Bottom Alaska-Pacific plant at Teg Bay.
B. Stetson at dock.
"Get behind it." '
This is the terse and forceful ad
vice of C. A. Burckhart. president of
the Alaska Pacific-- Fisheries company,
to the merchants and people of Port
land in respect to the Portland-Alaska
steamship line.
The opportunity is there, and It Is
golden. Alaskans like Portland and
are willing to trade with her. Alas
kans are entirely In sympathy with
Portland In her venture. Get behind
the line. Show the people of Alaska
that you are wholly in earnest about
the proposition and It will be an un
qualified success."
This is the way Mr. Burckhart sizes
up the 'situation. He is in Portland
for a few days, called home from his
canneries at Yes Bay and Chomly by
the Illness of his mother. Just pre
vious to returning to Portland he vis
lted Ketchikan, Wrangel, Petersburg,
Douglas, Juneau and Haines.
"Everywhere I went," he said yes
terday, "1 found the people most en
thusiastic over the Portland line. But
they all fear Portland Is not sincere.
Portland fell down on them onca be
fore. Now they want to be shown.
They want some assurance that the
line is to be permanent. If this Could
be given them the volume of busi
ness would be materially Increased
and the line would be a positive suc
cess. "To give them this assurance all
the merchants, all the people qf
Portland must get behind the line.
Show the Alaskans that you are In
earnest with a big business proposi
tion. Cven now the tonnage of the
Portland boats is greater than any of
the Individual boats running out of
Puget Sound and It must not be for
gotten that trade conditions In Alas
ka at the present time are comparable
to those In the rest of the oountry
"The merchants- of Portland need to
send more-men to Alaska to solicit
the - Alaskan's trade, and they should
take care to send only men who are
familiar with the Alaskan trade. With
the Alaskan people full of sympathy
for Portland salesmen knowing condi
tions there they oannot fall to get
business. In fact, they should get all
the tonnage the boats can handle.
. 'The Alaskan people are satisfied
with the service but greater care
should be exercised in the packing.
There was some complaint about this
at first and as the freight rata is the
same on either high grade or low
grade stuff, the greatest care should
be used, for invariably the Alaskan
buys for' himself the best there Is,
and, of -course, he wants to receive It
in good shape. Fack your goods a
little better than the other fellow
and you'll get the business.

butter used is Portland butter and
,.that a large number of eggs come
from here. Allen A Lewis, with John

BURNSIDE BRIDGE CLOSED
(Cnltefl Frees Leased Wire.)
San Francisco, June 20. A warrant
was issued here this evening for a man
calling himself Fred Keats Hamilton.
Xt charged him only with, cashing a
bad J 10 check at the Hotel Carlton,
but it brought out some interesting
biographical details concerning the
wanted, man.
Hamilton, as he called himself, l
cently married Miss Bertha Conner, a
Han Diego girl of excellent family.
They came to San Francisco on - their
honeymoon. Early this week the bride-
groom said a $3,000,000 estate had
been left to him in Boston on condl
tion he was single. He did not seem
to mind the fact that he was married
but shortly disappeared.
The search for him brought out the
fact that a man, also calling himself
Hamilton and answering the descrip
tion of the former Miss Conner's hue
band, had subsequently married Mrs.
Mae Dunbar, a rich Oakland widow, at
Stockton, and left with her, profess
edly for Boston.
About the same time. Miss Aura
Miller of San Francisco let slip the
information that a man who tallied
with the so-called Hamilton in deacrlp
tion and name had asked her to marry
him, though already married to the
former Miss Conner.
Perhaps it was Immaterial, but
slightly, later T. ; J. K. MeQowan of
Los Angeles. " who knew the missing
man. supplied the news that he had a
divorced wife living in Oakland.
Then came the incident of the Carl
ton check. Complaint was made of
other bad checks from the same
source, but only one warrant was out
Also a detective was looking for the

he had "Jumped" bills.
