threatened by the enemy. Furthermore,
1t has the National Guardsmen of $4,000

Spain, too, Is prepared for hostilities.

Camp over the summit $500 feet above

this empties into Long lake, which in turn
empties into Lake Lindermann.
The rates for passengers from Tacoma,
Seattle, Port Townsend, Victoria and
Vancouver to Fort Wrangel are: First
class, $50; second-class, 500; to Juneau,
first, $35; second, 500; to Haines' Mission,
This includes meals, berth and 100 pounds
of baggage. Extra baggage three cents u
pound. Miners outfits are classed as
freight. Freight rates are as follows: To
Fort Wrangel, So a ton of 1000 pounds,
or of 40 cubic feet at the ships option; to
Juneau, SO per ton; to Haines' Mission,
Skaguay and Dyea, $13 per ton; horses,

does not include landing charges at the
port of destination.
Another suggestion may be timely: All
vessels don't leave Seattle or Tacoma on
schedule time. Some of the old tubs delay
as long as ten days or two weeks. They
do this because it takes so long to stop
the cracks in the hull and fix rotten ma
