OUT OF THE STEAMBOAT
BUSINESS
__ i
The announcement in yes
terday’s Miner that the Border
Line Transportation Company
had stated that the Northland
would sail from Seattle on the
first trip under new c’.vnership,
brings to mind the fact that
the Northland Steamship Com
pany was, up to the tim 3 of the
recent transfer, strictly a Ket
chikan institution. From a
small beginning in the hands
of H. C. Strong and his assiu
ciates, it had grown into an
institution doing hundreds os
thousands of dollars in busin
ess annually. In fact, it had.
grown to such a point that i|
had gotten beyond being hand!
ed from this end and Mr;
Strong was confronted by one
of two alternatives, either that
he move to Seattle and there
that the complete management
of the business, or else as he
did, dispose of the greater pari
of his holdings as far as the
steamship business is concern
ed and remain in Ketchikan.
Several of the different
steamship and transportation
companies desired to get con
trol of the Northland Steam
ship company, and made ten
tative offers to that company
for its boats and business,
but a sale to any one of these
companies would have result
ed in the elimination of the
actual competition in the trans
portation game which the ex
istence of the Northland
Steamship company had cre
ated. Mr. Strong therefore prt>
fered to dispose of his interest
to some company that would
conduct an independent line
and the Border Line company,
managed by the DotJwells, fills
the hill, and there will he no
change in the policy ns here
tofore in force. D. \V. Hunt
will be the Ketchikan agent for
the Border Line company, and
the vessels of that line will
land at the Northland Dock.
In disposing tof his iiiteresl
in the transportation line, Mr.
Strong has placed himself in
a better position than ever to
work for Ketchikan and the
Ketchikan district, in the futur,•
of which he has unlimited
faith.

ROAD APPROPRIATIONS
WILL SOON BE READY
It '.vas pointed out to the
r i a tew ay today that the appro
priations for road work in Al
aska will soon be ready am.
that, much work may be pos
sible on the Seward-lditarod
trail yet this winter. Tin
amount recommended for road
work in the territory this yeai
was $125,000. A telegram It
this paper some days ago said
I hat the money twill probably
be ready very soon. What Is
aSked at present however, foi
ihe mail route from this town
is only a very small sum which
is likely to have been left over
from last year’s appropriation.

Speaking of the resignation
of Manager Wiley of the Ad
tniral Line, an exchange says:
“It is rumored that Wiley
has sold 'his stock in the com
pany to a group of cupalist>
who are anxious to expand th<
ousiiiess in preparation for the
!»ig rush expected to Alaska
next spring. The Admiral Line
may purchase several new
steamers for the Alaska run
;nd a new boat for the San
Francisco run. The officials
if the company refuse to make
any statement except L
onfirm the announcement of
the resignaion of Mr. Wiley.

An entirely new system of
railroads in Alaska will have
lo he built on the assumption
that the pioneer 'builders who
constructed l‘he Alaska North
ern overlooked tonnage pos
sibilities; that they did not
build on the best routes, or else
on the assumption that by
,government edict another
route can be made just as
good. Mr. Morgan plainly
told the secretary thut the Al
aska syndicate was not in
!ove with the railroad busin
ess in Alaska. It operates a
■ail road to get out its coppei
oi’c only because no one else
<'an. The syndicate, he said,
is more intent on mining
lhan on railroading. If it were
assured of transportation for
its ore at a reasonable price
;t. would be quite \villin,g to let
fhe government have the road
it a 'bargain sale or lease.—-Ex.

TO OUR CUSTOMERS
On and after this date the
Tongass Trading company ^vill
sell lor cash only.
Why?
A great many people have
naver sboped to consider what
the credit system really means.
Let us tell you.
Experience has shown us that
bhe credit system is disastrous
to the consumer for the sim
ple reason that there are
bound tio be more or less los
ses in any business conducted
under this system, and these
losses must be paid by the con
sumer. In this way you are not
only paying your onw accounts
but you are paying your share
of the bad accounts that the
merchant has on his books.
Th-e credit system is disastrous
to the merchant, for if he
does not add these losses bo
the price of the goods that mg
cash customers are paying for,
lie will sooner or later have
to close his doors in bank
ruptcy.
We are adopting the cash
system for the reason that wo
do not want you to pay for any
other goods than your own.
We want to be in a position to
offer you the best that the
market affords for cash, at a
price that is determined by the
actual value of the goods that
you are buying and paying for.
We can give you better goods
better prices and better serv
ice than ever before and it
will bo money in your pocket
bo give this matter your con
sideration.
We are still the old reliable.
