To Regulate the Sale Of Tickets.

The order of Railroad Conductors
of Dickinson requested the introduce
tion of the following bill:
Senate Bill No. 108, introduced by
Senator McGillivray, for an act to re-
gulate the sale and redemption of
transportation tickets of common
carriers is an excellent bill and should
become a law. 1t provides that all
transportation companies secure Il Ii
cense for their authorized agents at a
fee of five dollars each and that they
redeem all unused tickets or portion
thereof, at the rate originally paid
for the same. The proposed law is
no doubt constitutional and the pen.
atty is sufficient to secure its enforce.
ment. The revenue to the state
from license fees would be several
thousand dollars and the redemption
of all unused tickets would be a pro-
lection and a convenience to all pat.
rons of transportation companies,
not enjoyed at present.
The public is denied many privi-
leges in the way of reduced and ex-
cursion rates, because unused tickets
are constantly manipulated by un-
authorized persons to the detriment
of transportation companies as well
as their patrons. so that a law cloth.
ed with the requirements contempla-

the transportation companies while
remedying an existing evil in the in

A STEAMER has been laid out
and fitted at Seattle which is to
make regular trips up and down
the Yukon river for the purpose of
establishing trading posts along
the river for a distance of over
1000 miles. This great river of
the rugged and little explored
Alaskan territory, is navigable
only during July,'August and Sep
tember. The placer miners of this
northern region, who hibernate
most of the year that they may
search a few short weeks for the
precious metal that lies in the riv-
er banks and bottom, and the fur
hunters, will have a chance to ex.
change their raw commodities fo,
merchandise of all kinds.

A CHANGE quite important to
America will be made next We'd
nesday, Washington's birthday, in
the transfer of the Inman line of
steamers from British to an
American register. The 1nterna-
tional Navigation Company will
take the place of the famous In
man line; and the stars and stripes
will be raised on the ocean racers,
City of Paris and City OF
New York, and the other vessels
of the line. The international
Navigation Company, which con-
trolls the present American line, is
building a fleet of double-screw
steamships which will very soon
give this country, under its own
flag, the finest ocean service ir
existence.
