No. lit. FOURTEENTH YEAR.
SRAUWAY, ALASKA, SATURDAY, ACGUSfK 1911 PKICI. 10 CENT*
II FULL DAY
FOR SKAGWAY
Mr. Kenneth C. Kerr, industrial
agent for the Alaska Steamship Com
pany, with offices in Seattle, was in
Skagway for a few hours yesterday,
returning to meet President Young,
of the company, at Juneau, from
where they will make a trip of In
spection to the Westward.
To a representative of the Alaskan.
Mr. Kerr said that the Alaska Steam
ship company is devising plans to
give a better Service in Southeastern
Alaska for next season than that
heretofore in force. A splendid new
ship, as yet unnamed, is being con
structed and will be added to the
fleet in the spring. The large steam
ships Alameda and Northwestern
are to be routed via Juneau, to the
westward, which will relieve the
smaller boats. The latter will be
plao.si oh a longer schedule.
The company realizes, Mr. Kerr
says, that the presnet schedules for
this run are too short and that the
boats have been overburdened during
the excursion season. It is hoped !
and expected by the company to so
arrange the schedules for next sea
son's business, that the boats arriv
ing at Skagway with tpurists shall
have a full day layover giving the
excursionists ample time to spend in
Skagway and also make the trip over
the White Pass line.
This is the best tourist season in
the company's history, and next year
promises to far surpass the season
which is just closing.
