EFFORTS BEING HOE TO CLOSE
FAIBBAIKS AS SUB-PORT ENTRY
Fairbanks, Nov. 15—The Fair
banks Commercial Club, the Fair
banks City Council and many of the
leading merchants have sent tele
grams of protest to the Treasury de
partment against the proposed order
to abandon Fairbanks as a subport
of entry.
The Northern Commercial com
pany, which maintains a strong lob
by in Washingipn in connection with
its allied steamship ana railroad
lines has been working to secure
the order desired from the Secre
tary of the Treasury, in whose de
partment the matter lies. Customs
Collector Willis is known to be
friendly to the proposed closing of
the port, and President Dickeson,
of the White Pass railroad, when he
became aware ot the fact, sent tel
egrams to merchants in Fairbanks,
requesting them to protest, which
they have done.
If the order is granted Fairbanks
ceases to be a port of call for Ca
nadian boats and the competition of
the past season, which resulted in
cheap rates for i;assenger and freight
business, will stop
Since the close of navigation the
Northern Commercial company has
purchased the large stock of goods
brought into Fairbanks by the White
Pass and sold at low rates to the
independent merchants, who were
thus able to fight the large com
pany. The "N. C." has since raised
the prices of commodities in town
and the prospectors are paying as
much for goods now as previous to
the starting of the fight, as the
White Pass is unable to place goods
in Fairbanks this season. The
purchase of P^ple's Store, Griffith
and the othere by the "N. C.", gave
them the whip hand during the win
ter.

point and states that five deaths
have already occurred and that the
disease is contagious, although it is
believed to be under control. In

gested that the native villages be

FAIRBANKS WIRELESS MAN*
HAS RARE EXPERIENCE
Fairbanks, Nor. 15—Whilo mak
ing the last run of the wireless sta
tion on Wednesday evening, W. W.
McLaughlin had the rare experience
cf working with the steamship Vic
toria at a distance of 1,000 miles.
The steamer wag proceeding from
Seattle toward Dutch . Harbor, and
was locatoi a little southeast of Un
imak pass whui the operators ex
changed compliments.
According to local operators, the
signals wqje clear and well defined,
while th. wireltis man on the steam
er reported that the spark was
strong. —
In making the final run of the
day with the r.idio station at Eagle,
the local operator was informed
that the latter station had heard
from both the steamships Victoria
and Mariposa. The Eagle operator
reported that the Mariposa was off
the southeast coast and could be
heard distinctly.
It was then that the Fairbanks
radio operator attempted to raise
the boats, but was successful in
reaching only the Victoria.
The experience is a rare one,
and the climatic and static condi
tions must be excellent for the
Fairbanks station to communicate
with any other place so far remov
ed, as the radio plant here is not
high powered.
