Panama canal, for the Pacific (-oast,
arriving in Seattle about February 10th.

\ steamers Admiral Sampson and S. S.

! the steamers Admiral Evans and Ad
j miral Watson, effective February 1st,
j on a ten-day schedule, sailings from
j Tacoma and Seattle on t he o'b.. 15th.
i and 25tn. of each month, calling at all
i regular ports of call. Port to port
j schedule to be published later. Before
being placed in this service, both ves
sels will be thoroughly overhauled and
| refitted, w ith especial attention to be
• to the the wants and comforts of the
I Alaska travel.The passenger accommo
jdations will be practically rebuilt and
: many new features will be added and
j improvements made that will make
j both vessels attractive u> the traveling
* pnhlic. Both vessels are oil burners
j and absolutely double bottom through
I out and are especially adapted for the
i Southwestern and the Southeastern
route.
In order to facilitate the plans it be
come absolutely neccessary to with
draw the Admiral Sampson from the
1 run effective with tin* return of the
! vessel to Seattle this present trip.
Upon arrival In Seattle, it will replace
ihe S. S. Beckman on the Seattle-San
! Francisco route and that vessel will go
j into the hands of the contractors for
making of the changes as'stated above.
! ITnder its new name of the Admiral
1 Evans.it will make its initial trip to
I Alaska on February 5th. The Admiral
! Dewey and tlie Admiral Schley arriv
i on the tenth, the Admiral Sampson
! will sail from Seattle for Alaska ports
| on the fifteenth of February, where
! with the Admiral Evans, it will keep*
I the schedule until the Admiral Wat
ison can be placed in commission which
will be about April 15th.
In giving the above detailed account
of plans, the Alaska Coast Company
: feels that an explanation is due to its
j patrons who have so faithfully sup
] ported it in the past and furthermore
■ it has always been the policy of the
! company to be very frank with its pat
rons and the public in general and for
this reason it has eudeavored to ex
plain very thoroughly the matter of
its intentions concerning the South
! western Alaska route, as well as its
| plans for making these changes with
! the idea of showing the impossibility
; of keeping the Sampson on the run and
being ready for the demands of patrons
in the early spring rush. lTp to with
