STEAMSHIP ALAMEDA
 OVERHAULED FROM
 KEEL T0 MAINTRyCK
OVER TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND SPENT ON VESSEL SINCE
 LAST TRIP NORTH

The steamship Alameda arrived this morning about 8 o'clock and will sail this evening for Uyak, returning here about Friday or Saturday. A large number of passengers and cannery sup plies for the Northwestern Fisheries will be unloaded at Uyak
 This is the first trip of the Alameda since January when the vessel was taken off the run to undergo a con- plete overhauling. Over $225O0O was spent in remodeling the ship and she has the appearance of a new vessel
 The main alterations include the ad- dition of twelve fine new staterooms on the upper deck including several rooms with bath. A new wireless room has been built just aft of the smoke stack on the boat deck. New boilers of greater steaming capacity were tn- stalled and the machinery of the whole boat was completely overhauled. The boat is fitted out with new life boats and the whole ship, interior and exte- rior has been repainted. The dining room saloon has been rearranged and smaller tables have been put in the Pre.0o rVt1eo vvpDfvs,.
 The Alameda has been fitted with one of the newest and most modern wireless equipments. A Kohler's aux Hilary gas engine replaces the old sys- tenn of storage batteries for emergency use. This is the first time that this system has been used on boats running out of Seattle and the results of the experiment are being closely watched and if the engine proves a success oth- CT boats will install them The bal ance of the new wireless equipment includes a latest DeForest receiving set and an auxiliary receiving set, 2 k. W. Kilburn and Clark transmitter and Magnavox anti-noise marine tel ephone connecting the wireless room with the bridge and with the engine room.
 There is also an auxiliary receiving set for the wireless telephone and sound amplifier in the social hall thru which passengers can enjoy music, etc, broadcasted from Seattle
