M. Behren, of Juneau, who la one of the heaviest shippers la the mercantile business in Alaska. Proprietor of two large mercantile establishments at Ju neau and Bkagway ha annually pays la freight charges te steamship compa nies 110,000, aad thaVtonnage he rooctvoo through the port of Seattle la great. He la friendly to Portland, and would like te see business developed' between this elty and Alaska. s" . It is no use saying that Alaska mer chants love Portland more than any oth er elty. for auch la not the fact," he eald. "X will give you straight goods' about the Alaska situation aa to trade with Portland and other plaeea. Alaska, anaiy chants are ae cold-blooded aa yea are here In Portland. They want more than one elty to trade with, and they are ready to favor new etcemehlp llnea ea that basla - They would welcome Port land Unas, and would undoubtedly con tract for a large amounted shipping from this port. j , -"The way for Portland to de Is to go Into Alaska for a permanent trade prop osition, and the first thine neceesary is wharves. Send men to x acquire wharf property and" build-' docks.. Then follow op with . a : few ahlp loads Of fuel; get ths acquaintance and good will of ths people, -and open ap tha trade. Oo at it just ths same aa the propoaltlon would be attacked In any other direction. It will -pay. The suggestion of going after ths trade fur ther north, via the outside passage. Is a good one. Ths " southeastern "Alaska trade could be taken care of by side trips.. The" Paciflo Coast and Alaska steamship companiea have . adopted a policy of making Juneau the distribut ing point They bring large cargoes In there and leave the goods' to be distrib uted tox tributary H ports . by smaller boats." 1 . Mr. Behren said It was too late now te make a contract with him for this year's business. He came to Seattle and found himself confronted with the ne cessity of making contracts immediate ly or paying the open rates, which are exorbitant. A regular or contract ship per gets wharfage at 1 per ten. and the man who does not make a contract paya tt per ton. The regular freight rate from Seattle te Juneau la I a ton, but the contract ahlpper gets from I to If per cent off. according, to .etnouat .Of goods shipped....-": The result is that all permanent mer cantile bouses make yearly contracts. There are many merchants whs have not yet contracted, and oould be secured for thla yeare bualnaaa. .There la also a large amount of general shipping that la always open to new boats. , "My bualnaaa la not necessary to a Portland line, and one or two boats started this year could pick up plenty of business and eetabllsh a beginning, and a year from now be ready to eon tract for the next year's shipping. I do not believe the right wsy is to rush Into it expecting to carry off all the trade right away. The bualnaaa la there, and the merchants will trade with Portland If your merchants will do as well by them aa they can do elsewhere. - It 1 gene rally admitted sthat Portland has ths best wholesale market, and It fol lows that thla elty would gat a good share of the business. - . -. .. Portlaad Itagaraed as Slow. "Portland la regarded as slow, and that la the only thing against It. The merchants have promised things before. and tailed to get around to tb4 point ofj carrying out xoe promises, seams mar ehante ere wMe-ewake, and -are -watch lng Portland closely. They are keeping posted on everything that Is said and dona hare toward starting a ateamshlp Una . Seattle may be expected ta-try promptly to prevent any considerable she re ef the Alaska trade going to Port land, On the outside passage and the wevtern Alaska trade Portland's oppor tunity ta fully equal te that of Seattle." Mr. Behren said that la the trade with Seward paniasula, V aides. Kayak, Copper river polnta and Nome, Portland is on aa equal footing with Seattle,' and can easily com pete. 'For -the -southeastern Alaska trade, Portland - steamship lines could atsff com pate by - running ships lato Juneau and distributing from thai point with smaller boate. Mr. Behren arrived In Portland last evening from Seattle. He leavee tonight for San Francisco. Today hs conferred with Allen eV Lewis, Fl.lschn.r dt Mayer and other Portland wholesalers; and ths Alaska trade-situation Was fully die cussed. On bis return northward It Is expected he -will again stop ever - la Portland and meet the Alaska commit tee of the chamber of commerce. , SPOKANE CARPENTERS - TO GET MORE MONEY fspeelat Dlseeteh ta The JearnaLl ' JpokanaWash , .Tan 19 .Aftss April 16 the Spokane union earpeatore will get it cents an hour.
