aaaouueement of bis company in
putting on additional bhips to care
for the Alaska tourist business
which is increasing rapidly as well
as to properly take care of tbe
regular northern patronage of the
company.
"Should the company Increase the

worth four million dollars, and the

day, The Maharaja himself was not
aboard at the time.
"IX mora boats are put on the

"It is erld«nt," continued Mr.!
Lowle, "that the C. P. R. la da-1

has therefore decided, so a® Jiot!
to sligV its Alaska business, to i
make tnia Increase In serrice.
"it is quite generally understood,
■ from the great number of Inquiries
: that are being made relative to tho j
Alaska 'our, that the trend of ^
| tourist travel to Alaska during ^
the coming season -will be evwi
greater than It was last year. Tho (1
European war will deter many from C
crossing the Atlantic, and the tray- C
ellng public will look to the s
north for recreation. Indications b
point to an earlier season than the . fj
month of June, and many inquiries J fi
relative to the June schedule have
already been received."
In closing air. liowle said,
am in no position to state when
the new schedule will become
fective, but believe that it will be
early in the season."
