railroads, he took no stock IN such talk.

the reason shat some of the railroads

The question we've got 10 pass on is

THE "TRIP 10 alaska.

1111 1Alk ~ AkkA0nAAs
The excursion Of business men Of Sc
attic to the principal places Of interest
on the Alaskan coast projected by the
Post-Inteiligencer cannot tail to haxe
. most satisfactory result In no better
way can our business men become ac-
Quainted with the conditions OF their
more northerly neighbors. and the hos
pitable disposition Of the Alaskan viii
compel . good feeling between both
guests and hosta The business men Of
Seattle and the business men Of the
Alaskan ports need to become better
acquainted. We are getting over the
idea that Alaska ID somewhere near the
North Pole. It II so near now that any
man having or expecting interests In
the territory can spare the time to make
q visit to those enterprising customers
who are creating . new and vast field
for commerce. The ordinary voyages
made by steamers on the regular run
would not answer the purpose. The
pleasure trips are too short and do not
permit time for visiting. The freight
steamers are not only In too great hur-
~. but they do not include places Of pic
turesque interest.
The excursion under consideration
win cover both points. It VIII take In
all the attractions which have brought
tourists thousands OF miles to see. and
it will to Q great extent be governed by
conditions a. they may arise In the
course Of the trip. The object 10 to
make the business men better acquaint-
ed and at the same time to give our
merchants an opportunity to zee all that
ID characteristic Of this little known tar
ritory which Is tributary to our trade.
Incidentally, the association Of men In
different branches Of business. but with
q common purpose. cannot fan TO result
in more intelligent cooperation In ex-
tending advantages to the merchants Ct
the north. The Alaskan traffic has been
carried on with q rush. A great and
sudden demand and the need Of prompt
supply compelled high prices. These
must be modified now that the traffic il
steady. This is not only just to the
Alaskan merchants. but win be to the
interests Of the Seattle wholesalers, who
must expect that competition will be
cure to come In where abnormally high
profits seem probable.
Alaska Is no longer q mere handful
Of scattered trading posts. It has passed
also the boom stage. Its business must
hereafter be conducted upon the same
lines as those which prevail between
San Francisco or Portland and Seattle.
How best to bring this about with mu-
tuai benefit. and the least disturbance
of prevailing business methods, will be
one OF the considerations suggested by
the proposed business mems excursion
to Alaskan points.
