■MIL LINE STEAMERS
TO BE PAINTED BLACK
The Admiral Line steamers will
soon be adorned in a new dress—
or color- black.
The green shade which has
marked all of the Pacific Steam
ship company vessels for the past
15 years, a familiar sight in every
port in Alaska, will soon be a
thing of the past.
The H. F. Alexander will pro
bably be the first one to break
out in the new color, about May
9, and thereafter the others boats
of the fleet operating along the
Pacific Coast and to Alaska, will
be painted black whenever the
opportunity offers.

HEAVY BOOKINGS
According to the advance book
ings made by the Seattle office
of the Alaska Steamship company
the tourist travel to Alaska this
summer will break all past re
cords. A great deal of this due,
it is said, to the big campaign
of advertising which has been
promoted by various Ala'ska trans
portation companies, while the
tourists who have been in Alaska
have aided in spreading fame of
the Territory’s scenery through
out the country.

FISH HOOK IN EYE
W. H. Liebe of Cordova had a
narrow ecsape from losing the
sight of one eye, last week, when
a large fish hook became lodged
in the flesh just below the eye. A
hook flew out of the netting he
had thrown across his shoulder
and it was necessary to file the
shank off the hook before it
could be extracted.
The ice hasn’t “gone out” of
Bear lake according to visitors who
mushed over to the popular sum
mer outing spot Sunday. The lake
is entirely covered with ice and
snow, excepting for a very small
opening at the outlet.

THE TENNIS COURT
The local tennis court suffered
more the past winter from the
elements, and by human agencies,
than for many years past and at
the present time presents a most
unlovely sight. The treasury of *
the S. A. C., is not sufficient to
fix up the ball grounds, the beach
at Harriman lake, and the tennis
court so it is hoped the city coun
cil will take care of the play-field,
(the tennis court), or perhaps the
volunteer fire department boys
might come to the rescue.
