S. S. ALASKA ON
FIRSTTRIPTD
ANCHORAGE
On its first trip of the year to An
chorage, the steamship Alaska sailed
from Cordova last evening with a
large cargo of perishables and other
“shorts.” If the boat is not able to
get through to Anchorage within a
few days it is probable that it will
return to Cordova and discharge the
Anchorage cargo, as the Seward dock
is so congested that it will be impos
sible to unload there. Whether or
not it is able to get through, the
Alaska will be back in Cordova the
latter part of this week, according to
the agent.
Passengers leaving Cordova for the
westward were:
For Seward—Mrs. J. Howard, Mike
Grubo, H. Larson, J. Sternberg.
For Valdez—W. H. King, W. F.
Gamble, J. M. Shanks, Fred Fetty, J.
B. Miller, H. H. McNeil.
For Anchorage—J R. Myer.
For Latouche—Mrs. Helen Bell, Eli
Radovich, John Peska, Sam Bogech,
Eli Vakevich, Peter Samozist.
