RATES HIGHER
THIS SEASON
Incomplete freight tariff lists for the
present season show a smart raise in
rates all along the line. The flat rate
to Rampart remains at $58, the same as
last year; but the list of exceptions
seems to have been greatly increased
and the percentages made higher all
through the list.
So far as we are aware no complete
list of exceptions has been received here.
The following, however, will give a
pretty fair idea of the general run of
rates. The figures represent percent
ages above the flat rate of $58:

Rumors of Competition.
Competition from various sources in
the interior carrying trade lias been
threatened—or at least rumored—lmt up
to the present time general knowledge of
the matter seems to he indefinite.
From Portland comes the announce
ment that the Merchants and Miners
Transportation Company, a new concern
composed of eastern capitalists, has pur
chased two Columbia river vessels and
one from San Francisco for use this
season on the Yukon. If this report
proves true, it is likely the boats named
«ill run only between St. Michael and
the Tanana.
From Augusta, Me., comes news of
the organization of the Yukon-Alaska
Transportation Company, with Lewis
Burleigh as president, to operate be
tween Seattle and Nome and to provide
transportation by land and water for
interior jsiints. This coinpnny could
scarcely cut any figure the present
seas* in.
Rumors of certain other merged in
terests entering the Yukon tratlie are
not followed by posjth,. statements, and
it seems very prohable that there will
Is- nothing unusual in the carrying situ
ation this year.
