It was a beautiful evening and Ole,
who had screwed up courage to take
Mary for a ride, was carried away
by the magic of the night.
"Mary,” he asked, "will you marry
me?”
“Yes, Ole,” she answered softly.
Ole lapsed into a silence that at last
ecame painful to his fiance.
"Ole,” she said desperately, “why
don’t you say something?”
"Aye tank,” Ole replied, “hey bane
too much said already.”

MARIPOSA GOMES
Left Seattle With 177 Passengers—
Will Sail for the South To
morrow Morning.
.
The steamer Mariposa, iu command
of Captain Charles O'Brien, reached
Valdez at 10 o’clock last night with
a dozen passengers for this port. The
steamer left Seattle with 177 passen
gers for Ketchikan, Juneau, Skag
way, Cordova, Valdez and Seward, in
dicating that the travel back to Alas
ka has commenced in earnest
Steward Teddy Taylor, as usual,
treated his passengers so well that
they haled to leave the ship. But
then Teddy does that all the time and
the oldtimers are getting used to it.
it was not always thus on the steam
ers coming to Alaska.
In spite of the large number of pas -
sengers they were well cared for on
the ship, as the 22 new two-berth
rooms built this winter when the ship
was overhauled, has provided plenty
of berth accommodation.
The Mariposa brought 75 tons of
freight for Valdez, 20 tons for Fort
Liscum, and also a shipment for the
Ellamar mine. The steamer sailed
west at midnight and is expected to
reach Valdez early in the morning.
