White Pass Will Make Interior Peo
ple Pay for Cost of Rate War
—Jump Prices Skyward.
DAWSON, Yi T., April 16.—The
White Pass & Yukon railroad, hav
ing purchased ^the Northern Com~
merlcal company, the effect Is begin
ning to be felt in this city, where
prices have jumped skyward so that
the corporation may recuperate for
the losses of the past season, when
freight was carried at a loss and
merchandise sold below cost.
The price of all foods in storage
in this city have been jumped 25
per cent above the winter price of
the past three years. The White
Pass storehouse and store is closed
and the Northern Commercial com
pany only is doing business. Pota
toes. are now selling at 12 cents a
pound. Hay and grain has taken a
jump of 25 per cent and hay now sells
for $80 a ton, whereas previous to
the consolidation it was on the mar
ket at $60.
Several independent merchants will
operate boats from St. Michael this
coming summer, as they fear because
of the consolidation that the trans
portation companies will not bring
freight for independents, but will de
lay it and hold it back at lower
river points.
The local Chamber of Commerce
will demand a government investiga
tion into the methods of the trans
portation and mercantile trust of the
White Pass & Y’ukon railroad.
