STOCK IN ALASKAN
SHIPS ADVANCE
PRICES GO UP BY BOUNDS
MANY INVESTORS REAP
HARVEST
In view of the poor service given
us by transportation companies, an
article by P. C. Hedrik and publish
ed in the Seattle Daily Times of
recent date, showing the enormous
profit made by these companies and
the increased price for their stock,
»nay prove of interest to Alaskans.
The article follows:
Transactions in stock of the Al
aska steamship company running
well up into five figures have gone
through local brokers’ offices and
the banks of this city in the past
few days, the stock yesterday touch
ing $102, the highest figure in the
history of the corporation, which
has its headquarters in this city.
In the past sixty days quiet buy
ing of this stock has sent its sel
ling value »p 15 to 20 points and
the present firmness of the market
and the facts known to those "on
the inside” indicate that the price
asked today, $105, is low, for some
authorities hold it to have a book
value of of $125.
Large wealth has been gained by
a number of prominent sharehold
ers of the Alaska Steamship be
cause of the sensational advance
in the price of the stock. Among
these is Charles E. Peabody, who is
said to hold 200,000 shares of the
corporation; John Rosene, long a
stockholder in the company, and
Manson P. Backus, president of the
National Bank of Commerce.
A year ag0 stock of the Alaska
Steamship sold locally around $60
to $70. In the past twelve months
the earnings of the corporation
have been immense. A cash de
vidend is reported aggregating
$600,000, is soon to be declared.
Further, the company last Octo
ber purchased two iron freight ships
on the great lakes, which have since
been chartered on the Atlantic on
such favorable terms that they are
expecting to earn 75 per cent, or
more of their cost in about six
months, or about $500,000.
Stock of the Pacific Alaska Nav
igation Company, the earnings of
which have grown at an enormous
rate in the past year, has felt a
similar upswing, having advanced
from $75 to $90 a share in the
past three weeks.
President H. F. Alexander of the
Pacific-Alaska, is now in New York
where the company recently placed
two steamships purchased last fall
on the Great Lakes, in the sugar
trade between New York and Cuba.
The terms of the charter of these
vessels for a period of six months
are reported to be so favorable
owing to a lack of tonnage on the
Atlantic, as to earn the company
$90,000 net a month.
Of Alaska Steamship Company
stock James Mcfarlane, a well
known broker in the Colman build
ing said:
“Very recent sales of this stock
have run into large figures. Suen
stock as has been sold locally nas
fallen into strong hands—people of
large means, who have purchased
it for permanent investment. Us
book value today is $125. It 53
now in keen demand at from $102
tj ?:05.”

F.IC-HT MONTHS IN WAR
NOW FEARS SPANKING
NEW YORK, Feb. 5.—A man’s
growth of beard failed to hide the
boyish happiness of 16-year-ola
Robert Vincent ag he arrived here
after eight months along the fight
ing front in France. The lad,
whose father is Dr. John Vincent,
a prominent physician of Boston,
ran away from home last April. He
took passage on the Arabic and
was penniless when he arrived in
Liverpool.
“It took me nine days to walk
to London,” said the youth. “I tried
to enlist in the King’s Royal Rifles,
but they refused me because I
looked too young. I took the train
to Folkestone, crossed the channel
to Boulogne, and finally arrived in
Paris.
“Now, say, don’t write this,”
pleaded the youthful adventurer,
‘ but I told them I was the nephew
of a prominent American. That
satisfied the inquisitive ‘ginks’ for
a while. They put me in the Boy
Scouts. For two months I was
taught how to ride horseback and
on a motorcycle. Finally they
sent me to the front.
"I was put to work carrying mes
vges between English pnd French
generals. Take it from me, I saw
some fighting. After several weeks
they found out that » -
erican so they sent me to a deten
tion camp at Boulogne.
"Finally the consul at Calais got
permission from the State Depart
ment to send me home. Here I
am and take it from me I certainly
am glad.”
The boy’s happiness was uncon
fined yet he expressed fear over
tho reception awaiting him at home.
Tho ho had tempted death time
and again on the battelfrdnt he
showed nervousness at any refer
ence to his father.
“I guess its a good old fashioned
spanking for mine,” he said.
The boy’s face took on a serious
expression when ho said spanking
might be his lot. He looked as
if he knew it would happen.
