SEATTLE. March 12.-The date for the arrival at Ketchikan of the dis tinguished party that is to visit Alas ka the coming summer. has been set for July g. The departure will be timed to arrive during the day and they will remain to visit with the Ket- chikan people. The Seattle Post-In- teuigencer of recent date, gave an out line Of the plan in the following:
 Elaborate celebrations by citizens and visitors in Alaska cities, in which an official party of tourists, including a special delegation of eighteen Uni ted States senators and fifteen rep resentatives will join, a gay water car nivaI heye by the Seattle Yacht Club, followed by a cruise to Northern wat ers-these are important features in a program now being arranged by the Alaska bureau of the Seattle Chamber of ommerce and Commercial Club in observance next summer of the semi centennial of the purchase of Alaska.
 At the same time veteran Alaskans now living in the Yakima Valley, have formed all organizatin which plans to provide for a celebratin of the semi centennial in Seattle Former resi- dents Of the Northern territory now es- tablished in various cities in the North west are expected to take part in this demonstration.
 The plan as far as it relates to the Alaska tour was decided upon by the Alaska communities when the Alaska bureau of the Seattle Chamber of Com merce X Commercial Club sen a rep resentatiye through that territory to learn the wishes of the Alaskans as to how they desired to celebrate this event, so that Seattle could coperate and lend every assistance possible to make it a big success. As the nego- tiations for the purchase of Alaska extended about six months, beginning in March, fifty years ago. and ending in October, it was decided that the plan as outlined would be the most fitting and obtain the best results.
 With this end in view, the Alaska bureau of the Seattle chamber has in hand the organization of a large rep resentative party that will make a complete tour of Alaska to participate in these celebrations Congress is pre- pairing to be represented by large

JULY NINTH IS THE DATElylEN SEATTLE YACHT
 CLUB CRUISING PARTY WILL REACH CITY

committee. The last resolution to be introduced by Senator Putnam provides fer a delegation of eighteen senators and fifteen congressman.
 As the Seattle Yacht Club had planned for this summer a water car niyal to be followed by a cruise Of the waters of Sutheasterno Alaska, the Alaska bureau coperated with the Yacht Club ill fixing the date of de- parture from Seattle on July ', so that the two parties will leave Seattle, to- gether. The water carnival will fur nish a source of entertainment and fitting send-off fol the Alaska party.
 1t is probable that the yachts will be able to be with the Alaska bureau party at their stops in the Southeast ern Alaska towns, after which the Yacht Club party will return to Se- attle. The Alaska bureau party will continue to the westward along the south coast as far as Anchorage, re- turning via Skagway, where the bu- reau party will divide, part returning to Seattle and the remainder going on into the Yukon interior and cover ing all of Western Alaska. It is esti mated that the south coast portion of the Alaska bureau tour will require twenty-two days and the entire tour covering the interior and Western Alaska. about forty-eight days. The Alaska bureau party will leave Seattle ill two or more vessels that will travel in company throughout the southeast and south coasts of Alaska.
 The Alaska bureau was asked by the Alaska committees to undertake the organization of this party and the arranging of the necessary details. This the bureau has now in hand and expects 500 nto be able to announce complete details as to itinerary. The numerous celebrations and interesting events that will be staged in the north ern localities for the benefit of this party are being arranged in extensive manner Those plans contemplate some thirty odd special celebrations and events.
 The anniversary of final transfer of Alaska to the United States, October IS, probably will be fittingly celebrat- ed in Seattle by reunion of all Nor therners under auspices of the Arctic Club and Alaska bureau.
