ALASKA MAKES FAST TIME ON
 VOYAGE SOUTH
Reaches Juneau in Forty eight Hour Run
 from Seward

Making the trip in 48 hours from Seward and less than 32 from Cor dova, the steamer Alaska, Capt. H. Anderson, docked here southbound at 7:20 o'clock last evening. The speed run was not made with the idea of making record, but to get the ship in Seattle in time to start the new schedule and leave there for the north again next Sunday morning at g o'clock. If necessary the ship could make even better time than it did on the trip from the Westward, Capt. Ander- son said.
 After loading fish at the Juneau Cold Storage dock, and concen- trates at the Alaska Juneau, the Alaska left for the south at 8:45 o'clock last night.
 Passengers arriving in Juneau from the Westward are: Col. F. Griffin, Mrs. Griffin, Mrs E. Claud- man, R. Claudman, Venetia Claud- man, w. K. Kobak, A. Kimpler, G. Kost, J. Costello, J. Katovich, w. Clayson, H. E. Rupert, Ethel Sefervich, R. Sefervich, Virginia Solmar, E. Anderson, Tom Hall and Emil Olson.
 Those taking passage for Seattle on the Alaska were: Mrs. Edith Roberts, c. D. Greenstreet, Alvina Petrich, Lillian Anderson, Toina Lakikainen, Trena Lakikainen, Mrs. D. B. Femmer, w. G.
