Shipping

The Railway and Marine News in the ''Year's Review of Shipping ou the Pa cifc Coast" quotes E. c. Ward, general agent of the Pacific Coast s. s. Co.,, as follows: "With the exception of the Klondike years, 1909 brought the largest passenger travel in the history of the company. The excursion travel to Southeastern Alaska was never greater. For the first time we ran an extra excursion steamer on the scenic Alaska route, and for 1910 the same schedule has been announced. The 1909 Nome season was peculiar in that larger number of passengers came out than went in, except on the first voyage in June. With the excep tion of the first, southbound steamers carried nearly their capacity of passen- gers"
 Frank E. Burns, manager Alaska S.S. Co.,, said: "Never before did we carry so many excursionists on the South eastern Alaska run. Our two steamers each made five excursion trips with a capacity number sach time. However, 1909 was marked by numerous rate wars caused by the competitor of out side steamers. Rates were cut on sev-

The report of the rumpus in the sen ate committee on territories last Satur- day leads A}askans to speculate as to the business which brings ex-Governor Hoggatt and Major Richardson before that committee. 1t is related that Delegate Wickersham intimated that Hoggatt appeared as an ageat for the Guggenheims. Perhaps he does not, but one thing is certain, he does not represent Alaska. Mir. Wickersham is tbe legally elected delegate and it is poor grace for either Hoggatt or Rich ardson to butt iu. If, when the time comes for the delegate election next fall, Wickershau has not pleased his constituents, he may be relegated to private life. But it is ouly fair to give him a chance.
