public ownership" said Governor Riggs recently, in discussing the plans of the Territorial Shipping board, of which he is chairman, Git is impossible at this time to secure any authorty from Congress for the establishment of territorial steam ship line. This is evident by the vote on the railroad bill and the fact that even labor unions which favor government ownership of rail- roads oppose government ownership of steamships.
 "Our traffic study shows there is enough Alaska business to give the Territory a splendid service at low CT rates, if that business can be properly co-ordinated so as to be economically handled.
 "I believe very few of us re- alize that more than 75 percent of the Alaska ship tonnage is in private service. This is one of the astounding items which have been definitely established by the figures we have compiled. Those private carriers are less expensive to oper- ate and usually take full cargoes.
 "They serve only large concerns, owned by non-residents, who are thus enabled to handle the great bulk of their traffic at lower cost than the independent lines, which must meet all the requirements of our navigation laws and which give the Territory it's year-around serv- ice, besides taking care of the un- profitable traffic at out-of- -the-way places.
 "The largest interests in the Ter. ritory should not be denied the right to carry their traffic by the cheap est method, but they should con tribute something to the common service of which they receive the benefit in many ways.
 "The entire Territory is depend lent on the carriers for local year around service, for mail and ex press matter, for law enforcement transportation of witnesses ant jurors, provision for medical relief and all those necessities of lift which benefit the larger interests as we'll as the smaller operators.
 "The present annual license tax on ships is one dollar per net regis tered ton, but it applies only te the common carrier, engaged ir local business for hire. Our bil increases this to three dollars anc
The Nenana daily news., 1920-03-27

applies it to every ship of more than twenty tons.
 "This revenue is to be placed in a maritime fund, and used only for the improvement of Alaska trans portation conditions. The plan for it's distribution is the same which the Canadians have successfully used for twenty years in our Alas kan waters, and that is by giving contracts to common carriers to maintain service on definite schedule at fixed rates on specified routes. In this way contracts can be given by the Territorial Ship ping, board for a regular service on routes which are otherwise un- profitable, and can adjust the serv- ice on more economical basis ] Many of these small places can best be served by encouraging local boats from the larger towns in Alaska. and this in turn will keep the best passenger liners on the regular routes, where they can maintain a definite schedule. In this way we can secure the same service to all the principal towns in Alaska that the Canadian lines have been giving to the four prin- cipal towns in Southeast Alaska.
 "We can build up a local service out of the large towns to smaller places, but, of course, certain other routes which are now unprofitable must be provided with direct serv- ice from the Outside.
 ''This fund in the hands of the Territorial Shipping board would provide the most effectual control of the situation. It would reduce costs, such as demurrage and ma rine insurance, because the best . ships will be kept out of the most dangerous waters, where most of the marine losses occur. Insurance 7 rates now average 15 percent, and
 one American line now pays nearly
 one million dollars in premiums each , year
 q am confident that by this : means we shall stabilize conditions l so that common carriers and the . postoffice department will get to,
 gether and give Alaska adequata mail service, instead of treating the United States mail as freight, with no obligation on the part of the
 carrier to maintain routes or regu lar service. 'I think it is only fair that the . people of the Territory, who alone , pay the bills, should be permitted
 to handle their own problems. This bill will enable them to do so Il
 is not a novelty" :=..... Craer On;ops and yetturc at Shs

FIRE CAUSES $4,000.
LOSS
BANK BARN OF CLYDE DORSEY Destroy
ED BY SMALL INSURANCE.


A disastrous fire of unknown origin.
swept every outbuilding from the fine
farm Of Clyde Dorsey, in Berrett dis
trict, Wednesday afternoon. The wind
carried the sparks away from the
house and this was the only building
saved. The fire started in the bar
rack, in which was stored about 250
bushels OF unfhreshed wheat Hay
and other crops in the barns and all
the farming implements, wagons, etc.
were destroyed
The stock was in pasture. The loss is
a severe one to Mr. Dorsey, probably
amounting to $4,000, with an fnsdr-
ance of less than $4,000 The farm was
operated by Russell Grimes, who lived
on the place. He was absent at work
at a neighbor's when the fire was dis
covered. No men were about the place
when the FIRE broke out. Neighbors
responded quickly to telephone calls
and soon.75 willing men We're on the
scene, but could do nothing except
guard the house. The fire was dis
covered by Mrs. Grimes, who was at
work in the house. There is no way
of accounting for the fire except on
the theory Of spontaneous combus-

James Douglas, New York city, ana
was marked shipped from "A. Al. 4ie-
turn, 105 Harper street, Detroit,

The body was taken Co the morgue,
where physicians declared the knife
wound showed it to have been a
ripper murder This opinion was
also expressed by the police! There
were no Identifying marks upon the
body The woman was apparently
about 80 years old, and two upper
teeth protruded from the upper left
jaw.

in the trunk. There were marks
showing an effort had been made to
hack the body to pieces, Norris said,
and added that something must have
interfered with the murderer in his
work, ais the limbs were still intact
when the body was found.
Norris declared the examination
was hampered by the absence Of the
vital organs He said there was no
way of determining whether the wo-
man had been poisoned before being
put into the trunk.
DR.. Norris declared the appearance
of the wounds on the body tended to
indicate the murderer had used a
long, sharp instrument, probably a
sword
Police were working on the theory
that the crime had been committed
by degenerate or a manic.
The womans teeth We're in very
good condition She had blue eyes. and
was good looking Her nose was
