That there is a strong probability
■of a raise in present freight and
passenger tariffs between Alaska and
Pacific coast ports, is the statement
of Gov. Thomas Riggs, who was ac
quainted with the movement during
his recent trip to the States. The
amount of the raise and the date it
will be put into effect, if made, is
as yet unknown.
Gov. Riggs stated that the Ter
ritorial Shipping board had taken
the matter up with the United States
Shipping board, asking that careful
consideration be given to the mat
ter. He also said that at least
Alaska tariffs would not be included

in any blanket raise made for coast
wise shipping, assurances to that
effect already having been received
by the Territorial Shipping board.
Alaska traffic, he stated, will re
ceive separate consideration and be
dealt with apart from other sec
tions.
According to the Governor, the
fuel oil situation is giving the
steamship companies considerable
uneasiness and the outlook from
this source alone indicates that their
operation costs will be raised by
more than $500,000. The Standard
Oil company will not place any new
contracts for fuel oil supplies and
it is probable that oil will cost the
companies $1 per barrel more than
it is costing them today. Many of
the companies are already consider
ing changing from oil to coal-burn
ing engines.
Inquiries made at the Admiral
Line offices in Juneau, in charge of
J. H. Kline, and at the offices of
the Alaska Steamship company, in
charge of Willis E. Nowell, failed
to bring any more definite informa
tion about the proposed tariff raises,
j says the Juneau Empire. At neither
! office had any official word been
j received of the contemplated raise.
I At both offices, however, it was said
that rumors of such a raise were
going the rounds, and if it came it
would not be unexpected, on ac
count of raises in rail tariffs and
in coastwise shipping rates in other
parts of the country.
GASCAR IS DISABLED;
MAY NOT RESUME RUN
The Alaskan Engineering commis
sion gascar, which has been operat
ing between North Xenana and Fair
! banks between regular train days
during the past summer, has been
taken off the run, and there is a
possibility that it will not resume
' operations.
The wheels of the car, it is claim
ed, are breaking down under the
strain of heavy traffic, and there are
' no new wheels available to replace
the old ones. It may be possible to
make repairs -which will enable the
car to continue on the run, but it is
understood to be regarded as doubt
ful.
Pending a restoration of the daily
service between towns, travelers will
have to content themselves with the
regular train, operating t> ice week

ARE MARKING LINES
j Boundary lines between Canada

are to be determined accurately by

party of Canadian engineers from

j will clear a boundary trail cut 15

line between the two countries.
The work _of defining the boun

under which flag their claims are
