TRADING ALASKA FOR JAMAICA.

Besides its controversy with the
Oregonian over the Alaskan boundary
question. the Post -Intelligencer has
run up against the Chicago-Times Her
aid on the suggestion made by the lat
ter that the best way out Of the
boundary muddle would be to trade
Great Britain the Alaskan panhandle
for the island Of Jamaica. Since Ore
gon gets no trade with Alaska, nor
can get any, 80 long as Portland pur-
sues her blind policy Of preventing the
development Of Oregon's only" sea-
port from which this trade could be
done. the proposition Of the Times
Herald ought 10 find much encourage
ment among the people Of this Sec
tion. This is especially so in the light
Of the splendid reasons why the trade
would be good one for this country
as advanced by the Chicago-paper.
Answering a recent article in the Post
Intelligencer on the subject, the Times
Herald says:
''The people Of Seattle, Portland and
San Francisco have commercial rea-
CONS for opposing such a trade, al
though We are unwilling to think that
their opposition could be as violent as
the Post-Intelligencer editorial would
have US TO believe, for the reason that
such an exchange Of territory would
present no serious nnenance to the out
fitting trade that has developed on the
Pacific coast as a result OF the gold
discoveries in the Klondike. The Brit
fish policy Of open ports would guar
antee trading privileges to Americans
almost as valuable as those now en-
joyed, while the vexatious Alaskan
boundary dispute would be disposed Of
AS for Jamaica, there are abundant
and constantly multiplying reasons
why the United States should acquire

the West Indies over islands that are
geographically part Of this continent
