ANOTHER LINE;
The Business Chronicle of Seattle
is authority for the statement that one
of the great American transcontinen
tal railway lines is contemplating es
tablishing a line of steamers for the
Alaska trade. The article, which ori
ginated in Chicago, is carried as a
dispatch, dated August 25, on the first
page of the Seattle business and fin
ancial 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 Citron
icle is as follows:
Chicago. Aug. 25. — Through appre
ciation of the permanent development
of Alaska, and with an expressed de
sire to establish itself in the new
empire, one of the leading transcon
tinental railways has under consider
ation plans for building and operating
a line of first class modern steam
ships between Puget Sound and south
eastern and southwestern Alaska
ports.
The negotiations have not proceed
ed far enough as yet to warrant an
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
ways traffic officials of American 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 that 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 because
of their higher class will be lost.
One of the main reasons for the step
is the advantage that the initial line
■ " _ 1 tt
I
gives in handling the tourist busi-|
ness. It is claimed that in a majority
of cases if the line selling the ticket
is a Canadian line, that line will get
the through transcontinental haul in
addition.
