ALASKA STEAMERS
Alameda Flrat to Make Call at Wran
gell—Boats to Leave Seattle 10th,
20th and 30th Each Month.
.The steamer Alameda, of the Alas
ka Steamship company, was the first
boat to make the new ports of call
added to the scehedule of the com
pany boats in Southeastern Alaska.
The Alameda called at Wrangell and
Petersburg and came through Wran
gell narrows. Heretofore the boats
have gone around Cape Deception,
losing seven hours, but now the boats
will go through the narrows and the
shorter distance will more than make
up for the loss in making the two
additional landings.
General Agent ’ifracy, when seen
by a representative of the Prospect
or, stated that the business of the
company in Southeastern Alaska has
increased greatly and that the steam
er Jefferson would hereafter ply be
tween Seattle and juneau only, while
the Dolphin would continue to make
Skagway a port of call.
The Southwestern Alaska boats
will call ht all ^the Southeastern
Alaska ports on the up and down
trips. Under the new schedule the
boats will le ve S attle on the 10th,
20th and 30th of each month.

i watch and the diamond fob, but soon

chosen sentences thanked the citizens
for the token and said that he al
ways hoped to merit the'r good will
