New C. P. R. "Princess"
Pays Skagway Initial Visit
I
At a few minutes before seven
)'clock Wednesday morning the soft
nellodious whistle of the Princess
-ouise echoed back and forth across
lie rocky walls of the valley, and
lie people of Skagway were awak
Mii'd to the pleasing sense of a per
ect day and the fact that the Can
idian Pacific Steamship company
md placed its newest acquisition in'
he line of ships at the service of its
lorthern patrons.
With Captain Slater, master of the
tew "Princess" at the helm, the
leuutiful craft Bteamed smoothly up
lie canal, and as she sidled up to
ler berth at Moore's wharf, bo qulet
y and smoothly did she ride, that It
ippeared to those watching her
Maneuver that the dock seemed to
>e going towards her, rather than
hat she was gliding gracefully to
vards the dock.
In recognition of this maiden vis
t to Skagway. the northern termin
il of the ship's course, huge Amer
ican and British flags were festoon
?d on the dock house immediately
opposite the pilot house and be
tween the flags an artistically paint
ed greeting which read, "Welcome
Princess Louise," waB hung. Sus
pended to this was a great gold key,
the master key to Skagway, which
tore the inscription "Princess, Here
Is the Key to Skagway."
Immediately upon docking the C.
P. R. House Flag was run afloat,
and this was quickly followed by
her gala dress, and in a tew mo
ments the beautlfui new craft took
on an appearance resembling a
blushing maiden, "all dressed up
ready to receive her beaux."
As soon as the formalities of the
customs had been complied with, the
people of Skagway took advantage
of the invitation to come aboard,
and until she sailed at 12:30 a. m.
an admiring crowd was constantly
coming and going, one and all of the
same opinion, that she was the fin
est boat which had ever visited the
port.
At 11:30 o'clock an Informal
luncheon was served in the spacious
dining hall to a few of the port and
White Pass officials.
At 2:30 o'clock in the afternoon
the ship was thrown open for a gen
eral inspection.
An Informal dance was given on
board between 8 o'clock and 12
midnight, to which the passengers
of the ship and official party acted
as hosts and hostesses, while the
people of Skagway were guests. The
music was furnished by the ship's
five-piece orchestra—piano, violin,
clarinet, saxophone and drums.
At one o'clock a tpecial train took
Captain Troup and vzrly to Summit,
and while the weather was perfect
for an early summer day. the beau
tleB of the trip could not be realized
as there is still considerable suowj|
up the valley. I
When Captain Troup took the re
presentative of the Daily Alaskan in
tow to show him the various ap
pointments of the ship, it was but a I
few moments until the scribe be
came so confused and bewildered
that be could not describe the beau
tifully appointed tridal suites, the <
spacious and luxuriously furnished
lounging and smoking room, the
cozy library, the observation rooms,
the social halls and the dining sa- '
loons. Time and space will not por
mit at: attempt to describe the
various color schemes, the lighting
and ventilating sytterns, the water |
and bath accommodations, nor the
spacious promenade decks and wind
protected cross-overs. All of these,
however, will tend to popularize this
ship, as Northerners appreciate the
good things in life, and show their
appreciation by patronage.
Hal Johnson, the popular local
agent of the C. P. R., is entitled to
go about today wearing a satisfied
smile, for the Princess Louise has
placed him in a. position to give nls
most exacting patrons the best that
the shipbuilding art can devise.
The official party spoken of in!
our advance story of the arrival of
the Princess Louise consisted of*
Captain J. W. Troup—Manager, C.
P. R.. B. C. service.
J. W. Brodie—C. P. R. general pas
senger agent.
James McGown—Surerintendent of

H. J. Maguire—District baggage
agent.

building & Drydock Co., build-;

William Howoe—Chief engineer of .
