ALASKAN
BUSINESS
MAY BE. DIFFICULT
TO LAND IN FUTURE
Juneau Resident Says For
mer Failure of Portland
Line Has Done Damage,
GOODS IN BAD ORDER
Frank Heartiness of Alaskans Tunis
I to Cold Skepticism After Re
peated Abas.
Portland ia going to have a hard
battle to install herself In the (food
graces of Alaskans following the fiasco
mad by the Portland Steamship com- j
puny in inai ueciion ibbi year, accora
tug to L. II. Jernlgan, a Portland man
who went Into business In Juneau last
summer.
In Alaska they scoff at the Idea of
a Portland steamship line. The treat
ment accorded by the last line, its lack
oi schedule, the poor class of the Ves
sels used and the non-payment of
calms has made a mighty poor Impres
sion on the Alaskans. "
"I went up there last summer with
out knowing a soul but having excel
lent Portland connections," said Jer
nlgan yesterday. "Within three weeks
I was doing a general produce business
of $1000 a month. I depended on the
Portland line. My goods came to me
In rotten shape. In one case of eggs
1C dozen were broken. Grapes, fresh
fruit and vegetables that left this port
in fine shape got to me unfit for any
thing. Alaska Welcomed Unt.
'The people of Alaska welcomed the
coming of the line with open arms. 1
had any number of men tell me that
they had longed for the opportunity to
buy In Portland for many years and
tley proceeded to make the best of It.
They all suffered as I did.
"Early In the fall the Portland line
quit. I had sen It coining but had
been told that It would only be a tew
weeks till better and bigger boats
were put on. But I sent word to j.
Seattle house that I would like to do
business with them. They repllod very
nicely that one of their salesmen
would call on me at his earliest op
portunity. "Three weeks later he came. In the
meantime I had written every other '
"produce house there In the same vein I
Ti ls salesman came in, shook hands
with me. inquired where I had been
buying, pussed the time of day and left
saying that he would be back in an
htur.
Will Setnra to Alaska.
"lie never came back nor dll one
other house accept my business. I
was ostracized by them because 1 had
come from Portland and because I had
used the Portland steamship line and
dealt with Portland merchants. I held
on for several weeks on such poultry
and the like as I could pick up there.
Then I paid my few bills, packed my
trunk and left.
"I am calling attention to what I
let Just that Portland people can get
an Idea of what Seattle spirit is and
. what they must buck in order to get
In there again. I, for one, will go back
the moment I can do business with
, firms that can supply me with the
.right kind of stuff and I'll make money,
xor mere are no people and la no other
country Just like the Alaskans."
INVESTIGATION TO CONTINUE
Solicitor of Department of Justice
to Probe Case of Smugglers.
San Francisco, Nov. 20. (P. N. 8.)
"With John B. Dlnsmore, solicitor of
the department of labor, already In
San Francisco, and four Investigators
from the department of Justice speed
ing toward here, the most thorough
.investigation ever made of the San
.. Francisco immigration service im
pends.
Dlnsmore, after a secret conference
with Edward White, new commissioner
of immigration at Angel Island, has
divulged his mission here. He said:
"1 am going to conduct an lnvesti-
Jatlon into the immigration service
lfficultles and fix responsibility for
- them. The smuggling of Chinese is
the principal subject under investiga
tion, and I cannot but believe that
- someone has been receiving money. I
ahull assume full charge of the in
quiry. James HugUefl, assistant com-
. mlsstoner of immigration at Philadel
phia, ts returning from Idaho to a-'klst
: me.
"I ahull make a thorough investi
gation of the charges preferred against
. immigration officials and I shall seek
to determine wherein lies the weak-
. tiess which has, been responsible for
Qitnese smuggling."

