The steel steamship Starr, Captain O. A.

The boat was to continue on its way west late this afternoon.
 Many prominent people of Juneau visited the ship this morning. The first party was one headed by Gov ernor Scott c. Bone and included Karl Thiele. Secretary of the Terri tory, and ". c. Smith, Territorial Treasurer. Another was a party from the Commercial Association, in cluding Charles Goldstein, Allen Shattuck, w. c. Johnson, Walter De Long and others. All who viewed the staunch little ship were loud in their praise of her, her equipment and crew.
 After viewing the vessel today Governor Scott c. Bone expressed himself as being highly pleased with it and sent the following telegram of congratulation to Postmaster Gen eral Will H. Hayes:
 'tSteel steamer Starr for mail serv- ice Seward and Westward to Aleu- tian Islands passed through here to- day Enthusiastically greeted. All Alaskans appreciate spirit of con structive helpfulness of Postoffice Department.
 Former HaIibut Boat
 The Starr was built in 1912 for the deep sea halibut fishing business by the San Juan Company. The vessel was built especially staunch to stand the stormy weather of the Gulf of Alaska. To make her into passen ger carrying boat the vessel was built up from near the water line at the stern, where the boat deck was and two staterooms added to the cabin Steel construction was main tained throughout.
 lu6 CldTT IS 14u ltcl III iouSlu overall 258 in width, and 14.0 depth It is 525 tons gross tonnage and 303 net tons. She is equipped with oil burning steam engines to develop 600 horsepower and speed of more than 10 knots an hour Oil stations are found at Latouche, False Pass and Akutan in Western Alaska and the oil tanks will be replenished there.
 There has perhaps never been a boat come North that was better equipped with every device for safety than the Starr, as she has staunch lifeboats and all kinds of stormy weather equipment. One feature is the big winch holding more than 200 fathoms of steel cable attached to a 1.500 pound anchor. This it is claimed will allow the vessel to an chor in 200 fathoms of water in stormy weather and hold on while other vessels may be seeking shelter
 Freight and Passengers
 Accommodations are provided for g steerage and 30 first class pas sengers. Staterooms are on the main deck and below decks with the steer age accommodations forward. Every thing for passengers is new and up- to-date.
