pore read as they appeared in tlie
company's pamphlet. Mr. Rusigard
(claiimlng he w*s credited therein with
having made certain statements de
rogatory to tho Guggenheim interests
when the interview aid not so show,
and that the statements in question
were really made by the correspond
ent and not himself. The Attorney
General said he had never made any
unkind Statements regarding the com
pany wor Wad he ever written a letter
containing suefh statements. The Gug
genbehns, he added, had done a
great deal Tor the Territory and Al
aska wants and needs more compan
ies like them.
* He criticised tho company’s pamph
let ettarply, declaring It was not au
thentic, contained inaccuracies and
•add he was sure if .Mr. Knickerbock
er or “Jim” Fozard had seen it be
fore tit was mailed out, it would never
tore left the company's oHfices. Later
Mr. Knickerbocker said he accepted
full responsibility for the pamphlet
and that ilif it contained mis-state
meats the company would see that
Uhojr were 'publicly corrected after
proof was given showing their in
correctness.
Mr. Rustgard said.not only diid he
hove data in his tiles to support |
the contentions made In Sis report.
r
but he hud secured additional data
since lit was published. He quoted
fri in an expense bill as an evidence,
of Hie unfairness of rates between
Seattle and Ail a ska n ports as com
pared to those between Seattle and
San Fra nctco. Ha reiterated his
statement tjiat seasonal traftic in
Alaska was no greater than on oth
er routes, citing pnrF entry statis
tics on vessels loaded and in ballast
in support yiereof.
He 'disputed the company's conten
tion relative to the disparity of coats
of operating 1,500-ton bo.it i and
15,000-ton fJhips. He claimed an al
leged discrepancy existing in, a ship
ment of rubber boots cited, coming
from New York to Seattle on the Mo
torshiip Konnecott and to Juneau on
the Jefferson. The ifreig/ht on the
first log of the voyage, he said, was
115.10, and front Seattle to Juneau
$27.27. The $ame /ate, he said, would
have prevailed on the Alameda. As
to fiize, he alleged, tlhe Kennecott
was only 200 tons larger than the.
Alameda, consequently the lower rate
could not have resulted from the!
disparity ;in tonnage. Mr. Knlcker
ibocker, in his statement later, de
clared .the tonnage figures used by
the Attorney General were absolutely
untrue, that the Kennocott has a
cargo eaipacity of some 3.000 tons
more than the Alameda.

DOUBLE BILL AT LIBERTY
. PROVES TO BE BIG HIT
I “Bought and Paid For," with three
well known stars, and a hig comedy
by Harold Lloyd, two fast reels,
i made up a corking good bill at the
Liberty Th'oator last night. The audi
ence was well pleased with the dou
ble bill and attested to that when
\ leaving the theater. It is on again
i tonight for the last time, only one
i show.
“Bought and Paid For” is from the
1 great stage success of George Broad*
I hurst. As screened'with Jack Holt,
I Agnes Ayres, Walter Hiers and L" ill
Wyant in the leading roles, and with
the exquisite setting by William de
Mtile, the film version is bettor than
that seen on the stage. One of the
thrilling scones was when wTfh only
a door between her and her drink
crazed thusband—only a thin panel of
j wood separating her from her dear
est possession—and every moment
the fiend in the man was triumphing.
What was ,she to do? What could
she do? What was to be the end?
“Bought and Paid For" was the
cruel boast lie hurled at her. Yes,
all bit^ hor self-respect had been
“Bought and Paid For," and that
could never be bought. There Is a
big sdeue well done.
Tlhe comedy by Harold Lloyd was
immense and the two reels took big
last night.
Mr. Rustgard said figures 11-vd lh
Iris report rclauive to the weight or
measurement system and resultant
rates w're ultra conservative in view
of the additional information brought
out in the company's pamphlet. Can
nery companies, he added, are get
ting cargoes hauled for one-third of
what the rest cif the Territ ;y pays
for Hess expensive service. The jeil
reason, he charged, is not that the
companies desire to build up the
cancing industry. but bemuse if more
were charged, the runners would put
on their own vessels.
The fact about rates, lie declared,
is that the tariffs levied lit Hite
steamship companies have placid the
Alaskan people four times as lir
away from the nearest American
markets as Hongkong is distant from
i the Golden Gate.
Refutes Certain Figures
Mf Knicikes bick.tr, who read from
! a carefully prepared statement, went
; into detail on many matters. lie
1 took up at sums length the report
of the Attorney General, giving; par
ticular attention to the alleged
enormous profits claimed by it to
have been made by the Alaska Steam
ship Company. Those, he said, were
I so ridiculous as to merit little con
sideration. He gave a derailed ;u
‘count c{ the company's stock iruns
actions and said for do 13 years it
had been in operation it has aver
aged less than 6 per cent on tits
capital stock.
Referring to the rate on wood pulp,
he said Mr. Rastgard's report left
ttie inference that $5 per ton its the
present carrying charge. This .a
not t)he case, the present rate being
$3. The actual cost of moving these
cargoes from Spec! River to Port
Angeles, he added, ‘without including
any overhead or other general ex
penses, #s $3.i>5 per ton. “Hdwrv r,
we 'are not unduly apprehensive be
cause we saw flit t name a u:o .uf
I'ksiently lew to move tide pulp, which
Is one of Al aska’s industries whi :•
•we trust will steadily increase an 1
develop, and lit is obvious that if this
is to be accomplished a rata Inat
will permit the maiketing of the
product is vitally essential,' in de
clared. s
Establish Basic Rates
Outlining the policy of the com
pany <in .general, Mr. Knickerbocker'
said: “It is a recognized pra'iice
of common carriers generally in tlie
making of rates, to establish as law
rates as possible upon what ate
known as basic cam modi ties, such us
wood pullp, lumber and other forest
products, ore, coal, suit and can:. Mi
fish. Such low rates are established
solely for tho purpose of enabling a
full development of mines, fishlnv
pulp, agriculture, lumber and similar
resources of the country. Pud ■ ex
perience has shown beyond any ques
tion of doubt that active ind’.uf.-lil
development of natural rcsourcse
brings in its wake prosperous am
miutfities that are vitally necessary
for the -successful and permanent up
building of any part of this country.

