"It behooves the Jobbera and manu facturers of the city of Portland to get a lively move on themaelvea and hustle for Alaska business," said one of. the Jobbers who has been working' on the Alaska ateamahlp problem. "The steam ship' company that haa agreed to run a Una from Portland la responsible and roeana what It says. All the transpor tation company wants la tonnage.

"It ia not to be expected that a ateam ahlp company will take boats out of a profitable and established trade and put them into an experlmentai.tradeThey want the trade established to the extent that they know will be sufficient topay sinenses- from the start. It . must be either this or a guarantee of money suf ficient to cover the expenses and a email profit to the company. .It la better for Portland 'to' flrat establish the trade In Alaska,- and thle cen be done under -the .resent arrangements - and rates for transportation between Portland and the sound.

If Portland gets a square deal from the steamship uuiu eanlea It ia aald to be "a cinch" that thla city will aoon have Alaaka trade in volume aufflclent to warrant the ope ration of a regular Una of steamships from the Columbia river to -Alaska. The Seward Dally Gateway, dlacuea Ing the situation editorially, scoffs at the claim of Seattle newspspers that Alaska merchants muat pay IZ per ton more for goods bought In Portland than for ths same merchandlae purchased at Seattle. - Not an Alaska merchant haa ever been Interviewed who haa not un hesitatingly declared that Portland la the beat wholeaale market In the Paclflo northweet, and la the best place on the coast for AlasksTTnerchants to -vlsll..
