great need la this direction la for man
with capital and Steamship experience.
Tha difference ta dlataaca to Alaska
between Portland and the sound eittao la
a be retells, ha saya, and euts no Agure
M tha real -question. ' This la proven
by tha fact that flan Francisco, several
hundred ' miles further than Portland
from Ala km. maintains aad lncreaaea
the Alaska trade of bar merchants by

between Ban Francisco and June a.

my Judgment auch aa enterprtsa aould
be- marie profitable both for tha aallraad

Ma Ok saail ta tba Way. -,
I as do obstacle In tba way of auo
cbss for Portland business man ta the
Alaska trade; it to lust a question of
ln after It riant," said A. A. Moras,
eentractlna; assent for tha O. R. dt N.
company. "While tba dlatanea by the
inelde route la sllhUy further than It
to from Seattle or Victoria, there la
practically no difference by tha outatde
route across Georgian bar, Tha whole
Alaska field hi open today td Portland,
and It Is a rich one. and la arowlna; bet
ter all tha time.
"Mr Morse Is a old timer ta tha
frelirht bualneaa In tba Pacific north
west. He has bad ehsrga of the (X R. aV
N. bualneas la this Una many years, and
has dose business with Alaska mer
ahanta. He says: - .
' "While some think that It will be dif
ficult for Portland t ajo ta a this tlms
and get'trad In Alaska, I differ with
them. 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. Tba order known aa tha Grand
Camp of ths Arctic Brotherhood will
hold a three days session at Seattle, be
ginning November 1. Ha-says there are
enough membera of tha order ta Port
land, If tbsy would exert their efforts.
to secure tba convention for thle city