TJ’ ■ spell of fair w(atlier has continued throughout Alaska during
ill'’ last 24 'ours, and alro over lAilJsh Columbia and Yukon TotI
tory. Temperatures have chancre'! nut little since yestreday, and are
still about seasonable.
Under the influence of a lev pressure area central off the north
Pacific Coast, rains have been gen r it in Washington, Oregon and
California, with the heavy fail of 1.M6 inches at San Francisco.
Wilton such growth and development
materializes, there naturally follows
a flow of traffic lin other commodi
ties, already highly developed, that
can well afford to pay reasonable
remunerative rates. It Is upon these
rate s on other commodities * * *
tin}, in the final analysis compensate
the carriers for having }n the first
instance wisely fixed a low rate upon
the basic commodity or resource that
enabled its complete development,
that built up towns an I prosperous
lumber and mining centers that are
vitally necessary to tho prosperity
of the country. .More *ct loss criti
eis.m has bean freely di roc ted against
the steamship companies operating
in Alaska Ibecause they saw fit to
establish what arc charged as low
rates on canned siimon and cannery
supplies, ere. etc . although I have'
not so far hoard that wc have been
criticized tor naming a very low rate
on wood pulp, which 'is as much a
basic commodity a mining, fishing or
agriculture. Apparently, wo are criti

termed excessive rales, and the i
when we endeavor to contribute to

coastal shipments or inter-continental
'ruffle are obvtiously unfair unless
the volume of business, size of car
riers anrl other factors governing the
entire transportation industry were
also taken 'into consideration, which
he alleged Mr. Rnstgard has not
done. The average monthly busi
ness moving between the Atlantic
and Pacific seaboards, he added, is
greater lin volume Ilian the entire
yearly business of the Alaskan trade.
Ho saiid the tables of distances
used by the Attorney General are In
correct and misleading. The actual
distances he said were: Seattle to
Ketchikan, 714 -miles, Juneau 1,032,
('ordova 1,603, Seward 1,866, Anchor
igo 2,144. as compared to Mr. Rust
sard's figures of 700, 1,000, 1,350,
1.3.70 and 1,700 miles respectively. He
gave tatements of the Alaska traf
fic -of the company for earth month
in tli' year to prove its toasonal
character. He denied the statement
that the company had received moro
under joint traffic arrangements with
the Alaska Railroad for through rates
than it wouiu ua.e under local rates'
and quotes actual -tonniige figures
and receipts which lie said ifroved
that the revenue received was 21 par

case under local rates. The entire

Refers to Measurement System
He emphatically denied Mr ,ui.t
gnid'- charge that the Alack, lines
tre the only ones using the wtight
or measurement system optional w'lh
the shOps. In this regard ho said
| "In view of the fact that an pec
lion of a great ninny tariff sheets
of steamship linos operating on other
than Alaskan waters disoiost I defi
nitely that the weight or me.', ure
ment .basis is positively in eff. ct it is
(PUflcnU to escape the conduit >u that
perhaps this feature was not very
carefully inquired into. 1 have with
tire bailiffs of come 14 water trans
portation lines operating in American |
waters which show beyond question j
that the weight or measurement ays- ■
tool is actually in effect." He filed
ja statement with the committee Ilst
| ing these lines.
Denies Box Shook Rate
He further denied I here Is any dis
crimination on the rate on box
“hooks originating in Seattle and
those -originating in Alaska destined;
for points within the Territory. The'
Seattle tariff on this commodity, he
said, is $3. and the company s tariff
sheets, he added, positively forbid a
higher rate than that being changed
i from any Alaskan point to another
| point in the Territory. He quoted ]
Canadian Pacific tariffs between Van
couver and Prince Rupert to cst-ab
I sh a comparison with Alaskan iu.oM
! and show that the American com
panies are not exceeding tii Cin
! adian tariffs. He denied th- Attor

; qu Ring rates on salmon, pickled fish, -
j l'ish oil, fertilizer, jJI of which were
under $9.
In conclusion, Mr. Knickerbocker
denied that excessive rates are caus
ing an industrial decline In Alaska.
He said that census returns for the
past 30 years show Increases in in
dustries, towns and population in
every section of Alaska except those
parts where bonanza placer deposits
have been worked out. Nome, hp
pointed out, declined in population
between 1900 ami 1910 some 8,000
individuals, whilo during the same
period freight rates were decreased
from $40 to $11 per ton. Gradual
depletion of the placer diggings was
the cause of this condition. In other
sections of Alaska where similar con
ditions prevailed there were similar
causes. In Southeastern, Central and)
Western Alaska sections, he decjared.l
(there have bepti steady and sitbstan
dial Increases of Industry, population
and settlements since 1900.

where there are no industries.
