Four Commercial Organiza
tions Work Jointly for.
That Purpose.
WILL CANVASS MERCHANTS
It Is Proposed to Begin- With One
Steamship Running Out of the
Portland Harbor and to
Add Others Later.
COMMITTEES GET TO WORK.
The following: are the committees of
the four commercial organlrations of
Portland which conferred yesterday
morning on the establishment of a
steamship line to Alaska, and which
will canvass the city Saturday to
ascertain whether the merchants and
shippers are willing: to guarantee the
steamship company a certain amount
for the first year:
George Lawrence. Fletcher Linn. A.
H, Dcvere, Manufacturers Associa
tion: T. Vr. 33. London. W. B. Glance,
Commercial Club: Sol Blumauer,
George Lawrence. R. S. Parrel. Cham
ber of Commerce; J. H. Page, David
Brown and Wallis Nash, of the Board
of Trade.
From the present indications it looks
very much as though the recent agita
tion for the establishment of a steam
snip line between Portland and Alas
kan points will materialize into some
thing definite. Four commercial or
zanizations of Portland, the Chamber
of Commerce, Commercial Club, the
Manufacturers' Association and the
Board of Trade have put their shoul
ders to the wheel and are working for
a. common purpose to secure for this
city . part of the enormous Alaskan
trade.
Representative committees from each
of , the four commercial organizations
met yesterday morning In the parlors
at the Commercial Club, and a plan of
campaign was mapped out to induce
the merchants and other business men
of this city to guarantee sufficient ton
nage or passengers for one or more
steamships, should the line be estab
lished. Options on Three Steamships.
As has been published, the Board of
Trade has options on three suitable
vessels, two of which are new. Satur
day the members of the four committees
which took part in the conference of
yesterday morning and which have
been amalgamated Into one general
committee, will makft a thorough can
vass of the merchants of Portland, and
ascertain whether they are willing to
share the responsibility of closing the
options.
The conference of yesterday morning
"was .characterized by a universal senti
ment In favor of the line. There was
not one dissenting factor, and in fact
all present seemed very enthusiastic
over the matter as it now stands.
Outlines the Proposition.
When the conference began President
"Wallis Nash, of the Board of Trade,
was elected chairman. JJ.e thereupon
gave a complete outline of the proposi
tions which had been made by the
steamship companies. He said options
liad been secured on three steamships,
of tonnage over 2030 tons each anj
capablo of carrying more than 200 pas
sengers. He said Portland would have to
guarantee the owners of the ships a
certain amount for the first year, and
that they would continue on the line
two years more under contract without
guarantee. In the case of one vessel he
said the round trip could be made In
20 days, and by two ships within, ten
days.
General Discussion Begins.
Then the general discussion began. It
was finally decided that it would be ad
visable to start with one steamship, in
asmuch as other vessels could be se
cured If the trade justified increased
transportation facilities. The contract
provides that the company must put on
another vessel in case only one is
taken at first upon a 100-day notice at
any time the agreement is in force.
It was stated at the conference that
the Harrixnan interests were friendly
to the enterprise. The matter lias been
taken up with some of the high offi
cials of the Harriman lines to ascer
tain whether they would lend their as
sistance. A resolution was passed forming the
PORTLAND AND
The Joint meeting held yesterday morn
ing between representatives of the four
leading commercial bodies of this city
bids fair to start Portland in the race
for Alaskan trade with every reasonable
prospect of winning out. Three ideas
were suggested. The first, that Portland
should purchase and own steamships for
this "business. This was dismissed as pre
mature, to say the least, and as involving
wearisome delay. The second, that ships
should be chartered by Portland people
and run by them, and at their risk. This
was set aside for the sufficient reason
that no suitable ships could be had on
the Pacific Coast, and none secured from
the East in any reasonable time. The
third, that ships should be obtained which
were" available for this run now, and by
which a permanent line could be estab
lished for at least three years.
On this head two propositions had been
obtained by the Board of Trade, each of
which put one or two steamships at the
disposal of Portland merchants and ship
pers for three years, a minimum of re
turns to be guaranteed for the first year.
All rates for fares and freights to be ad
Justed to competitve rates from other
Pacific Coast ports. Each of the ships
To provide for a large number of passen
gers and for 000 tons of freight all serv
Ico to be first-class in its nature, and
the steamships to have a sea speed of not
less than 12 knots an hour.
Details of this plan will have to be
worked out, but as a whole, and in gen
eral terms, it received unanimous sup
port of the constituent committees. To
ascertain how much support can be relied
on, the general committee divided itself
up into subcommittees of two each. By
these gentlemen a systematic canvass
will bo made of the city on Saturday
next, the business section being districted
for that purpose.
