WELL KNOWN MINING MAN
 ON BOARD NORTHWESTERN

J. L. steel, postmaster at Land lock, Alaska, well known through out the Territory, passed through Skagway last night on the North western on his way home from the outside. Mir. Steel availed him self of the opportunity while the vessel was in port to pay the Daily Alaskan a short visit during which he took occasion to speak of the various advertised routes to the newly discovered gold fields of the interior.
 In his long residence in the north, Mir. Steel has prospected ov- CT and traversed a great portion of tie country followed by the differ ent trails and had no hesitancy in saying that the one from Whitenors via Kluane lake to Chisana is the one which should be used to the ex- clusion of all others.
 While he admitted that the dis tance to the camp by this route is greater than some others, he said that this disadvantage is more than offset by the Iessening of the hard ships of travel and what is of more importance the absolute safety to human life.

Washington.LIn the Missouri rate
cases the Supreme Court held the
rates confiscatory on the st. Louis &
Hannibal, Kansas City, Clinton &
Springfield, and Chicago Great West
ern railroads. The court held the
rates valid as to the St. Louis South
western, the Missouri Pacific, the ST.
Louis, Iron Mountain & Southern, the
Wabash, the Chicago, Milwaukee &
ST. Paul and the Chicago & Alton.
The decision holding the rates con-
fiscatory as to the Chicago, Great
Western, was made to apply by virtue
of stipulation between the state and
the railroads, to the Quincy, Omaha
& Kansas City railroad and the ST. Jo-
seph & Grand Island railway.
The decision was based on the two
cent passenger law and the maximum
freight law.
Justice Hughes, who announced the
decision, held that the point sought to
be made by the railroads to the effect
that the Missouri rates were an inter
ference with interstate commerce,
must be decided against them for the
same reasons given by the court in the
Minnesota rate cases. The court also
sustained the rates of the Missouri
law as to the Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy, the Atchison, Topeka G Santa
F6. the Kansas City Southern, the
Missouri, Kansas & Texas, the Chi
cago, Rock Island & Pacific Gnclud-
ing the ST. Louis, Kansas City and
Coloradol and the ST. ouis & Sar
Francisco. In each of these cases the
DEGREES of the lower court in favor of
the railroads were reversed. The Ar
kansas maximum freight rate law and
the twocent passenger fare were up
held as valid The West Virginia two
cent law also was upheld as valid.
The court upheld as valid the rates
imposed by the Oregon Railroad Com
mission out of Portland, thus affirm
ing the Federal Court of that state.
