FIGHT TO BE MADE
fORALASkAN TRADE
Captain |. M. Hibbard Addresses
Promotion Comriittee on Loss
of Northern Business
Declares Seattle Has Taken
Highly Profitable Advantage
of This City's Neglect

The loss of the Alaskan trade to
San Francisco and the best means of
recovering it were the subjects dis
cussed before the reception committee
OF the California Promotion committee
at their regularly weekly luncheon in
the Fairmont hotel yesterday,
Captain !. NJ. Hibbard, superintendent
the main speaker brought to light sew
eral startling facts, among them being
that during his six year stay in Alaska
he met only two commercial travellers
from San Francisco
The Alaskan territory said he,
imports $4,000 900 worth of goods, of
which but s1.ooo.oO goes directly from
San Francisco. OF the remaining vast
sum much of the goods are originally
purchased in California but are shipped
from Seattle, and there is no reason
why California merchants should not
dispense with the costly services of
Seattle. The freight rates from San
Francisco to Nome are the same as
those from Seattle, and feel confident
| Cndl II the san FRANCISCO merchants
will interest themselves in the Alaskan
trade they will be able TO get IL.
The fact is that Seattle has directly
fcatered to the Alaskan trade. Years of
neglect On the part OF California has
resulted in the Alaskan thinking that
the only place in the United States is
Seattle. II would not be difficult to
bring large number of the 10000
Aiaskans to come to California for the
summer months. Get the Alaskan here
ionce and you have better opportunity
of getting his trade in the future"
Other speakers along the same line
were Doctor Edwards. Joseph d. Grant
and F. F. Cennor. The upshot of the
meeting was that a motion was passed
/ calling for the appointment of a COM
mittee TO ofaeiaily take the matter up
with the other commercial bodies of
! San Francisco and to arrange a plan
of campaign by which the merchants
OF California will recover the trade
which went to Seattle following the
disaster of 1906.
