' , . "Thau nnnrtttlnns are numeroua." said F. Durkhelmer, "but the chief ones are the combination freight rate en forced by the four nUamboat lines oper- . atina between Seattle and Alaaka, and the nearty sentiment prevalllnf among Alaska merchants favoring trade rela tions with Portland. yartland Is Superior. "Portland la also superior to Seattle ' In many ways In a commercial sense, and if her merchants would only make an aggressive fight, with the determina tion to stick to an adopted, outline campaign for a year, they wVil"?i only secure the trade, but would build wir Portland into a city far surpassing anything we have yet thought or. eai ' tie owes her present standing to the Alaska trade. We could take the trade from her. or at least per cent of It. There la buUone way to secure the trade and that le to put on a line of steamboats flrst-claas "team boats. Coming back fromAUska I made the trip on the- City of Seattle and found at places paaaengers refused to ride In her, preferring to wait several days for a better steamer. For. that reaaon ' Bay, put nothing but flrst-clasa vessels and put efficient men in charge of the business, t .. "In regard to the freight fate to Alas ka which the four llnea have put In force. I need only to say that a flat rate of t5 a ton prevails, with exceptional rates on many commodities, ranging from 10 to 200 per cent additional. Salt for Instance, carrlea an additional rate of 10 per cent That means the rate 's $77 a ton. There la no wonder that the merchants In Alaska demand 10 and 11 cents a pound for this neceeslty. Competition Za Barred. 'There la no escaping these rates. The four companies have adopted them uni formly and control the trade. They reat secure In that they have no fear of competition and ths Alaskans have to pay the price. Tl said that sentiment among the Alaska merchants favors Portland deal ers. I found this, true whereever I went My trip was not for business purposes and I did not transact any business while away. Whenever I had an opportunity to put In a good word for Portland merchanta I dlr so, not lone in my own line , of business, but - wherever I found a merchant of any branch dissatisfied . with- ths treatment hail received front Seattle. 1 found man of the meu and sJi of thence 3 nreened a desire lor fraae relations w - Portland.

'The present time Is unusually fav orable, to entering the field. Dissatis faction Is sure to result among ths Alaskans because of the Inability of Seattle merchanta to supply certain goods contracted for which cannot be aecured. Failure to deliver these goods will only result In a strong feeling against the Seattle merchanta and make the Alasksns all the more eager to have a competitive bidder in the field next year. The time is ripe for our advent Into the territory and I hope that action I will be taken soon." SAY WM TALK " . . IS UIIFOii) '. i ' i ' i i a.;;.
