PROHIBITION IN
 ARGENTINA ALIVE
Government Opposing Dry Law But Official Recogni-
 ton Given Under Treaty.

BUENOS AIRES, Aug. 2S.-Presi- dent Irigoyen's administration has just announced through FinancG Min | ister Salaberry that he will oppose the prohibition bill recently intro duced into the Chamber of Deputies Nevertheless. an official move in favor of the restriction of the liquor traffic is seen in the terms of the reciprocal commercial travellers treaty recently agreed upon between United States Ambassador Stimson and the President
 This treaty, which will probably be drawn up and signed in Washing ton during Ambassador Stimson's s visit on leave, will provide for a single Federal license for American salesmen in Argentina, instead of a license for each province, but will exclude them from selling alcoholic beverages under it. The prohibitive clause was requested by President lrigoyen, it is learned It was ac cepted by the United States Govern ment notwithstanding the fact that no such clause appears in other com
 nercial travellers treaties negotiated oy the United States. The American policy for uniformity of treaties of his sort has been waived in favor )f Argentina. &
 Precedent Established
 Since alcoholic liquors can no longer be legally exported from the United States, American salesmen | naturally will not be affected by the ;lause but it's significance lies with | Argentina in that it establishes a precedent in the direction of prohibi
 tion. It is pointed out that if this
 treaty with the United States is
 ratified, other nations who may de sire also to negotiate a treaty with Argentina providing for a single Fed.
 eral salesman's license would, by virtue of this precedent, have to | accept similar clause against the
 sale of intoxicating liquors. Other wise their salesmen must continue | to pay separate license in each of | the IA provinces. These vary and run as high as thousand pesos. 1 While President Irigoyen is known
 to be strongly in sympathy with re-
 stricting the liquor traffic, it is said,
 he feels that Argentina is not yet
 ready for total prohibition. One en- tire province, Mendoza, thrlves upon
 fhe wine industry, and the use of | light native wines eSpacial1v in tho
 rural districts, is almost general.
 Prohibition Protested
 The introduction of the prohibition
 measure in Congress was followed by
 strong protest from the Mendoza wine growers. They were told by

TARIFF RAISES
 ARE INDICATED
 SAYS GOVERNOR
Freight and Passenger Rates to Alaska May Be Raised
 In Short Time.

That there is strong reliability
 of a raise in present freight ant passene ger tariffs between Alaska and
 Pacific ports, is the statement oi 1 Gov. Thomas Riggs, who was ac- quaintod with the movement dur ing his recent trip to the States i The amount of the raise and the
 date it will be put into effect, il made is as yet unknown.
 Gov Riggs stated that the Ter ritorial Shipping Board had taken the matter I'D with the United States 1 Shipping Board asking that careful consideration be given to the mat | ter He also said that at least Alaska tariffs would not be includ- ed in any blanket raise made for coastwise shipping, assurances to that effect already being received 1 by the Territorial Shiping Board. Alaska traffic, he stated, will re- ceive separate consideration and be dealt with apart from other sections According to the Governor, the fuel oil situation is giving the steamship companies considerable unoasiness and the outlook from this source alone indicates that their operation costs will be raised by more than $500,0OO. The Stand ard Oil will not place any new contracts for fuel oil supplies and it is probable that oil will cost the companies SL00 per barrel more than, it is costing them today. Many of the companies are already consid cring changing from oil to coal burning engines.
 Not Unexpected.
 Inquiries made toady at the Ad miral Line Offices in charge of J. H. Kline and at the office of the Alaska Steamship Company in charge of Willis E. Novel; failed to bring any more definite information about the proposed tariff raises. At l neither office had any official word | been received of the contemplated | raise. At both offices, however, it l was said that rumors of such a 1 raise were going the rounds and if it came it would not be unexpected | on account of raises in rail tariffs l and in coastwise shipping rates in | other parts of the country.
