In Railway Circles

~ ONE months ago the railroads In
this city brought to the attention
of the public through the medium
OF this paper the necessity of ca
tering to the Alaska trade. 1t was
pointed out that something should be
done to secure part of s3o.o00,ooo ex-
pended annually by the people In Alas
ka for supplies. 1t was shown that
Seattle practically had a monopoly OF
this trade and that IL San Francisco
merchants tried they would be able to
cut into that monopoly. The matter
was taken up by the business organiza-
tions and an effort made to induce ship
owners to send a vessel direct to Nome.
This was finally done, and the sailing OF
the Indiana straight for Nome heavily
laden shows that San Franciscos bust
nessmen can very materially share
this profitable trade with Seattle. IT
means also that the transcontinental
lines will help supply what Is con-
sumed in Alaska and that a large pro-
portion of that s30,000,000 will find Its
home here The Indiana took 400
steerage passengers and $50 first class
passen gers. besides 5000 tons of
freight, and the fact that rail and ship
could be got together. as In China
basin, made the freight transfer cheap
er and easier. On July the Indiana
will sail again for Nome, and IA car
loads of beer and several carloads of
canned milk are en- route to this city
for that vessel. In the past all this
transcontinental business would have
been shipped to Seattle. but what in
terests San Francisco people most Ia
that millions OF dollars will be spent in
this city for supplies for the northern
mines.
