Alaska Steam Plans
Seattle Departure
For Early June
The Alaska Steamship Company
has announced its first sailing to
Nome on one of their new Liberty
ships, which has been renamed

“Operation of a vessel of this
size makes possible greater utili
zation of cribs and shipper
strapped pallets, stated agent J.
O'Sullivan. Cribs, he states, have
..proved themselves time and time
*again in the protection of mer
lidhandise, and this year the tar
Jiffs provide for an allowance in
3 freight charges, making possible
* further savings to those whose
1 shipments moved in cribs or on
• shippers’ pallets.
I Freight for the first boat is
f being accepted at the Ames Ter
jminal from May _J8th through
^May 29. The Nenana will call at
