STEAMSHIP LINE
ANCHORAGE.—Operation of a
government steamship line between
the States and Alaska ports, as a
necessary adjunct to the govern- i
ment railroad, and the entrusting to
the Alaskan Engineering commission
of the expenditure of federal funds
for the construction of wagon roads
and trails in the country penetrated
by the government railroad are
| proposals advanced to the national
i administration by the Anchorage
j Chamber of Commerce,
j Chambers of Commerce and Com
! mereial Clubs in all other towns of
Alaska are asked by the Anchor- j
age Chamber to support its pro-1
posal for the establishment of a
government steamship line.
The government steamship line'
is urged as a remedy not only for !
the infrequent water transportation
facilities now provided by the priv
ate steamship companies, but also
for the slow transmission of mail,
which at present is carried to and
from Alaska as freight.
When the mail contract between
the postoffice department and the
steamship companies expired re
cently, the transportation companies
refused to renew it except at an
increase in rate regarded as ex
orbitant by the department- As a
j consequence, the contract was not
| renewed, and the mails, since the
! expiration of the old contract, have
j been consigned as freight.
Text of Resolutions.
The resolutions on this subject
adopted by the Anchorage Chamber
of Commerce read as follows:
“Whereas, the handling of the
United States mails by steamship
companies, by the same methods
used in handling consignments of
merchandise, is unnecessary, and
suggests methods of coercion used
by the companies to compel the
government to accede. to their de
mands, and
“Whereas, the carrying of the
United States mail, in Alaska, by
freight, is unprecendented and with
out parallel in the history of the
country, and is unwarranted and
without excuse or justification;
“Therefore, Be It Resolved by the
Chamber of Commerce of Anchor
age, Alaska, in special meeting
assembled, that,
“First: The postoffice depart
ment be respectfully urged to take
such steps as will immediately
remedy the present unendurable
condition.
j Aid Asked of Other Towns
“Second: The various Chambers
of Commerce and commercial bodies
of the towns of Alaska are urged
to co-operate in a movement to
secure better mail facilities.
“Third: The proper government
agencies be urged to place in oper
ation, at the earliest possible date,
u line of steamships to be operated
by the government between the
States and Alaska ports, as a neces
sary adjunct to the government rail
road, and as a means of supple
menting n?!d improving water trans
portation conditions in the terri
i tory."
! The proposal that funds for the
j construction of wagon roads and
trails in the country penetrated by 1
the government railroad be ex
pended by the Alaskan Engineering
commission is based on the argu
iment that the railroad officials are
;in u better position than any other
persons to know what wagon roads i
and trails arc needed to develop
business for the government line.j
Resolutions on this subject were
adopted by the Anchorage Chamber'
of Commerce some months ago, and
jthe officers of the Chamber plan
j to bring the request to the atten
tion of the present congress.

The "flu” has put a kink in the'
business of the bootleggers, says
the Alaska (Cordova! Times, and
the priee of booze has dropped to1
a bottle. When the malady first i
struek Cordova, John Barleyeorn
was touted as the only simon-pure
preventive, and bonded floods i
jumped to $t!0 a quart. It has j
since been proven that stimulation:
of this kind is not only of no value :
as a preventive, but when the “flu" ;
hits an habitual drinker he suffers |
more seriously than the abstainer, i
Hence the drop in price of that;
“medicine.”

The word “cantonment" comes
■« tts from India and means there
■vhiit it means here- a military
tation or camp. But the second
lyllable is pronounced as if it were
ipelled with :i “u” or as “toon.” It
s curious that in Knirland thi* word
s never used and is little known.
