Inquiry has been made within the past
few days by shipping men In Seattle look

between Seattle aud Honolulu. Projects
OF this kind are considered in connection
with their ultimate extension TO the Phil

fact that railroad men whose lines reach

ALASKA AS SEEN BY A
CALIFORNIA EX-MAYOR,
Fiah Canneries in Fine Condition
Alaska's New Railroad
Stfckeen ROute.

Stickeen Route.
Among the passengers who arrived from
Alaska on the City OF Topeka yesterday
was B. Pond. ct San Francisco. Mr..
Pond Is prominent business man and
politician. and nine years ago he served
two terms as mayor Of San Francisco.
His trip to Alaska was made in the in
terest OF the Alaska Packing Association,
of which he is a director and large stock
holder. The ex-mayor visited all the Lynn
canal ports while in Alaska, and inspect
ed a number Of the twenty canneries OPP
Grated by the Alaska Packing Company.
To Post-Intelligencer reporter at the
Rainier-Grand hotel yesterday he said:
1.-THE Alaska Packing Association, which
about controls the Alaska canneries. has
twenty OF these plants, and sixteen of
them are now in operation. The annual
output each year varies from $4,000 to
500 $50 cases, but it would be q hard mat
ter to estimate the quantity Of fish that
will be canned this year. We are also
establishing a number of new hatcheries,
and are making other improvements. The
and will be pushed forward as rapidly
as possible. can truthfuly say that the
prospects for favorable canning business
in Alaska this year are good"
Like many visitors to Alaska, Mr.. Pond
observed the country closely. and said
regarding his observations:
1.-THE country is, as every person knows,
wild and rugged. and like all new coun-
tries, patience and energy are required
on the part of people who go there Many
men are stranded. and they very natur-
ally feel unkindiy toward Alaska. The
Misrepresentation made in reference to
the Stickeen route had much to do to-
ward creating this feeling. while many
people who boarded the boat at Juneau
had the same unfavorable report to make
about the Copper river. I also understand
that many people are stranded at Cook In
let Many ARE now pushing their way
through TO the klondike over the Dyea
and Skagway trails, and while was there
7 witnessed the departure Of many Of
them.
THE people at Skagway are very much
encouraged over the prospects, and there
seems 10 be work fer everybody Between
seven and eight miles of railroad had been
constructed when I left, and l was in
formed by the contractors that the road
would be built through to Lake Bennett
in the fall 1 think tina. Skagway, on ac-
count Of the railroad. will be one of the
best towns in Alaska"
Like all business men OF San Francisco
Mr.. Pond Is well pleased with the an
nexation OF the Hawaiian islands He
