THE COMMITTEE:
As a result of about two hours'
soliciting yesterday by the finance
committee of the Fourth of July cel
ebration Treasurer Van de Wall is
today going around jingling $350 !
"iron men" in his "poke."
We are a little dubious about
the committee being able to entirely
fill the emptiness of the treasurer's |.
"poke," but believe if they succeed 11
in getting it half full they will have j,
ill the money they need to insure
the giving of generous prizes to thc|j
contestants in the athletic events ||
besides furnishing all kinds of enter
tainment for the visitors who will !j
be here.
The committee will bo around It
again in a day or so to round up !|
those whom they have not yet seen. I]
The Spokane will bo in Skagway :i
fit 3 p. m. tomorrow with IS pass-lj
engers, about 50 tourists and 4f> I!

Join, H. Bunch, general freight
and nassenger agent of the Alaska
Steamship Company, recently an
nounced that the steamship Mari
posa, flagship of the fleet, on her
voyage beginning at Seattle June 12,
will be sent through to Cook inlet,
inaugurating the company's first
regular freight and passenger ser
vice to Kink anchorage, says the
Seattle P. I. of June 9th.
The steamship Alameda, sailing
Irom Seattle on June 18, will also
go though to Cook inlet, and in the
future these two fast vessels will
maintain regular services to West
ern Alaska in connection with their
voyages to Seward.
The steamship Northwestern, now
on a special voyage to Knik anchor
age, after the completion of her
present voyage will be returned to
the Seuttle-Seward route.
The direct service from Seattle to
Cook inlet is in addition to the con
nection made at Seward by vessels
of the Southwetern Alaska fleet
with, the steamship Dirigo, of the
Alaaka Steamship company, which
sails on regular schedule for the
westward from Seward, going as
far as Knik anchorage.
The Alameda and Mariposa are
the fastest vessels of the Alaska
Steamship company's fleet, and of
ficials of the company believe that
they will be able to add over 600
miles to the route served by the
two liners and still maintain the
present service between Seattle and
Southeastern and Southwestern Alas
ka ports.
