IT was proposed to blow the whis-

guests came in on next Tuesday but
it was found on second thought that
there wouldn't be any whistles to
blow as none of the plants would have

the fog as well as the great amount of

REMEMBER THE NAME

PosTEN's City Market has now
opened a first class meat market
where you will find the very best
fresh and cured meats that can be
bought.
WHY is it that the Charleston
Gazette no longer finds it's way into
the University reading room? That
it does not do so is claimed by the
Charleston Students who miss the
best paper in that section of the
state.
The work of moving the telephone
poles is going ahead with the least
possible interference with the SER

crossed with each other and with
electric light wires and then there
is fun. The men are doing the work
very fast.
THE weather man seems deter
mined to stick to his prediction OF
rain in the hope of getting it over
before Chadwick Day. He doesn' t
want it to rain ON that occasion any
more than the rest of us.

taineer the ascent requires more than
ordinary strength. This is especially
true in the case of women. and none of
the gentler sex should attempt the
journey without at least a months

twenty miles or more can be covered
without fatigue.
From Paradise Park the climb COM
mences. Two full days are usually re-
quired for the ascent, although 1t has
been made by small parties in much
less time. Camp should be broken
very early in the morning, and with the
necessary baggage strapped on pack
animals the journey is slowly contin-
ued until Camp Muir is reached.
The night is spent at this point, and
second start is made at a. m. on
the following day, in order to pass
Gibraltar Rock before the sun begins
to loosen rocks on the side OF the
mountain. The route continues past
spur which divides the Nisqually and
Cowlitz glaciers, and on to the famous
rock, which has proven stumbling
block to SO many. The terrors of pass
ing this butte causes the nerves of the
novice to tingle. He is ready to be
frightened to death by the first real or
imaginary danger, and unless securely
roped to competent guides is likely to
fall to his death.

A REMARKABLE TRIP
OF an Ocean Liner In Trying a New
Route.

OF an Ocean Liner In Trying New
The steamer Gaspesia. which was first
to attempt to reach London by the new
route via the Gulf of st. Lawrence and
Milford Haven, Wales. had three
months of such experience as happily
but seldom falls to the lot OF an ocean
liner. The dream of certain group
of capitalists is over, for although tho
distance is appreciably less by the way
proposed, the fate OF the ship which
came llmping back into port ten weeks
after every one had given her up VIII
cast a damper upon all future efforts.
The Gaspesia left Milford Haven on
Jan. IL: she made the south coast OF
Newfoundland on the 18th. and entered
the gulf on the goth. She should have
reached Paspeblac in one day. The
trip actually took six. II was Feb. 7
when she started out. with her return
cargo and three passengers. in the very
worst weather OF an unusually bitter
winter. She was caught by the ice
foes and held helpless. Keen winds
ragged about her and the rigging froze.
The fires were put out to husband coal.
and every one on board suffered from
cold. Her 70 sailors were clothed
only for an ordinary winter passage in
the North Atlantic. They did not know
when they would be released or wheth-
er they might not be driven from ship
crushed like an eggshell to wander
over the shifting foe to their death.
There are 10000 square miles OF the
Gulf of st. Lawrence. The Gaspesia
saw good deal of drifting to and fro
with the wind and current. Deliver
ance came when the famous sealing
steamer Kite signaled the Gaspesia and
went to her assistance. The Kite likes
ice: she was built to resist 1t. and car
ries dynamite to blast her way through
It. BY several days hard work her
crew opened a way for the Gaspesia,
and she reached st Johns nearly three
months out. She was almost a wreck.
and the crew and passengers were quite
exhausted. 1t may be shorter by the
new route, but the chances are that
ordinary travellers viii prefer the old
although Nansen might enjoy the trip
as practice.

Paradise Park. which is a place OF
beauty beyond description, has been
named by unframed mountain climb
ers. Here muscles are hardened by
climbing over the snow fields and gla-

customed to the high altitude. Here
also guides are to be obtained. for II is
not safe to attempt the ascent without

uncertain and storm is likely to blow
up at any time. Then the danger is
very great for even those who know
the mountain thoroughly.
