horn nivcn out that the Steamship "nmnanies Were arbitrarily exorbitant !" their bids. A good many people in Alaska have the idea that the Steam ahn ComDanies We're responsible for forcin" the mail to be carried by srr'oht when as matter of fact, the "o'"oanies did not ask for an increase ornr tho amount which they had form a~lv received for service, notwithstand 'no the fact that the expenses of opera ''nn have increased over 100 percent "s rompared to the eXpense of opera ion In Jan. 1917, andwe would like to -av right here that this company's hooks show that there has never been orofit in the mail contract even in -ha days of much lower cost of oper- ating
 The Steamship Companies at a meet 70 in the Seattle Chamber of Com N-"n recently stated plainly that they Were quite content under the present condition. without any mail contract "a thy We're now enabled to cut out a o-"at many calls and deviatious which make it possible to save inOper- atine Expenses alone more than the whole of the comnensation received 'or oarrvlpR the mails. which compen. sstion when divided by the number of 'rins called for in the contract showed '"'-nl 10 cost cf operating one of our zontheastern Alaska ships hours. This surely cannot be called an ex- 0rbitant compensation for services rem Iored.
 However. if the Companies can car -v 'ho mail without suffering any erest loss. they will gladly do so in order to accommodate the people of Alaska. In fairness to the steamship orrnnanies. the people should look to 'hr Post Office Department for the nrccFsary action to bring relief. The "omranies are in no way responsible for the situation and certainly should not have to rest under a cloud for condition brought about blythe arbi- rory stand and the mistaken idea of "~oacmy of the Postal Authorities at Wa shirgton,
 l would like to say, for this com oany. that the Alaska busniess has not shown profit to the company for vars yc. We have always maintained good service with hope that our ef- forts to help the upbuilding of Alaska "nd it's industries would in future years nc with a reward of increased ibusi- ness and the friendship of the Alaska -eople, also under the circumstances We do feel that We have been treated very unfairly by being criticised and blamed for something for which We are entirely iblameless. ,

WATSON GIVES H|S OPINION IN
 MA|l SERVICE
Says Company Is Making Every Effort To Help
 The Territory

P Watson. General Claim Agent of the Pacific Steamship Company. "NA Admiral Line. who makes his gen 'ral headousrters in Tacoma. was a "assenger on the Admiral Farragut last evening making the round trip.
 Asked what he thought of the pro. ncsed legislation providing for the ter ritory of Alaska entering the steam shin business. Mir. Watson said: This company will not protest the proposed legislation for We would be accused of nnis-statements and various other erimes. whereas We are playing an hon est steamship game. We have every desire to build Up Alaska and all of her industries. knowing that We can have no success unless as We do as- sist. We have lost money on all our N"s'ra routes for several years and do "nt expects to make any money this ve"r notwithstanding the somewhat in "~oased rates.
 We have made repeated attempts to "harter Government vessels. but al. '~a~s found that it would mean very heavy loss to do so and if the terri '"rv goes into thesteamship business they want to be prepared to lose a good many thosand dollars each year
 Our cards are all on the table and if the people of Alaska wish to freeze out thc legitimate steamship companies there will still be cargo and passen. g@rs to carry in other trades"
 Or his return, Mir. Watson expects to stop over in Ketchikan for about a Weeks visit
 When the Post Office Department asked for bids on the Alaska Mail Con .' "'. the Steamship Comnanies fig "red as closely as they could and sub rnitted bids in which they offered to carry the mail for ..sactly the same revenue as they had ia the past, de- spite the tremendous increased cost Of operation. The Post Office De- "srtment resolved to discontinue giv- ing the people Of Alaska mail service under contract which made it impera- tive for the companies to make a stat cd number of deliveries per year as in the past and to send the mail by freieht instead. As a result of this aeoision. the people Of Alaska have sui frred great inconvenience and de lay. so they should place the blame where the blame belongs as it Is easi- ly within the power ofthe Post Office Dc-artment to remedy the situation. It ft3nds to reason that the Steamship Comp would gladly carry the F7e = they @lu do 20 without suffering loss as no individual or company is going 10 refuse any contract if it of- fers profit or even a chance to break even.
