| Seward. The Oregon once came in a
i few hour- under six days but the Sara- ’
toga has lowered the record by several
hour*. This is the result ol cutting
lout all the little stops which have
heretofore caused the big steamers to
Isoend two or three days on the way
trom Valdez to Seward.
The Saratoga was put on the dry
does at Quartermaster Harbor near
I'ucoma. at tin* end of Iter last trip
down, and fresh paint was substituted
I for the barnacles and seaweed which
had accumulated on her bottom since
>he came around the Horn. She is un
doubtedly one of the fastest boats on
the I’acilic when in good trim.

bridge timber for the Alaska Central
and about ninety tons of general mer
chandise. She will sail on her return
trip early tomorrow morning.

■ day morning at 4 o'clock.
