\DMIRAL OFFICERS DENY
LIBELING ANCHORAGE
Last week the Anchorage Times
came out in a statement from a pas
senger on on®of the Admiral Line
boats who said that the officers of
that popular liner had made dero
gatory statements regarding the per
manency of the now populous rail
road town. I'pon the arrival of the
Watson at that port. Agent Watson ’
of the company,, at the request of sev
eral citizens, interviewed Capt. Mc
Kay, who stated that the report was
erroneous, as the officers and crews
on the Admiral Line steamers had
adopted the policy of never compar
ing one town with another and made
it a point never to get into discus
sion in regard to the respective iner
its of the various towns their steamer
visited: in fact Capt. McKay said if
the officers ever talked about an Al
askan city was to boost. The Cap
tain stated that if such a statement
came from anybody it would be
found to be an irresponsible party
with little regard tor the truth.
So far as the Prospector lias been
able to learn from interviews with
passengers on Alaskan steamers, the
officers and crews have been- rather
the reverse than derogatory in speak
ing of Alaskans and Alaskan towns.
With unfailing courtesy they have
many times corrected exaggerated
impressions in regard to the terri
tory and have endeavored at all times
to confine themselves to facts with
out prejudice, and with a good word
for all. Every once in a while some
over-zealous citizen of an Alaskan
town tires a broadside at the steam
ship men over alleged unfair remarks
concerning some locality, but in ev
ery instance it has been found that
the charges against the officials were
untrue, and that the remarks attri
buted to the steamship boys had em
anated from some zealous townsite
booster aboard and that in every in
stance the steamship men had given
accurate and reliable information on
the subject.
Mrs. Mabel I. Smith left on the
Alameda for Cordova this morning,
where she will accept a position as
pianist at the Empress theatre at that
place. Mrs. Smith has won much fav
orable comment here by her ability
as a pianist, she having acted in that
capacity at the Empress theatre in
this city for the past month.
