ALASKA PRODUCT SENT SEAT TLE.
 SOLD HERE:

Since the shipment of fifty-eight tons of turnips to Seattle, by the l hOmesteaders in the Matanuska Val ley, it has developed that large part of the turnips were resold by the pro duce merchants in Seattle and ship ped to merchants in Cordova and in | Valdez.
 "The roundabout shipment of these aurnips," says a statement issued by the land and industrial department of the Alaska Engineering Commission lis ridiculous when it is taken into condition that the distance between Anchorage and Seattle, by the direct route of 1430 nautical miles. and be- ] tween Seattle and Valdez 1475 miles i by the inside route, making total of | 29O5 miles that the turnips were transported by water; whereas if they had been shipped direct to Valdez i from Anchorage, the distance they
 would have been transported by water would have been only 3S2 miles, the
 unnecessary miles they travelled being
 2423 miles.
 Cooperation is Essential. Tt is evident that a system of CO., | operations betweenthe merchant and
 farmers in Alaska must be worked out
 to overcome the unsatisfactory con
 dition. The Alaska farmer must also
 be given favorable freight rate which
 will enable Alaska products to com.
 pete in Alaska markets with products
 grown in the states.
 "The inauguration of freight rates | that will permit this competition will contribute materially in advancing the
 development of the territory with ade- quate transportation facilities. The spirited development of the resources that the competition would stimulate and would create an enormous ton mage for boats plying to Alaska. Improvement Next Year Tt is hoped that before the market ing season for next years crops ar rives that some line of cooperation will be reached between the mer- chants, homesteaders and steamship companies that will prevent a like oc- currence in handling of these pro- duets, and that will enable the home steaders to dispose of their products directly to the merchants in the var ious towns along the Alaska coast in- | stead of shipping these products | from the states"

 FUR HERE

Traffic officials of the Alaska s. S. Co. began arrangements for the transportation of solid freight train, consisting of a 130-ton loco motive and forty steel flat cars form Seattle to Cordova, where the train will be placed in service on the Cop per River X Northwestern Railroad. says the Seattle Times.
 The big freight engine will be sent north aboard the steamship Cordova. railroad track will be built to the deck of the Cordova and when the tide is at the proper height, the en- zine will be shifted aboard the yes sel for transportation to Alaska.
 The forty flat cars. which are of nfty-ton variety, are on their way to Seattle and will be loaded aboard the vessels of the Alaska s. s. Co. and sent to Alaska. Because of the scarcity of freight cars. as result of the war, the new equipment is coming west loaded and as soon as the cars are discharged they will be made ready for shipment to Cordova for use. Before the war new euuip- ment of this kind was sent west empty but with cars at premium the Cop per River & Northwestern Railroad Company permitted transcontinentai lines to load the cars for Seattle.
