SEATTLE FEEL8
HER TRADE SECURE
Seal lli', Jan 3 1.— Portland's cf
rorls to break into the Alaska
trade are being watched with in
terest in Seattle but merchants
tiave taken no steps to offset the
competition of the Oregon me
tropolis. In fact, local nierch
mls have displayed marked in
lifference to the endeavor (if ri
k'al ports to alienate a portion of
the Alaska business. Seal lie has
been so strongly entrenched in
Ibis trade since the Klondike rush
that it is evident thai local inler
•sts hold Hie opinion Hint no coni
Im'|ilor can oust them.
This coudilioii was due largely
u the lack •)!' adequate steamship
•onnections to oilier ports. San
Francisco has always had a por
tion <>f | lie liorlhei'll trade, |)||I I he
distance to the ftoUb-n ftale has
Aorkeil against llial port's I
I'hances in Alaska. 'Those who
know I Im> situation and are will
ing to discuss il from an unpre
iudiced \iewpoinl admit that Porl
laml has an excellent opporlun
ily lo j:e| a porlion of the Alas
ka business. The distance liy wa
ter from Portland is lint a Irille
urealcr than from Seattle, and if
Porllaud can obtain transporta
tion thai is satisfactory the bus
iness men of Portland, il is ad
milled here, should gel a good
share of the northern business.
I.ast year the Dodge Steamship
•onipany operated the steamer SI.
Helens from Seattle to Hcring sea.
If Portland meets the terms laid
down by the steamship lino, it is
likely that the St. Helens will be
lost to Seattle during the coming
Nome season. Several years ago
Tacoma had an excellent oppor
tunity to get into the Alaska busi
ness, bul the merchants of that
city failed to take advantage of
I he opening, and consequent ly
Tacoma ships but a small propor
tion of the freight which goes to
I lie north each summer.
II is admitted thai Portland is
in an advantageous position to
ircl a good share of the passenger
lratl;c from California to Alaska,
;is passenger steamers leave San
Francisco only about twice a year.
