ABOUT ALASKA
OCCURRENCES

Pete Peterson, a native Of Denmark,
was instantly killed a few days ago
on the railroad line on the portage
between Taku arm and Atlin lake. He
was a brakeman on the road, and fell
in front of the engine while switching.

Two Nenana hunters, while on a
trip in the Wood river district, pur
chased an old rifle made in the year

the weapon was purchased told the
men that his great grandfather had
given eight silver fox skins for it ID
Hudson Bay trader.
Two EskimOs were recently taken
from Coppermine to Herschel island
to be tried for the murder Of a woman
who was the wife of both men. It
is said that there are several cases of
polyandry existing among the Cana
dian Eskimos, but that it is not a sat
isfactory arrangement to the parties
concerned.
Gasboat mail service from October
between the towns of Petersburg,
WrangeIl and Ketchikan. This, it is
thought, will help the steamer service
between the points, as several of the
larger boats do not call at Wrangell
and Petersburg. The gasboat will
leave Petersburg, south-bound, every
Tuesday morning, and Ketchikan,
north-bound, every Thursday morning
The schooner Ruby, we'll known in
Alaska waters, where she operates to
the Kuskokwim river, recently arrived
at Seattle after an eventfuI voyage to
the west coast of South America.
While in Mexican waters the crew of
the boat went to the assistance of a
floating cannery that was on fire and
helped drag a safe containing $4,000
to the beach. The Ruby is loading at
Seattle and will sail for the Kusko-
kwim within a few days.

ton Transportation Company arrived
at Wrangell last week, after having

working for a time. The Canadian
customs officer turned them back from
there, and they started walking to-
ward Skagway. Marshal Tanner and
a couple of deputies met them at Gla-
cier and brought them to town. They
were placed in the federal jail at
Skagway, awaiting orders from the
commanding officer at the fort. The
men stole boat at Haines, with which
they crossed over to the Skagway side.

PACKERS
COMMENT ON
TRADE REPORT

WASHINGTON Aug 26.-Recon-
mendations for the establishment OF a
government monopoly in alb refrigerator
and livestock cars. made hy the Federal
Trade Commission today in a private
carline report" to President Wilson
brought the following comment from
Thos. r Wilson, Of Chicago. chairman
OF the Institute of American Meat
Packers: The packers are willing
submit the justice Of the Federal Trade
Commission demands in its report OF
private car lines to the common sense
Of the American public. After an ia
vestigation by men experienced in trans
portation questions the trade commits
sion presented a report Numerically op-
posed TO that handed down by the Inter
state Commerce Commission composed
Of men trained in railroad work. after a
six year study OF the question the Inter
state Commerce Commission reports
say. An important part of the interstate
comma rec of the country is trans porta-
ton in privately owned cars. It i in
the interest OF the owners. carriers anu
public that their operation should be
continued under such rules and resula-
ton as viii insure their efficient han,
ling without discrimination against an.
shipper or particular description OF
traffic. The system OF the use and sup
ply of private cars that now exists can
not be at once and radically changed
without serious consequences TO ship
pers. carriers and the public. There
are admittedly too few refrigerator cars.
Greater mileage of packer cars was pos
sible because a load was waiting for
every car SOS days year. Spread the
4
shippers over the entire country and
mileage will reduce with a consequent
increase in the cost Of meat foods or a
necessary reduction in live animal
prices 1t would seem that If real
solution is sought il might be found by
some agency building enough additional
cars to meet the deficiency. The packer
cannot buy more ANIMALS than he can
market q smeat ii cars are not avail
able his purchasing power is lesseneo-
If railroader the government should plan
TO ice the cars at the start such cars
probably could not be loaded the same
day because Of delays in switching. Thus
there would be a waste OF ice and time
and ii sim would be necessary 20 ice
again at the point of loading. Govern
ment operation of the railroads has not
been such as TO warrant the public loo--
ing with very great equanimity on the
suggestion that its food be handled by
the same or similar agency.
