It is surely drawing a 1 , "herring acrpss the trail" for anybody to propose connecting Junean and southeastern Alaska with Port- land bv steamshiD lines.' Those who are conversant with the situation know that it is simply folly to ' talk of establishing steamship connection between Sksgwsy, Juneau, Sitka or any of the southeastern Alaska points with Portland. : : ; ; . ' '''"! ' .; ' , Portland is entitled to the bulk of traffic; originating in "Nome and that portion of Alaska adjacent thereto, and were we to get even one quarter of that, business we would be more then amply justified in ' any steps we might take to establish steamboat lines. This is the only part of the Alaska trade that we . ,' can in all common sense claim, i , . , , , . ; We Tiave no" business whatever, with Juneau or Skafcway'or-southeastern Alaska, a these porta axa all situated on inland waters and must be controlled through Seattle and the Sound cities.
