GATEWAY EXTENDS WELCOME TO THE

ERAN ( APT. C. A. GLASSCOCK, AND HIS
ABLE STAFF OF OFFICERS AND CREW.
In anticipating the demands of the present and the
future, the Alaska Steamship is only following the pro
gressive program laid down some years ago, when its
service to Alaska, while meeting the immediate needs,
was still not what they desired. Sucessfully, palatial ship
after palatial ship has since been added until now, with
the S. S. Aleutian in service, the company is capable of
meeting the most exacting demands, either in point of
freight haulage or first-class passenger accommodations.
In line with other improvements, all the most modern
aids to navigation and safety of passengers have been
adopted, further accentuating the completeness of the
service.
Following is a resume of the steamer from the
lime of its purchase to the present maiden voyage:
WASHINGTON. May 8. i/P< The
Hoover administration is prepar

that the federal prison facilities
be enlarged as soon as possible.
High officials personally made
known these facts in urging Con
gress to do all it can to act upon
President Hoover’s note urging the
swift adoption of law enforcement
bills.
