TRY TO LOOK PLEASED
The Seattle papers are trying to aj>
pear pleased over the outcome of the
effort to get Portland into the Alaska
field. When the Northern Pacific an
nounced a special rate to Alaska ship
ments from Portland to he trans
shipped by steamer from Sound ports
the Seattle jobbers set up a roar about
'discrimination and the newspapers
started on the same tack. After mas
ticating the shred for a day or two a
better thought struck the editors and
they eetigratulated their local adver
tising patrons on the failure of Port.*
land to p< ' i steamer on tin* Alaska
run.
“It is ;i - re thing now." said the
Times and ‘.-I. in substance as they
teetered r.or\ e-ly upon the same
plank, ‘that Port and can never oper
ate a steamer line successfully to
Alaska, no. never, and the special rate
won't hurt Seattle much."
Nevertheless Seattle is plainly an
noyed by the effort of Portland to butt
in on Se.itt e preserves and by the
willingness of the Northern I acitic to
help. What the railroad company
w mts of course is to haul freight from
Portland to Seattle. The Times was
unable to get it' news and editorial
columns tn entire harmony on the
probable result. An editorial leader
pro' oil i bat Port land s effot t to g* f
\!:cku business is wholly inconse
quential. but in the news columns ap
pears the following under a top head
on the front page:
“To head off the possibility of th*
establishment of any steamship lines
from the Columbia river to Alaskan
points and toiiiwr as much as possi* i
:; . traffic to rail Un-s. the Nor
n Pacific made the fiat rate of 71
r, - r 100 pound- on goods shipped
i»y Portland merchant'’ to Alaska,
“ The freight charge, amounting to

whole-ab -s i-tened to speeches from
A askarts who declared the line would
pay and that Vlaska wanted Portland j
. . . s. No one volunteered to pay for |

••Now the Northern Pacific has come

by making a rate of 7 ce.tt- per Id"
pot'mis on freight between Portland
Puget Sound port-, hound to j
Alaska. Portland jobbers can do j
busine— under this rate.
The Seattle Post - Intelligencer!
b-M.nly affirm- that merchandise for
Alu-ka Iwught in Portland will cost
• ariy s_ a ton more than if bought in j
Seattle. Since when did goods cost j

EVAPORATED DREAM
A real luxury at the price of an econo
my. There is’more real nourishment in
St‘. Charles Cream than in ordinary milk
or cream at the same price, and it is twice
as delicate and appettziug.
In our 20 oz. size, we offer tv can
considerably larger than the ordi
nary Family size; St. Charles
Cream is full strength—no thin,
watery preparation of weak quality.
; It never curdles or sours, and contains
all the richness of pure, unsweetened,
sterilized cream. Seientific
Bally prepared, it may he used
for invalids or infants—for
dessert or ordinary cookery
with same satisfactory results.
