The 1922 tax rate was 18 mills,
or one mill less than the rate fixed
this morning. The increase was made
necessary, it was stated, by Mayor

rent rate case, decided in favor of

T. M. Reed and taken to the Appel

NEW STEAMER ALASKA MAKES
HIT WITH ALASKANS; ENGINES
WORK PERFECTLY; RUNS SMOOTH
“Oh, Boy, but she is a great ship."
"A regular floating palace.”
“A splendid liner, the best we liavt
ever had on these waters."
The above are only a few of the
many expressions of delight given
by Alaskans at the various town*
| to the westward on the visit of the
new steamer Alaska now making hei
i maiden trip to the north,
i The Alaska arrived in port fron
the westward at 7 o’clock last nighi
and sailed south shortly after 1(
o’clock.
At all ports visited, the new steam
er was Inspected by •he resident!
and only words of praise were spok
en. The hot and cold water in al
staterooms, the large number o:
shower bath or tub bath stateroom!
and large commodious suites seeinei
to appeal to the visitors aboard tin
ship and the observation room, smok
, Ing room, spacious decks and hole
I dining room brought forth favorabli
I comment from all.
I On the trip to Alaska, which is
,’ practically a trial trip, the steamei
| is behaving “beautifully" as Capt
l(lus Nord says. The Alaska is aver
aging If) knots an hour with onl>
four of the six boilers being fired
; The steanjer rides easily and smooth
ly, there being little vibration and
will be almost entirely eliminated
when the engines have become ir
regular running order. Perhaps or
the present lay over at Seattle, new
propellers, four-bladed ones, will re
place the present three blade wheels
and better speed will be made. Child
Engineer Oscar Johnson says he will
within a few' more trips, have the
Alaska’s engines turning over for a
j speed of 17 knots an hour and pos
'sibly 18 knots.
Service Excellent
Notwithstanding the Alaska was
rushed Into commission, the service
aboard is excellent, according to the
passengers. Chief Steward Arthur
Payne, working under difficulties of
having new equipment, larger quar
Iters and a larger Torre, id giving
splendid service aboard and the pas
, Hangers never realize that the ship
I is on a first trip, so creditable is
tlie treatment in the dining room.
| Special menus were prepared appar
ently as easily as if the Alaska iiad
been in commission for years.
Although there was heavy ground
swells on the Gulf of Aluska both
i ways, the Alaska rode as gracefully
as on a mill pond.
Entertainment was abundant on the
trip to the westward and return,
being started by Capt. Nord, Pilots
McConnell and Landstrom anil other
! officers of thp ship. The grand piano
player was doing duty both after
noon and evenings and the spacious
observation room was a most splen
did dancing pavilion.
Purser Morgan is all smiles with
his berth on the steamer and during
1 the trip was special "guide,” show
■iing visitors to all parts of the new
ship.
The Alaska brought the following
passengers to Juneau from the west
ward: R. E. Murphy and wife, C
