HEAVY SNOWFALL
VISITS THE COAST
8torm Is General Along the Coast and
Extends Into Interior, Where
Weather Is Colder.
The old saw that when March comes
in like a lamb it will go out like a
lion held true this year so far as the
coast section of Alaska was concern
ed. March 1 was one of the pleasant
est days of early spring, with the mer
cury standing at 35 above and a clear
sun shining. March 31 was just the
reverse, and April, as far as it has
gone, shows no signs of improving.
The snowfall during the past 24 hours
has been the heaviest of the winter
and will furnish property owners with
plenty of exercise in removing it from
the sidewalks.
The storm is general all over the
coast section and extends into the in
terior, as will be seen by the weath
er report in another column. The
officers of the Northwestern report
a heavy fall of snow visiting Cordova
when the steamer was there yester
day afternoon.
SEATTLE STREET
CARS RUNNING
Employes of Company Return To
Work Pending Peaceful Settle
ment of the Strike.
SEATTLE, April 1.—The strike of
the Seattle Electric Street Railway
company employes was of short dura
tion, as the men returned to work
yesterday afternoon pending negotia
tions for settlement of the demands
of the men. All cars are running on
schedule time with the old crews.
The officials of the company assert
that they are unable to meet the de
mands of the men owing to the rev
enues of the company having been
greatly reduced by the jitney busses,
and have referred me mater to the
company’s headquarters in Boston.
The conductors and motormen are al
so asking recognition of their union
by the company and will attempt to
have union men employed exclusive
ly.
SEATTLE, April 1.—The steamer
Mariposa sailed for Alaska last night,
having been detained one day
through her late arrival from the
north last trip. When the steamer
left Seattle she carried two hundred
and fifty passengers for the north,
many of whom are going to Juneau.
The passengers for Valdez are: W.
B. Morgan, Mrs. N. Morgan, N. Nor
gard, P. Guirard, W. Beloin, J. B.
Eschilimen, and eleven in the steer
age.
Robert Kelsey and Ed. Hunt re

NORTHWESTERN IS
LIKE NEW VESSEL
Reache* Valdez On Fir»t Trip After
Being Overhauled—Double Bulk
heads Provide Safety.
The steamer Northwestern arrived
in Valdez shortly before noon today,
having been delayed by the heavy
weather. A storm was raging at Cor
dova when the steamer left at 5
o’clock last evening but the captain
hoped that it would subside before
reaching Valdez. During the night he
was unable to pick up land and drift
ed until morning, being unable to find
safe anchorage in the storm.
Since being in Valdez the North
western has been overhauled and re
fitted at a cost of $80,000. She was
converted into an oil burner and pro
vided with double bulkheads, making
her one of the safest vessels plying
the waters of the Pacific.
When the Northwestern left Seat
tle she carried one of the heaviest
passenger lists of any steamer during
the season. Her passengers from
Seattle for Valdez were: George Ho
bart, M. O. Goodner, Mrs. Goodner, B.
F. Towle, and twenty-three steerage.
