O. L. Dickeson, vice-president and
general manager of the White Pass
company, arrived In Dawson last
night, on his first visit to Dawson.
He Is accompanied by his private
secretary J. G. Blanchard, and by
H. Wheeler, superintendent of the
White Pass winter mail and stage
service. Mr. Dickeson expects to
leave Dawson for the trip back to
Whltehorse Friday night, but to visit
here againr later in the month, when
j he will assist In the direction of the
' fall traffic. Mr. Dlckeaon said today:
"I desired to get here early in the
i season, but found several matters
| which called me back. On arrival at
; \Y7iltehorse on my first visit, I had
to leave after a few days to attend a
j meeting of the directors In Chicago,
i where I met Mr. Close and Mr. Keke
vich and others prominent in the af
fairs of the road.
"Coming North again, I found a
number tof important duties. I met
with the repreeentatvie of the Do
minion commission, who carae to in
vestigate the White Pass Railway
and to place a physical valuation on
it. I assisted him in every way. We
withheld no information, and opened
all our books to him. Later the mem
| tiers of the commission visited Skag
! way and Whitehorse, and I escorted
: : hem over the line. Afterward Secre
; tary Fisher of the Taft Cabinet, came
j to Skagway, and I escorted him and
j liis party over our line and down
' Lake Lebarge. Mr. Fisher was de
lighted with the trip, and greatly re
| ^retted he could not travel the length
I of Yukon and see Dawson. Fairbanks
j and Nome this trip. He made a
! splendid address in Skagway, promis
ing to open the Alaskan coal lands
j and to do all in his pswer for the
[north. . *
"The matter of White Pass rates
now before the commission is to be
argued about October 1, in Ottawa
The company has been extended the
privilege to show reason why the
rates should not be reduced a third.
We shall accept the opportunity, and
present new facts and arguments
The White Pass company desires to
do everything possible for the devel
opment of this country. We realize
that the rate should be as low as
possible, consistent with conditions,
but we do not wish to be driven into
bankruptcy. I think all will admit
there is such a danger as cutting a
rate so low that a concern cannot do
business. This year has not been a
good one. The traffic has fallen off,
yet we are hopeful. I; is the inten
tion, of the company to help build up
the country. This region needs
population. It needs to have its re
sources opened. We need business
over our line. The more traffic we
can get. the better rate we can make.
If we can build up a large tourist bust
iness it not only will bring possible
investors here but will help swell our
volume of traffic so that Y ukon may
benefit in time by lower rates.
"The miner and the prospector
must be encouraged. We shall en
deavor to do our part. We have a
number of plans in mind. I now am
prepared to say that we shall give a
rate on ore for coast sampling mills
or smelters for test purposes which
will be an encouragement and permit
sampling ores to be sent out in quan
tities sufficient for all such purposes.
We may make the limit on this spe
cial rate five tons, but if ten or twen
ty tons be necessary for a satisfac
tory test, we shall take that quantity
under the reduced rate.
"Skagway has decided to install a
stamp mill for sampling purposes. I
have the honor of being the vice
president of the movement. Citizens
subscribed $100 each or less, and the
rock will be milled at actual cost. If
people from the interior wish to send
rock there for sampling they may do
so. or they may ship to smelters or
elsewhere.
"We are going after the tourist
business next year on the wholesale
plan. We will build an hotel at At
lin and maybe elsewhere. We shall
route as much business as possible
to Dawson. Agencies are to be opened
in New York and other large centers
this winter, and we hope to make
Yukon the Scandinavia of the con
BEER

| tluent as regards tourist business.
"Respecting the proposed cut rates
i believe the people -hero will under
stand me when 1 say we bear no en
mity toward the community because
of the contention for lower rates. We
understand such matters often arise
elsewhere, but we desire to go into
the matter carfully, and to show our
situation fully. I trust matters will
be adjusted before long and that all
will be able to pull together for the
best advantage. The White Pass Is
the first to realize the necessity of
making this country productive. Our
vested interests are almost as heavy
as those of any other concern, and
we should be foolish Indeed if we en
deavored to suppress rather than en
courage development, and to do this
we must strive for the success of this
country. We want tolerable condi
tions, and shall work for them. Yet
it is not to be forgotten that today
we have ten people per mile of White
Pass line while in America the rail
ways as a whole have 390 per mile.
We have 2^4 per cent of the volume
of tonnage of the American lines. Th
cost of operation of the American
lines per ton mile is seven mills, as
against twelve cents and seven mills
to the White Pass. The capitalization
of the average American road is
$150,000 per mile more than that of
our line, I hope to meet the Daw
son people and become better ac
quainted with them and their coun
try.
"In interest of economy 1 have re
duced the staff iu many places along
the line. But wages are being held
up. No more reductions will be
made in heads of departments. 1
find the men In our servlc in the
North as high class as anywhere on
the continent. We have a superior
class of men with the White Pass."

St., San Francisco, Cal., says: "I ,
take pleasure in publicly acknowledge
ing the correctness of the statement
my wife gave in Auguste1907, telling |
of my experience with Doan's Kidney
Pills. I sufered a great deal from
pains in my back and when I lifted
or brought any 6train on the muscles
of my loins, I was in misery. This
trouble made me very nervous and I
seemed unable to get any permanent
relief from the doctor's treatment
Finally I began the use of Doan's
Kidney Pills, and benefit soon fol
lowed. Before long my pains and
aches had disappeared entirely. At
intervals since then I have noticed
slight recurrences of the trouble, but
at such times Doan's Kidney Pills
have brought prompt and satisfactory
relief. I feel Justified In vouching for
their merits."
