TACOMA E[KS SPEEDY
START BASEBALL CAREER BY
SENDING BELLINGHAM
DOWN TO OVERWHELMING
DEFEAT.


Tacoma Elks started on their
baseball career yesterday in a
blaze of glory. They took Bel
bingham into, camp IL to 3, and
came near making it shut-out.
II was one Of the best games
seen at Athletic park and devoid
entirely of the burlesque features
common to amateur contests. Ia
coma played like clockYork and
only one error was chalked UP all
day.
Bellingham also put up good
game, but was outclassed.
DR.. Burns, the twirler for Ia
coma, had the other fellows
guessing all the time. For six in
nings they did not get chance.
Then he slowed up little and
they got half a dozen hits which
we're good for three runs.
Tacoma hammered the ball
hard and had things her way
from the start. Score:

Barrett has been one of the

TRANSPORTATION

With the advent of Schubach < Hamilton into the transportation field of Interior Alaska the people who years have suffered under excessive freight hope of relief.
 Ever since the discovery of gold in the North the transportation companies have succeeded in getting the lions share of the production and unless the evnces spirit different from that which actuates the older ones the people must still continue to pay immense tribute to the owners of steamboats. N @ s a-aasA1 e
 It has been demonstrated time and again that the actual cost of landing freight at Fairbanks is in the neigh borhood of only $3O per ton and yet the flat rate to that city is maintained at $73 per ton with class exceptions which includes nearly everything but pig iron and ballast which may possibly take the fiat rate other articles ing various rates which go high $15O per ton.
 In the discussion of conditions in the Fairbanks dis.
 ct brought about by the strike last year it proven conclusivey that the miners and operators all merely working for the transportation companies and the banks the former of which got by far the greater part of the put =-=ga-s n#ou5 -aa3a .ass7e !
 The merchants have been kept poor through keen peon and yet the prices which they have forced charge the have been high enough to keep workingman toing the year round without getting thing ahead but all the time the steamboats have rying in the supplies and taking away all the profits of tn, people for their years work
 That the people of Fairbanks has long tamely sub mtted to this annual hodup much to their dscred that the relief they anticipate not of their ing but is merely the investment of rival company nothing of which they be proud and at the best temporary. s'->. >- &A- @>E5l&%s s@ssA E1b-

Commissioner
 Again Here

z Commissioner. V. l.. Bevington returned Saturday from Fair banks, where he has been for the past three weeks attending to af- fairs connected with the Gibson case. He reports that city as being much the same as ever, and that the holiday trade done by the merchants far exceeded any previous year in the, history of the camp.
 The Fairbanks people, he says, are "qvartz crazy" everybody in the city being interested in one or more mines, and all evincing the greatest faith in the ultimate future of that city as a hard~rock camp. On one claim they have a shaft down 80 feet and are still in what is considered good rock, and all the stockholders are mak- ing plans for spending their fu- ture winters in Europe.
 MT. .aBevington is very glad to get back to this city, and says he hopes it will not be nec- essary for him to leave again for long time, as this place looks much better to him than the me- tropolis. t

great thoroughness- On the river they are getting a fleet in shape, and will have three boats that are among the best on the river. The Nuniyak and the Monarch were used by them during the latter part of last season, and it is that they will purchase the Julia B., staunch boat of large capa- city. They have two, large barges, the Vachon and the Sterling, each of 400 tons capacity. On the ocean the firm now owns or controls the Hyades, eMackinaw, Stanley Dollar, Jennie and he St. Croix, and it is perfectly appar- eat that they are going after Alaska trade with 8 vengeance, and mean to nave large share of it. The fact that the St. Croix is built of wood makes ner fine vessel for the Norton-sound route. She is thus better adapted for oucking the ice than steel vessels. The vessel hassplendid speed, being capable of from IT to IS knots when driven. She can easily and economically steam l5 knots, and with this speed she can make the run from Seattle to Nome in six days.
 In addition to accommodations for 190 first-class, the St. Croix can also carry 200 second-class, and 100 steerage pas ,engers. When running between New York and Fall River, Mass, ,sshe had a license for 500 night passengers and 800 n the daytime. She has been laid up tt Fall River for several months. With .ne advent of Schubach & Hamilton Into the Nome passenger trade there nay be interesting ngsdevelopments next summer, as rivalry is keen on that ,Uute. Last summer the firm had no ,,assenger vessel of it's own but char
 cred foreign steamer to carry pas ,engers North. Rival lines will likely
 lot permit the new firm to cut into the ,yassenger traffic without some retalia-
 ory measure, so that there is every likelihood of interesting competition.

