Railroad Will Enable Local
 Merchants to Compete
FOR INTERIOR TRADE
Chamber of Commerce. Has a Conn
 rnittos Working on This, and
 Railroad omOial Says That a Sat- isfaotOry Schedule wm be Issued.

Advices have been received In the lo:al offices of the White Pass & Yukon rlll- road that the management of the line Is preparing a tariff tbat will quote through rates on freight from Skagway to Dawson. It Is expected the tariff sheets with full quotations will arrive In few days, and that the rates will be such that merchants of this city will feel that they are placed on an equal basis with Sound cities in competition for the trade of the Yukon basin.
 An official ofthe White Pass road stated yesterday that lt was hoped to give such a rate that would be satisfactory here. He said further:
 "The road expects to give this rate to Skagway In face of the fact that the road has to bear the burden of the fight ln through rates from Seattle to Yukon river points as against the trade out of Seattle by the St. Mlehaels route.
 Seattle Is at the base of the Skagway route as we'll as the St. Mlehaels route to the Klondlke and therefore it Is more ure. ent that the railroad create through rate beginning at that point where SO much traffic for the Yukon originates, and from which point It can go bv ocean In vessels that are to sail for Nome this season heav' ly laden with passengers, but not crowd ed for freight and therefore likely to offer their freight space at elOser margin on the goods for delivery at St. Michael for the Upper Yukon.
 "l am conversant with the situation in Seattle, and know that while any number of passenger berths are being sold, that the companies have trouble In filling freigh, space for Nome. Therefore they are likely to be glad to get something for KlondIk' by way of St. Mlehaels.
 "The railroad company, in competition with thls river condition. must therefore be on the Alert to divert freight out ol Seattle, and hence it's through rate from the Sound. However, the road wants tC do all 1t can for Skagway and will SoOr have a through tariff applicable from thl: point to Yukon points.
 "The road will give good dispatch, and to that end will have rolling stock to move | freight IS fast as it comes here, and ex poets that It's liver connections will give as good service,
