 CAUSES COMMENT

Announcement made at Port land few days ago that the newly organized Pacific Steam ship Company soon after the first Of the year will phase a line of steam ships in direct service be- tween the Columbia river and Southeastern Alaska ports has caused considerable comment in Seattle and shipping men have been indulging in interest ing speculation as to the real interests back of the venture. II was stated yesterday by men in close touch with the situa- ton that the project is being fathered bv the White Pass X Yukon Route. which has been operating the Skagwav Steam ship Company between Seattle and Skagwav in connection with their railway line into the interior of Alaska. They have had the steamship Leelanaw on the route. that vessel carry ing coal. lumber ard lniscel- laneaus freight to the Nortt and returning with copper ore from the Atlas mine. near W'hitehOrse. for the Smelter at Tacoma. Portland shipments to Alaska have been brought 10 this city by train and placed aboard the regular vessels ply ing to the North and the new line will give the city on He Willamette her first dirers service since the klondike gold excitement. Ii is definitely stat ed that the Pacific Steamship Company will connect with the White Pass & Yukon at Skag- way, giving Portland shippers direct service 10 interior Alas ka. The fact that Southeast ern Alaska has more than fifty salmon canneries and last year purchased approximately s9.000.000 in merchandise. all Of which was shipped from the Sound. has caused the activity among Portland shippers in an effort to get direct service 10 the Northland. F. H. Dodge. Of Portland. is president Of the new steamship line. The com panv has chosen \. F. Titus.

mer's Ford automobile turned turtle
near the Middle Granville, n. Y,

Graves, who was operating the ear, no.
ticed three dogs in the road. In at
tempting to avoid the animals the ear
evidently ran over them and swerved
into a stone wall where it was over

not injured. The touring ear, which
Mr.. Graves received new only a few
