TRADER OBJECTS TO TARIFF;
WILL SHIP VTA YUKON RIVER
Sam Dubin. -well known trader,
who is interested in a chain of
stores on the Koyukuk river, acquir
ed last year from the Northern Com
mercial Company, proved N'erar. ■
yesterday from Fairbanks to make
necessary arrangements ir. the mat
ter of handling freight for the sever
al stores in which he is interested,
which -will be landed at Xenana via
the Alaska Railroad.
For the purpose f transporting
this freight to the point* named
r.amea.
Mr. Dubin recently purchased the
steamer Teddy Pi.. and two barges. I
The steamer is commanded by C-apt.
Andy Liv.ngstor.e. founerly of the
White Pass service. and has a full
crew- o
officers
f certifi-i engineer5 and
.Mr. Our m to:d a repre-or..' t:ve o:
The News this morning- that he has
136 tons of freight in the railroad
■warehouse hers awaiting shipment to
the Kopakuk and that this will be
taken by the Teddy H. as soon as
she has completed a rour.d trip to
the Kantishna with a load of freight
for that district. He has additional!
shipments of approximately eighty,
tons for later shipment which he
will arrange to have shipped to his
store at the mouth of the Koyukuk
river by way of St. Michael, at a
lower rate than is obtainable on
shipments coming over the Alaska
Railroad.
In explanation of this, Mr. Dubin
stated that the water and rail rate,
from Seattle to Nenara. via the
Alaska Railroad, of £42.00 per ton
appeared to be somewhat mythical,
as the 136 tons shipped in via that
route cost him at the rate of $51.36
per ton, to which must be added the
cost of the long haul to the Koyu
kuk : whereas, he says, the White
Pass Quotations, by way of St. Mich
ael, give him a rate of $44.00 per
ton, Seattle to the mouth of tue
Koyukuk river, with & much shorter
haul to destination. He had intend
ed making Xenana his headquarters
and having all freight shipped via
the Alaska Railroad; and he also
probably would have wintered his
boat here, but in view of the sub
stantial difference in freight rates,
he has concluded that it will be poor
business on his part to put his ear
lier intentions into effect. He will
make other arrangements unless a.
adical change is made in railroad
ariffs. precluding the possibility of
•ompetition by way of the lower
t'ukon.
Mr. Dubin is also of the opinion,
ts the result of observations and in
quiry. that a large quantity of
reiohi. which might be routed by.
.vay of Xenana. will be diverted to
he St Michael route as n result of '
he difference in rate= on the two
■outes, and thinks that commercial !
sodies of the Interior towns should
look into the matter and take early
sction to bring about more desirable
conditions.
