 Freight Rates.
WILL MEET IN JUNEAU
Charges Against Steamship Companies Can Be Made by Individuals when the
 Investigation Starts.

That the investigation of ad- yances in freight rates between AL aska and the States will be thor ough and that 1t will include hear mgs at Juneau and perhaps, else where in Alaska is indicated in a letter to Charles Goldstein, or this city. from Secretary George B. Me Ginty, Secretary of the Interstate Commerce Commission.
 Mir. McGintys letter was in re- sponse to lotters and telegfams rom Mir Goldstein protesting against a raise in freight rates by the steam ship lines operating between Seat tle and Juneau and other Alaskan ports.
 Probably Little Relief.
 Secretary McGlnty intimates that there is not much hope for relief in connection with port to port rates, on account of the doubt as to the Jurisdiction of the Interstate Commerce Commission.
 The letter from Secretary Me- Gnty, of the Interstate Commerce ! Commission, and the order of the commission directing the investiga- tion, are as follows:
 Mir. Charles Goldstein, Juneau, Alas ka. Dear Sir:
 This will acknowledge receipt of your letter of June 21 and telegram of June To- in regard to increases :n the freight rates and passenger fares between Seattle and Juneau, and discriminations practiced by the steamship lines lt appears from your letter that the rates of which you complain are port-to-port rates and if this is true it is doubtful whether the Commission has juris- diction to deal effectively with the situation.
 On June 3, 1916. the Commission entered an order instituting a gem cral investigation into the rates practices. rules and regulations of common carriers governing the transportation of persons and prop erty subject to the jurisdiction of the Commission between points in Alaska and between points in the the United States and points in AL aska. copy of our order in this proceeding is enclosed Public hear ngs will be held. probably at Ju- neau among other places, and you will be afforded an opportunity to present evidence respecting any of the matters covered by the investi- gatlon.

 The Alaska engineering commission completed the new water system at Anchorage and water was turned into the mains on Jan. 18th, ending water shortage which began with the freeze last November. During the shortage merchants and householders paid Sl a barrel for water taken from holes chopped in the ice on Ship creek and water peddlers reaped a harvest selling to housewives at 15 cents a bucket.
 The gold strike near Cold Bay is one of the facts that go to show that the possibilities of placer mining in the territory are by no means exhausted. There are still uuquestionably many fields of placer that remain to be un- covered It was only after years of prospecting that Ruby developed into a camp. Hundreds of people left Fair banks in 1908 without seeing sign of gold although they had been on the ground for many months. The same story may be told of other districts and the difficulty experienced in finding the paystreaks in those places indicates the possibility that there are numerous sections in the vast territory where the crowd has never penetrated in suf- fictent numbers to give them a real testiUg.-Gateway.

Echoes of the Valdez dock case are still heard. Recently a man named Borgen, a member of the town council of Seward, declared at a meeting of that body that Judge F. M. Brown, of the district court of this division, had de- cided for the dock company against tbe city in the recent dock case at Valdez because he himself, the judge, was a stockholder in the dock company. Borgen even went SO far ss to declare that the higher court would reVerse the decision of Judge Brown, presumably because the decision would be found to have been influenced by the fact stated above.

 powers of the Alaska legislature, he
 said that he had expected as much, but
 that he was prepared to meet the ene-

 also that the bill had been framed up
 by Dr. Lester Jones, by and with the consent of the secretary, both of whom are positively opposed to anything that the Alaska legislature may do with the fishing industry of the north, but that they would be shown up in due time.

 The friendly interest and support of congress in Alaska railway construction as we'll as the desire to advance the work as rapidly as possible, are evil denced in the favorable committee re- port made to the house of representa-. tives on a deficeucy bill covering g, 6O7 OOO for construction work to begin with the opening of spring. Under the impetus of an early start, the govern ment railway will be extended from the Matanuska river forty five miles to Chickaloon. the center of the Mata- nuska coal fields, and also from Mata- nuska Junction northward toward Tal- keetna, on the Fairbanks main line. In addition to this, the Alaska railway commission hopes to complete track laying from Kern Creek to Ship Creek Junction. There is also provision made for eQuippiug the Alaska Northern line, out of Seward, with gasoline cars for passenger traffic, and for an Sl8O,0OO payment on the purchase price of that railroad. The friendly attitude of con- gressional cooperation in Alaska rail road affairs is an earnest that 1916 con- structlon will progress under the most favorable conditions and that there will be no lack or apprOpIiaIlouS Jo coNeI the work planned by the commission. All of this means a continuation of the material progress in the opening of Alaska begun last season. 1t means more steel rails, more ties, more bridge tmbers, more men employed and more money in circulation in the Northwest and it means more business for Seattle. Further than this, it means, with the addition of the regular appropriation, the opening of new towns and rich agricultural and mining districts that will furuish homes and employment and fortunes for thousands of Ameri' cans.
