Pacific Coast Steamship Company
Will Send the senator on an
Alaskan Excursion journey

The Pacific Coast Steamship Company
have issued their Alaska excursion an
nouncement for the season of 1900. and
1t includes several new and interesting
trips.
Heretofore the summer trips OF the
steamer Queen have not extended fur
Their west than Glacier bay, and while
the scenery afforded by that trip Is
grand and beautiful beyond description
1t Is well known that the shore line and
Islands to the westward are even more
attractive, and regular tourist travellers
have anxiously waited the day when they
would he able to travel I'm "a flrst-class
steamer to that country where are seen
the highest mountains in America and
the greatest glaciers in the world.
This opportunity is now afforded. The
steamer Senator will sail from Seattle
July 81 and after following the regular
excursion route of the steamer Queen
including Wrangel, juneau. Skagway.
Sitka and Glacier bay. will skirt the
Alaska shore to the westward, passing
en- route the beautiful La Perouse. also
the Malispina glacier. which is undouht-.
eddy the largest In the world. Magniti-
cent views of Mounts Fairweather and
st. Elias will be afforded. Instead of
proceeding on the direct course the
steamer will enter Prince William nd.
ana passing along the southern IRE
of Renal peninsula, Will continue west
ward through Shelikoff straits within
sight of the PaVelon and Sishaldin vol
of miles amid the Aleutian archipelago.
terminating In the beautiful harbur of
Ounalaska or Dutch harbor Passengers
will be allowed to disembark at Dutch
harhor. and after short stop the steam
err will proceed north to the pribilof ISL
ands, the home of the seal. and thence
direct to st. Michael and Cape Nome.
After a stop OF two or three days at this
most wonderful mining city, the steamer
VIII proceed further north through Ber-
ing straits. passing East cape on the ST.
berian coast, crossing the Arctic circle
and making a short cruise In the Arctic
ocean.
This trip will consume from thirty-two
to thirty-fve days, and IS almost ident
cal with the route OF the famous Harri-
man expedition OF last summer. which con
tributed so much new material for de-
scriptive and scientific writers.
The price of this trip has been placed
at the remarkably low figure OF 500 for
the first cabin and $50 for second cabin,
including meals and berth and $50 pounds
of baggage.
The preliminary announcement of this
excursion brought many inquiries from
Eastern people, including some OF those
who were members of the Hartman party,
which made the "trip In the steamship
George w. Elder last summer and while
Il Is probable that similar excursion VIII
be offered another season. the price Will
be considerably in excess OF the rate
which the Pacific Coast steamship Com
pany are able 20 offer on this trip OF the
Senator. for tho reason that Il wal be
