The face will be straight and will allow three boats the length of the Princess Alice to lie at the dock at one time.

Smith, who came north with orders to prepare plans for and complete the larger structure.
 When seen this afternoon Willis E. Nowon. local agent for tho Alas ka Steamship Company stated that he knows nothing of the arrange ment between the two companies. 'I have nothing to say" was all the information he would give out.
 Mir. Nowell stated some time ago for publication that plans for the rebuilding and improvement of the Union Dock structure by the Alaska Steamship Company were being pre-. pared and that President Baxter would choose the plans he desired followed for the work and would notify Mir. Nowell when to start. The change in plans was evidently decided on by the officials of the two companies after they had met in Seattle recently.
