PRESENT RATES
 TO BE CONTINUED

l
 senger and freight agent of the Humboldt Steamship company at Seattle, is a passenger north on the Humboldt this trip. To the Miner Man this morning in response to the inquiry as to whether his company contem- plated cutting the passenger rates between Southeastern AL aska and Sound points, said: "As far as 1 know, there is neither the desire nor the inten- ton on the part of the Hum- boldt to cut rates of any kind, freight or passenger. Some three years ago, we decided that we could carry freight to Ketchikan from Seattle for $500 per ton and have been doing so ever since, making a little money in the operation. This last summer we were ap- preached by representatives of the regular companies operat- ing to this region and invited by them to enter a combination for the purpose of boosting the freight rates. This we refused | to do, because our plan of ac- ton in the past had always been to fight the combination, so the freight rates were slaughtered to try to bring us to their terms. We are handling about all the freight our vessel can accom- odate at this time at the same cid rate, which is a fair one to all concerned, and if the other companies cannot meet eXpen- ses at that rate, it becomes sim ply a matter of management, but we can and will operate at the present rate if the people of this neighborhood will give us their business. If on the other hand, rates are cut to such an extent that we cannot meet eX- penses, we shall simply be com pelled to tie our steamship up, until the rates return to a living point again, when we should come back on the run, being as sured as we are that we could and would get our share of whatever business is offering.
 "Personally I do not think it is a good thing for the country to have low passenger rates at this season as it means that a great many people who would otherwise winter here, will go below for the winter, and the business men of the country would be thus deprived of busi- ness which properly belongs to them. This, because we realize that the general welfare of the country is our welfare, we do not want to see happen, and 1t will not happen unless brought about by the other companies iE their attempt to force us off the run so that later they can boost the rates and get back what they are losing.
 'I would appreciate it if the Miner would thank the people of Ketchikan and vicinity for the business they are so Loyalty giving us, and let them under stand that the Humboldt is here to stay, insuring them living rates and a good service"
