this morning that he had received
liothin; official from the company,
bm 'hsl he understands* passenger
ratis are to l>o increased to $37.50
plus war tax, and in all likelihood
the message refers to that. Increase
of freigh' rates was still under con

Skagway for several days, reports
farmers ia that vicinity; w i J I: plant
a large quantity of potatoes and
turulps the coming eeaepn, and
that there will be more farming
land under cultivation and seeded,
than ever before.
There are a number of ranchers
in the immediate vicinity, and all
express themselves as being satis
fied with conditions there, except
for the lack of transportation. Many
new farm buildings are being erect
ed to accommodate the increasing
stock and in which to store land
products.
Efforts have been made to have
large steamers 6t0B> at Davidson gla
cier 10 take on farm products, and
it is tnought if such a service could
be inaugurated many other -ranch
ers would settle in that' region.
Thus far all efforts have been un
successful.!
"Paddy" McLaughlin is visiting
with friends m Skagway, and will
be in town for about a month more.
He Is a veteran of the Spanish Am
erlc" i war. Mr. McLaughlin has
done considerable prospecting about
Davidson glacier, and has found a
silver prospect which gives promise
of developing into a good produc
