cent immediately, or, second, with draw the service and tie the vessels up. We are now preparing tariffs making increases for the sole purpose of making two ends meet, but until we successfully do so, the people of Alaska cannot expect any better or any additional service; in fact, it is sure to be curtailed. The American coastwise shipping business is in a precarious condition and it is up to the people of Alaska to pay for their steamship service, which they have not been doing of late. The private companies cannot go on much longer under the present conditions.
 Proposals of Company
 Our management made the follow ing offers to the Shipping Board rep resentatives in Seattle:
 "First-Sell to the board the ves- sells now in the Alaska service at their appraised value.
 "Second-Charter at a rate of - per cent per year of their appraised valuation.
 "Third-We to operate our Alaska boats under the supervision of the Alaska Shipping Board on a com mission basis.
 . Alaska must have steamship serv- ice and it goes without saying that Alaska will have steamship service. It is too valuable territory and there are too many people interested to permit of it's isolation. Alaska IS also able to pay for steamssip serv- ice. and we, as steamship owners and operators, are quite willing to provide the vessels and a vastly bet ter service than the present, provided we are assured of an ordinarily de i cent return on the money involved.

Steamships Lose Money

When MT. Leehey and MT. Semmes of the Alaska Shipping Board were in Seattle, the officials of our company told them that we welcomed any investigation by any authorized competent body, and that all we wanted was a fair and reasonable re- turn on the capital invested, and if any shipping board or other regula- tions can bring about this result we should be more than happy. Our records show that we lost heavily on our Alaska business last year and that we have also lost considerable money so far this year.
 "We have just been forced to grant, effective August 1, increased wages to all unions with which we do business, including all individuals aboard the ships and the longshOre' men and working forces ashore, az preeating a million dollars increased expenses to this company per annum. We must get this money to pay the wages. We are not making it at nreseut: therefore we have two lines of action-frst, raise the rates of freight and passage at least 20 per

KLINE GIVES HIS VIEWS ON
 HIGHER RATES

An explanation of the present high passenger rates on Alaska vessels ard the necessity of raising them another 20 per cent as we'll as the offers made to Maurice D. Leehey and Richard M. Semmes, attorney and representative of the Alaska Shipping Board, by the Pacific Steam ship Company to sell the Shipping Board their vessels, charter them to the Shipping Board or to run them under the direction of the Shipping Board on a commission basis, is given by J. H. Kline, who formerly was Ju- neau agent of the Pacific Steamship Company located in Cordova.
 In letter to the Juneau Empire MT. Kline says:
 Wears Expansion Shoes
 There has been considerable pub- licity of late given to the Alaska Shipping Board" said MT. Kline, "and the steamship companies operat- ing between Seattle and Alaska have come in for a great deal of criticism regarding freight and passenger rates applying between the States and here, and by some we have been accused and convicted without even a trial. The preamble of the Ship, ping Board act passed by the last legislature states that the freight and passenger rates of the steamship companies engaged in transportation to the ports of Alaska have become excessive and exOrbitant, or words to that effect The law was passed before there was an official investiga tion as to whether the rates apply ing between Seattle and Alaska were really excessive or not. I will admit that the rates charged by us are higher now than ever before, but tell me something that is not. I have a pair of shoes on now I paid $15 for that two years ago I could have bought for $7, and everything else in proportion; groceries, clothing and everything we use is higher now than at any time since just after the Civil war.

Troop 7 Scouts Hike
to Fort Washington

With the cold blasts at their worst
last Saturday. the scoutmaster and a
patrol of Scouts hilled to Fort WASH
ington and ran over it thoroughly from
historical standpoint. The descrip-
ton and points of history concerning
this spot were very we'll given last
week by Red Cloud in the Wigwam.
Lots of Scouts did not know that We
have such a historical place so near.
The highest number of merits for the
month of March was won by Kermit
Smith, whose total was "a. William
Steckley was second and William Bod
mer came in next.
Earl Chandler became a recruit mem
Der of the troop last Friday evening.
All tenderfoot examinations will be
given before the troop so Earl is going
to make 100 per cent.
The first of the first class Scouts made
their appearance before the Honorary
Board at Scout Headquarters last eve
ming to try for merits. We hope they
made good.

Pack Two Braves the
Strong Winds of March

Well, we didn't have quite eighteen
cubs on the hike. but ten fellows had
nerve enough to buck the strong March
winds. At the Square we met Mr..
Swope and some Scouts of Troop 10,
who kindly consented to join us. We
left at $50, and rode to oysters Point.
Then, according To Mr.. Swope's COM
pass we went due north until we reached
the Conodoguinet creek. The road was
exposed TO the wind to such an extent
that the pressure on one of the Scouts
canteens was so great that it started
to leak. and a cub was blown off his
feet. If it hadn't been for kindly
telephone pole, he'd be sailing yet. Some
wind. I'll say.
We followed the creek to Orr's bridge,
studying birds and wild flowers on the
way. We saw lots of blue birds and
warblers and found anemone, spring
beauties, and dutchman's breeches in
bloom. At Orr's bridge we tried to find
n spot sheltered from the wind but it
couldn't be done, so we ate our lunch
behind the stone wall of the approach.
At AS we started home by way of the
Carlisle pike. reaching the Square on
the 5-o'Clocl car.
Another new member last week,
George w. Naylor, introduced by Rich
ard Adams. The stars are ready for
distribution and additional caps have
been ordered. I expect to see every
cub in his place at $50 tonight. Sorry
Baker was sick last week. Hope he'll
be there tonight.
