BOAT SERVICE THIS SUMMER
 BE IMPROVED

Official announcement has been made that four vessels of the Pa cific Steamship Company's fleet, the steamships Admiral Watson, Admiral Evans, Queen and Spokane, will be operated the coming summer from Seattle to Alaskan ports.
 The Admiral Watson and Admiral Evans will ply to Southwestern Alas ka and the Queen and Spokane to Southeastern Alaska. The new schedule will become effective May 2 with the sailing of the steamship Spokane for Southeastern Alaska. There will be a sailing by vessel of the Pacific Steamship Company for Southwestern Alaska every other Thursday.
 The Queen and Spokane will go to Skagway and way ports, and the Admiral Watson and the Admiral Evans as far to the westward as Kodiak, probably calling at Kama talk, where passengers and freight for the new oil country are landed.
 When the big steel freighter of the Alaska Steamship Company, the Medon, sails from Seattle on her next voyage to the Northland the vessel will bear the name of an Indian Princess who formerly lived in the rugged Copper River Valley of Southwestern Alaska.
 The Medon has been rechristened the Oduna in honor of Princess Oduna who formerly roamed in the shadow of the snow-capped peaks of the Copper River country. Princess Oduna befriended early prospectors and pioneers who braved the dangers of the northern wilderness and now the Alaska Steamship Company has honored her memory by naming one of it's big freighters for the prin- cess. The vessel was purchased re- gently by the company from the Shipping Board for operation in the Seattle-Alaska trade.
