what stacsered to read the following
from the Daily Skagway News on the
exorbitant charges by the White
Piass tc Yukon route for carrying 21
lies. The News says
Thu 1ik 'rttht tariff sheet of the
White Pass at Yukon Route, effective
October 10, I Ml, and now attempted
tc be enforced, quotes the following
tariff charges from Skagway to the
aummit a distance of H miles:
Orour "A." under S tor. lots $2 per
10' pounds H" per ton IT-' per
carload of IS tona. Group , B " $: M
per 4I per tee ttw per r

"t " M-M ler 1 Sr" per ton $1
62' per corkwd On single pieces
weighing (final to I0H pounds
from to 1" per cent Is added to the
abov quo'ori rates Single pieces
weighing over & pounds take a
pecta'. rate, presumably higher Ship
ments In quantity of five ton to W
tons, a reduction of 4 to 11 per
cent is offered I am Informed tha'
for shipments of over 2' tons a cor
respondtngly greater per oent of re
dtictior. Is made
The aecretary of the Interior nor
axy other public official has the pow
er to make lawful Its extortionate
rates charged by the White Pass k
Tukoc route and he never a tempted
to do such a thing The law provides
that all charges for transportation by
Alaska railroads shall lie poeted In
two places In their depot. I have not
been able to find these posted In the
depot o: the White Pas Yukon
route at Skagway
Congress having failed to fix the
rates the common law. as crystallied
Into form by the various decisions of
the higher courts and now In force
tn Alaska, restrict the charges by all
public carriers to "reasonable rates."
I'nrt.'r the common law all i barges
collated hy public carriers above rs
aonable rates can be recovered The
White Pass a- Yukon route is a public
carrier a publh highway built upon
the pub!:, domain and largely from
material belonging to the public I. e..
citixens of the t'nited Slates. It oc
cupies exclusively the only available
pass across the mountains which
privilege Is worth not less than II
ihhi one am! for all of which It has
never paid the consideration of so
much as one dollar Our public serv
ant the congress granted thts valu
aule right of way and franchise to
the Whit.- Pas a Yukon route- solely
and entirely upon tb- implied consid
eration that they the company
should make their rates "reasonable"
and thus subserve the public good
This they have not done as the above
quoted tariffs show
The White Pass A Yukon route has
paid not one dollar of tax. rents or
other revenue to the government ex
cspt their annua! license tax of I'.'"
par mile of which 21 miles is payable
to our government But on the other
hand it is being paid for carrying
the United States mails at the pres
ent time, at the regular pack horse
rates which were popular three year
ago. It has taken a aub contra :
from th- original contractor, who re
ceives 4I,0M per annum for moving
the malls from Skagway to Tanana.
How much of thts sutn the origins:
contractor be. left after paying the
railroad company can be eat: mated
pretty loaely by those wht have had
dealings with that company
