GOING TO THE KLoNDIKE.
Lewiston People Getting Up an Expedi-
ton.

A Klondike expedition with capital of
$4,000 is being organized in Lewiston,
says the Journal, and will leave for the
Yukon valley the 18th of January Among
the promoters of the scheme are Mr.. Fred
Chagnon and Florian Desjardins. The
plan is briefly this: To purchase sohoon-
er or steamer in Portland, and put in a
supply of provisions for tive years. A
supply of goods for trading with the
miners will also be put in to help pay the
cost of the expedition. 5
The vessel will sail on January 18th on
its three months voyage to the Yukon,
taking its crew of twenty mentor the
company is limited to twenty men-each
of whom must make a deposit of $500
toward the 600 capital stock, A meet
ing will be held Thursday night of this
week for the purpose of organizing the
company and electing officers. A cash
deposit of 800 will be demanded at this
the persons present at the organization
and formation of the expedition viii go.
Only men in good health, and capable of
standing the vigor of the northern ele-
ments will be admitted.
Nearly half the membership has now
been secured, and the most unique part
of the plan, considering that Lewiston is
an inland town, is that the ships crew
and captain will be, made up from men
from this city. Mr.. Florian Desjmdins
is an old sea captain, and will probably
command the vessel We have many
sailors. MIR. Jean Baptiste Rouillart edi-
| Tor of the Republique. Lewiston PAPER,
and an old miner and Canadian mine in
spector, will probably join the PARTY.
Mr. Chagnon says that he expects that
| the Lewiston expedition will round Cape
| Horn and reach San Francisco before
spring, and that Joe Lezotte will be taken
on. The plan is not to go to the Klon-
dixie the first year, but to prospect il the
United States territory along the Yukon
district. Mr.. @. j. Stoddard of Gnene,
and his son intend to go to Alaska next
spring, and will probably be invited to
join the Lewiston expedition.

MIX UP DOWN THE HARBoR.
A Queer Thing Which Happened in the
Ship Channel.

The fish arrivals yesterday were the
Albert W. Black with 5000, the John
Knight with 5000, the Thomas Knight
with $1,000, the Robert and Carr with
$4,000 and the Mystic Tie with 5000.
The British schooner Jes sic B. brought
in big cargo of dry fish yesterday for
Willard. She had on board 500 quintals
mostly cod.
The tow boat Demerest has been fitted
out with new smoke stack, thing that
she has long stood in need of.
A queer thing occurred in the harbor
yesterday morning which came very near
resulting seriously for good many
schooners. About nine o'clock it was
blowing very freshly outside but in the
channel entering the harbor there was no
wind whatever and as fast as vessel got
well in by Portland head it was becalmed
and drifted about at the mercy of the
tide and current. 1t happened that about
20 schooners of all sizes came in Tor har-
Dor at about the same time and were all
becallned in a bunch. The result was
that the little vessels went bobblng about
among the big ones. the big ones drifted
down onto some of the little ones who
would be obliged to scramble fol deal
life to prevent collision. The wind finally
sprung up but this made things worse
instead of better. 1t blew from all points
of the compass and it caused such mix
up as never was seen before in this har'
bor Only one accident resulted however.
A three masted schooner lost some part OF
her gear and came very near poklng a
hole through the side of little coaster.
Finally some of the tow boats arrived on
the spotsand succeeded in extrieating the
big vessels from their difficulties. The
little coasters, and some which were not
very little got out their boats and dor1es
and were towed up the harbor to an
anchoring place in the roads where they
were in safety.
