P THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL PORTLAND, TUESDAY EVENING? JUNE 23, ltC3. 19 ,'4i SAYS SEATTLE IS R0D0IU6 ALASKA ' V: Government , Agent ' Thompson v Declares Portland Can Get Trade If City Makes Effort. ONE STEAMSHIP WOULD -MEAN MILLION A YEAR Alaskan Residents Eager to Trade Here If Tbey Can Havs" Goods ""-Transported,1 He Declares Seattle ! Spirit Has Angered People. " : "It Portland would wake up Md it into Alaska Idr-trade the result would he the greatest surprise of this city's whole career. It she would even start une steamship, that , would make sis trlpa during- the. seaaon, it - would be worth $1,600,000 to Portland." . '' This remarkable statement Is made by . R.. W. Thompson, a government agent at . Nome, who is visiting- In Portland. where be formerly resided.- m spears. of conditions, and Is a man of excel lent . reputation for veracity and food judgment. .He says tbe - talk of blt- terness - of feeling by Alaska people toward Seattle is not bait told, and that It will become fully apparent only when ' the merchants ot some other city come in with a steamship line and offer the . people of Alaska relief from the con ditions which they say are becoming well nigh Intolerable. But so long as ' thev tntiat dnnend An Seattle for mate nanoe and transportation they are forced to submit to the treatment they re- Alaskans Beta Bobbed. ' "The truth about conditions existing between Seattle and Alaska Cannot be stated In language too strong. It is as bad as words can express," he said, The people of Alaska are being robbed, abused and' held In contempt,, and Seat- tlo la steadily growing more haughty and unbearable. Surely, It is the pride that a-oes before -a fail. "Alaska people were a happy lot when It was reported that San Francisco was going" to put steamships Into the trade between that city and Nome. Then came news that Ban Francisco was aeacroyea and -the Alaska people were the'slncer est mourners. . They believed In San Francisco's Intentions, and had built their hopes that they were -to get relief from the intolerable methods of Seattle, i "As to Portland, the people o.fAlaska scarcely know It la on the map. They do not realixethat here, at the door of the Columbia river. Is a great city with the largest . wholesale stocks and cheapest produce prices on the Pacific coast, all of which might lust as well be utilised for the Alaska trade If Portland mar' chants- and capitalists, would bestir themselves and see the great opportunity. "Alaska .people use an Immense quantity of all commodities produced or sold In Portland.. They want only, the beat of everything. Tby do not ask any favors. They pay cash. Alaska is as rich In "mineral wealth as Oregon In material riches. Our people up there are ready to send back the gold coin for everything they buy from Portland. The trade of Alaska Is growing rapidly and the country Is becoming a better eustomer In. every sense- at the word. Alaska -has made Seattle. Should . the trade of the north be cut off there would be nothing left of that city but Its proud boasting. . ... -. ; Special Sleeper for Elks. ' On Saturday morning, -July." H. the O. R. A N.

TXB OBBDXT to oa, wu-aAMf raiK nus. i That a minstrel ls-the better-Tor an environment of . reckless and care-free living was clearly - demonstrated i last night when sailors from United States steamship Princeton gaye a delightful entertainment at the Empire ' theatre for the 'benefit of the Seamen's Insti tute. The jack tars of the little gun boat went, at the business like veterans. and succeeded in winning generous ap plause both In the Introductory portion of the entertainment and In the olio. which mads up the: second part. Admiral Goodrich, commander of the North Pacific squadron, sat in ons of the boxes with Captain Badger of the flagship Chicago, and Flag Lieutenant Sargent. In another were Commander Sherman of the United States steam ship Princeton, Lieutenants ..Fewel) and Mitchell and Ensign Caspar Goodrich. Tho opening chorus "Sailing, by the entire-company, served as an excellent Introduction, and received a vigorous encore. , N. Elchenbarger sang "I Won der If You .Miss Me" In appropriate manner. "Dear Old Girl, by J. H. Murray; "Nobody," by J. B. Love, and "The Widow." by R. P. McAdams. were received with enthusiasm on the part or me auaience, The olio was particularly good, each member of tbe company contributing to tnia part -or the entertainment the best thing tie could do. The Chicago quartet made a distinct hit. Scenes from a naval camp, showing the lackics boxing, romping, . playing .practical jokes and enjoying themselves gener ally, brought out rounds of applause. The aettlng-up drills and bayonet exer ctsea gave the people In- the theatre a glimpse at some of the sailors' real work. . . .; On the whole . the nerformanca waa highly creditable. and through ' It the Seamen's Institute was 'benefited to the extent of about 1300.

That Dr. Williams' Pink Pills will cure neuralgia there Is no room to doubt. So many severe oases of this painful dis ease have yielded to these pills that ths auferer who is prevented by prejudice from trying, the remedy deserves little sympathy.

"I waa confined, to bed for four weeks at one time and nothtng seemed to do me any good. I was under a physician's care for months. He pronounced my trouble neuralgia of the heart and pre scribed for me. Ths capsules he gave me relieved me for a time but the pain cam back again.. - - "Finally Dr. Williams' Pink .
