SEATTLE, July 23-The steam
ship Queen sailed for Alaska today,
carrying Alb passengers, of whom 1913
were from Seattle bound for the Klon-
dyke gold fields. The others were
Eastern and Christian Endeavor excur-
sionists going to Dyea- The steamer
carried 400 tons of freight, consisting of
baggage and provisions.
San Francisco, July 23.-The demand
for transportation to Alaska has in
creased so rapidly that the Pacific
Coast Steamship company has decided
to place another steamer ON the north
ern route. The steamer State of Cali
fCrnia will leave here on the 9th con-
Meeting with the George w. Elder at
Portland on the 30th. Advices from
the North today, have been received to
the effect that all accommodations on
the steamer Topeka, which leaves Pu-
get sound on the 2Sth and the Alki,
which will sail in August, have been
sold, and that no further transporta-
ton can be had on either vessel.
WEST SUPERIOR, Wis, July "a
1t is said that the American Steel
Barge company has arranged with a
syndicate interested in the Alaskan
gold fields to construct several small
vessels on the whaleback plan to nav
igate the Yukon. Arrangements are
being made to open the ship yards Of
the company at Everett Washington,
and the extensive plant at West Su-
perior may be used to get out some
of these little ships. The men, for
whom the first six of these boats will
be built are interested heavily in the
Clondyke gold territory and recently
took from their proprietors a large
amount OF money, a part of which will
be expended in exploring the Yukon
river for further deposits.

ENDEAVORERs RETURNING.
Mill City Invaded by Jolly Party
of MissOurianR

About 100 young people, comprising the
st. Louis delegation to the Y. P. S. c. E. con-
vention. came in last evening at 1918 over
the Northern Pacific railway, their
turn from San Francisco in a special train
consisting OF five cars. The party was in
charge OF w. H. Mccain, and upon their ar
rival at st. Louis will have been gone twenty
seven days The return trip was one of
unusual interest TO all. At one time, while
crossing the mountains, all enjoyed snow
battle and in the evening gave a Christmas
tree. The party was met at different points
along the line and given hearty welcome.
At Fargo dinner was rendered by the Y. NJ.
c. A. after which drive was taken about
the city. jamestown was visited by the young
people, and they were given souvenirs in
the form of a card to which was attached a

COOKS INLET DESERTED.
People All FIocking to the New
CIondyke Country.

SIchOyke Country.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 23--Among
the arrivals from Alaska on the steam
er Bertha, was Or. c. F. Dickinson, OF
Kodiak island, which lies just at the
h ad Of Cooks inlet. He says the gold
excitement all over the territory of
Alaska, is something unprecedented
ana that people are f1ocking to the
Clondyke in way that threatens to
depopulate many of the trading posts
and coast towns.
When l left Kodiak, two weeks
ago., said Mr.. Dickinson, the peopla
We're leaving all that section of the
country ard fioching in the direction
OF Clondyke. In way, the situation
is appalling, for many of the indus
tries are left practically without the
means Of operation
Mines that are paying handsomely
at Cooks inlet, have been deserted
In my opinion, there are just as good
placer diggirgs to be found at Cook
inlet as in the Clondyke region. There
is not a foot of ground in all that
country that does not contain gold in
more or less apDreciable quantities
The great trouble has been that peo-
pie have not had either the courage

to thoroughly prospect the country. |
think that in another month the coun.
try about Cooks inlet will be prac-
tically deserted. There is room there
for thousands of men, and there is
certainly no better place in the world
for poor man"
The Clondyke craze has struck the
speculative element hard Companies
of all kinds are being organized, while
the signs and window letterings are
appearing with marvellous rapidity on
the principal streets. Such titles as

TIRED Of HIS life E
JORGEN TORGENSON, A SOUTH MIN
NEAPOLIS RESIDENT, HANGS
HIMSELF.
DID THE DEED QUICKLY.
LEFT ALONE BUT TEN MINUTES.
HE WAS DEAD WHEN
DISCOVERED.
ILL HEALTH CAUSED THE ACT.
Former Attempt at Suicide Was Less
Successful-News of Minne-
apOIis.

Jorgen TorgerSen, sixty years old,
and residing over the First Norwegian
Presbyterian church, 1929 Sixth street
south, committed suicide by hanging
himself about o'clock last evening.
Ill health is supposed to be the cause,
as the dead man had been a sufferer
from rheumatism for twelve years
Torgersen had not by any word or
action implied that he intended to take
his own life, and the manner in which
he did it manifests a peculiar cunning
in the endeavor to arrive at the desired
result Torgersen and his wife were
just having their supper They were
alone, as their five children who resided
with them had already partaken of
their evening repast and left the house.
Shortly before Z o'clock the wife left
the house on an errand to the meat
market, and the husband remained
alone to finish his meal. Mrs. Torger-
sen was not away from the house over
ten minutes, and when she entered the
Kitchen the husband was not to be
seen. This surprised her, as he never
LETT the house, owing to his illness. She
stepped out into an attic-like structure
at Tie rear OI the Kitchen, ana
about to GO down the back steps, where
she dtscerned an object dangling back
in the corner. Upon going towards it
the terrible truth was most unmerciful-
ly thrust upon her Officer Carlson, of
the South side patrol, arrived on the
scene within a few minutes and cut the
body down. 1t was still warm, but life
was extinct
Torgersen had used a thin MANILA
cord with which to end his life. This
had been tied to a rafter and the moose
placed about his neck, while seated on
a chair From appearances he had
then allowed his body to fall forward.
and allowed the moose to accomplish
the desired result. The body was view
ed by Coroner Dennis, who ordered the
body taken to the county morgue, but
decided that an inquest would be un-
necessary.
Torgersen and family came to Min
neapolis from Christiania, Norway, six
years ago. One of the sons stated last
evening that he had made am unsuc-
cessful attempt TO end his life by hang
ing at the docks Of Christiania, about
eight years ago. The cause for his act
at thnt time was the same that i'm
PEELED him last evening.

RIVAL FISTIC CARNIVALS..
Brady and Dan Stuart Are Bidding,
for Ring Talent

NEW YORK, July 2S.-The Evening World
says: From al accounts there will be two
pugiiistic carniva.s in the West this fall.
William A. Brady and Dan Stuart are both
figuring hard on the project but instead of
being partners in one big scheme, as many
had supposed, it now looks as though they
Will try TO rival each other. This will furnish
some tall bids for the principal matches but
Brady is thought to have the better chance
OF securing them. He is McCoys manager,
and because of that it is believed he will get
the McCoy-Creedon fight. The Maher-Sharkey
contest, however. he is not so sure of. Brady
has offered $4,000 purse, but Buck Conne.:y,
OF the Maher contingent, says no one has
claim on Makers services, and the match wi
go to the highest bidder. The Lavigne-Mc-
Partland go which is looked upon as one Of
the attractions, will probably go where the
biggest purse is, while the fight between
George Dixon and Jack MCGOWAN of Austria
liza, which, viii be an interesting affair, looks
like Brady match. Brady is very anxious
to secure this contest, and VIII. offer a big
lnducement The carnivals from present in
creations will be held in Carson and Reno, in
september and October. 1t is expected that
the expenses of each carnival which W Ii last
week at least, will be about $50 900.