NEW TRANSPORTATION
 COMPANY FOR INTERIOR
Schubach & Hamilton Now Control Yukon River Steamboats and Barges of Sufficient Ton- mage to Transport Their Ocean 1us- t5aa
 ness-Peopte Expect Relief

s
 That the transportation business of Alaska is apt to develop some interest ing and beneficial features next summer becomes evident in the light of recent acquisitions by the firm of Schubach & Hamilton who have announced their in- tentior of entering actively into the shipping business of this country with redoubled energy, and they have shown their good faith in the matter by the purchase of new ocean steamer, the St. Croix, which will be put on the Nome route, and with which theyghepe to give the other transportation lines a swift run for their money the next sea son.
 There wascensi,ierable talk here last summer of rate war that would cul- :minate On the inland waters in the sum- mer of 1909, and that sort of conversa- tion can still be heard; the consumers maintaining that the rates are exorbit- ant and unjust, and the present ship pers declaring that the rates cannot be reduced, and that, even at the rates that prevailed last summer bot the N. c. Co. and the N. A. T. & T. Co. quit at the end of the season with no appre- ciable profit for the summers work.
 The assertion has been made by those
Hot Springs post., 1909-01-16

who claim to know something about in- land transportation that,a profit can be made at rate of $40 ton, while that statement is directly contradicted by others who say that it takes the utmost of good management and good luck to get the freight here at that cost.
 When sSchubach & Hamilton entered the field of, inland transportation the prediction was made that they would slash inland rates next simmer in determined manner, and consumers of the interior were inbilant in the belief that the cost of goods in Alaska would be almost cut in half. Latest advices have put ascopper on@that but of TO- nance, and is is. claimed by some that there will belno appreciable reduction. in the rates that will. prevail next summer
 However, it would look as though some reduction must inevitably result as the natural consequence of the entry of another interest in the competition, for the transportation circles have been well established and closely drawn in the past, and must necessarily undergo readjustmert. .s9f3 sas;y ,

PUNISHMENT FOR KIDNAPERS.

Since the kidnapping or little Willie
Whitla, at Sharon, Pa, some days
ago. in Which the abductors demand
ed, and received, a ransom Of s10,-
900 for his release, many of the
papers all over the country have been
urging that the crime Of kidnapping
be made punishable by death.
This crime is the very worst form
of blackmail, for, doubtless every
kidnaper has murder in his heart if
he does not promptly receive the
amount demanded for the safe return
of the child. OF course, the ransom
is paid if it Is within the powerof the
parents and their friends to raise the
amount demanded. There are few
parents, If any, who could withstand
the threats of the kidnapers. 1t is
almost impossible to even imagine the
agony and anxiety which devoted
parents must undergo during the day:
and weeks and months of suspense tt
which they are often subjected wheI
made the victims of such a conspir
acy. There is no way in which the
parents can know how desperate ant
determined the kidnapers are ant
yet the chances are that if closet!
pursued, that they would carry on
their threat and kill the victim.
If those guilty of such an awful
crime are not to be executed the,
should at least be placed in prison
for life. SO that the public woul,
never have occasion to fear furthe
acts Of lawlessness on their part
