S. $. VICTORIA 10 BE RECONSTRUCTED

Preparatory to entering the south western Alaska service of the Alaska Steamship company, the steamship Victoria, is being overhauled at Pier 2. says the Seattle Post-Inteiiigen- cer.
 In addition to having the forward portion of her cabins completely re- built the vessel is having extensive repairs to her decks and superstruc- ture made at this time. Like the steamship Alameda and Northwest ern, recently reconditioned. this liner will be virtually a new vessel.
 June has been scheduled as the sailing date for the first voyage to Nome this year. It is possible that the Alaska Statemship Company will decide to operate the Victoria but two voyages to the Seward peninsula this coming summer.
 A smaller vessel will probably be assigned to this route between the June and October period.
 On April 8 the Victoria will bs loaded with cannery supplies and cannery hands and make a voyage to False Pass and vicinity. After that she will be operated to South- western Alaska ports in connection with the steamships Northwestern and Alameda for two voyages. The steamship Alaska. now building at Tacoma, will enter the southern A. aska route on June 9th. when the Victoria will have been withdrawn to enter the Nome service.
