 OPENS LOCAL OFFICE HERE

G. A. McNicholl, representative of the Grand Trunk Pacific railway, the Pacific coast terminus of which is at Prince Rupert, B. C., arrived on the Jefferson yesterday morning from Juneau and left on his return to Prince Rupert on the Princess Sophia last night.
 While here MT. McNichon made arrangements with V. A. Peterson Of the P. c. s. S. Go. to handle the Skagway ticket business of the Grand Trunk Pacific.
 In talking to a Daily Alaskan man yesterday, MT. McNicholl said:
 The Grand Trunk is now op- erating two through trains each week between Prince Rupert and Winnipeg, with sleepers and diners attached, the run each way being made in 72 hours. Next year it is thought that daily service will be maintained. }
 People on their way to the East via Skagway from either Alas ka or the Yukon territory can save 4S hours in time and $14 in cash by .debarking from the boat at Prince Rupert and taking the Grand Trunk railway, for the fare to all points East over the railway from there is the same as that charged ever transcOntiuental lines from Vancouver and seattle, while the fare between skagway and Prince Rupert is only $16.OO as against $30.OO to Seattle.
 Although during the early stages Of the European war our bout service was discontinued oe- tween Prince Rupert and seattle, it has since been resumed, and it IS further contemplated by the Grand Trunk management to next year put on line of passenger and freight steamers from Prince Ru- pert to Southeastern Alaska and British Columbia ports"
