STR. ALASKA TO RUN THROUGH
 CANAL


 The Alaska Steamship Company will place it's big steel liner Alaska in the Panama canal route between this port and Philadelphia next No vember.
 Official announcement of the com pany's invasion of the canal route was made yesterday afternoon at it's headquarters in the Colman building
 The debut of the Alaska in the ca nal route is destined according to shipping experts, to rank as one of the greatest developments of the year in Seattle shipping. The vessel will cater to pleasure seekers. She will also carry freight.
 The Alaska will have the distinc- ton of being the first Seattle owned ship to invade the canal route on re- gular schedule.
 The Alaska will sail from Seattle November 15 on her first voyage in the canal service. If the development of business justifies, the company will place a second passenger ship on the route, and also will add whatever freighters it can spare. .....
 The route adopted by the company for the new service follows. From Seattle to the Panama canal via San Francisco, San Pedro and San Diego; through the canal to the Atlantic, then to Kingston, Jamaica from KiHg- ston to Santiago, Cuba; thence Co Ha- vana. and from Havana to Phi'adel pha. On the return voyage the lip will retrace her course. The company plans to allow it's passengers tr IeaTe the liner at Santiago and travel by rail across Cuba to Havana, N'ere. they will rejoin the vessel
 On the return half of the sirs. soy- age the steamship will sail from Phila delphia December 15 On the second voyage she will leave Seattle JmEary 15. and Philadelphia February l5.
 Besides the ports already named, the Alaska will call at Panama and Colon -sSa ~nl remain q day in each of. her ports of call, thus giving her passengers ample time to go sightsee- ing ashore.
 In the canal route the Alaska will receive only first class passengers, and the number of these will be limi, ted to 150. She is ideally suited for the tourist trade, having only two berth staterooms in her first clas sac commodations. Her speed is fifteen knots and under her schedule she will be able to make the voyage from one terminal port to the other in thirty days.
 The Alaska Steamship Company pur- chased the Alaska in San Francisco last winter. At that time she was known as the Kansas City. Following her arrival here the company expen- ded nearly $150 900 in alterations and improvements for the comfort of pas sengers. She was built in Chester, Pa, and before coming to the Pacific Coast operated in the West Indies trade out of New York and Philadel- phia. After her transfer to San Fran cisco shc was employed in the Ha waiian service out of the Golden Gate, Seattle Times.

A. Bad Mixture.

A judge in Detroit, who holds
court amid a swirling maze of mo-
florists, has just sent man to the
penitentiary for a term of three to
fifteen years for running his car
into a safety zone while drunk
and killing a man. "This will be
a. wholesome lesson to a lot of
other fools in Detroit who think
they can mix whisky with gaso-
line, is the comment of his hon
or. Detroit has no monopoly of
hooliganism awheel that uses the
first liquid for a personal lubri-
cant and the second to burn up
the speed laws. The combination
is peculiarly deadly, and the worst
of it is that those whom it vic
timizes are usually the innocent.
The man of the Keeling head and
the derelict wheel wakes from a
drunken stupor to a mumbled
penitence, but the bloody trail be-
hind him cries from the ground
for his proper penalizing. Public
opinion will applaud the decision
OF a righteous judge, whose SEEM
ing severity is a forewarning that
will prevent the loss of other lives.
