New (. P. R. Princess"
 Pays SkagwaY Initial Visit

An informal dance was given on board between 8 o'clock and l2 midnight, to which the passengers of the ship and official party acted as hosts and hostesses, while the people of Skagway were guests. The music was furnished by the ships Hve-piece orchestra--piano, violin, clarinet, saxophone and drums.
 At one o'clock a special train took Captain Troup and party to Summit, and while the weather was perfect for an early summer day, the beau ties of the trip could not be realized as there Is still considerable snow up the valley.
 When Captain Troup took the re- presentatlve of the Daily Alaskan in tow to show him the various ap- pointments of the ship, it was but few moments until the scribe be- came So confused and bewildered that he could not describe the beau tifully appointed bridal suites, the spacious and Iuxuriously furnished Iounging and smoking room, the cozy library, the observation rooms the social halls and the dining sa- looms. Time and space will not per init ar attempt to describe the various color schemes, the lighting and ventllating syLtems, the water and bath accommodations, nor the spacious promenade decks and wind protected cross-OveTs. All of these, however, will tend to popularize this ship, as Northerners appreciate the good things in life, and show their appreciation by patronage.
 Hal Johnson, the popular local agent of the c. P. R., is entitled to go about today wearing satisfied smile, for the Princess Louise has placed him in a position to give his most exacting patrons the best that the shipbuilding art can devise.
 The official party spoken of in our advance story of the arrival of the Princess Louise consisted of Captain J. W. Troup-Manager, c. P. R., B. c. service.
 J. ". Brodie-C. P. R. general pas senger agent.
 James McGown-Surerintendent of engineers.
 H. J. Maguire-DistriCt baggage agent.
 A. Wallace of the Wallace Ship building & Drydock Co.,, build
 CTS of the Princess Louise. William Howoe-Chiet engineer of
 the same company.
The daily Alaskan., 1922-05-25

At a few minutes before seven o'clock Wednesday morning the soft mellodious whistle of the Princess Louise echoed back and forth across the rocky walls of the valley, and the people of Skagway were awak- encd to the pleasing sense of per feet day and the fact that the Can adian Pacific Steamship company had placed it's newest acquisition in the line of ships at the service of It's northern patrons.
 With Captain Slater, master of the new Princess" at the helm, the beautiful craft steamed smoothly up the canal, and as she sidled up to her berth at MOOre's wharf, so quiet lv and smoothly did she ride, that 1t appeared to those watching her maneuver that the dock seemed to be going towards her, rather than that she was gliding gracefully to- wards the dock.
 In recognition of this maiden Vis- it to Skagway. the northern termin- al of the ships course, huge Amer ican and British flags were testoon- ed on the dock house immediately opposite the pilot house and be- tween the flags an artisucally paint ed greeting which read, Welcome Princess Louise" was hung. Sus- pended to this was great gold key, the master key to Skagway, which bore the inscription Princess, Here Is the Key to Skagway."
 Immediately upon docking the c. p. R. House Flag was run ahoat, and this was quickly followed by her gala dress, and In few mo- ments the beautiful new craft took on an appearance resembling a blushing maiden, "all dressed up ready to receive her beaux."
 As soon as the tormalities of the customs had been complied with, the i people of Skagway took advantage of the invitation to come aboard and until she sailed at 12:SO a. m. an admlring crowd was constantly coming and going, one and all of the same opinion, that she was the fin est boat which had ever visited the port.
 At I1:30 o'clock an informal luncheon was served in the spacious dining hall to a few of the port and White Pass officials.
 At 2:SO o'clock in the afternoon the ship was thrown open for 8 gen. eral inspection.

many thrills as did the players on
the big teams. The Vocational
school led at the end of the first
period II to 10 and toward the
termination of the second and last
session had increased this lead
slightly to II to Is.
Dickinson, Pike and Scruton
were the scorers for the Academy
while upon Burrows, Christie, Ellis
and McCrillis fell the burden of
keeping the Vocational basketeers
in the running. Each team tailed
five goals from the field but it was
the Academy proneness to foul
that decided the issue. Burrows,
the Vocational foul shooter, sent
no less than five free throws trick

erful on defense with Desautels,

workers depended as the leading
carrier of the ball.
Company d scored but two
points in this session. Burns beat
a path to the side of the hall and
raised the ball up into the basket.
Then Murphy launched his individ-
ual offensive. He was fouled by
Fisk and tailed the free throw.
He followed up a wide toss at the
goal and pushed the sphere in
single-handed. Following a sue
cession of Hudson passes, Muir
ply was again given the ball with
instructions to score if possible.
His long shot splashed up against
the blackboard and rebounded back
into the laces.
With Murphy leading the attack,
Hudson grew more and more pow
erful as the game drew to its
eventful close. The Bay state five
actually had Company d worried
at the end. The early lead of Coach
Burns men was a great advantage
