WILL CREATE NO MONOPOLY.
THE NEW MILITARY RESERVA-
TION AT ST. MICHAELS.
No One Will be Excluded From the
Territory or Prevented From
Engaging in Business.

WASHINGTON, Oct %. - Senator
Mcbride of Oregon saw the Secretary
of War and the President to-day re-
garding the report that the new mill
tary reservation in Alaska would create
a monopoly for the transportation
companies now operating between that
Territory and points in the United
States.
He was assured that there was no
such intention in the order; that no one
would be excluded from the territory
or prevented from engaging in any
business on the reservation. Secretary
Alger said he would telegraph the
Chamber of Commerce of Tacoma to
that effect.
The intention of the order was for
the sole purpose of protection of life
and property i'm the Territory, and any
company or person entering the Terri
tory would be given the same rights
and privileges which We're allowed
companies or persons already oper-
ating there.
Senator Mcbride said that he had no
doubt that there would be no trouble
for any persons operating in Alaska,
and the assurances of the President
and Secretary were sufficient to quiet
all apprehension that might be felt in
Washington or Oregon.
The first formal protest against the
creation of the st. Michael military
reservation has reached the War De-
partment from Tacoma, as follows:
Tacoma (Wash), Oct 27th.
'The Hon. Secretary of War, Wash
ington, D. c.: We ask for your recon-
sideration of your order setting apart
military reservation at st. Michael, be-
lievfng that should it stand it must
work to the detriment of thousands of
our citizens and give monopoly to the
two companies now located there.
CITIZENS COMMITTEE OF TACO
MA. By George Brown,
Secretary"
Secretary Alger has made the fol-
lowing reply:
washington Cd. c., Oct. 2Sth.
'eTo George Brown, Secretary Citi-
zens' Committee, Tacoma, Wash: Tele-
gram received. The military reserva-
ton at St Michael was established in
the interest of security of life and prop
erty, the preservation of order and the
protection of legitimate business inter
ests. No monopoly was given or in
tended to any company or persons. Any
proper company or person who desires
to conduct legitimate business there
will, on application to the War Depart
ment, be given permission to do so.
