AWARDED FOR
 OVERHAULING NORTHWESTERN

The Alaska Steamship company has awarded the contract for the '- teratons to the steamship NortJ' western to the Seattle Constructor & Dry Dock Go. The vessel is now at the local plant, where the work is being pushed so that she will be in readiness to re-enter the spring trade in Alaska. Chief among the alterations is the conversion of the vessel from coal to oil as fuel. The Dahl oil burning system will be installed, which will have the effect of somewhat speeding the yes seI up and creating some additional cargo space. While undergoing this work the awning deck will be eX- tended from the ching saloon for ward, upon both sides, which will give a covered deck promenade sim liar to the Alameda and Marlposa. The interior of the steamship will be refurnished and painted, making here accomodations equal in all re- spects to the Mariposa and Alameda These three vessels will alternate on the Southwestern Alaska run via the Inside passage, on the same general arrangement as last season Railway and Marine News.
