1 boat operation and claims that it's Der
 ing sea operations last year resulted.
 in a net loss.
 The message is in response to tele-
 grams sent by the Nome Chamber of Commerce to both the Pacific and Ala
 ska steamship companies in an en- deavor to secure a reduction in traffic
 rates during the coming open season. The local commercial body has labor- ed heroically to secure some form of
 relief from the High charges of last summer. Representations have been
 made to the companies showing that
 the rates last year were prohibitive to
 mining and seriously threatened the stability of the fishing and other in- dustrles Efforts have also been made
 to enlist the concerted action of other Alaska commercial bodies, whose in- terests are equally affected by the en- ormous freight charges instituted last year. The companies, however, do not appear to see things in the same light. By imposing an additional dollar this summer freight charges from Seattle to Nome will be $23,5O per ton in car- load lots and $2S,5O in lesser quantities Adding the lighterage cost of 50 cents
 per ton, the freight charges on goods shipped in carload lots will amount to signments less than carload weight | will be taxed $29 The telegram an- nouncing this latest addition to the |already heavy transportation burdens borne by the community reads as fol- lows:

SEATTLE, March 20, 19

Yours 1Sth.: The cost of operating steamers to Alaska continually in- creased during last season after our rates were announced. Our Boring Sea operations resulted in net loss for the year. This condition impels us to raise our last seasons freight rates one dollar per ton. This in- crease is no greater than to Alaska ports nearest Seattle.
 We appreciate all you say and wish we might meet your views. On the the other hand, we hope you will ap- preciate that the high costs of com- modities now embarrassing the miners likewise affects us and that we must secure additional revenue or seriously consider diverting our boats to other traces where our losses will be less. Signed: Pacific Steamship Co
 The results obtained from their ef- forts to secure a reduction in the ship ming tolls by direct appeal to the tram portation companies are q severe dis appointment to the Cha mber of Com merce officials. The addition of an- other dollar to the hugely inflated rates charged last year is another ser- ious blow to local industry. A dol lar is not much in momentary sense. but in the present case the contempla- ted additional charge will come on top of prior increases which have raised normal freight rates over two hundred percent above those obtaining in earl fer years.
 Chamber of Commerce officials say, however, that hey do not intend to forego their campaign to secure q change and several are advocating an effort to secure an independent steam ship to handle Nome traffic. Judging by the evidences at hand, this appears to be about the only avenue by which a change may be secured.

FINE TOBACCO PATCH

ESQUIRE Leslie Combs, who lives
south of town. has one of the best
fields of tobacco that it has been
our pleasure to see this season, He
has in all about ten acres in one
field and his plants are OF such ey-
euness as to give the impression
that one is looking over level
floor of black-green. The tobacco
has been cultivated intensely and
shows the effect Of good farming.
Mr.. Combs estimates that the field
will average over eighteen hundred
pounds to the acre. He Is cutting
and housing the weed this week.
The, uniform size of the stalks and
the broad heavy leaves impressed
US as marking it as the best grade
OF dark tobacco. Probably there
are as good crops in the county
as this one but SO far we have not
seen one.

TOBACCO MUCH BETTER
THAN FIRST EXPECTED
Weed Has COme Out Wonder
fully Since July and VIII
Exceed 1918 Crop

Tobacco growers are enthusiast
tic over the improvement which
has been shown in tobacco here
during the last month, and especi-
ally snce the fine rain of couple
OF weeks ago. Farmers now pre-
not only exceed last years crop in
dict that the crop this year will
size, but will also be of better
quality.
1t was at first feared that the
recent rain would damage the COL
or of the tobacco, but it does not
seem to have been sufficient TO
cause the dark, green second
growth which farmers feared The
weed was on the other hand won
derfully improved in color and was
given further weight.
Cutting is becoming rather gem
eral throughout the country at
present, but most farmers will not
start cutting until next month.
Farmers around Curdsville, Sor-
gho and along the Henderson road
are beginning to cut. The tobacco
has suffered more in that section OF
the county than elsewhere. In ths
eastern part of the county the crop
Is in splendid condition while Han
cock county is said to have fully
as good a crop this year as has
Daviess county, which is rather ur-
usual.
Farmers and tobacco men are
beginning to speculate on what the
price of tobacco will be when the
, local market opens. The general
opinion seems to be that the prices
for the better grade of tobacco will
be as high. if not higher, than they
were last year and that the price
OF poor and medium grades will be
off. "
This opinion is borne out by re-
ports from ting North and South
Carolina markets. Good ! tobacco

last season. Poor and medium
grades have, however. undergone
a decided slump being down, it Is
said. about $40 on the husdred'
Prices in the North Carolina mar
ket are usually taken as an indica'
ton of what prices may be here, as
when the prices are high there the
tobacco buyers usually buy heavier
in this section to substitute for th'
Carolina weed.

are now in North Carolina. Amonl
