SHIPPING RATES
To BE DISCUSSED

The question or shipping rates
from Seattle and Tacoma TO Alaskan
points IL not a new one. just what
those rates arc ia actual practice Il
is difficult TO establish. The published
tariff schedules on file with the inter.
state commerce commission give the
impression that rates are anything
but exorhltant, Advioes from resi-
dents OF Alaska. who elite actual pay,
mcnts. indicate that the rates are
double what they should be consid
ering the distance involved.
The traffic is controlled by the
Pacific Steamship Co, and the Alaska
Steamship Co. In theory these are
competing lines Tho members OF
President Harding's party assured
Alaska residents that they would do
all they could to obtain better con.
ditlons. those who have studied tho
situation carefully do not believe
there Is now much hope that any
change in rates viii be effected, But
that wont keep the attempt from
being made-and a protest viii be
registered with congress In December.

~ PRINGFIELD, ILL.-The early
history of Illinois is always a
~ topic of interest because of To-
cation and the fact that the
northern part was settled from the
East and Egypt" from the South.
Much of the progress of early Illinois
may be traced to the influence of i'm
migrants from Tennessee who came
to this state to the number of 10000
In the early migration period, accord

State Historical society by Rev. Ed
ward B. Lands of Homewood, Ill.
"There were three migrations from
Tennessee into Illinois, extending
through the first half of the Nine
teenth century" says Mr.. Lands. "The
first was from about 1900 to 1925. This
migration was animated largely by the
commercial idea of cheap land, fer
tile country, an opportunity for a
home.
'sThe movement was not because Of
the slavery question, except in a minor
way, for slaves were hello by some in
Illinois from 1925 to 1924 or 1825-a
period of 100 years. 1t is to the credit
of the people, however, that in 1924,
when their first vote upon the subject
was taken, the soil of this great state
was to be known as free soil.
Following Immediately second MI
grafton from Tennessee began, which
was animated by a desire to be out Of
