GET THROUGH
This FALL
Continued from First Page.

Livingstone will invest considerable
money, which she is taking along, in
mining properties. She is % years of age
and Mrs. Rooney is 81. The party pro-
poses to live as well as possible in Alaska
and are not sparing any money in their
outfit, which was bought entirely in
Seattle. They spent $3.50 for clothes and
furs.
Mrs. H. ]. Laritzen is another venture
some woman. A desire to be with her
husband and son. who have the mining
fever very badly, was the object that
caused this accomplished Eastern lady to
leave pretty home in Brooklyn. She is
not bit sorry she is going up to this
point and does not anticipate any change
of feeling. Mrs. Laritzen will sleep in
sleeping g-robes instead OF sleeping bags, as
are usually taken. Her costume in
Alaska will be bloomers, covered by
snort skirt and a heavy fur waist.
Possibly the most interesting of all the
passengers is Harvard graduate of the
class of 1898, a schoolteacher and news
paper woman. The little lady com bining
all these points is Mrs. L. c. Rowland,
who was originally Boston girl, but who
has been living for several years in San
Francisco. Mrs. Rowland intends to
teach school in Dawson City while her
husband manages one of Mayor Woods
river steamers. She is taking Ii brary,
including a complete outfit of the last
textbooks for children and along more
advanced lines.
1t was expected that the steamer City OF
Seattle would sail to-day for Juneau and
Dyea, but it was found i'm possible to OBJ
tain some portion of the equipment
necessary for the longer voyage to A taska.
In order to prevent disappointment to the
many passengers who have engaged pass
age it has been arranged that the steamer
City of Kingston shall take the sailing
and it is expected that she will be ready
to leave Seattle tomorrow at noon, or
twelve hours after it was proposed to ais
patch the City of Seattle. Ii is possible
that the City OF Seattle will be placei on
the Victoria run for few days until the
balance of her equipment has been re-
ceived and when this is to hand she will
be placed perm anently on the Alaska run
as originally intended and the City of
Kingston will go back to he Victoria run.
The steamer Farallon cast off lines at
Schwabacher's wharf to-day and is now
sailing for Dyea and Skaguay with 120
passengers and seventy head of horses.
Last evening the tugboat May flower ar
rived in port from Astoria, having in tow
a seventy-foot barge which is being sent
north on hunt for business. The par
ties owning the Mayfower and QUILTING
the expedition are all Astoria men who
propose to run a store at Dyea. The May
flower has a capacity for sixty five passen-
gers.
1t Is expected tonight that the steamer
Eugene, under the management of the
Portland and Alaska Trading and Trans
portation Company, will leave Portland
for the Sound. The Eugene will leave
Portland with only working crew aboard
and make the outside trip to the Sound
in tow of one of the Q. R. & N. tugs.
The passengers engaging transportation
TO the Yukon River leave Portland in
time to connect with the steamer Bristol,
on which they will embark for st.
Michael, which will be reached by Sep
tembe g with the steamer Eugene in
convoy. After arriving at the mouth of
the Yukon no time will be lost in trans
ferring the passengers from the Bristol to
The steamer Eugene and the start for
Dawson City will be begun. The Eugene
being of light draught and with nothing
in tow, it is promised that the trip to
Dawson CITY will be made in ten days or
less, landing all the passengers in the
heart of the new goldtields in ample time
to prepare winter quarters preparatory to
commencing active work in the hunt for
cold
