TO STOP IT
Americans Cannot Carry Ca
nadian Goods
The Canadian government has issued
an order which will stop the shipment
of Canadian goods In American bottoms
from Victoria and Vancouver to St. Mi
chael to be put in bond at that place
place for shipment to Dawson. It is
believed that this order will cause all
the Canadian goods that go to Dawson
to come through Skagway and over the
W. P. & Y. U. What this means to
the transportation lines operating in
Southeastern Alaskan waters and using
the Skagway route to the interior may
be fully understood when It is consider
ed that from May 1 to October 31 last
year, 6460 tons of Canadian goods were
shipped from Vancouver to Dawson via
St. Michael in American vessels.
The only fear expressed by American
steamship men, whose ioterosts are
contined to the Southeastern route, is
that the Canadian government might
attempt to apply the same rule to the
traffic between Vancouver and Skag
way, and thus shut American boats out
of the Canadian traffic on this route.
