SITKA DEES ARE
FRIENDLY WITH PEOPLE
Tills is a deer story.
Something happened to the lights
at the Sheldon Jackson School. On
investigation a lull sized doe was
found jammed in such a way as to
cause the trouble. The deer had gone
through the flume into t lit* shop
where the juice is made, the screen
having been removed during flic
flood Sunday and Monday.
By7 the way, from Sunday morning
until Monday morning tho rainfall
was 4.92, the heaviest during the
time records have been kept here,
for a 24-hour period.
C. Nordholm recently spent the
night in a fly tent while after wood.
A deer entered and lay be-ido him
and before leaving the next morn
ing, ate half a loaf of bread.
It may also be recalled that the
Government Experimental Station
last summer wanted permission to
Shoot (leer to keep them from eating
the strawberry plants.

with the traffic and-rates on wui r
routes' on the (!real I .awes which,
he argues, are open for only seven
months of the year.
ilo concludes his rate comparisins
hv saying:
“It is difficult, and in fact impos
sible, to make an accurate estimate
tof I lie average difference in revenues
to the carrier between rates based
upon weight and rates based upon
weight and measurement at ship’s
option; but I believe it reasonable
safe to assert Hint on commercial
freight, on the Alaska routes the
measurement system will yield tlie
carrier at least .‘!8 per cent to 45 per
cent more than whore the Weight
alette is taken into consideration,
j During a season when the rates be
! tween Seattle and San Francisco
i were nominally the same as between
[Seattle and Juneau the freight bills
I for merchandise sent from San Fran
cisco to Juneau shows file cost from
[Seattle to Juneau averaged 69 perl
[cent higher than fiotn Sun Francisco]
j to Scat tic.”
Refers to Railroad Agreement.
The joint rate agreement between
| tlie Alaska Railroad and the Seattl-’
I • teamer lines lc also discussed at
I seme length. Using the ton-mile
[cost as a basis for comparison, Mr.
| Rut sgaltd Ueel a rod:
| "Computation of the ton-mile rates
I* * * will disclose on the Seattle
| New York route, after deducting toll
| at Panama, the ton-mile rate is
I $0.00145; on tlie Seattle-Hongkong
route, approximately $0,001; on the
I Soattlc-Livorpool route, deducting
j Panama toll, the rate is slightly
mere than $0.0007; while on ttic
| SeatUe-Anchorage route the ton
: mile rate is, on carload lots. $0.0122.
i In other words the ton-mile rate in
itlie Alaska route is more than 840
| tier cent greater than on the New
] York route, more .than 1,200 per
j cent greater than on the Oriental
j route, and more than 1,7U0 per cent
'greater than on the Liverpool or
| Bremen route.
I "But as before stated, the truth
Is about 40 p^r rent worse. Instead
I of accepting $17 per ton on the
: Seat tlc-Anchornge route as the basis
iof these calculations, the sum of $25
I shc-uld l>c taken ns more nearly roy
jrect. Instead of Anchorage being
| placed by tlia present steamship
| lines only about three times as far
j from the United States as is tile
Orient, it has been placed about four
and one-half times as fur from the
I nearest home market.’’
j After a table showing- rat's on
'Alaska Water routes and those
'charged by transcontinental rall
j road: .- in which actual- freight hills
1 arc used, the report said:
i ' Utm.il merchandise lie
'shipped across the rohtinent i:i car

Suggests Remedy.
The remeuy, uuuer present condi-j
lions, asserts the report does not,
vert in entry of new steamship lines
into the, field. The ore shipments
of tho Konnecdtt Corporation over
the Alaska Steamship line gives, It
is argued, dial company an advan
tage which operates against open
competition. It is suggested, first,
“to prohibit largo industrial institu
tions from acting as common ear-1
riers, directly or indinpctly, and to I
prohibit common carriers front en-|
gaging in other industries. Such;
prthihition, after many years of
futile attempts at regulation, wasj
found necessary in eastern caal
fields, where a law was some years
ago enacted prohibiting coal miners
from operating railroads as common
carriers and prohibiting railroads
front operating coal mines for the
public market. The same law, in
substance, should be extended to
Alaska water transportation.”
Govermeut operation of steamers
is also seen as an alternative, the
Attorney General declaring: “1 deem
it absolutely essential that tho Gov
ernment ito placed in a position to
take ever water transportation in;
Alaska, until the present companies;
are willing to adopt n policy that Isj
more conducive to the prosperity cl'i
the Territory.”
Jlo also advocates the wisdom of

Commenting on that decision it is
raid:
It would seem that so long as the1
Supreme Court adheres- to the doc-!
trine ret down in the Troy cane the!
following provisions could not lie
held to apply to the Territory, viz:
“No tax or duty shall be laid on,
articles exported from any state.” I
“No preference shall be given by:
any regulation of commerce or reve-j
nuo to the ports of one state over
these of another.”
"No state shall pass any bill of
attainder or ex post facto law or any
law impairing the obligation, of con
tracts.”
“No state shall, without the con
wmt of Congress, lay a duty on lon
lage."
"No state shall make or enforce
■ ny law which shall abridge the
irlvl logos of citizens of the United
31 a lea,"
"The citizens of each state shall
>e entitled to till the privileges and
minunitics of ilia citizens of the
evot'nl States.”
