rented from the railroad company. the
order has very wide scope. The main
purpose OF the innovation is to prevent
the trainmen from drinking while on
duty. At the same time the order will
cut of a large portion of the revenue
of the railroad company, for at the
many stations along the road rents for
restaurants have largely increased
after the proprietors have obtained Ii

THE pLucnEsT wonAN IN ALASKA
Just Out From the POrcupine-Taking a
 Vacation.

A small, pretty red checked woman, about twenty, eight years old, that weighs about 13O pounds, of the medi- um blonde type, is a hurried descrip- ton of the pluckiest woman in Alaska, and her name is Mrs. Lida Danforth. She is the wife of Manley Danforth, who is a marine engineer and has lived in tho Sound country for years. He will be remembered as one of the trial jurors in the famous Krug embezzle- ment case, which was tried in Seattle in 1894. Mrs. Danforth is native of Olympia, Wash, where her parents re- side at the present time.
 Mir. and Mrs. Danforth have been married for about ten years. They have no children and are therefore insepara- bIe, and she is seldom seen when she is not with him. They came to Alaska some three or four years ago and he ac- cepted the position as engineer of the Alaska. a small steamer belonging to Wilson & Sylvester, of Fort WrangeI. She was always with him on the boat, and Capt. Bell, who was in command, often said of her that she was fine sailor. A rough and stormy trip never seemed to affect her and when the boat Iunged the most she was always full or fun and good humor.
 Some six years ago she was with him on the boat when some of the steam pipes bursted. She was blown out through door onto the deck, but for tunateIy not overheard. MT. Danforth, for few minutes, thought his plucky little wife had gone flui, but she crawl ed to the stern of the boat and was soon all right, her injuries not being as se- were as his. She has had several mar row escapes while with her husband steamboating, but she never received any injuries that marred her good looks or shattered her nerves. At an. other time she was on the upper deck with her husband when the wind blew her off into the water She kept her self afoat until she was rescued which was done with great difficulty.
 On the 9th of last March Mir. Dan forth and his wife started for the Por- cupine country. People generally thought it an unwise move for either of them to start in so early for it is hard trip for a strong, healthy man, but Mrs. Danforth would go despite the protests of her friends. They went to Haines where they stayed several days and from there they travelled for five days before they reached Camp Walker, Mrs. Danforth walking most of the way. The weather was extremely cold and the snow was very deep. It was hard trip and probably for the first time in her l life she slept on a bed made on the snow. They remained in the Porcupipe district until the beginning of this month. Her experiences are varied while in that country. She was not content to do the housekeeping, but made numerous trips to different parts of the district, one of which was to the
Douglas Island news., 1899-10-25

Big Salmon, she probably being the first woman to visit the head waters of that stream. She heard of sick na- tive woman some three miles from where she was camped. She made trip over to where she was and found her a very sick person. She nursed her until she got better and then got some men to carry her down to the camp on an improvised stretcher and she has completely recovered and is now in Ju- neau.
 Mrs. Danforth is of jolly, happy dis position and enjoys looking at the fun ny side of what is going OH. She told the writer about the numerous escapes that several persons had upin that dis trict from being shot by mistake. Men who are out hunting will shoot at every moving thing and poor craftsmanship saved several lives last summer. 1t was with laughter that she related to the writer how, a prospector up in that district, whose sense of danger was so keenly developed, that all summer long he carried a COW bell strapped around his neck that gave notice to all who were within a quarter of a mile of him.
 On the 4th of this month MT. and Mrs. Danforth left their camp and ar rived at Porcupine City next day. From their camp they walked to the klahee- ma river, a distance of two miles. From there they came down the river to with in few miles of Haines in an Indian canoe. They were in Klukwan about 9 o'clock in the morning and before 10 they were on their way to the mouth of the Chilkat.
 Coming down that river may seem like an easy job and the writer would think it was, if he had never had any practical experience, but he sailed part way up and down and knows some thing about the pleasures and sorrow ful features of the trip. But we will here quote our heroine:
 eve aoated down the river very nice ly until we got to within seven or eight miles from Haines, and from there we had an awful time getting off the sand bars. We were within about eight miles of Haines at 5 o'clock in the evening and yet did not get to Haines until Il o'clock that night and the distance we walked was only about one miIe' 1t was impossible to keep in the channel, and when on the bars the Indians had to get out and pull the boat off which was doubly difficult and dangerous when there was quick sand. Then l think it was one of the darkest nights I ever experienced. I don't believe l ever saw it so dark before.
 "Oh yes, I must tell you of party that came down the next day. They got onto the bars close to the shore and they sat down by the foot of big tree where they remained all night, They had nothing to eat and when they got to Haines the next day I can assure you they had appetites with them"
 "Did it rain any, coming down the river?" the News man asked.
 "To correctly describe what it did, l should say it poured. Yes, it just poured down all day and all night. l
