 When Capt. A. E. Lathrop was outside he wasn't too busy to listen to the talk of the hundreds of pros pective stampeders who assured him that they are coming to Cordova during the winter and early spring to make the trip from here to the Chisana gold diggings. He says that strenuous efforts are being made to divert the travel to the Canadian route, but that reports are now con- ing from those who were induced to go in by way of White Horse, and most of them are bowling because of cs them. Most of them are returning by way of Mccarthy, by which route it takes less than four days mushing to reach the railroad. The captain states that it is now generally ac- cepted that Cordova has the shortest and easiest summer route, but that some missionary work will be neces- sary to establish this as. the best winter route.

 The Alaska Steamship Company has officially announced the schedule on the Southwestern Alaska run for the next two months. There will be a sailing from Seattle every ten days, as follows: September 2S; October 8, IS and 2S; November 7, IT and 27. The sailings south from Cor dova on the return trip will be about nine days after the Seattle sailing. Nothing has been definitely decided as to dates after November 27. If business warrants it is expected that they will be more frequent than every ten days for the balance of the win ter.a The six day schedule will likely be effective next summer.
