COMPETITION*
Recent transportation movws in
form us that a Jigiit is to be made
iu vVusU'ngtau againsf the Canadian
steamship lines running to Alaska.
A move ow the part oX Itie t'niteu
it-ttes pover:mient to delude tilt
l_uu~uian hut's froan oporatuig to
Alaska and. carrying passengers
trom American ports would be de
trimental to Alaska.
We believe in loyal support ot
American institutions aJ.d American
shipping, everything eise being
e>iual. Any business must recog
ui2e that competition is the Hie oi

Handle district.
lies idee offering additional mail
lactlities and tliu opportunities for
travel in the uoituland waters, thej
alio affurd a direct oonunuuicatiou
with Canadian railroal lint's; sliorl
eniug *110 distance to the east. The
competition they ofter trade whicn
is seeis'i-g to root itself in this pio
neering country involve more than
transportation. It brings the busi
ne.-s men at both terminals togeth
er and olaces them upon th«ir met I
iu keen competition for trade in
vile Teriitory.
The great cry of both political
purt.ts is for development of Alas
ka. History clearly snows that a
country must have trnai^poi-tatiou
and tha' there mikt be a degree at
competition in that trane4>oraiou( bw
fore the country is placed at its
best. Alaska needs ail of the
nit lbeds of transportation tnat it
can possibly get. The more boats
thai ply up and down the coast,
bringing to and taking from our
I-orts, pacssengers, t'reign* and lug
gage. the more quickly will our
people come in touch with* condi
tions on the outside.
No doubt the companies waging
the fight are acting upon legal
grouuus and are following the "math
ods of big business in trying to
squeeze from the map of competi
tion all that will go. Alaskans
view the situation from Che de
gree of service and ask that other
lines put ooi the run as good boats,
rendering the same seiVice and the
difficulty will cease.

The average layman, who has but
a fuw minutes each day to devote

Uvouie somewhat befuddled ov er

our and preheating themselves, not
only to this nation, but every oth
er civilized nation on the lace of
the globe. To him i' seems as one
boiling mass of trouble.
The unanimous wish| of practical!/
all of the people in the United
State8 would be able to act as Bhe
big bro'her and set an example be
fore «he eyas of the world by main
taining a neutral position and
eventually being the peaoe maker
amongst the warring nations—but
indications point to the immediate
mixing with our southern neighbor.
The Battle of Carrlzal, recently
fought, will In all probability be
the signal for a declaration of war
ou the pairt of both nations. Just
