THE A.-Y.-P. STEAMSHIP RATES.

Thus far only two steamship com
panies ply 1 111; from Alaskan waters to
Seattle have announced the rates tliat
will prevail during the A.-Y.-P. expo- !
sitiou. but undoubtedly an agreement |
exists between the companies and no!
farther reductions will i>e made.
The Pacific Coast Steamship com !
pany has announcctl a round trip rat.
o" from Skagway to Seattle auU|
re*i.rn. The Humboldt Steamship]
company has announced a round trip I
rate of $50.
The reductions made in steams hi i
rates are indeed trifling. Railroad:
iu the states are making greatly re i
duced rates, lower out of all proper J
tion to thos?? announced by the Alas
kan steamship*. As a general thins
a round trip ticket can be secured for
a fare and one-third.
There are hundreds of Alaskans
who have been counting upon attend
ing the A.-Y.-P. exposition with their
families, takiug advantage of the
rates that they confidantly
believed would be Offered. That
many of these people canuot make
the trip unless the rates are radically
reduced, goes without saying.
The steamship companies may
make money by their refusal to
make adequate rate reductions ? and
agaiu they may drive away consid
erable trade by this very means. But
il is certain that the low rates are a
disappointment to the people of the
north.
Justice demands that you should'
take front people 110 more than you :
give them. But there is a way ol i
weighing your work and the work of >
others of which you avail yourself; :
besides, you may at any time be in- j
capacitated for work, and you will
have to make use of the work of I
other people. There try to give morel
than you take, so as not to be unjust.

Come to Alaska, where many oppor
tunities are open to the hustling
young man. Where fortune awaits
those with ambition, push and enter
prise. This advice is given by many
who have lived in both the East and
the West. Alaska is the keynote of

THE YEARS.
mHET bring to youth a budding flower.
A strain of music sweet.
Love's thrilling dream? a sunlit hour? J
Full hands and eager feet.

A- Brave days and nights ot calm.
An anthem on the winds half spent.
A knowledge of life's balm.
THEY bring to age the boon of rest
Surcease from labor's woes
Pale folded hands upon the breast.
The triumph of repose.

take the stamp of the monogram <lie
to perfection, have a most pleasing
writing surface, aiul are absolutely co