An adjourned committee meeting on
Tuesday next will receive and tabulate
results.
Long talked of. Indefinitely discussed,
the entry of Portland Into the Alaskan
trade Is now before the city on a1 plain,
comprehensive basis. Guarantees will
take- the form of money but they may
be discharged at the end ef each trip in
representatives from the four organi
zations into one general committee.
Tliia in turn was divided Into, sub-committees
of two members each, which
will make a full canvass of the busi
ness men and shippers of this city on
Saturday, to find out the amount of
money, freight or fares they will guar
antee the vessel for one year. The re
sults will bo reported at an adjourned
meeting to be held Tuesday afternoon
at S o'clock. The report of the sub
cpmmlttees will undoubtedly decide the
fate of thiB particular enterprise. In
the meanwhile President Nash ha
wired the steamship owners to hold
their offers open until the result of the
canvass can be ascertained.
As an example of the immense pro
portions the Alaska trade lias as
sumed, a report was submitted at the
conference showing that the aggrogatc
of Seattle's business with Alaska last
year amounted to $11,700,000. The
Chamber of Commerce yesterday after
noon also received a report from the
customs officials at Skagway which
showed that domestic merchandise Im
ports for 1905 were greater than those
of 1904 by $3,707,225, and that year In
turn exceeded 1903 bv $2,032,792.
HERE TO BUILD BRIDGE
Ernest Xlckerson. "Will Attend lo
Spanning: Willamette.
Ernest Xlckerson. who is to be resident
engineer in charge of the construction of
the bridge across the Willamette io be
constructed by the Portland & Seattle
STEAMER DALLES
Railway. Company, has arrived In Port
land and has taken up his residence at
the Hobart-Curtl8. Mr. Xlckerson has
helped direct the construction of some of
the most modern bridges of .the country.
His work has principally been on railroad
structures.
Because of the depth required to reach
a Bolid foundation. Mr. Xlckerson expects
the construction of. the Willamette bridge
will be difficult. To be sure that a solid
foundation is reached, the railroad com
pany will do the work of caisson-sinking
itself, although the other work will be
let to contractors. As j-et no bids have
been asked, and will not be until permis
sion is given for the building of the bridge
by the Port of Portland. Eighteen months
will be required for the construction of
the bridge.
Mr. Xlckerson favors a swing draw
bridge rather than the lift type, as he
says the latter is constantly getting out
of order, and the swing draw requires
much less machinery for operation.
Mr. Xickerson's home Is in Boston. He
has recently been engaged on bridge work
for the Atchison. Topeka &. Santa Fe.
He has Just completed the rebuilding of
the Bismarck (X. D.) bridge across tile
Missouri River. He worked with En
gineer Ralph Modjeski on the Thebes
bridge at St- Louis, a double-track rail
road structure, used jointly by the Illi
nois Central, Frisco and Cotton Bolt sys.

money, freights or fares. And the ulti
mate deficit on each trip will be ascer
tained after all fares and freights, wheth
er provided by guarantors or by outsiders,
have been brought into account.
The total of Seattle's business with
Alaska last year in freights and fares,
excluding gold dust and bullion, is
given at Jll,70U,t)00. How much Port
land contributed toward this sum can
not be known, for all went to the
credit of Seattle.
The annual report of the Secretary of
Commerce and Labor for 1905 gives the
following most suggestive figures:
Merchandise from Alaska $10,S01,44P, of
which JS.381,466 was canned salmon,
$494,764 furs and fur skins, and 5440.
488 copper ore. Of gold produced In
Alaska there was shipped to the United
States -,O39.023 and also J10.723.S33 In
gold produced In adjacent territory but
sent into Alaska for shipment to the
United States.
The establishment of the Portland
Alaska Steamship line, and its support
by Oregon, will assuredly bring in Its
train the starting of the smelter at
Portland, and also will lead the way
for an assay olllcc of the United States
here.
It is understood that no pledge Is
asked from the merchants binding
them to details of the proposed con
tract with the steamship Owners. What
is wanted if a plain answer to this
question how much are you Interest
ed :n tjo opening of this line and how
much will you bind yourself to provide,
cither in money or in freight at cur
rent rates, or in passenger fares, for
each trip of the steamship for one
year? There will be 18 trips In- the
year. After that year is over the steam
ship Is to go on for two years more
without any guarantee. If the busi
ness extends as Is fairly to be expect
ed the same shipowners bind them
selves to furnish a sTstcr ship to the
first on 100 days' notice. The commit
tees will call on Saturday on the mer
chants. A favorable response means
the establishment of the line.
The active support of the Harriman
system, both for passengers und
freight is to bo relied on for the open
ing of the nev route.

It was only In this way that Mr. "White
