NORTHWESTERN
IS TAKEN OVER
BY GOVERNMENT
Alaska Steamer Commandeered and
la Withdrawn from the Alaska
Koute—New Schedules
Steamer Northwestern, of the
Alaska Steamship Company, has been
commandeered by the United States
government. This was the word
brought north by A. H. McDonald,
agent of the company, who returned
on the Alameda last night.
Owing to the temporary withdrawal
of the steamer Northwestern from
the southwestern Alaska route, the
steamers Alameda, Alaska and Mari
posa will operate for the balance ot*
September and October, leaving Seat
tle at a. m. on the following dates:
Alaska—October 2.
Mariposa—October 8.
Alameda—October lb.
Alaska—October 24.
The ports of call will be Ketchi
kan. Juneau, Cordova, Ellamar, Val
dez, "Fort Liscum. Latouche, Seward
and Anchorage.
Denotes calls at Fort Liscum only
when business justifies.
Southbound the Mariposa and Ala
meda will call at Skagway in addition
to the above named ports.
As noted above, the Alaska sailing
from Seattle October 24. will go thru
to Anchorage, and unless advised to
the contrary will be the last steamer
calling at Anchorage this season.
The Northwestern should have ar
rived in Seattle last Wednesday from
canneries in Southeastern Alaska and
it was the understanding that the
steamer would immediately undergo
extensive repairs preparatory to being
turned over to the government.

LOCAL BANK TO
TAKE FUNDS FOR
BOYS IN FRANCE
The Bank of Seward has received
a communication from Clark C. Grif
fith, manager of the Washington
American League, requesting them to
co-operate in raising funds for the
purchase of baseball supplies to be
shipped to “our soldiers in France.”
A subscription of this kind was rais
ed some time ago and a large con
signment of baseball paraphernalia
was shipped to France on the ill-fated
steamship “kansas,” which all know
was sunk by a submarine before
reaching her destination. The boys
were therefore deprived of their ex
pected supplies. Therefore, all good
Americans are asked to give their two
bits or four-bits or a bone or two to
the bat and ball fund that will make
the boys in the trenches feel that the
folks back home are right behind
them in the glorious work for de
mocracy and humanity.
Subscriptions, however small, will
be welcome and the Lank of Seward
is authorized to accept the same. The
Sporting News of St. Louis, Mo., the
legal authority on baseball news in
America, will publish the names of
each and every contributor to the ball
and bat fund, hence, the names and
amounts of all contributors will be
sent in.
The following is a copy of a letter
received from Major General John J.
Pershing, U. S. A., when he was ad
vised that a consignment was going

SEWARD BEING
DISCUSSED IN
THE SOUTHLAND;
All Along the Pacific Coast People
Are Looking for Great Doings
in This Section
“From San Francisco in the south
to Valdez in the north, people are talk
ing about Seward and all along the
coast there is a great belief that Sew
ard is expected to do great things next
spring. Everywhere I went I was be
sieged by persons who fired questions
at me from long range and from the
first line of trenches, bombarding me
for information of this section. Even
at Ketchikan, Juneau and Cordova,
Alaska discussions centered about
Seward.”
The above statement was made this
forenoon by A. H McDonald, agent
of the Alaska Steamship Co., who re
turned last night on the Alameda
from a combined business and pleas
ure trip to the States.
Mr. McDonald looks for a big travel
to Alaska next spring and especially
this section.
“There is no truth,” said Mr. Mc
Donald, “about the rumo*s being cir
culated in Seward that the boats o!
the Alaska Steamship Co. are to be
taken over by the government. The
Northwestern is the only craft to leave
the northern service but the other
three freight and passenger steamers
will remain on the route.”
CAPT. CHARLIE DAVIS
COMM WDING ALAMEDA
Capt. Charlie Davis, one of the well
known navigators of the north, is in
command of the Alameda on the pres*
ent trip. Capt. Klinger took a lay-off
owing to the serious illness of his
wife in Seattle.

Dear Sir: I am in receipt of your

thoughtfulness that prompted it.

When Ordered South Again to
Make Repairs Near Seattle
The cableship Burnsides should
reach Seward next Tuesday or Wed

sea and proceed south to a point 500
miles from Seattle and repair the
cable which had broken between Seat

Valdez yesterday that the Burnsides
had arrived at the break, north of
Cape Flattery, and would make re
pairs as soon as the weather permit
ted. The Sitka office reported to Val
dez that a weak spot had been detect
ed in the cable about 200 miles south
of Sitka aod this would also be repair-!
ed before the cableship proceeded to
Seward.
