Enough Business for Good Service al
 Lower Rates

our traffic study shows that there is enough Alaska business to give the Territory q splendid service at lower rates if that business can be properly o-ordinated so as to be economically handled. believe that very few of us realize. though. that more than 75 per cent. of the Alaska ship tonnage fig in private service This is one of the astounding items -which have been definitely established by the figures we have compiled. These private car riers are less expensive to operate. and usually take full cargoes. They serve only large concerns. owned by non- handle the great bulk of their traffic at lower cost than the independent lines, which must meet all the require ments of our navigation laws, and which give the Territory it's year-round service. besides taking care of the un. profitable traffic at out -the-way places.
 "The largest interests in the Ter ritory should not be denied the right to carry their traffic by the cheapest method, but they should contribute something to the common service of which they receive the benefit in many ways. The entire Territory is dependent upon the com. mon carriers for local year-round ser vice. for mail and express matter, for law enforcement. transportation of witnesses and jurors. provisions for medical relief, and all those necessities of life which benefit the larger inter- ests as well as the smaller operators. We would not deny the larger inter- ests the right to handle their traffic by the cheapest methods but on the other hand they ought not object to contrib uting something for the maintenance of the independent carriers.

In a public statement issued at Washington by Governor Riggs in March. the Alaska executive declared that a public owned Alaska steamship line is impossible and at the same time set forth the following ntegarding the proposal of the Territorial Shipping Board to improve present water trlns- portation service by taxing private owned shipping, which, as the gover- nor points out, represents practically 35 percent of Alaska ship tonnage. The statement says:
 The Alaska Territorial shipping Board has completed q most thorough nine months study of the Alaska traf- ffc situation. We have assembled data showing the number of passen- in Alaska in each direction during every month of 1918 and 1919: also the costs of operation. going into care iul detail on such subjects as mar inc insurance. fuel oil, wages, de- murraGe. and every othrr factor. We nave studied the routing of ships, handling of careoes and other details and have presented the United States Shipping Board inWashington state- ment which they congratulate us upon as the most complete and explicit ever submitted
 ''The statement Was prepared un- der the direction of Maurice D. Id7hey. as special counsel and R. NJ. Scnnnets, as traffic advisor. both of whom have had intimate knowledge of the territory for twenty years. Mir. Semmes is q steamship man of lifelong practical experience. especially famil- far with the Alaska situation.
 Tt is utterly impossible at this time tu secure any authority from Congress for Il Territorial steamship line on ac- count of the opposition to public own- citship, as evidenced by the vote on the railroad bill Even the labor un- ions, which favor the government own ership of railroads. are opposed to the public ownership of ships.

 ing almost the entire revenue which supports the common carriers have n ;ither the time nor money to journey to Washington to sustain complaints. No information can he compiled It present by any complainant which would enable proper presentation of q cause however just. We seek only such control of transportation facili.. ties by fair means in no way conflict ing with any national body. and always subject to review by the United States Shipping Board. think it is only fair that the people of the Territory who alone pay the bills should be per- mitted to handle their own problems This bill will enable them to do so . It is not a novelty. We would simply increase the present license tax. make all vessels of more than twenty tons pay it. those engaged in handling pri- vate shipments as well as common carriers. and then assist those lines which have no special interests to serve to give the Territory satisfactory regular service on the same plan that Canada has successfully used for 20 years right in our own Alaska waters"

to the common carri~s engaged in local business for hire. Our bill in creases this to three dollars and ap :. plies it to every ship of more than twenty tons. This revenue is to be placed in the maritime fund. and used for the improvement of Alaska trans. portation conditions. The plan for It's disbursement it the same which the Canadiaps have successfully used for twenty years in our Alaskan wa ters. and that is by givinp contracts to common carriers to maintain service by definite schedule at fixed rates on specified routes. In this way con- tracts can be given by the Territorial Shipping Board for regular service upon routes which are otherwise un- profitable. and can adjust the service on a more economical basis. Many of the smaller places can best be serv- ed by encouraging local boats from the larger towns in Alaska, and this in turn will keep the big passenger lines On the regular routes where they can maintain a definite schedule. In this way we can secure the same splendid service to all the principal towns in Alaska that the Cana dian lines have bsen giving to the four principal towns of Southeastern Ala ska.

Would Aid Local Lines

We can help build up local ser vice out of the large towns to smaller places. but of course certain other routes which are now improbable must be provided with dir ,ct service from the Outside. This fund in the Territorial Shipping Board will pro- vide the most effective control of the situation. It will enable Us to keep the best ships on the regular routes. giving dependable service. It will re . duce the costs, such as demurrage and marine insurance. because the best ships will be kept out of the most dan- gerous waters where most of the mar inc losses occur. Insurance rates now average fifteen per cent. and one Am crican line now pays nearly one mil lion dollars in premiums each year.

"l SIMPLY FEEL LIKE A NEW MAN." HE SAYS AFTER
 TAKING TANlAc.

T have often seen the time I would
 hove gladly given everything possess
 for the relief n few bottles of this Tan lac has gfven me-" said Robert Me- Aloney, well known contractor, liv-
 ing at B York street, Halifax, in a
 statement while at Kinley's recently -Four bottles of Tanlac has not only
 relieved me entirely of a case of stom- ach troubl that had made life miser- able for me for more than five years '' he continued. but have actually gained twenty five pounds in weight.
 besides. I am not exagerating bit when I say am feeling better now than ] have In twenty years. Why, I was telling one of my friends the other day that I am feeling like a sixteen year old boy again. The way I have been built up and strengthened has really astonished me.
 "I had been suffering. as I said, from stomach trouble and q run down condition for more than five years and until Tanlac came along was never able to find anything to help me. My stomach just seemed to be upset all the time. Nothing tasted right or agreed with me and I simply had to force down what little I did eat. My stomach would get as sour as vinegar after meals and I would bloat up with gas and feel miserable for hours. There were sharp. cramping pains all through my stomach and the gas would press on my heart so at times could hardly breathe.
 After going to bed at night this gas would bother me so couldn't rest. Many a night have gotten out of bed and walked the floor never getting a wink of sleep. I have had to lay off from work for weeks at time just suffering agony with my stomach, and had lost all of thirty pounds in weight. I would wake up in the mornings feel ing so tired and no account that it was ] an effort for me to get out of bed. | was habitually constipated and hod q dull. nagging headache nearly al, the time. had suffered so much .,al so long that I had about reached the point where I didn't care whether lived or not.
 But feel altogether. different since Tanlac has sti-liglrtened me out and built me up so wonderfully. Before had finished my first bottle there was a decided improvement in my condi-
 tion. am eating three good. square meals day and my stomach never gives me the least trouble. I don't believe I have evar enjoyed my meals msre and I can eat just anything set before me. have been relieved of constipation and headache and that tired. worn out feeling has left me, too can sleep like a log every night and get up in the mornings ready for a heahty breakfast and good days work. tell you simply feel like a new man and am glad to give this sta teAnent to be used in letting others know what 1t is that restored my hea1th."

A Washington special to the Seattle Times says that Delegate George Grigsby invited King Albert to visit Alaska and see Mount Mckinley and other interesting and wounderful scen- ic aghts. Delegate Grigsby suggested to the king that Alaska's climate was lots better than reported and that a tHp to the territory would disillusion the king. who incidentally could visit Anerica's last territory and get ac- quminted with the ''sourdoughs.
 King Albert andlinsly thanked Dele. gate Grdgsby and said that Alaska was unfortunately not included in his itin- erary but that a visit to the territory was a pleasure deferred.
