 ANNOUNCED

A Sd1IlnR rom SodLtle every odt- urday by one of three big steamers between April 28 and December 22, and one every alternate Thursday from May F to December 13, by the Jefferson, is included by the new schedule just announced by the Alaska Steamship Company. In addition to these passenger ships the company will operate six freighters during the season.
 The company is not only making every possible provision to handle the tourist business, but to provide an ade- quate freight and passenger service to take care of all of Alaska's needs Trips made by the officials last fall and early this winter brought them closely in touch with conditions here and is reflected in the companys plans for 1923.
 The present schedule will continue in effect until the end of April as far as the Northwestern and Alameda are concerned and until May F for the Jefferson.
 Victoria to Be Put On
 1naugurating it's weekly Saturday sailings on April 2S, the company will send out the Victoria on that date to Southwestern Alaska ports. The Ala meda follows on May and the Northwestern on May 12. These three steamers will maintain this service until June g. when the new steamer Alaska swings into the run, replacing the Victoria, which goes on the Nome run. The Jefferson, on May F, changes her sailing date from Friday to Thursday, leaving Seattle every two weeks and covering only South eastern Alaska points.
 Early Tourist Season
 Inquiries regarding reservations from tourists are coming in steadily and an early opening of the season is indicated. The company, there fore, is beginning the excursion runs with the sailing of the Northwestern on June 2 and will continue them until the Alaska selling scheduled for September l. The Southeastern Alas ka excursion tour via the Jefferson is now arranged for opening on June 14 and will extend over the trip leaving Seattle on August 23.
 Much interest is being manifested in the Alaska, the steamer now under construction by the company. It is described as being the most up-to- date and luxurious steamer ever de- signed for the Alaskan route. The ship will be completed about the mid dle of May and will have it's trial runs on Puget Sound on or about May 22. It will be a 16knot twin-screw yes sel. It will leave Seattle on it's first regular run on June 9. It is under stood that it has been completely sold out for the first trip. On it's next scheduled sailing, June 30, it is report ed this vessel will call at Prince Ru- pert for a party of 70 prominent East erners who compose the Brooklyn Daily Eagle Mt. McKiley National Dedication party. It is scheduled tc leave there on July 2.
 While no definite announcement has been made, it is understood that Cap tain Gus Nord, now on the Northwest ern, will be in command of the Alas ka. He is senior captain in the ser vice and fleet commodore for the com pany.
