TWO ARE GLAD
THAT ALASKA
HAS GONE DRY
Steamship agents seem glad that
Alaska is dry. At least this is true
of t\\o of the agents of the Alaska
Steamship company, according to the
following in the Seattle Post-Intelli
gencer, referring to the last trip of
he Jo (for son north .
Joseph Harris, assistant superin
• tendent of the company, and George
! K. Tallmage, claim agent, silently
. hook hands, and quietly voiced their
thanks. Booze and the transporta
tion of the commodity is what has
proved the bane of their existence for
I these many months past, and hereaf
ter their troubles are apparently at
an end.
No more liquor can now be shipped
to Alaska. On January 1, the Alaska
territorial bone-dry law becomes ef
fective, and the steamship Jefferson,
sailing yesterday, took up the last
consignment of the soon to be con
traband liquid that can possibly reach
an Alaskan port before,the prohibit
ory men * ire becomes effective at mid
night, December «*»l.
Since the State of Washington went
dry on January 1, If)18, every liquor
shipment to Alaska, shipped by way
rf the Alaska Steamship company ve*
Is, has been a nightmare to both of
vhem. Shipments consigned to Alas
a and coming principally from Calif
ornia, have invariably been reported
hurt on arriving at the port of des
i nation.
Shortage Bring Giiel
Shortage m freight consignments is
he banc of the shipping operative. It
ntails innumerable details in the ef
lort to trace the missing portions of
hipments. and shortage of liquor
hipped through dry territory, n oc

curring thci-e, is practically impossible;
i to trace.
According to Messrs. Harris and
Fallmage. liquor shipments most fre
quently arrive in Seattle short, and
1 on top of that there is an additional
shortage reported on its a’rival at an
Alaskan port, indicating that raids
ai*c made on such shipments both be
fore reaching Seattle and either at tin*
wharf or aboard the vessel enroute
I north.
"I do not believe that more than lf>
per cent, of the liquor shipments sent
toy way of oui vessels to Alaska des-;
* lination^ in the past two years have
reached their destination intact,” de
clared Mr. Harris yesterday. “How
ever, on this score we have found that
; the biggest percentage ot the ship
I meats have been handed over to us
| short of the original amount sent out
of California or Montana."
Difficult to Locate C ulprits •
“We have tried every methid known
! to us to discover the guilty partiesj
responsible for these shortages, and
have only succeeded in apprehending
the culprits in veiy few instances. No!
| other class of freight ever suffered
the depredations that the liquor has,|
| and for this reason you may be sure;
i we arc much relieved at the ban now
placed on such shipments. We can
now refuse to handle any more liquor,
since we have no vessel out of here
which will reach an Alaskan port be
j fore tin* prohibition act becomes ef
fective there."
