SKAGWAY ALASKA, SATURDAY. DECEMBER 6, 1913
PORTLAND BUSINESS IN ARE
FIGURING ON THE ALASKAN TRADE
Portland, Dec. 6—Announcement
is made here that beginning soon
after the first of January the Pac
ific Steamship Company composed en
lirely of local interests, will place
a line of steamers in direct service
between Portland and points in
Southeastern Alaska.
It is the result of tireless effort
on the part of the Chamber of
Commerce, a number of shippers
and steamship men that the matter
finally came to a successful head
this morning. It will be the first
time since the Klondike rush that
the merchants of this city have had
aa opportunity to send freight di
rect to the big, rich territory to the
north, having been obliged to route
their consignments through the
Sound.
Following the rapid development
of Alaska the lust few years, mauy
attempts heretofore have been made
by the business interests and the
Chamber of Commerce to inaugurate
a direct service out of Portland. It
long had been recognized that the
establishment of such a line, if giv
en the support it merits, -would add
greatly to the city's pestige as a j
shipping port.

of the death roll caused by the
floods throughout the central part
of the state reveals the number of
reported fatalities to be 53.
PROGRESSIVE STATE PARTY
TO RE ORGANIZED TONIGHT
San Franrlsco, Dec. 6—The Cal
ifornia Progressive state party will

PERSONAL
Dr. J. P. Brawand is agalu
around, having almost entirely re
covered from his late indisposition.
R. H. Colds, proprietor of the
Panama hotel at Valdez, passed
thi ugh on his way home on the
N nhwestern last night. He paid
the Daily Alaskan a friendly call
while the vessel was tied up here.
Jack J. Froeling, who went into
the west arm of the Lake Bennett
country last fall with the intention
of hunting and trapping this winter,
returned to Skagway last night, and
when seen by a representative of
this paper declared that country to
be a blank as far as trapping is
concerned. It is believed here that
Jack has lost his cunning as a
tiapper and frontiersman, having
spent the last few years in ease
and comfort, and that the depriva
tion of the luxuries of City life
brought on a severe attack of "chill
ed pedal extremities", and that he
prefers the comforts of club life to
the solitude of the "great alone."

POLICE ARE READY
FOR WINTER CROOKS
Dawson News; Major Moodle
states that a umber of reports of
dogs having been stolen have been
filed with the police this fall, but
that, with police posts and tele
graphic communication in all direc
tions «now, it is expected to land
every dog thief behind the bars
who tries to move along the trails
animals.
iu any direction with the stolen
The establishment of the police
post at the mouth of Whit reiver
and other police posts, at several
points farther up the Whtie, makes
it impossible for the dog thieves
to head for the Chisana without
running into the arms of the mem
bers of the force.
A patrol will be maintained be
tween the posts as soon as the ice
hardens a little more, and anyone
venturing on the road with stoleu
dogs is practically certain of going
into the skookum house. The pa
trol will be furnished with reports
from Dawson by telegraph to the
mouth of the White. The police
will travel much faster than the
ordinary dog team, and therefore,
will be enabled to overtake and pass
practically all other travelers on
tte route.
The placing of a post at the
mouth of the White gave the po
lice a great tactical advantage in re
spect to every form of patrol and po
lice duty. Police posts also are
maintained at Fortymile and in the
southern part of the territory so
that the winter mushers in the
Canadian Yukon will have good pro
tection this winter. It is believed
the gold dust from Chisana and
other valuables likely will be
brought out this way continuously
-is against the Scolai route not only
because of less danger from storms,
but also because of the greater
protection afforded by the police
s>-tem of this territory.

WELL KNOWN MINING MAN
ON BOARD NORTHWESTERN
J. L. Steel, postmaster at Land
lock, Alaska, well known through
out the Territory, passed through
Skagway last night on the North
western 011 his way home from the
outside. Mr. Steel availed him
self of the opportunity while the
vessel was in port to pay the Daily
Alaskan a short visit during which
he took occasion to speak of the
various advertised routes to the
newly discovered gold fields of the
interior.
In his long residence in the
north, Mr. Steel has prospected ov
er and traversed a great portion of
tte country followed by the differ
ent trails and had no hesitancy in
saying that the one from Whitenors
via Kluane lake to Cliisana is the
one which should be used to the ex
clusion of all others.
While he admitted that the dis
tance to the camp by this route is
greater than some others, he said
'.hat this disadvantage is more than
orfset by the lessening of the hard
ships of travel and what is of more
importance the absolute safety to
human life.

Clothes
Twenty-five dollars isn't much
money to spend for a suit
of clothes; when you come to know what
first-class quality of materials and tailoring,
and what restfulness of mind as to style
that price commands, you'll almost think it
isn't enough to pay.
Young men especially want smart
style; and Hart Schaffner & Marx have
the style problem so perfectly worked out,
we advise any man to put his money, and
himself into one of their $25 suits:
We have clothes at $ 18
and $20 and at $30, $40
