STEAM SHIFT
The proposed consolidation of
the two steamship companies
is not <£piite meeting with the
approval of the average miner
in this section, who, though he
knewr he was paying high freight
rates, never complained. His
mail and freight came regular
ly every week, year in and year
out, notwithstanding all kinds of
conditions
Now he feels that a consolid
ation means higher freight rates
and less ships. But, let us
hope for the best.
ABOUT THE CENSUS
*. "
changes
The census returns show7 Me
Carthy with a population of 127
and Chitina with 163. this
is a surprise and a pleasant one
but our population is increasing
rapidly, so maybe some day,
Chitina, it will be the other wray.
565 is the census return for
Kennecott, at the same time, we
venture to say that McCarthy
wTill poll as many votes on next
election day.
The combination of New York
and McCarthy census returns
shows a total of five million, six
hundred and twenty one thous
and, two hundred and seventy
eight.
