Looking Ahead!
Alaskan progress of the past forecasts the future greatness of
the Northfland, and justifies all Alaskans In holding to their firm faith
in the Territory’s possibilities and worth. By aiming high and
working together—actively and 6teadily—those having to do with
Alaskan progress can accomplish much. Looking ahead to still
greater things, and planning and working accordingly, is the one
way that a high purpose can be realized.
The Alaska Railroad—a pioneer system—is gradually and pains
takingly striding towards a great goal—the greater development of
Alaska; and, that the future is bright and promising is attested by
the steady and consistent upward trend of past and present activi
ties. The Alaska Railroad is “Looking Ahead.”

STEAMBOAT UTOPIA
GOES TO SCRAP HEAP
MADE SEVERAL VOYAGES TO AL
ASKA, INCLUDING ONE
TRIP TO NOME
After plying the waters of Puget
Sound for thirty years, the steamboat
Utopia, one of Seattle’s most famous
vessels, has been taken to the plant
of the Lake Washington. Shipyards
where she will be scrapped. The
Utopia was sold recently by the Pu
get Sound Navigation Company to
Sam Henderson and Max Sidell. The
vessel was built in 1893 for Capt.
W. G. McGregor and C. H. Black and
was first commanded by the former.
During her long career she made
several voyages to Alaska and one
as far as Nome. She was operated
for several years in the Strait of
Juan de Fuca route but in June 1923,
was replaced by the larger and more
modern steamboat Comanche.
Charles W. Smith, veteran marine
engineer of Puget Sound, .ended an
association of thirty years with the
Utopia when she was towed from her
moorings in Lake Union to the Lake
j Washington Shipyards to be scrap
ped. He joined the Utopia in the
, early spring of 1896 as assistant en
j gineer in the tuggineer. A few
1 months later he became chief engin
; eer of the vessel. Mr. Smith came
| to Puget Sound in 1873 and began
sterna boating as asisfant engineer in
the tug Cyrus Walker.