Desirability of Terimnal Rates

Out to Realty Board,
The startling disparity between the
commerce totals of 10 months for Seat
tle, the Pugpt sound metropolis and
Portland, endowed with water grade
location that should operate to get
the businesH, was presented before the
Realty board's outspoken session Fri
day. During the 10 months of 1915, end
ing October 31, H was said, Seattle's
ocean borne commerce aggregated
$206,370,436, according to the report
of the port warden.
During the same period Portlan-l's
Import and export commerce is re-
ported by the custom office to have
been $18,184,698. On the presumption
Ithat Seattle's figures Include coast
wise traae ana possioiy 10 uie Aiianiic
coast, Portland's figures of $34,007,018
in coastwise business and $10,234,161
to New York are added, making a total
of J62.426.877.
Seattle's excess over this figure for
the first 10 months pf the year is the
huge total of $143,944,559.
Vew Steamships Announced.
It was stated to the Realty board
that while Portland announces a scien
tific analysis of the situation respect
ing ship lines, or, rather the lack of
ship lines. W. R .Orace & Co., an
nounce a new line from Puget sound
to Central America, touching at San
Francisco, but passing the Columbia
river by. The line is to consist of
five vessels, two of which are passen
ger liners. The same company an
nounces three new vessel for trade
through the Panama canal between
Puget sound and New Tork.
Ship lines, it was pointed out, are
Bent where there is tonnage,-and if this
port or the ports of the Colum
bia expect to handle business the irr
ebuttable rate making based on the
mountain haul to Puget sound must be
cured, terminal rates on a parity with
Puget sound mutt be granted to the
mouth of the Columbia river, use must
be made of the means of water trans
portation and t'he community must be
willing to work with all the district
to get the big things necessary.
Commerce Committee Authorized.
On motion of John F. Day. a com
merce committee of the Realty board
was autnorizea. it will make contin
uous study of commerce problems.

No motion for dismissal of the in
dictment charging election fraud
against Albln L. Clark, a retired army
officer, has been presented to either
Circuit Judges Gantenbein or Gatena
and neither Judge has declined to sign j
tne oraer. otn, nowever, nave ex
pressed reluctance to do so. Judge Ga
tens because he granted Clark a new
trial after Clark was convicted, and
Judge Gantenbein because he was
elected at the election in which the
frauds occurred and changes were
made on ballots for and against him
and because he and Clark are both
Spaniah-Arneriean war veterans.
Collier Makes Statement.
Clark was convicted on his second
trial after a first Jury had disagreed.
A. M. Butler, court reporter who took
notes of the case, died before the notes
were transcribed and on that ground
a new trial was granted. Deputy Dis
trict Attorney Collier said that he had
been able to find no evidence to con
nect any one "higher up" than Clark
In the alleged fraud.
Regarding, the reported attPmpt and
failure to secure the dismissal; Collier
made the following statement:
"After careful consideration of all
the circumstances, the district attorney
has reached the conclusion that thd
Clark case should be dismissed. This
man was tried twice, each trial last
ing an entire week. The case was an
unusually close one, the evidence being
entirely circumstantial. The first
trial resulted in a disagreement, the
Jury standing six to six. The second
trial resulted in a verdict of guilty,
which was set aside by the court on
account of the intervening death of the
official reporter.
Experiences Are Cited.
"I have had frequent experience with
Juries trying a case after a disagree
ment, where the Jurors, although more
or less convinced of the defendant's
guilt, have brought in verdicts of- not
guilty on the ground that he had been
punished enough. This fact, together
with the cost to the county, the dls-
, - . i .it,AM th Inn., of '
time since the crime occurred, and the!
persai ul wi . - .
fact that Clark has already undergone
a consiaeraoie puniaiaineiii., i
reasons upon which is based the de
termination to move for a dismissal.
"Ko dismissal order has been pre
sented either to Judge Gantenbein or
Judge Gatens, but I am aware of the
fact that both of these readily see
why it might embarras either of them.
It makes no differenece to me what
Judge signs the order. When it is
signed It will be done upon motion of
the district attorney, wno wm mcci
the responsibility."

