Alaska rates are proving a source of
trouble to the Western roads, and it is like
~ that meeting of ali the roads will be
called in the near future to consider them.
The chief trouble now is that the purchas-
ers of tickets from Seattle cannot be as
sured of any definite date of sailing for
Alaska on account of the crowded condi-
ton Of the steamers and the few boats that
are available for the traffic One of the
Western roads which sold several tickets
for Alaska informed the purchasers that
q boat would sail on certain day and that
they would have no trouble in securing
passage. When the party reached the coast
they found that it was impossible for them
to get on the boat, as all the available space
had been taken long before their arrival.
4, e. road was then compelled TO keep them
in Seattle until the sailing of another steam
er, proceeding, that proved very expen-
slve to the road. The roads will try to
make definite arrangements with the steam
ship companies for the care of the. passen-
gers they bring to Seattle, and, falling in
this, they will sell tickets to the Pacific
coast port without any stipulation as to the
sailing of boats.

Commission QuestIon snnrl.

snarl has arisen in the agreement
reached by the roads of the Western Pas
senger Association at their last meeting in
st. Louis. The trouble has come up over
the agreement to reduce the amount of
commissions paid on North Pacific coast
business The agreement was that the rate
should be so cents on each ticket but the
Denver & Rio Grande did not clearly COM
prehend the date at which the agreement
was TO become affective and, instead of re-
ducIng It's rates on commissions on the 1st
of December, as called for by the terms
of the agreement. it paid the old rate
throughout the month. When Chairman
Caldwell called the attention of the road to
the matter the road replied that the error
was entirely unintentional on its part, and
asked THAI the agreement be amended so
that reduced rates on commissions should
apply only on east-bound business through
the month of December A meeting OF all
the interested lines has been called for the
25th of this month to consider the matter
and TO make arrangements for the payment
of commissions on tickets sold during the
month of December.
