Summary:Alaska Liner Has Full List ALASKA LINER HAS FULL LIST-- Laden with more than two hundred passengers, one of the heaviest Alaska bookings in recent years for a February sailing, the Alaska Steamship Company's liner Northwestern departed today for a range of ports in the North from Ketchikan to Kodiak and Seldovia. The vessel is virtually a full ship, both in her cabins and cargo holds. Sailing on the Northwestern were Earl Ohmer, a crab and shrimp cannery operator of Petersburg; C. H. Cramer, a mining man, bound for Cordova; W. A. Pries, president of the Annette Island Packing Company; Charles Holkey and S. Dockham, mining men bound for Fairbanks; Arthur Wood- ley, an airplane pilot, for Seward; M. S. Dobbs of the United States Customs Service at Ketchikan, and wife; Mr. and Mrs. Vance Hitt for Seward; Mrs. G. E. Cross for Juneau, A. V. Lochman for Ketchikan and Al Shyman for Seward. The Northwestern will call at Skagway both north and southbound. Next Saturday's sailing for Alaska will be made by the steamship Victoria which will connect with the Curacao at Seward for Kodiak, Seldovia and Alaska Peninsula ports. The Curacao will leave Seattle next Thursday for Seward via west coast of Prince of Wales Island ports and Sitka. Shg will make one trip for the steamship Starr out of Seward while that vessel comes to Seattle for an overhaul and then will return to her own route, from Cordova to Kodiak Island and Cook Inlet. The first arrival of a unit of the Alaska Steamship Company's fleet from Alaska since the beginning of the maritime strike, will be the steamship Yukon, due next Thursday with passengers and freight.
