M. D. LEEHEY STARTS BATTLE FOR LOWER
 RATES IN ALASKA

The following correspondence from M. M. Mattison, Washington correspondent of the Seattle Times, appeared in the Times under Wash ington date line of June z:
 Maurice D. Leehy, of Seattle, who represents the Alaska Territorial Shipping Board created by the last Alaska Legislature to either estab- lish a steamship line between Seat tie and Alaskan ports and others be- tween points in the Territory or force reduction in freight rates, better mail service and more frequent pas senger facilities arrived here tonight to appeal to Congress for relief
 "The first chance Alaskans have to obtain the relief MT. Leehy is seeking is through the Shipping Board, the next big opportunity is via the Con- gressional legislative route and the fial recourse that the northern terri tory holds in the background is a 5,000,OO0 bond issue to establish a Territorial line of steamships.
 Gov Thomas Riggs Jr., Treasurer w. G. Smith and Surveyor-General Charles E. Davidson, are the real members of the Territorial Shipping Board and Attorney-General George Grigsby is their advisor, but Grigsby just has been elected Delegate to Congress and will be busy for quite while disputing with Judge James Wickersham as to whether or not there was an actual vacancy in the House. So. Mir Leehy was sent on to look after the shipping fight. As has been told in the past, freight rates have been increased and Alaska mail now is being forwarded inter- mittently as freight There Is com plaint also as to frequency of service. Senator w. L. Jones, chairman of the Senate Committee on Commerce, was appealed to tonight to help the Alaskans.'

DOUBLE COST IS NOW
 ESTIMATED FOR THE
 BUILDING OF VESSELS

NEW YORK, June 16.-A Lon don dispatch in the World says warships at double the pre-war cost are considered by experts in the shipbuilding line reasonably cheap. It is asserted that the 27,00O-ton battle criusers of the Queen Mary type, which could be constructed originally for $10,000,000 would now cost double that sum. During the four years war the British added 2,000,000 tons to it's Navy at cost of nearly $1.500, ,000, ,000. The sum expended for new con- struction in four years preceding the war was about $350, 100000.

INSURANCE Is A BUSINESS

In the state of Montana state
hail insurance has Just settled with
farmers who had crops destroyed at
~ cents on the dollar.
1t is probable the insurance was on
some mutual or cooperative basis,
because there is no great complaint,
as there would be against private or
stock company insurance.
Farmers carrying policies on crops
in regular standard insurance COM
panies would expect policies paid in
full, or there would be state insur-
ance commissioner raising row.
In North Dakota state hail insur-
ance has worked in the same manner,
and 1t seems so dangerous and risky
a line of insurance that it requires
companies with a large reserve and
fair rates.
In the case of North Dakota and
Montana there is no use going to the
state officials, because it would be
appealing to political situation,
where there is no appeal.

LUMBER PRODUCTION
PROBLEMS

Western, lumber mills are market
ing their product at $3.50 per thous-
and below cost of production.
While wages and material costs re-
main at present figures there is no

Figures from twenty-four typical
West Coast saw mills show cost OF
production for February was s25.45

REAL ESTATE DEALERS

AT the last session of the .legisla
tare. house bill No. 425 became law
requiring any person or firm desir
Gus of carrying on the business Of q
real estate broker in the state to
make application for license to the
commission upon payment Of a H.
cense fee of $500, together with q
bond in the amount Of $1,000 to in
sure the commission against fraudu-
lent representation. said application
to be accompanied with a recommen-
dation OF ten freeholders Of the coun-
ty in which the applicant intends to
carry on his principal business as
real estate broker.
This bill will prohibit dishonest
parties and curbstone operators from
entering into the real estate business
in our state, and will leave the busi-
ness in the hands Of gentlemen who
are credit to our state, and whose
object is to increase our resources in
exchange and sale of properties along
agricultural, commercial and indus
trial lines.
In referring to this measure. the
State Chamber of Commerce has this
to say:
certain citizens in the past that all
the real estate man wanted was to
get his commission. which sentiment
prevails in other states as well as Ore
gon. This Office is in receipt of many
letters from without the state. from
parties having money for investment.

though some plan other than turning
over inquiries to the dealers general
ly should be adopted. Agreement
should be made as to a scale of COM
missions, both as to cash and trade ;
transactions. Some plan of guaran-
tee as to values, other than that
placed by the real estate man and
the seller should be considered,
either by statement of three disin- |
terested parties or some other plan.

BANKING A COMMUNITY
