i KELLFR BROTHERS
Rustgard Peeved
At Seattle C. Club
Juneau. Jan. 15.—John Rustgard
| attorney general frr Alaska, charg
| t>s the Seattle chamber of commerce
refused to allow him to address that
organization on AUska transporta
tion matters, and that Seattle daily
papers refused to [ ablish liis views
on the same subject. He announc
es he will shortlj tour Southeast
Alaska, speaking ti. commercial or
ganizations In opposition to Seattle
business interests.
Speaking at Juneau. Rustgard
said:
j "I am In favor of patronising Am
erican industry and American sliip
i ping in preference to any other, but
! I am not in favor of permitting the
American shipping Interests to dic
tate to us absolutely, charge us
rates that are unlair and not in
keeping with those charged any
where else in the world."
As an instance. Vr. Kustgard says
that the ship's clur ges for shipping
canned salmon fri jii Ketchikan to
i Seattle is $7.50 per ton. with the
} ship have the choice of charging
i either weight or measurement rates
j The same cargo, he says, can be
shipped from Seattle to Knglaud or
the continent of Kurope, through
the Panama canal, u distance of
thousands of miles for $12 per ton
He also compares oilier rates from
Seattle to Alaska points, showing
that tlour and wheat may be sliip
: ped to the United Kingdom for $ti
gross ton weight, to Scandinavian
ports for $S per tor., and to the Bal
tic for $10.
Regarding the shipments of can
ned salmon. Mr. hustgurd said he
learned in Seattle jnst before he
left there that one company was
now offering to cany salmon to Liv
erpool for $6. cutting the old rate
irt two.
As to pulp, Mr. Lustgard said the
rate from Senttle to Liverpool was
only about 50 cents a ton more than
it costs to ship it f. oin Southeastern
Alaska to Seattle, including the
ship's charges and the wharfage and
other charges which are added on.
I'nder these conditions, Mr. Itust
gard is In favor of throwing open
the competition to Canadian or
other boats, but is more particular
ly in favor of the passage of the
New bill, which would give the sec
retary of the interior the right to
force a fair freight rate to Alaska,
or else put government ships on to
handle the business.
GERMAN SHIPPING REVIVES
Tonnage of Vessels at Hamburg 80
Per Cent of Peace Rrcord, Har
bor Statistics Show.
Hamburg.—Germany's freight-carry
ing trade Is making steady progress
toward regaining Its prewar volume.
Harbor statistics iiidb-ute that the ag
gregate tonnage >>f vessels using this
port have reached SO per cent of the
peace traffic.
Announcements of steamers bought
back from former enemy powers fol
low each other In rapid succession,
and harbor facilities are already prov
ing Insufficient to accommodate the
growing traffic, now that big plants,
such as Krupps and Krhardts. which
formerly manufactured war material,
are turning out peace goods In great
quantities for overseas consumption.
Shipping authorltes are urging the
revival of ambitious prewar plans for
harbor extensions.
Boy Spears Big Hawk.
Grants Pass. (ire.—Knights who
thronged the courts of King Arthur
had nothing on Marian Smith, aged
nine years, of this city, when It comes
to throwing a wicked spear. Marian
was playing with some other lads
when a huge hawk lit In a nearby
tree. He called to his playmates to
watch, threw a spear at the bird and
brought it to earth, pierced through
the neck. The hawk measured 31
Inches from tip to tip of its •vings.
May Complete The
Road By Feb. 15
Actual completion of the govern
ment railway in A.aska will he on
KV1>. 15, according to Col. Mears,.
chairman of the engineering com
mission. who passed thru Seattle re
cently on his way east. He said the
formal celebration of the comple
tion of the line will be some time
near summer with Secretary of the
Interior Fall, Governor Scott C.
Hone, and. it Is hoped, President
Harding present. It is hoped to
have President Hiding drive the
golden spike at that time. The cel
ebration will be held at Riley creek,
mile 247. near the entrance to Mc
Kinlev national Park. Col Mears.
while here, conferred with officers
of the Alaska Steamship Co. and the
Pacific Steamship Co., regarding
joint through passenger fares and
through bills of lading between Se
attle and points on the railway. It
is understood the steamship com
panies are co-operating heartily
with the railroad commission and
that a thru rate which will show
most substantial reductions to in
terior points will be satisfactory to
government officials There is talk
of a thru rate of $40 a ton from Se
attle to Fairbanks.
U. P. Going After
Alaska Tourists,
The I'nton Pacific railroad has
advised the Seattle Chamber of com
merce it intends to conduct a large
advertising campaign over the Uni
ted States to attri-ft tourist travel
to Alaska. William McXlurray. gen
eral passenger agent, says: "Alaska
will have the heaviest tourist travel
In 1922 It has ever had The com
panies will need every passenger
ship they have." The Seattle Cham
ber has just issued Its tourist book
let for national distribution and It
prominently features the Alaska ex
cursions. The Phcific Steamship
and Alaska Steamship companies
are making extensive alterations
and improvements on ships on the
Alaska run. In anticipation of heavy
travel.
CLASS AND CASTE FORGOTTEN
Chrlitmas Season Is One Period of the
Year When All People
Are Equal.
HIS is the season of rqu.ility, the
one brief period of the year 1
when the Christianized world
momentarily forgets clsss and caste.
Klch and poor, great and lowly, good
and bad. today stand more nearly on a
footing of equality than they have
stood since tl*e last Yuletide. or than
they will stand for another year.
For this Is the Christmas season
ar.d Christmas belongs to the child,
and untutored childhood knows no
caste. It Is only from grown-ups that
the little ones learn false stamlards
■)t social place.
In every human heart that Is not
calloused to all Joy or sorrow, or dead
to the finest emotions of manhood and
womanhood, there Is enshrined some
child, either dead or living—for child
love Is the universal emotion of the
soul.
For this brief season, then, let child
hood take our gnarled hand of
sophistry and beguile us by the finger
back to a fleeting glimpse of that lotus
land of equality we once knew and
can know only once.
Royal Carriages Go Cheap.
Honolulu. T. H.—Koyal relics may be
tinged with the rosy hue of romance,
but their monetary value, especially
iu Honolulu, is low, as was evidenced
recently when a phaeton and a carriage
which had belonged to the stables or
Queen Llliuokalani, last of the native
I monarchs, were sold at auction for
j $C and $5, respectively.
