ADMIRAL EVANS
GOES TO WEST
Boat Was Loaded and Unable To Take
Passengers From Here to the
Westward.
The steamer Admiral Evans, in
command of Captain Hickman, reach
ed Valdez at 11 o'clock last night
and sailed west shortly after 1. The
Evans brought fifty tons of freight to
Valdez for local merchants. The
steamer carried all the passengers
possible and the local agents sold on
ly a few tickets from Valdez to the
westward, as the steamer had no ac
commodations for westward passen
gers.
The Evans will go to Ship Creek,
now called Anchorage or Woodrow
Creek, and will call at Seldovia and
Port Graham. The boat will go as
far west as Kodiak, returning next
Tuesday or Wednesday.
Purser Kehoe reports that the in
dications in Seattle point to the
largest northward travel this year
since the days of the Klondike rush.
“Part of the northern passengers will
be men who intend to settle in Alas
ka or work on the railroad, while
many round trip passengers will tour
the north and view the scenery of
Alaska,” said Mr. Kehoe.
