And here today, according to the latest report prior to going to press, the vessel is due to steam into port around 5 o'clock this afternoon. That means mail for everybody to- night.
 The Alaska has a good size list of passengers for Seward as we'll as over 800 tons of general cargo, des- tined for all over Alaska. About 500 tons will be distributed along the AL aska Railroad right-of-way and to re- mote districts far down the Interior rivers. There are 40 tons for local merchants, 200 tons for the railroad, consisting of ties and lumber, 50 tons for the steamer Starr for delivery to the Westward and Bristol bay region and a smaller amount for transfer to the S.
