WILL HAVE
 NEW LINE
Portland and Tacoma Combine on Line for Seutheartern
 Alaska Run
tSkagway Alaskan,

Through apparently reliable channels comes the story that there will be new line of steamers on the Southeastern Alaska run next yesr. Ths plan is to operate from Taesaa, and to mske . speciality of handling Portland and Ta- coma business. Portland and Tacoma business men are said to be behind the move.
 It is said the new company proposes to use two steamers. The present plan is to make combination with the Hum. boldt Steamship Company and to ope- rate the Humboldt as one of the new liners. The other steamer, according to present intentions, will be the George ". Elder. Some of the promoters of the enterprise, it is said, are skeptical about the practicsbility of having the Elder as . running mate for the Hum. boldt. They claim that the Alaskan people now demand passenger steamers of the very best kind, and they fear the Elder is of too ancient origin and too soon risen from the bottom of the Co., lumbia to permit of her making proper impression upon the travelling public. It is asserted, however that if the Elder shall be placed on the run, she will be repaired to meet whasever requirements the people may demand.
 It is confidently expected that the Northern Pacific will make a low rate on through Alaska freight from Portland to Tacoma and the steamship company will absorb whatever it might be, giving Portland the same through rate to Alas ka and Yukon points as that obtaining from Seattle and Vancouver. The plan is to have the new line in full operation before the beginning of the busy season of 1907. ...s,

DROWNED, WITHOUT DOUBT

Last week Commissioner Snyder raised a fund from donations of citizens to em- ploy parties to go in search of Magnus Danielson, who left town in small boat on the night of the 10th inst for the cannery. W. E. Lloyd and Adolph Eng strom went out, and the second day found the boat of the missing man on Zarembo JsIand. When found, the boat showed rough usage on the rocks. it had been upside down, and when found f, although right side up, nothing waa in the boat. It is quite probable that Maggie had fallen out, and in attempt ing to get into the boat. had overturned it. That the unfortunate man drowned, there is no doubt.

SHEEP-Packers were travelling g a very
moderate pace this morning. As noted yes
terday. the light receipts have forced prices
to very high point, 50 that this market
Is out Of line with all others. In fact, fat
sheep and lambs have been selling right up
to Chicago. The result Is that packers evi-
IDENTIFY do not want only enough sheep or
lambs to I'LL the most urgent orders, hence
are buying very sparingiy. This means a
slow market and this morning they sue

sheep looking as much as loo lower, than
yesterday while the same lambs that were
here Yesterday sold &c lower As noted
yesterday the market Is I'm a peculiar con-

the feeling Is decidedly weak.

changed this morning. There were a few

been heavy enough this week TO attract
