Guggenheims Declare War
From Friday*8 Bulletin.
A new and interesting phase has
been injected into the local railway
situation. Evidently the trust is
greatly angered over Reynold’s pre
aiiinption in poaching on their private
preserves. Word has come over the
wires from Seattle to the effect that
the Northwestern will cut rates, and a
determined effort will be made by the
Trust to put the A. C. boats out of
tb<‘ Alaska business.
l'be Guggenheim* have entirely
ignored the Reyuolds proposition to
tieat them squarely in the matter of
Right of Way aud Reynolds has ac
cepted the gage of battle and wilt fight
with all his resources to not only
ci ntiuue his steaniahip line, but build
h iailroad and make the Guggenheim
occupancy of the Territory of Alaska
h- warm as possible.
1'his morning the Reyuolds Bank
I egau business, aud as the paper goes
to press already has nearly $100,000.00
deposited by local people. The com
bined resources of Reynolds allied in
terests are over fourteen millions, and
with the good will of Alaskans to back
him up there is not the slightest ques
tion as to the outcome of tbo battle
Nelson the contractor returned this
morning from a tour of the Sound with
about eighty new men for the r->ad and
twelve others came from Seward
Antouelle has been instructed or wire
to remain in Seattle uni il he cm .-end
at least 1500 laborers for the road The
uecessary railway supplies aie being
rapidly gathered together in Seattle
and tbo Ohio will sail loaded to the
guards.
The great shipping firm or Frank
Watethouse has wired their willingness
to enter into an amalgamation with t lie
Keynolds system,withdrawing from the
• iuggenheim outfit and Eastern friends
of Reynolds are wiring tinauei 1 sup
port.

outfit in many mouths time.
Col. Swanitz wired his resignation to
day to the Yaldez-Yukon outfit and
has accepted a position with Reynolds
as Consulting Engineer
Every shipper in Valdez, Seward and
Prince William Sound have contracted
with Reynolds to ship at least seventy
five per cent of their freight l y those
steamers for a period ol three years,
and each becomes financially inteies»od
in the enterprise Phi* makes the A C.
Company a home line in every sense of
the word, and if the (fiiggei heims are
so dense as to snppo.-e that Alaskans
are going to nibble at their bait, they
have much to learn T. ey wiil find
out for once that mere millions
will not suffice against the united com
reunify of real men and women. The
local sentiment is entirely with Rey
nolds in the tight, and every man,
woman and child in this section will
back him up.
Two fast wooden shins will he added

can be bought around the lb rn at <1 tl e
