FUTURE FOLIC!
President 0. L. Dickeson of the
W. P. & Y. Route Co., who is now
in Chicago, but expected to arrive
in Skagway early in June, has
given out the following autharized
statemen as to the future policy of
that company;
"The American Yukon Navigation
Company, huving purchased the j
boats, barges and other physical
property owced by the Northern 1
Navigation Company, t is only na
tural that with the transfer of the
property that residents jjcI busin
neas enterprise!! should manifest:
an interest. A j;reat many friendly
inquires have been made as to |
what the deal contemplates and i ■
is our desire in tlie same friendly j
spirit to state the fu'ure policy
and chief aim of the company in
consumating the purchase.
"It is generally comeueu ui;u ;
one organization should I'c able to
conduct a busiuess cheaper and pcv
haps with a greater dvfjreo of er-1
flcieney and render better servi<< ]
than two organizations undertaking ■
tc do are same thing, involving
two sets of charges which must be !
paid by some one. Th'u general
rule should apply for the most |
part in the undertaking un !er way.
Believing that it will, it shall be
the policy of this company to vol
untarily undertake in the reorgan
ization to let the public share with
us such general benefits ;»3 may i
derived from future operations.
"Under the conditions referred
to there is apparently ,i popular
idea that it is our in tent'01. to raise
flight and passenger rr.tes above
;be rates prevailing in 15' 12, when
I tie transportation business of the
j Kortli was carried on under normal
j traffic conditions. Such It. not the j
policy. Quito tho contrary, the rates
I will not be above tho normal of
1912 basis, and we are working out
a plan to make some reductions in
the freight and passenger rates
under the rates during the period
referred to in the territory affect- j
ed by the transfer.
"Our tariffs are competed and
will be made public shortly. But
oue tariff will be issue.', and all
patrons charged alike.
"It shall be our further policy J
to establish and maintain a through
uninterrupted service an-1 improi
it wherever possible in tho in-1
terest of public comfort. Increased
development In the country is to
our interst and wo believe develop-'
ments should follow a policy of help
fulness and encouragement to these
undertakings to create new indus- j
tries.
"It is our belief that our patrons i
HI receive with a spirit of wel- i
coma and renewed interest tho ad
vance announcement . of this gen
eral policy and be patient while w
are undertaking to work out what
Is generally believed to be the
very best thing for the future in
terests of the North."

I I! ussels, May 1—The glaring con
trast in the different brands of jtis
! (.ice handed out to the rich and
i pooi in Belgium is being severely
1 denounced by the labor press, tho
following being among many recent
instances cited:
In the local prison a rich banker
is awaiting trial for having' shot
two workmen. A few days ago he
lietitioued the Minister ot Justice to
be allowed to see his dying child,
and the request was promptly grant
ed. Ia the sauie prison was a work
man charged with the theft of a
fireplace decoration. When he peti
tioned to be allowed to visit his
dying mother, whose house was
situated only a few yarrfs from the
prison, the request was refused. The
lioor woman died alone, and two
days later the son was acquitted.
Nome, May IS—Five of the
Warren red bird dogs which have
won practically every ehort dis
tance race here in the past five

and a racing team of stag hounds,
