TRANs-rAcIFlo SHIPPING.


In an interview given to a correspondent
OF Washington paper. since his return
from Europe. President Hin has given
some figures OF trans Pacific shipping
fishing his own line of steamers in con-
nection with the Great Northern rail-
road The facts set forth are suggestive.
In trying to establish an outlet for grain
across the Pacific. President Hill tum-
bIed over the difficulty which is spur
ring tho friends of Americas shipping
industry to ask congress for a measure
OF protection for our shipping. He found
that America can build ships almost as
cheaply as they can be built abroad. but
cannot run them az economically. The
sailors union nxed the wages OF sailors
at so q month. and the wages OF engi-
neers and other ship employees at about
twice the wages paid by European steam
ers. This. OF course, made II impossible
for Mr.. Hill to run steamers under the
American nag. and showed clearly why
the American shipping industry needs
protection.
When Japan's war with China came TO
an end. she devoted a large portion of her
indemnity to subsidixing her shipping In
dustry. which h now assisted. from Pres
gdent Hsif's calculations. TO an extent
equal 10 the cost Of steamers coal and
the wages OF her crew. Mr.. HILL there
fore, contracted with the Nippon Yusen
Kaisha to carry produce across the Pa
ciic ocean. stipulating that -four should
pay only 81 a ton. as against 81 and Is a
ton formerly charged from West coast
ports IN the United States. In this way
he shipped about 10000 bushels of
wheat. or It's equivalent In -four. from
the last crop. This shows that the trade
across the Pacific ocean is destined 10 de-
veiop into great proportions
The influence Of this opening Cor pro-
dace viii De felt throughout the North
west but railroad rates and the price OF
grain viii establish varying limits for the
sphere OF heneft from the new course of
trade, Speaking % this. President Hill
satd: ut Is not outside the range OF pos
ability that We could ship wheat from
ncyiFs lake 20 the Pacific coast for this
trade. We certainly could at a So cents a
hushsi cost for wheat at Devils lake or
points west. az long as the demand for
-four continues 70 grow as Il has for the
past six months" The cost OF railroad
freighting Is high In comparison with wa
ter transportation and this necessarily
limits the advantages OF water routes "a
points comparatively near The new rail
road across siberia Is liable on this ac-
eeuat TO be ieas important As grain
route than is generally expected.

Information came direct from New York,

the foreign holders OF Northern Pacific
securities and the opponents OF President

their own. are bitterly opposed 20 his ac-

that no man la Mr. Adams position would

WOULD LIKE TO BE IN 1T.



The merchants of Portland are prepar-
ms 20 reach out for slice of the growing
alaska business. They are taking the pre-
iiniinary steps toward the establishment of
a steamer line between Portland and
Alaska that is they have decided that they
want such a line and have developed a
committee which shall endeavor TO satisfy
that want. The committee has member
ship OF .. representing many different
lines of trade.
According to q recent article IN the Port
land Oregonian It would seem that the
committee has had a vague assurance that
a steamship line VIII be put on under GER
tain conditions. The article referred 10
said:
The main object that the navigation
people seem 20 seek is the support the
merchants OF this city will give a line
with local terminus. The proposition OF
a subsidy, that has been spoken of so
often, is not apparently the purpose OF a
conference. The feeling that has been
created among merchants by the united
action of the shippers in their association
indicates that they will heartily support
any measure to give Portland an oppor-
tunity 10 get share of the growing Alas
ka trade. The profits reaped by Sound
cities in this field are attracting much at
tention."

PLENTY of BUSINESS.
Freight and Passengers Waiting for
the Cleveland.

From present indications the steamship
Cleveland. due to arrive here today from
San Francisco, will have more freight
than she can carry away for the return
voyage, and as large number of pas
sangers as can be accommodated. The
rate of $50 between here and San Fran
cisco seems TO appeal to large number of
people who calculate that travelling under
such conditions would be as cheap as liv-
ing ashore.
The experiment of kruse & Madison in
Haunting opposition In the face of the
Pacific Coast Steamship Company is GER
tainiy receiving much encouragement
from shippers in the start
So far the business promised is local
The Denny Clay Company will send down
