STEAMSHIP RATES
NOT TO BE RAISED
ON ALASKA ROUTES
The movement of the steamship
companies operating to Alaska to
raise the prevailing freight and pas
se nger rates has been blocked by the
I government according to cable advices
H reived in Seward by the Gateway.
The government is understood to
have expressed satisfaction with the
rates now being secured and there is
said to be no chance for a raise at
the present time.
Several weeks ago it was stated
I that owing to the high cost of labor,
i supplies, etc., a sharp advance would
be made in both freight and passen
ger rates. One rumor was that the
passenger rate between Seattle and
Seward would reach $75. It is known
that for the past month, government
experts connected with the Interstate
Commerce Commission, have been at
work in coast towns upon the hooks,
of ihe steamship companies and very
probably their reports have convinced
the commision that the people are;
paying sufficient at the present with
the added war tax.

My prices are uniform as near as pos
sible. I don’t advertise specials to sell at
no profit. If I did. I would have to add the
cost to other goods.
I do not ask 50 per cent profit to other
goods to sell some at cost in order to make
the public believe that I am giving them liar
gains. The size of the package or can will
speak for itself.
Conservation means “Quantity and
