Big Railway Line
Plans Steamship
Line to Alaska
The Business Chronicle of Seattle
is authority for the statement that
one of the great American transcon
tinental railway lines is contemplat
ing establishing a line of steamers
for the Alaskan trade. The article,
which originated in Chicago and is
carried as a dispatch dated August 25
0Y1 the first page of the Seattle busi
ness and financial publication, does
not disclose the name of the company
that is about to enter the Alaskan
trade.
However, rumors have been in cir
culation for some time that we may
look for such an announcement from
the Hill lines.
The dispatch in the Business Chron
ical is as follows:
CHICAGO, Aug. 25.—Through ap
preciation of the permanent develop
ment of Alaska, and with an express
ed desire to establish itself in the new
empire, one of the leading trans-con
tinental railways has under consider
ation plans for building and operat
ing a line of first class modern steam
ships between Puget Sound and south
eastern and southwestern Alaska
ports.
The negotiations has not proceed-«
ed far enough as yet to warrant an i
official announcement of the plan, and
investigations are still being conduct
ed along the lines of the probable pro
fit. One of the most prominent rail
way traffic officials of America will
leave for Seattle in September to
make a personal first hand study of
the situation.
The company takes the position
that the time has come to serve the
people of Alaska with vessels t^at are
equal to those plying on the Atlantic,
and that if this is not done, more of
the passenger business which has
been drawn to the Canadian lines be
cause of their higher class of service
will be lost.
One of the main reasons for the
step is the advantage that the initial
line gives in handling the tourist bus
iness. It is claimed that in a majori
ty of cases if the line selling the
ticket is a Canadian line, that line will
get the through transcontinental haul
in addition.
Panama^Canal
Losing Money
for Uncle Sam
NEW YORK, Sept. 10.—The Pan
ama canal for the year ended June 30,
1916, showed a deficit of $4,599,920,
according to the Canal Record. The
operations and maintenance totaled
$6,999,750, while the receipts were $2,
39,830. For every dollar spent the
government received 34.28 cents. The
previous year the expenses were $4,
066,727, and the receipts $4,343,383,
leaving a deficit of $276,656 without
considering interest on the investment
or depreciation.
The canal was closed five months
and dredging operations cost $3,560,
016, twice the amount of the previous
year. About two-thirds of the over
head expense is charged to operation
and maintenance.
Ocean-going vessels using the ca
nal for the year were 787. The aggre
gate tonnage, according to the Pana
ma canal measurement was 2,479,761,
or 3,140,046 tons of cargo. The tolls
collected totaled $2,399,830. The pre
ceding year 1,088 ships passed
through, carrying 4,969,792 tons of
cargo, (3,843,035 tons canal measure
ment.)
The total tolls on vessels in the
coastwise trade amounted to 18.36 per
cent of all tolls collected, compared
with 36 per cent the previous year.
With the closing of the canal in Sep
tember many coastwise vessels were
diverted to foreign trade. Several
United States government vessels
passed through the canal carrying
coal from Norfolk to California, with
out paying toll.

Prominent Juneau
Contractor in Bad
Auto Accident
(Juneau Dispatch)
W. F. Skoog, one of the most prom
ising young contractors in Alaska, is
at St. Ann hospital probably fatally
injured as the result of a runaway ac
cident on the surface tram used to
haul materials to the wireless station
under construction part way up Mount
Juneau, across Gold creek from the
east entrance of Evergreen cemetery.
Skoog was in the act of sending up
the car on the tramway and it was
partly up the steep incline when a
splice in the cable broke and the car
went hurtling down the hill. Contrac
tor J. H. Gilpatrick saw the accident
and said that it seemed as though
Skoog had his back to the car and
did not turn around until it was al
most upon him. On the car were two
iron wheels weighing probably 300
pounds.
These literally pounded his life out
in the tumbling around.
Skoog was rushed to St. Ann hospi
tal where Dr. De Vighne waited on
him. He was conscious when placed
on the operating table. He recogniz
ed the doctor, asked for his wife, and
then sank into unconsciousness.
At !) p. rh. Dr. De Vighne was no
tified Skoog was bleeding from the
ears and mouth, and fear was expres
sed that he was dying. Doctor De
Vighne held out little hope for the re
covery of Skoog. He says the patient
is terribly mutilated from his acci
dent.
W. F. Skoog made a remarkable
record in Juneau for construction
work. He was associated with his
father in the construction of the first
unit of the Gastineau hotel. The sec-1
ond unit was carried on by himself.
He is married, and was among the
young men who had decided to live
and expand in Alaska.
