MAY 60 10 SkAGWhY,
 PRINCESS N0RAH
Also May Travel to Other Alaska Ports, Bui N0f
 So from Juneau

The Acting Secretary of the Treasury Department today waived 46 use 289 and permits Canadian vessels to transport passengers be- tween Skagway ard other points in Alask1. The exNnsion is from January ] to March 31 1946 ac- cording to adyiees received today at the Customs Office.
 Now this means just this-pas- eengers may Le taken aboard the Princess Norah fer Skagway and passenger may travel to Juneau from Skagway, but no passengers will be taken from Juneau for Wrangen or Ketchikan, so don't bother Agent Harry Godson because this is the law. Neither may pas seneers board the Princess Norah at Wrangell or Ketchikan for Ju- neau, but if their destination is Skagway, they may do so.
 The reason for the ruling is that at present Skagway is off the regu- lar route of the Alaska Steamship c .npany and the Lynn Canal metropolis is thus served only by the Canadian Pacific and by the beats of the Alaska Transportation Company.
