There Is much dissatisfaction with Seattle methods arson v tba mer obsnts of A la As. 'Maby times I hava heard Alaska business men complain of treatment la Seattle, and especially crit icism of tha failure there to fill orders on time. Too often tha Alaska merchant receives a small part of his order by one boat and doaa not vet tha remainder un til - three or dour weeks afterward. t think that not only can Portland business man ao fa and Set their a ha re of tha buslne'ss they had years ao In Alaska, but thay can aat tha bulk of the new business that' la bound to oome from tha coal and oil- field that are being developed alone tha coaat from Sitka to tha mouth of -tba Cooper river.." In a latter to tha Portland Commer cial Hub, H. B. IjePevra, aeeretary of the Skaaway chamber of commerce. calls attention of Portland business men to some Important points which. In hla judgment, are being overlooked by Port land. Not only are many Portland merchants sending no rcprassntatlvea Into Alaaka trade territory, but there are conventions ooaanlonally that might be aseursd by this city, which would drfew Alaskans to Portland and aenualnt than with tha advantages of doing business here.
