into the water up to their shoulders

the United States court of appeals
at San Francisco that judgment 1"
the case of the Northern Commer
cial company vs. the government
had been affirmed and that an
opinion was being filed there to
day by the court.
This is what is known as the
steamer license case, in which the
Northern Navigation company and
the Northern Commercial company
protested the payment of license
money to the territory of Alaska
on boats which plied between here
and Canadian ports on the ground
that they had already paid licenses
in Canada. They have never paid
any of these contested steamer
licenses, taking the matter into the
court here for adjudication. Judge
Fuller in the lower court. Attor
the licenses to Alaska under the
laws governing the payment of
licc-nses, regardless of what was
paid in Canada. The companies ap
pealed tho case and today's deci
sion affirms the decision of Judge
Fuller in the lower case. Attor
ney Crossiey made a trip to San
Francisco last spring to argue this
case before the court of appeals
and is consequently much gratified
over winning both suits.
About $21,000 in unpaid steamer
license money is involved in today's
decision, so far as the Norther*
Commercial interests are concerned.
I In addition thereto, it was stipulat
| ed some time ago between the at
torneys for both sides, that a sim
j ilar case involving the North Am
l erican Trading & Transportation
! company should rest upon this de
cision. How much money is in
volved in that case could not be
I found out this afternoon, but it is
considerable.
So far as the White Pass company
' is concerned, it has paid Into the
: district court here to be held in
escrow pending this decision, $1,206
covering the steamer Alaska for two
years and a similar amount cover
ing the steamer Yukon. Judge
Fuller entered an order staying the
granting of licenses to these boats
until the point could be passed up
on by the court of appeals at San
Francisco. The licenses are for
[last year and this year.
