.. ALASKA TRANSPORTATION
In another column of the Alaska Dis
patch will be found information which
indicates that the Alaskan Engineer- '
ing commission plans to purchase a
freight-carrying vessel to be employed
in transporting materials, supplies
and the like for the Alaska railway
project, now under construction in
Alaska. In other words, instead of
giving this freight to the steamship
companies engaged regularly ii the
Alaska trade, the government, acting
through the Alaskan engineering com
mission, proposes to employ its own
vessels for that purpose.
Whether this is a move in the in
terests of economy is not the point we
wish to discuss here. We believe that
is a debatable question, at that. What
we should like to consider is, what is
best for the interests of Alaska? We
take it that Alaska is concerned in
having an adequate transportation
service between Seattle and Alaskan
ports. We believe that the steamship
service given by the two big Alaska
lines is very satisfactory, all things
considered. To maintain the present
service, business must be available
for them, otherwise, of course, the
service will be curtailed; These com
panies can not be expected to operate
at a loss for any considerable period
of time. The Alaskan engineering
commission, in putting on its own
boats, Is taking so much freight from
the private carriers. It is entering
into competition with the regular
steamship lines, which have a right
to expect the Alaska business!. The
loss of the engineering commission’s
freight business means that this loss
to the private carrieres must be made
up somehow, and hence an additional
burden falls on the people of Alaska
in order to maintain an adequate
transportation service. Whereas, if
the commission’s business went to the
private carriers, the volume of busi
ness would be augmented to the ex
tent that it would not be necessary
to increase fi’eight or passenger rates
to maintain the present service.—
Alaska Dispatch.
VOICE OF THE ALASKA PRESS
Somebody ought to get out an in
junction in Alaska, as it seems to be
all the rage, so we can get some Blue
Ribbon or Milwaukee beer, just to see
how the stuff tastes.—Seward Gate
way.
A Seattle judge said this week that
life was the cheapest thing in the
Sound city. After living there a few
weeks most Alaskans will agree with
him.—Valdez Miner.
A big laugh tonight at the Empress.
See the comedy, “Ladies First,” also
