MAKES SEATTLE OPULENT Enormous Traffic Practically Con ,, trolled by Sound City Port land to Aid. San Francisco, Sept. 23. San Francisco merchants havo declared war on tho jobbers of Seattle to re gain tho $15,000,000 a year business of Alaska. Tho campnlgn lias been oponed with tho authorization of a commltteo representing all tho big shipping firms affiliated with tho chamber of comniorco to negotlnto for tho establishment of a direct lino of steamers to Noma and tho squth oastorn points In tho territory. This action by tho merchants hero will probably stlmulato tho Portland merchants to niako an effort to es tablish n similar lino from that port. This would mean a friendly rivalry between tho nay and Rosa cities, for tho San Francisco merchants would wolcomo tho assistance of the Oregon people In their fight against tho Pu got sound port. When that Is accomplished a horde of commercial scouts will bo turned into tho northern territory to win away tho trado which tho Washing ton city has grabbed slnco tho dis covery of gold. It has btion agreed that tho run ning oxponsos of a steamer lino will bo guaranteed until tho California houses havo galnod a foothold. Tho principal dlfllcult In tho wny is tho fact that Seattlo moil havo all but bottlQd tho Alaskan trado, through tho purchaso of lulorosts In nearly nil tho big firms in tho territory. By means of this and shipping con tracts under which transportation companies grant rebates of ns much as 20 ppr cont, thoy havo compelled tho shipment of tho bulk of Alaskan business from Seattle'. But It has been demonstrated that thoro are enough independent firms to keep a San Francisco line busy, provided that the same rates are given. Captain John Barneson of the Barneson,-IIibbered Co., promises to do this. Barneson gave statistics showing that whore a few years ago San Fran cisco enjoyed practically a monopoly of Alaskan trade, Its business with tho northern territory has dwindled until It can claim but $1,000,000 of the $150,000,000 trado with Alaska a year. Captain Pierce of tho Pacific Coast Steamship company and Captain Rob ert Dollar of tho Dollar line and Cap tain Matson, who runs oil steamers north, corroborated Barneson in the claim that transcontinental freight can be shipped out of hero cheaper than it can from Seattlo.

Stuyvesant Fish camo to Oyster Bay today and was closeted with Secretary Loeb in tho executlvo office for n hour. He declined to ho Interviewed. Tho sec retary said Fish had given him a message to tho president, but de clined to divulge Its purport. DOPE FOR THE BOYS. When the steamer Plant sails out of the bay tomorrow there will be ono distinguished passenger aboard, namely, Dr. Woods, M. D. P. B. B. The gentleman has been in tho city for some time and during his stay here ho has made friends, who no doubt will b'e sorry to learn that he is departing for foreign climes. Ho is going far, far away to that little town of Milspitas. A Times' reporter was seen last evening by a delegation of his friends and wns asked to ex tend through tho columns of this paper their best wishes and success in his now home. The many friends and acquain tances of Mr. Robert McLay will bo glad to learn that he has accepted the position of first assistant engi neer of tho steamship Breakwater. Although born and raised on tho bay, this Is Mr. McLay's first visit hero since 18 01. Ho first began his ca reer at steamboating on Pony In let, on the famous old frigate Scor pion, long since wrecked on tho shores of Empire City. By strlck at tention to his duties he gradually roso from this humble position as cabin boy to tho office ho now holds. Mr. McLay tells of many blood curdling experiences on tho briny deep. He relates that on one occa sion he rescued a mosquito from a' watery grave, on the shoals of San Francisco bay near the present city of Alameda. To make a long story short the little creature was restored to life and Is now a large animal fllt Ing around the metropolis. Tho city council at Its meeting of Monday night voted to employ an extra policeman and tho appointment was left with Mayor Straw. The mayor has been Importuned by a number of parties who heard tho job was open, among these being Al Waterman, who believes ho knows what a policeman's duties are, and how to execute them. It was learned yosterdny from Mayor Straw that he Is not very favorably Impressed with Wntermnn's application, Tho coun cil wants a man who can handle a gun in a manner befitting the dig nity of the office, but it is said Waterman's ability along that lino Is qulto deficient, slnco ho has to im port men to demonstrate the power ' and accuracy of the ammunition he j sells. j TENNIS CLUB WILL DANCE OCTOBER 19th The Marshfield Tennis Club held: a meeting last evening at tho homo of Miss Genevieve Sengstacken for the purposo of arranging for tho fall party and to elect officers for the ensuing official year.
