MARINE NEWS

Captain James Davis of the mail boat Estebeth has wired to the office of the Kaser-Davis Transportation Company here that he arrived safe " at Skagway last evening. He al so said that there was a forty-mi'e an hour wind blowing there and that the thermometer was lowering at point below zero. He did not say when the boat would leave Skagway for here The Estebeth is scheduled to leave here tonight on her trip to Sitka and may arrive in time to make it if the storm is not too severe on Lynn Canal.
 Under normal weather conditions the Alameda should arrive at this port tomorrow morning by five o'clock. With the snow storm that is on 1t may be possible that the boat will not be able to come straight through from Cordova. At any event the boat should be here at least before noon tomorrow.
 Notwithstanding that there has not been Southbound boat out of this port for about a week the South bound bookings from here on the Alameda are not heavy. This would indicate that those who gre now in the Territory will stay for the rest of the winter.
