Portland merchants woro first In tbo
Alaska field. Before any other city ta
the Pacific northwest was known ta tbo
lobbing trade, this city waa selling sup
plies and provisions at old Fort W ran
ge!, Juneau; Sitka and other potato.
There' were alwaya one or more boats
running ta this trade. In ltT and prior
to that time tho Pacific Coast company
waa operating tho Oregon; the Blder and
tbo Cottage City from Portland to Sitka
and Skagway. , When tho Klondike gold
dlaoovortoa were made and tho rush be
gan, tbo Sound oltloa fastened their ac
quisitive gaao apoa the far north and
determined anon a desperate effort to
displace Portland In that territory.
Seattle bad been nurturing a small but
growing Jobbing business which at thla
Mass waa Just big anougb to olt an and
take notion. The Seattle Jobbers saw
their great opportunity, and they took
full od vantage of tt Hundreds of
sheets of advertising appeared In tho
malls telling of Seattle as aa outfitting
point for tho north-bound prospector.
Thd st Miner llaea also eent out vaat
quantities -of matter.

RUMOR OF A SQUEEZE
Mortal More Probably tlie. Gane Than
tbe Hunter What tbe Seenrttla

Northwest -
' (SseeUl MsMteb a Tbe JearaaL)
Mew York, Oct tv One explanation
given of tho sudden rise la St Paul
stock yesterday 10 that Rockefeller and
Morgan Joined forces and gave Hani
man a hard equeese, Bill joining ta be
cause ho waa short on stock himself
and found that tt waa better to be ta
with tho squeesers than ths aquseaess.
Tho threat was made to withdraw tlut.-
000.000 from the banks temporarily to
upset Hani man loans and the bull mar
ket loft ao loophole of escape If tho
execution of the plan waa attempted.
Thla, tt la alleged, la tbo reason why a
definite agreement waa reached on the
whole tranaoonttaantal railroad situa
tion. Tbo weight of Rockefeller's hand baa
been growing heavier for a week and the
fictitious bull market save R added
strength." aaya thla authority."-4so when
R oamo to a question of unconditional
surrender tbsro waa only ono thing to
do and that waa to aoeept terms."
Aa apparently much more reasonable
explanation ta that this authority.
whether Intentionally or otherwise, boa
oi tha cart before tbo borae. There la
no, doubt, that through agreement tho
Union Pacific baa got rid of lta North
era PacMo holdings. There la toot aa
little doubt that tbo Wb Peal, a Roshs
feller road, perhaps la. conjunction with
the Missouri Pad no, a Ooutd road, baa
secured the oontrel of -the -Northern Pa
cific which forms a perfect Paoifle coast
outlet for 'the SW Paul. It ta likely
that If tho Union Pacific baa not se
cured the preponderating Influence la
the Burlington that lta destiny will be
controlled jointly by tbo Hani man and
Northern Psclflo Interests. There to ao
difference of opinion that the Hill and
Korean Intereste aao oonflned to tba
Oreat Northern,
It to well known that tho relations
botwoea Morgan and Rockefeller have
been strained for some time and R was
ths Interests of tho latter which forced
Morgan out of tbo steel trust ander elr
iii aiannw that were vary humiliating
to blah When It to remembered that
HU1 and Morgan havo Jointly controlled
the Oreat Northern and that they have
Jointly dominated Morthora Pacific and
at the same time that Haniman waa tbe
only Sua through whom the St Paul
could got a Pacific outlet and that hla
relatione wttb Rockefeller havo been har
monious. It Is quite owfdont that In what
ever aqaeealng naa been done Hilt and
Morgan ara mere likely to have besn
with tho mm aws thaa with . . tbo
oqueemra.
The Rockefeller band baa boea more
or less definitely apparent ta thla alt
uattoa for -boaso time- past and to a
targe degree tho outcome baa been dis
counted la weU Informed circles. That
the Hill and Morgan Interests havo been
forced to take what they aould get
there lo sow no reason ta eouos. any
mors than that there to roason to doubt
the preeent harmonious relatione be
tween tbe Rockefeller and Haniman In
terests, every resent move baa strength
ened tho Herri maa syndicate, the lat
est announcement coming officially from
tho Mooreo. being that Harrlman for "a
year or more" will havo Joint control
tn the Chisago Alton msnegsmeat
Tbo forcing of I F. Lores out of tho
preaidency of the Mock Island hi aa
othor evidence of the passing of Mor
gaa aa a groat railroad figure, for R
was through his Influence that Loree