To Divide Precincts.
Because registration figures show
that 49 precincts have more voters in
their confines than the law contem
plates, these 49 precincts will be divided
i bringing the total precincts in the
county up from 326 to 375. These new
prectncis win oe anown oy nair num
bers. Precincts are supposed to em
brace but 800 voters, and those to be
divided contain from S91 to 698. Pre
cinct 166, with 698 voters, is the most
populous, and precinct 236, with 391
voters, is the least of those to be di
vided. Woman Gets Inheritance.

REPUBLICANS
SEEKING
LINE UPON OREGON'S
PRESIDENTIAL CHOICE
Defeat in Primaries in Tew
States Might Puncture
Healthy Presidential Boom
SITUATION IS SUMMED UP
la Tils State Voters Kay Ezprso
Preference for the Presiden
tial Candidates.
Scouts for Republican presidential
candidates have been In Oregon lately
to see if it will be advisable for said
presidential candidates to seek the en
dorsement of Oregon Republicans In
the primary election to be held next
May.
These "advance agents" have been
endeavoring to get a correct line on
sentiment in the state before the can
didates decide sbout the primary elec
tion. Defeat in the primaries of three
or iour states mignt puncture a fairly j
....... cniuciLiia i iiuuiii. raucn m ais-
play of weaknesa might seriously af
fect delegates from other states which
do not have presidential primaries.
Speculation Is Xlfe.
So there is considerable speculation
In political circles as to the number
of Republican "presidential, possibili
ties'' who will permit their name io
be submitted to Oregon Republicans
next May. As a general thing it Is
expected, that the primary elections
will "smoke out" the candidates ear
lier than usual. The first primary
elections will be held early In March,
Indiana, Minnesota and North Dakota
will vote in March.
Klgbtsen states have presidential
primaries, and these states will have
a majority of all the delegates In tha
nert Republican national convention.
so the situation becomes somewhat
serious to the candidates who would
really prefer to make no'poeitlve Wove
until the time of the convention.
The 18 states which have some form
of presidential primaries snd the
number of delegates to which they
will be entitled In the next Republi
can national convention are: Califor
nia, 26; Illinois. D8; Indiana. 30: Iowa,
26: Maryland. Is: Massachusetts. I;
Michigan. 30: Minnesota, SO; Nebraska.
16; New Jersey, 28; New York, 88;
North Dakota, 10; Ohio. 48; Oregon.
10; Pennsylvania; 7; Houth Dakota,
10; West Virginia, 16; Wisconsin, 28.
XTamss Are Considered. '
It Is reported In political circles
that In all probability former Vice
President Charles W. NFairbanks of
Indiana, Senator John W. Weeks of
Massachusetts, ex-Senator Theodore E.
Burton of Ohio end Senator Albert
Cummlngs of Iowa will permit their
names to go on the primary election
ballot In this state. It Is Considered
probable that the name of Senator
William K. Borah of Idaha will also
be placed on the ballot if he will give
his consent. There may be others."
In some of the statss which have
presidential primaries only the dele
gates are voted for, hut In Oregon in.
addition to electing the delegates to
the national convention the voters will
be given the privilege of expressing
their direct choice for president and
vice-president.
Election of Delegates.
"Before the name of'a candidate for
president can be placed upon the pri
mary election ballot In this state It
will be necessary for such candidate
to submit to the secretary of state a
written request tbat his name be' put
on the ballot or 1000 voters 'Pf his
party must petition the secretary of
state to put. the name on the Fallot.
The candidate Is then to be voted for
or against the same as the candidate
for any state office.
Delegates to the national conven
tion will be elected at the same time.,
Oregon is entitled to 10 delegates, and
two are to be elected from each of the
three congressional districts snd the
remaining four will be elected from
the state at large. F.ach elector there
fore will have opportunity to vote for
six oft of ten delegates to be eleeted.
The primary election situation does
not concern the Democrats so much
as it is considered a foregone conclu
sion that President Wilson will be the
choice of his party for reelection.
