Add these excessive rates to the higher rates on the government rail road, and you have the reason for the abandonment of their farms by the Matanuska farmers; you have a reason why no coal operator dares to take a lease on and prospect a coal mine in the Chickaloon field; and YOU have also, before you the beginning of the' same process ot strangulation on the government railroad which mas given the Alaska Syndicate its present autocratic con- trol over Alaska copper and the Bering river coal fields.
 The Alaska Syndicate has in cor porated its Alaskan activities under the corporate name of the kenne- colt Copper Corporation. That cor poratio owns and operates the Ken necott copper mines at the inland terminal of the Copper River X x. W. Ky, and 5 per cent of the capital stock of the Alaska Steam ship Co., Mr Stephen Birch is the president of the three companies, and the Guggenheims are in the directorate of each. Their Alaska Steamship Company commands the control of ocean rates to the ter minals of the government railroad at Seward and Anchorage and fixes the ocean rates which you collect on joint account by waybill from shippers over the railroad

ENOEAVOR WILL

 TO[OVANA TRAIL

At the meeting of the Nenana Commercial club, held at the club chambers in the Union Hall last night. the matter of opening the Happy trail from the Joyce Lake roadhOuse, (Dunbars) was again taken up and discussed at some length.
 None of the members had any fur ther data to submit or suggestions to offer in addition to those already brought before the club. The mem bers felt that large volume of the trade from the Tolovana camp will undoubtedly be diverted to Nenana if the Happy trail to Dunbars is opened up and put into shape for winter travel
 Nr. Browne, engineer in charge. had made the statement that train service to Dunbars would be estab- lished next winter. and the club felt that action should be taken imme- diatel to have the Happy trail opened up for winter travel
 On motion duly made and carried. the secretary was instructed to get into communication with Robert Sheldon. chairman of the Alaska Road commission, and request that 5000 be appropriated from the road fund to be used in marking and otherwise fixing up the Happy trail for travel next winter
 Secreary Joseph addressed the fol- lowing letter to Chairman Robert Sheldon, regarding the Happy trail:
 Nenana, April 26, 1919 Dear MT Sheldon:
 The above named club was dis cussing the Happy trail at their regular meeting last night. and in structed the secretary to write you regarding it.
 Of course there is no need to tell you anything about that trail from Fairbanks to Brooks. nor about the other from Olnes.
 Barring accidents to the appro- priation for the railroad construc- ton, We should have rail service between Nenana and Fairbanks this coming winter, which means that rails would connect Fairbanks and Nenana with the Happy trail at Joyce Lake or Dunbar's roadhouse.
 Would it not be to the advant- age of all concerned to spend prob ably s1,000 or so on the Happy trail from Joyce Lake to Brooks, Tagging it across the lakes, and do- iiS any otheE niHOT "OTh necessary
 "We are informed that flagging across the lakes is the most inn portant matter to make it a prac- ticable route for winter service.
 "Please advise what you think of this.
 Tn the matter of the kantishna road, I suppose everything will stay more or less up in the air until Congress does something definite, when no doubt Mr Browne will be able to make some plans along that line
 Yours truly,

WICKERSHAM LETTER TO SECRETARY LANE The Former Rob Shippers Over Road Owned By the United States
 Horse Ton At Fairbanks
CHAPTER THREE

AAEAA AAN
 The third instalment of former Delegate Wickersham's letter to Secretary of the snterior Lane. in which he pours fourth figures on Alaska freight rates, and alleges profiteering by express companies, with the assistance of the govern ment railroad, is as follows:
 Since April g. 1914, the White Pass Go. in conjunction with the Alaska Steamship Co.,, has had un- disputed control over freight rates on the Yukon and Panama rivers, while the Alaska Steamship Go. has exerted an equally undisputed con- trol over coastwise rates from Seattle to Seward and Anchorage. the Pacifict coast terminals of the government railroad. These two interests are so intimately associated in the control of rates as to be prac- tically one concern. The joint and several rates established and main tained by them on Alaska business, and in effect there ever since the government railroad was organized in March. 1914, are the most extor- tionate which afflict American trade, and bear particularly heavy on the people of Alaska.
 The American Railway Express Co.'S rates are also made on Alaska business in connection with those two transportation interests, and re- fleet their extortionate policy in transportation rates. Just a single instance will exhibit how the gov ernment railroad is used and con trolled by those combined interests. The American Railway Express Com pany charges a rate of g cents per pound, S25 per hundred. for ship ping matter over the government railroad from Seward to Anchorage, Alaska, distance of only 1l5 miles, rate of $500 per ton. The gove- ernment railroad carries that ex- press for the American Railway Elk press Cc., for s2.40 per hundred or s4S per ton, thus giving the express company a profit of s22.60 per hundred or s452.20 per ton for re- ceiving, forwarding and delivering at Anchorage. Why do you assist the express company in imposing such extortionate rate burdens on the shippers along the peoples rail road? If it is actually worth S25 per hundred to transport such ex- press matter, why does the govern ment do the actual work of trans porting for $2.40, and give the ex- cess profit of s22.5O to the express company?
 : Then, too, the charge of $40 per hundred imposed by the govern ment railroad is itself highly exces- sive, not to mention the heroic size of the express company's rate, for it costs but s1.54 per hundred to ship the same character of express matter from Washington, D. C., to New York City, a distance of FPS miles, twice the distance from Se- ward to Anchorage. At the Alaska rate per mile it ought to cost s4.S4 from Washington to New York, which shows that even the govern ment rate of $40 per hundred over the peoples railroad in Alaska is more than 200 per cent per mile than the Washington-New York rate
