MUST EXPECT
RATE RAISE
Admiral Line Publicity Man Says
Company Forced to Charge
More.

The high cost Of living has affected
steamship companies as we'll as indi-
viduals and unless the Pacific Steam
ship Company raises both freight and
passenger rates it will be compelled to
operate at loss, according to E. j.
Griffith, who is in charge of the publ
city of the Pacific Steamship Com
pany. Griffith arrived in Seward on
the Admiral Evans last night.
He is making a tour of Alaska ports
with the intention of gathering ma
terial for an extensive advertising
campaign of Alaska attractions. He
is accompanied by his mother and sis
ter.
"Our company has just recently ad-
vanced the wages of its employees to
a total amount of $5O0,O0O per year."
said Mr.. Griffith. "The cost of oper-
alton of our company has increased
tremendously during the last year.
For instance, the price of fuel oil has
doubled and the company will have
to pay approximately $1o000,OO0
more per year for its fuel supply
than heretofore. Such added expenses
as these make it a certainty that
rates will have to be increased"
This is Mr.. Grifiths first visit to
Seward and he was very enthusiastic
over the scenic attractions of Resur-
rection bay. He said that it was the
intention of the company to develop
the tourist travel to Southwestern
Alaska to it's fullest extent.

the little kitten; then bursting forth
with song she used to sing In hel
girlish days, and then shadow
would come across her face and she
would stand moment gazing on the
air, her thoughts far away in the
distant South, for her husband has
gone forth to battle for his country
The meal is ready; she is about to
place the child at the table when
there is a knock at the door, and a
kind-hearted neighbor losses her a
letter and as he turns to 60 away
smilingly says: II hope there's good
news in it." She takes seat and
opens the letter. At a glance she de-
ects the strange writing and com
mences to read with strange dread
Of some awful calamity hanging over
her. Ere she has finished the first
page the sheet falls from her tremb-
ling hands, and with cry of heart
rendering agony she drops upon her
knees and clasps her darling babe to
her breast; it turns it's timid face to its
mothers face and wonders in its in
nocent little heart what makes her
mother art so strange, and as it sees
her fearful agonizing face and hears
her piteous means, it too becomes
terrified and raises its feeble plain
tive cries which only causes the
wretched woman to press it closer to
her until it finally becomes tired and
drops asleep with the pearly drops
still on it's cheeks. But why this
wall of agony in that quiet little
home? It is the same tale that has
been told so often within the past
two years. "The husband and father
is dead. Shot down while CALAMITY
charging the enemy" For hours the
mother sits with her babe in cher
arms; the years of agony felt at
such a time are only known to them
WIN nave pdoSCu lAlou6h ~ thSAA
selves. At last she rouses herself,
carefully places her child upon the
bed, and moves about the house
scarcely realizing what she is doing.
The carefully prepared meal is re-
moved from the table untasted; the
room is put in it's usual good order,
but contentment and cheerfulness
have flown from that once happy
home forever-and thus passes her
Thanksgiving dinner.
Now I take my last bite of junk,
finish my coffee, and rise from my
meal fully satisfied that there are
those that have more reasons to
complain than I.
Yours truly,
M. B. DOWD.
P. ST. guess you will think
was some time eating that junk.
