Fred J. Parr, traffic manager of the
E. J. Dodge Steamship company, came
to Portland yesterday snd the first
thing he said was that Portland will
not get Alaska business until Portland
merchants send their traveling men
into ths Alaska territory.
"But I believe Portland can get prof
itable business from Alaska," said Mr-
Parr. -The Alaska merchants wiu ouy
of Portland. But they will not buy
purely on enthusiasm. They will want
to be sure that Portland has organised
to get the trade and will make the es
tablishing of trade relations persistent
snd permanent-
Mr. Parr confirmed the statement
contained In a letter be had written to
W. S. Smallwood, manager of the
Chamber of Commerce transportation
committee, that after the first trip the
St Helena would run between Seattle
and Nome Points next summer.
She will come Into Portland with
freight from California, May 17, and
will take freight offered for any of the
Bering sea porta of Alaska. There
after freight offered for these ports
will havo te be taken to Seattle by
small steam schooner. The St. Helens
will not come hack to Portland.
"This decision Is due to 'the fact that
Portland hasn't offered the freight."
said Mr. Parr.. "We wonM Ve glad to
come if the freight were here. With
guarantee of the freight we would un
doubtedly e able to arrange to have
the St. Helena eome to this port
"Bet I 4s not heliev under the nest

Advice
NE of thte six
biggest men in
the United States
told us that we could
o a. real service
by publishing; the
about corrupt
judges.'
This was . two
years ago; In the
February number of
Everybody's Macra-
zine appears the first
of a series of articles,
by C. P. Connolly,
entitled "Big Busi
ness and The Bench."
This is the out
come of that sug-
gestion. i
It will be de
nounced by many as
mucKraking. it is
muckraking. We
want you to know in
advance what kind
of muckraking it is.
. , -. f .
Mr. Connolly's in ve-
tigation shows that there
is incompetency cor-
justice, and that these
faults are undermining
the peoples respect for
their courts.
Wc want to respect judVes.
We hope that the publication
of the truth wfll lead to that
reform of the judidary which
isnecessary. ,7
The unjust judge should be.
drummed out of service. We
intend that some of them shall
be. 7, ' -"y
We mean to respect judges.
If you believe in this kind of
muckraking, lend a hand. We .
can't do anything alone.

If you pass by on the other
side, like the priest and the
Levite in the parable, -nothing ,
will come of this effort; but if
you read, and think, and dis
cuss, you will help hasterMhe
day of just and equal laws for
rich and poor.
We ilrmlj beliere that this
is the most 'important maga
zine contribution to good gor
ernment for years.
