Alaska reports state that the managers
of the Pacific Coast Steamship Company
contemplate increasing the speed OF their
excursion steamship Queen by replacing
her present boilers and engines with an

With the change Il Is anticipated that

Increased to twenty knots. and the time
consumed in making the trip from Sc
attle to Sltka and return so reduced that
two extra trips can be added to the sea-
son, thereby largely increasing the re-
ceipts with about the same expenses now
entailed The Queen, before these re-
pairs are made will act as n substitute
for the damaged Portland liner Columbia.
