8upple Widow in Fifties Wants
to Find Husband in
Valdez
This in leap year and I ho girls
arc supposed lo have things all
their own way, hut those of Val
dez will have to got busy if they
wish to keep ahead of the girls on
I lie outside. The news that Val
dez. is fast becoming known on
tho outside as a good mining
camp and that many of tin* old
sourdoughs are liable to be mil
lionaires in, the near future is not
being overlooked even by the wid
ows, both sod and grass.
The following • letter was re
ceived in I he last mail and shows
there is yet hope for many a mem
ber of the Moose. If they are pos
sessed of sutlieient funds they
should lose no time in gelling the
address of a California widow who
has written the postmaster here,
for she is prepared to deliver the
goods. She is not desirous of
adopting any kid of 40 or 50 years
of age and they need not apply.
She writes:
Dear Sir: This is leap year.
I am a widow in the tlfties:
healthy, brown hair and red
cheeks. Supple as a girl of 20.
Neat, pretty and good natured.
Good cook, which is better than
good looks lo sonic men. Have
heard there are many widowers
up there well able to support a
wife. Am positive I could niakv
a home happy for a good loan, anu
none other need write. He must
have money enough for both ot us
for 1 have none whatever. Am
tired of living alone, so I trust yon
will aid us widows this year by
handing this to an elderly widow
er in the sixties or seventies. It
they live at a mine 1 would think
thai grand."
Postmaster Jefferson does noi
wish to show any partiality among
his friends and as he cannot qual
ify on account of the age limit,
he will furnish bona tide inquir
ers with the lady's address, which
is withheld to prevent a rush.

PORTLAND LINE
IS ASSURED
8t. Helens Will Make at Least
Three Trips During
Season
Forty per cent of I In* inquiries
son I out by (lie I ransport ation
committee of lite chamber of com
merce in determine lh<> altitude
of the merchants of Portland to
ward the proposed steamship line
to Alaska, have been answered,
ami without exception the re
plies have hcen favorable to the
new movement.
\V. S. Smallwood. of the trans
portation eommittee, says that the
etl'ort to secure the 200 tons «»f
freight required to get a ship sent
into Portland by the Dodge com
pany, of San Francisco, will be
hurried forward as fast as pos
sible, for it is necessary to have
the full amount in sight within
a short time.
The SI. Helens will carry the
first cargo out of Portland Mav
27. Tereafter connections will
be made with the SI. Helens at
Seattle by other ships sailing oul
of Portland. <«oods sent in this
way, however, will be billed from
Portland, so thai I lie etTecl will
lie the same as if a direct sailing
were made.
K. A. Parr, traffic manager of
the Dodge company, was in Port
land from San Francisco recent
ly and said:
"The three shipments lo be
made Ibis year are merely the en
tering wedge." he said. "They
will serve lo show Alaska that
shipments can he made direct
from Portland and will render il
an easy mailer for Portland to
gel into the ring next fall for con
tracts for shipments in the suc
ceeding year. I believe that your
movement was started this year
a trifle too late to do more than
make a beginning. However, I he
three shipments you will make
Ibis summer will pave the way
for a campaign for trade thai
should bring your merchants
enough contracts next fall—the
contracts for merchandise to
Alaska are all made in the fall
as a rule—to make it possible for
cur company to put a boat on the
line that shall carry a full cargo
oul of this city and will not need
to complete her cargo at any oth
er place along the coast."
