and newsy daily which publishes

parts of the world in addition to
personal items of the ship's passen- j

The following items taken from yes

Anchorage readers of The Daily
Times.
-Sun rises 2:58 a. m. Sun sets j
10:45 p. m.
Ship’s position at noon—in Cook's
inlet near Hachemak bay, about
1910 from Seattle.
Tides and weather permitting ship
should reach Anchorage this even
ing at 7:00 o'clock. Anchorage
passengers out of Cordova were Mrs.
T. M. Hart and Mrs. Della Corrage.
Out of Valdez. Lieut. F. Mears. Out
of Seward. D. Vucetich, C M. Don- j
nelly, .1. H. McClure, A. G. Smidth,
Wm. Ralirbach. E. T. Lindnen and j
A. R. Peterson.

eight hours on account of thick fog
gy weather.
Miss Paola Kena, Mrs. Weston,
Freight Clerk Blain. Chief Engineer
Raymond and Lieut. F. Mears went
fishing while we laid at La Touche
and brought back a boat load of the
finny tribe.
Had they have fished any longer
it is doubtful if there would have
been any room left in the boat for
their catch. Miss Kena took some
photos to prove to her Detroit friends
that this is no fish story and Lieut.
Mears will take some ashore at
Anchorage for Sunday dinner and
give his friends.
We met the Admiral Evans in the
fog about 8:30 a. m., bound for Sew.
ard.
Mt. McKinley Is the highest peak
on the North American continent,
being 20.800 feet high and may be
seen this afternoon If the weather is
clear.
The city of Anchorage is our next
stop and is headquarters for the new
railroad and is in the heart of a
wonderful mining and farming coun
try. The developments of the. past
year are simply marvelous and new
buildings are constantly going up.
It Is always a plytsure for this, ship's
crew to get an opportunity to go
ashore at Anchorage, for the people
are so extremely courteous and hos
pitable. Our passenger list for this
city is always a large one and we sel
dom take any one on the return trip
unless they are going out on a mat
ter of business. Anchorage has
great possibilities for the future and
will no doubt reach a population of
10,000 people, within the next two
or three years and we are sure the;
Anchorage passengers will not. be
dissatisfied in the new government |
city.”
NEW YORK, June 24.—Work lias
been begun here on a 13-story hotel
for Gotham’s ballroom girls. The
structure, being put up by promi
nent New York women, will contain
‘‘beaux rooms" or "spooning par
lors” on every floor and the girls
may do as they please about the
hours they keep. It is to be called
the Hotel Irvin for Women, as the
idea is Mrs. Richard Irvin’s.
The first consideration is to pro
vide an ideal and independent home
for girls and women where charity
will have no place Each guest will
be as independent as any guest of a
hotel anywhere.
“The guests of the Hotel Irvin
may go and return as they please at
any hour of the night, and there will
be no question of propriety as to the
hour,” was the announcement.
Mrs. Philip Chadborne said there
were 70,000 working girls in board
ing houses in Manhattan, most of
whom have no place in which to re
ceive company. "We have never
been able to learn how many hall
room girls there are in Manhattan,”
said Mrs. Chadborne, “but we have
letters from girls compalining of
their lot in such places, especially of
the rule that prohibits them seeing
their male fiends at their homes.
This leads to evils, such as frequent
ing cafes or walking the streets."
“The hotel will have a dance and
assembly room, and, in addition to
the house laundry, each girl may use
a small laundry on each lloor for
washing handkerchiefs and waists,”
said Miss Virginia Potter. The thir
teen floors will accommodate more
than 400 women.
There are to be a number of these
“beau parlors,” where each guest
may have privacy. They are also to
have a roof garden, a chadng dish
room for little parties, a big restau
rant, a gymnasium, a hospital, sit
ting rooms, sewing rooms, and all
the luxuries of a modern hotel at
cost ranging from $4 to $8 a week.
The greatest spendthrift will not be
able to exceed $8 a week for room
and board. The hotel clerks will be
women, and the only men will be the
porters and furnace men.
The cost of the structure and
equipment will be $490,000, for
which shares of stock remaining will
be offered to those who wish to in
vest in promoting welfare work.
John L. Thomas, who originated the
Mills Hotel enterprise, has assured
the projectors of the women’s hotel
that the investment promises a fair
return on the capital. Women who
continue as permanent guests will 1
get a rebate or a share annually in
the surplus earnings.
