various conditions, and the disquiet- ing and tempting offers made to pur- chase or charter nearly 50 per cent of the fleet operating between Puget Sound and Alaska.
 What the outcome will be no per son can say, but in the case of the recent withdrawal of the American Hawaiian fleet and the announcement that the most unheard of charter rates had been offered that company, while some of it's vessels had been pur- chased, has caused steamship men generally to admit that the situation is not as satisfactory as could be de sired, and while this northwestern section is already far remote from the scene of the great European conflict. its effect is already being felt just as it's influence has been shown in the changed shipping conditions on both coasts of South America, and in the transatlantic trade. In the latter country the docks are said to be grooming under the weight of the various products of that country, which owners would be willing to move at twice the prevailing rate if tonnage could be procured.

The cry for additional ships has reached to the furthermOst points on the Alaskan coast. Never before in the history of the northern territory has the spring outlook for tonnage movement anywhere nearly approach ed the present situation. Salmon can neries are being increased and oper- ators of these important industries are eager to close a contract for the move ment of their output in any sort of ocean carrier, so long as the valuable food product can be taken safely to a railroad terminal.
 The government appropriation Of S2,OO0. .000 to cover rush work on the railroad being built from Anchorage to the coal mines in the Matanuska field, calls for another immense north bound tonnage, including 45 miles of steel rails and all rail fittings. lumber for sidewalk paving, bridge timbers, station houses and miscellaneous pur- poses, for, notwithstanding the fact that the railroad is being built through the Chugach forest reserve, all the lumber for it's construction, for some reason unknown, is being shipped from
The Cordova daily times., 1916-03-10

Seattle or Tacoma.
 Lastly, the Alaska copper shipments are increasing day by day from every mine in the territory to the big smelt- ing plant at Tacoma, which tonnage alone is calling for additional ships. The leading shippers are the mines included in the recent merger of the Kennecott Mines Corporation, which is now shipping an average of about $2, 900, 900 worth each month. The high price of copper has made it possible for all the other independent mines in Alaska and the Yukon to market their product, and these different companies are eagerly endeayoring to contract for the southbound move ment of their tonnage. The great ac- tivity in the Juneau district of the last three years, incidental to the compile tion of the plant of the Alaska Gasin- eau mine, one of the Jackling proper ties, is to be followed by similar ac- tivity in the same district by the Alaska-Juneau property, which is con- trolled by the Treadwell interests, and this alone creates a new demand for tonnage.

NEED MORE ALASKA FREIGE'TERS

for mining companies, fishing com panies, the government railroad and the like, are beginning to loom in vast quantities, so that it looks as if the operating companies will face truly difficult task in handling this unusual traffic movement.
 As previously pointed out, steamship operators are confronted with offers to purchase their steamers at fabu- lous prices, or to charter same for one, two or three trips at figures which would. if maintained until the end of the year, pay for each vessel. Sev- eral years ago a situation as at pres ent, with Alaska traffic showing an increase of such big figures. might have been handled by the steamship men with delight. and it would have been an easy matter to have picked up any number of additional vessels at low cost in various parts of the country. but in view of the present situation the bright outlook for busi- ness has it's disturbing element in the lack of ships to handle the tonnage offered. in the extremely low rates ruling in the Alaska trade, in the high cost of operation brought about by
