Pacific Coast Steamship Line Will Ex
tend Operations To Southwest
ern Alaska.
SEATTLE, May 7.—It is reported
here today that the Pacific Coast
Steamship company, now operating
steamers in Southeastern Alaska and
also from this port to San Francisco,
will extend their service to South
western Alaska starting about the
middle of next month. The investiga
tion made by the officials of the
company has led them to expect a
constant travel this year into the
Cook Inlet country and also heavy
freight shipments.
It is also expected that a number
of tramp freighters will cut into the
business as soon as the railroad ship
ments are gathered and the commis
sion is ready to handle any amount
of freight at Anchorage.
The Alaska Steamship line with its
big ore freighters going north for ore
will, however, be in a position to hold
down the tramp boats while the pas
senger boats of the Admiral Line and
Alaska Steamship company line are
expected to secure the bulk of all pas
senger business.
