagway may come on down thej
Yukon and up the Tanana to Fair-;
banks I most earnestly recom
mend that a sub-port with that ob- j
ject In view be Immediately eatab- ;
llshed at Fairbanks."
"It would be a great advantage j
to the people In the Interior of Al- 1
