 SUMMER TRIPS
Three Steamers Are to Nave Thirty Trips from
 April to September

From the time the Princess Alice makes her first trip of the 1928 season on April until the end of August when the regular tourist season schedule will be completed, steamers of the Cana. dian Pacific Railway Company will make thirty round trips from Vancouver to Skagway and re- turn. according to information giy- en out today by w. l.. Coates, Ju- neau agent for the company.
 Although the regular summer schedule does not commence until June, the Princess Alice will re place the Princess Mary, which is now making the winter runs to Alaska, on April 1. This is earlier than the Princess May was replaced last year. and the Princess Alice will remain on the Alaska run until the end of Aug ust.
 Sailing from Vancouver on June 1, the Princess Louise will make the first official trip of the 1928 tourist season and will operate in connection with the Princess Alice and the Princess Charlotte.
 These three steamers will main tain a steady schedule through June, July and August. so the Canadian Pacific Railway will have two boats sailing from the south each week, for Alaska, dur ing those three months.
