 IN THIS CITY
Pliers Were at Alert Bay Last Night Expected
 to Hop at 6 A. M.

The six passenger Boeing flying boat that left Seattle yesterday afternoon at :45 o'clock is now due in Juneau but when, is not definitely known.
 The only word regarding the fly ing boat received up to 3 o'clock this afternoon was by The Empire from an Associated Press dispatch stating that George Cochran had been advised at Seattle that the plane reached Alert Bay, B. c. safely last night and planned to hop off at 6 o'clock this morning direct for Juneau.
 Gerald Smith, representative of the International Airways, now in Juneau, believed that the plane would call at Prince Rupert and also at Ketchikan to clear but other authorities believed that this was not necessary as very probably arrangements had been made at Seattle for a flight to Juneau with out special clearances at way ports. Arrangements are completed for the fliers to be greeted by Gov. George A. Parks and all members of the Alaska Territorial Legisla- ture and adjournment of the Leg islature is to be taken, if in session. The public schools will also be dis missed when the plane arrives, if during school hours.
 Visibility might have been low at Alert Bay this morning and the hop-off postponed until later than | 6 o'clock.
 The Cable office officials at Ket- chikan, taking their position from the Associated Press dispatch, do not look for the plane to touch there. but come directly to Juneau The distance between Alert Bay and Juneau is about 800 miles and flying at 100 miles an hour. the plane could make the flight in five l hours.
 The fire bell will be sounded when the plane is sighted down the channel.
 Those Aboard
 Aboard the Boeing plane are MT and Mrs. P. T. Mccarthy, Mrs. J w. (Jack) McCord, E. J. A. Burke and George Lortie.
