EXPANSION SPELLS ACTIVITY
We are making splendid progress with our store altera
tions. While the remodeling is going on, we are so
very busy that we have not had the time to tell you
about the new goods that are due on the next two
boats, and the strenuous strain put on us of re-ar
ranging our large stock of goods is only part of the
work of enlarging an establishment.
In our next ad we will tell you more about it. We can
mention that we are just opening up a shipment of
Winter Caps, and new arrival of Mackinaw Coats
and FALL CLOTHING, which in quality and style
are wray beyond our own expectations.

DETAILS OF
BIO MERGER
OF COMPANIES
SEATTLE, Oct. 9.—The merger of
the Pacific Coast Steamship company
and the Pacific Alaska Navigation
company, under the name of the Pa
cific Steamship company, was an
nounced by H. F. Alexander, president
of the latter company, late Wednes
day afternoon. The company formed
by the amalgamation will be called the
Pacific Steamship company and the
change will take effect November 1.
The deal is perhaps the largest that
has ever taken place in shipping cir
cles on the Pacific coast, as the 22
steamers involved are worth well over
$12,000,000.
The deal, which has been pending
for some weeks, was only definitely
closed at 4:30 o’clock Wednesday aft
ernoon after a meeting of the direct
ors of the Pacific Coast company,
holding corporation, which includes
among others the Pacific Coast Steam
ship company, in New York, and the
directors of the Pacific Alaska Navi
gation company at Tacoma.
Officers of New Company.
The principal officers of the new
company will be H. F. Alexander, of
Tacoma, president; E. C. Ward, Seat
tle, vice-president; R. J. Ringwood,
San Francisco, vice president in
charge of traffic; William Jones, Ta
coma, treasurer; Admiral E. B. Rog
ers, secretary, and A. F. Haines, Se
attle, manager.
The directors will be chosen from
the following directors of the two
merging companies: Pacific Alaska
Navigation company—Chester Thome,
William Jones, S. A. Perkins, H. F.
Alexander, W. C. Morrow, Tacoma; E.
A. Stuart, James D. Hoge, M. A. Ar
nold, Seattle; R. P. Butchart, Victoria,
B. C.; Theo. P. Wilcox, Portland; D. C.
Jackling, Henry T. Scott, R. J. Ring
wood, San Francisco; George Mair,
Windsor, Ont.; R. A. C. Smith, New
York. Pacific Coast Steamship com
pany—M. A. W. Cannon, John W.
Simpson, John I. Waterbury, W. M.
Baroum, Robert M. Parker and Albert
H. Wiggin, New York; Lewis K. Thur
low, Edward Pierce and Washington
D. Thomas, Boston.
rrv,^ _ _
are divided between those of the merg
ing companies, with H. F. Alexander,
head of the P. A. N. Co., taking the
head office of the new company, and
E. C. Ward, vice president of the P. C.
S. S. Co., taking the same position
with the Pacific Steamship company.
R. J. Ringwood, vice-president, and A.
F. Haines, manager of the Pacific
Alaska Navigation company, take cor
responding positions.
Vessels in Combined Fleet.
The vessels which will be combined
into one fleet include: Pacific Coast
Steamship company steamers Queen,
Congress, Governor, President, Spo
kane, Umatilla, Senator, City of Se
attle, City of Topeka, Curacao, Raval
li, Aurelia and Homer, and Pacific
Alaska Navigation company steamers
Admiral Dewey, Admiral Evans, Ad
miral Farragut, Admiral Goodrich,
Admiral Schley, Admiral Watson, Ad
miral Sebree, Yale and Harvard. All
but six of the vessels operate out of
Seattle, either to Alaska or to Califor
nia ports, the half dozen being the
Aurelia, Homer, City of Topeka, Yale
and Harvard, operating in the coast
wise runs in California, and the Ad
miral Seebree, at present on the east
coast.
According to the statement of H. F.
Alexander, through A. F. Haines, the
merger grew out of the scarcity of
vessels on the Pacific coast, due to the
greater demand for them in other
trades, and the inability to secure ad
ditional vessels under existing condi
tions, for the trade of the Pacific
coast, the Pacific Coast company and
the Pacific Alaska Navigation compa
ny, after carefully considering the sit
uation, have decided that they can
best serve the interests of the public
with more efficient service and more
frequent sailings by operating the two
fleets under a management that will
eliminate the disadvantages to the
traveling and shipping public, which
necessarily attend the operation of
the two fleets separately.
“ In other words, duplicate sailings
will be avoided and more frequent
sailings can be maintained on the var
ious routes, thus giving a better and
more satisfactory service along the
entire coast with the same number of
vessels.
“ The Pacific coast trade has in
creased very materially on the Cali
fornia, Puget sound and Ala'ska routes
and, under the separate managements,
available vessels have not been suffi
cient to properly take care of the in
creasing trade.
“ Under the management of the Pa
cific Steamship company, operating all
of the vessels, the schedules and sail
ings of the vessels will be so arranged

as to more adequately take care of
this growing business, in the interest
of the public, and to provide better
and more frequent service along the
entire coast.

imperative and neither company alone
was able to solve it.”
