NORTHWESTERN IS
TOSSED III STORM
Waves Broke Over Vessel While Rid
ing Outside Hinchinbrook Oa|»e
Yesterday Morning.
•
The steamer Northwestern, the
Alaska Steamship company’s liner,
arrived early this morning, having
been delayed several hours off Cape
Hinchinbrook in a fog. Capthin
Hunter reported very bad weather,
the worst he has ever seen in Alaskan
waters. He states that at 7 o’clock
yesterday morning while off Hinchin
brook that the steamer ran into a fog
and snowstorm which was so dense
that he was unable to pick up the
cape for several hours.
The storm was so severe that it
was impossible for anyone to stand
on deck and the seas repeatedly
broke over the vessel. The steamer
handled herself well in the storm un
til the fog lifted and the officers
sighted the cape.
The Northwestern carries a big
cargo of freight for westward points,
having fifteen hundred tons of rail
road material for the Alaskan Engi
neering commission at Anchorage,
making the date of the steamer’s re
turn to Valdez uncertain as condi
tions for discharging cargo at the
Cook Inlet point are not of the best
at present.
The Northwestern was drydocked
in Seattle since she made her last
trip to Alaska and was given a thor
ough cleaning, enabling her to make
good time. Those acquainted with
the history of the Northwestern,
which is generally alluded to as the
old Northwestern, are at a loss to un
derstand how the steamer came to
be designated as the ancient mem
ber of the Alaska fleet. As a matter
of fact, the Northwestern is not as
old as the Mariposa, Alameda, City
of Puebla, and many other vessels on
the Alaska run. When the North
western was drydocked after her mis
hap at Latouche ninety new plates
were put in, practically making her
a new hull.
Following is the list of incoming
passengers on the Northwestern: A.
0. Stahl, Mrs Stahl and three chil
dren; Father R. J. Cremont, S.
Smith, S. A. Fisher and Wm. Malon
ey. When the Northwestern left Se
attle she carried fifty-five first and
eighteen steerage passengers for
Alaska.
The regular Saturday evening
Moose dance will be held this eve
ning. All invited and a good time
assured.
In the debate held last night at Ev
eryman’s Clubhouse the judges ren
dered a decision in favor of the neg
ative. The judges were Mr Elliott,
Mr. Goodwin and Prof. Davis. There
was a fair-sized audience. The ques
tion debated was: “Resolved, That
the United States shoul^ increase her
Army and Navy. The affirmative
was taken by John Meals, Ruth Selby
and Upton Merrifleld. The negative
was upheld by Mrs. Dunstan, Elmer
Kidwell and Earl Wathey. While the
decision of the judge was awaited,
an extemporaneous debate was held,
the question being, “Resolved, That
General Carranza is greater than
Shakespeare.” Fred Fish upheld Car
ranza and Emmet Egan Shakespeare.
SEWARD DISCHARGING
CARGO AT ANCHORAGE.
The freighter Cordova, of the Alas
ka Steamship company line, which
was buffeted by «torm and tide ’when
she tried to enter Cook Inlet last
week and lost her anschors in trying
to ride out the storm, secured an an
chor from the freighter Latouche
and immediately went back to An
chorage.
Latest advices from Anchorage
state that the freighter is success
fully discharging her freight there,
and that with the exception of losing
her anchors she suffered no damage
through her encounter with the
storm
Before the gangplank ia on the deck,
Joe is there your baggage to check.
He knows Just where you want to go,
And his auto bus is not so slow.
When leaving Valdez it is Just as well
To wait until you hear Joe’s bell.
He never yet has missed a boat
But connects with all that ever floats.
Joe never sleeps day or night,
He does his best to treat you right.
The traveling public Well can bless
The man who runs the City Express.
All you do—Just Phone Bight Two,
The City Express will see you thru.

KANSAS CITY 10
Alaska Steamship Company will Re
cliristen the Vessel After She
Is Remodeled in Seattle.
Captain Hunter, of the Steamer
Northwestern, reports that the steam
er Kansas City was in Cordova yes
terday and left last evening for An
chorage. The Kansas City carries a
cargo of nearly three thousand tons
for Anchorage, most of the freight
being consigned to the Alaskan En
gineering commission.
The Kansas City was recently pur
chased by the Alaska Steamship com
pany for service in the Southwestern
Alaska trade and owing to the he ivy
demands fnr freight space to Ciok
inlet ncir.tf. .-ent the steamer out a»
n freightei immediately after her ar
rival at Puget Sound from the south.
Passengers on the Northwestern
and Admiral Evans who were given
an opportunity of inspecting the
Kansas City, state that she has mag
nificent passenger accommodations,
and as a freight carrier will exceed
any vessel plying the waters of Alas
ka It is stated that her tonnage
will be nearly that of the Alameda
and Mariposa combined.
The Alaska Steamship company
has decided to change the name of
the Kansas City after she is remod
eled and will christen her Alaska
She will be the only large vessel bear
ing the honored name and it is fitting
that the Alaska should be the largest
boat on the northward run.
