The several sub-committees appointed to solloif subscription to Stock of the Portland-Alaska Transportation Com pany met late yesterday afternoon In the Chamber of Commerce building. Bach committee was given a different field to cover. ' ' Alexander Kuns presided and made a brief address. He said in part: , "Th, company ' has been Incorporated by R. F. PraeL John C. Carson and W. B. Glafke. with a capital stock of 150,009, to.be divided Into 1000 .shares of $50 each. But only $25,000 is to be subscribed, as we find that that $25,000 Is enough to start, business with. My plan is to charter or lease two small steamers, costing about $3000 a month for chartering, and $1000 for coal. They can make a round .trip to Southeastern Alaska and back In from H to IS days. The steamer Elder haa made it In 14 day. Each steamer would make twp trips per month, or four trips for both steamers. Mr. Moore and I call ed on about half a dosen firms, and they alone promised about 250 to 300 tons of freight ' for each ' steamer. Nowc count this at $6 per ton, and you Would be los ing only "about $200 per month on each steamer, which, is a very little loss at the beginning. But this can be made a paying- venture. What we need Is the sup-, port of Portland's ioTJbchiL we want them to send representatives into that country and sell goods, there. Mr. Moore and I have seen quite a few of the leading houses in Portland, and they all prom ised to make an effort to get up as much freight to send as possible." The secretary was Instructed to get up a letter stating the plans, etc, of the Portland-Alaska Transportation ' Com pany to send to each member of the sub committees for reference. ' Alexander Kuns. the prime mover of the Portland-Alaska Transportation Com pany, in an Interview, said: ."The reason of the failure of former Alaska steamship lines from Portland is that they were not owned and controlled by capital Interested In the growth and welfare of Portland. The newly incor porated line wlU be owned and controlled by Portland people. , A capital of $25,000 is 'needed to pay the charter of two me-dium-slsed steamers In advance, buy coal, etc., and meet all other Incidental expenses, and also be prepared to meet the losses likely to be made In the first few months before the line Is perfectly established and confidence created in Portland, as well as In Alaska, as to the permanency of the enterprise. "Seattle has 30 steamers plying between the Sound and all Alaskan ports, with an approximate net tonnage of 28,185. "Does It not stand to reason that Port land can support a line of two steamers with an approximate tonnage of 1000 tonsT - "It is an assured fact that many ar ticles of merchandise bought heavily In Alaska can be purchased In Portland to better advantage than at Seattle. "Hundreds of tons of merchandise are yearly Shipped to Alaska from Portland via 'Seattle, but the shippers are handi capped by an arbitrary rate of $4 per ton. "The proposed new line of steamers w11 give the shippers the same rate with Southeastern Alaska from Portland as Seattle merchants get from their lines. "The further advantages to Portland are that all provisions for officers and crew, and also passengers have to 1 bought In Portland, and will amount to thousands of dollars per month, even at the start. Our lines will get their share of the outcomlng passenger traffic. Peo ple will come here to spend their money and also to buy their goods.
