Ottawa, Abu. 17 A report which
boars the stamp of high authority,
ha* been given out to the effect
that the Canadian Secretary of
State has intsrtarted the British am
bassador to request the opening of
'he port at Fair banks. Alaska, for
tho admission of British boats.
This Is a matter that the people j
T \t*ska have t??*n -wwklng on for
i long time. Xot only have tbvy
appealed to the American govern
r lent, but they have taken their
case to Ottawa for the purpose of
securing: Canadian co-operation. Ca
nada has bene liberal in allowing
\merican boats to land in British
territory and thin movement la an
appeal to the principles of reciproci
ty which is becoming an Influential
factor in the diplomatic relation be
tween the countiriea.
One of the rfttsons which ia urged
for the establitthment of the sub
port at Fairbanks, ia that It will
enable the boatrt of the White Pass
and Yukon railroad to compete with
the boats of the transportation com
panies now monopolizing 'he Yukon
river in Alaska. It la believed that
i? the event of the office being es
tablished. much (rood will result to
both countries by the stimulation it
sill give to trade.
