A number of stops will be on the trip, and two days will be spent at Skagway, the northern point of the trip. They will return home from Seattle, Wash., over the C. M. & St. P. route, arriving here about Sept. 4. The trip will be made with a personally conducted excursion from Chicago, and the entire necessary expenses are covered In the price 3475 per person. With the extra Incidentals one will likely spend the cost will probably run well over the 3500 figure. This trip would cost 3275 more if taken after Aug. 20, when the new railroad tariffs go into effect, we are.

He was there for several months, going in on the last boat in the fall and out on the first boat in the spring. ■—
