Vernon County censor. [volume] (Viroqua, Wis.) 1865-1955, 1898-03-02

Tomorrow Louis and Ernest Kier will
depart for the Klondike in Alaska.
They long since became imbued with
the idea that they wanted some expert
ence in roughing it and an opportunity
to pick up gold Nuggets. They are ex-
emplary young men aged, respectively,
~ and % years; weigh close to $50
each, have rugged constitutions, acrus-
toned TIC hard work In fact they
possess the essential physical qualifca-
tions to make such periloas trip with
it's attendant harlships. They will visit
their brother Will in Washington and
then go to Seattle, where they embark
at the first opportunity. They will go
by the short route of Chilkoot Pass, and
expect to reach Dawson City within a
month after leaving Seattle, if every
thing goes we'll with them. They go
prepared with full years outfit of pro-
visions and other things. Much of the
necessaries they take from here, the
balance will be secured at Seattle That
our readers may understand what is
necessary the CENSOR gives below very
nearly the list the Kier boys take with
them. This amount each OF takes.
