or two at Great Falls to see her mother
and a day in Spokane to view the Won

but, to use a typical western phrase. if
AlillS w lOl tOIle H0I way Sue may
come back to Montana in the all. AS
to just what course she will pursue after
arriving at her destination she has 0
yet decided, but believes she would like
to go on the beach and wash gold from
the sand, provided there is room for one
more. Being a bright, intelligent woman,
she prefers lighter employment as a
starter. however. II understand there
are -four newspapers in Nome" said she
today and if I can get a position on one
l viii take it, because I am qualified and
it will give me an opportunity to see
what is going on in the country. 1t is
the only real work for which I hav a
longing"
Continuing, Miss McAndrews said: II
desire, through the columns of the Inter
Mountain, to thank all my friends for the
support they gave me in the contest,
especially those in Anaconda and Butte,
and the Inter Mountain company for its
kind consideration of me since the con
test ended. It will be one cf the cherish
ed memories of my life. / feel amply re-
paid for the efforts put forth by me in
winning the victory
Miss McAndrews will carry with her
not only the good wishes of the Inter
Mountain and the public generally for
her success in the north. but also some
very nice letters of recommendation
ticular and Montana in general. Among
the epistles is one from Postmaster Irwin
and one from Senator Mantle, who have
influential friends in the Nome gold
fields. Through the kindness of Major
Dawson Of the Great Northern, all of her
excess baggage will be checked through
to Nome free of charge. and she will be
accorded all the privileges of first class
accommodations over the Great North
ern to Seattle and on the steamship on
which she will leave Seattle. The major
has given her a letter to the Seattle
agents of the Pacific Coast Steamship
mpa and they will see to 1t that she
has first class accommodations on their
steamer.
Although the traveller will start from
Butte alone. she will be accompanied
north from Seattle by friends.
