VICTORIA SAILS, BIG MAIL
CARGO AND PASSENGER LIST
SEATTLE, June 2.—Following
the Umatilla the Victoria sailed
twelve hours later, getting away
this morning at ten o’clock with a
full cargo, twenty-nine thousand
pounds of mail and about the same
number of passengers as the Uma
tilla, one hundred being steerage,
thirty-one second class and the bal
ance first class. .
Among the well known Nomeites
taking passage on this boat are: J.
Johnson and wife, G. P. Goggin, J.
J. Cole, C. Brandt, Frank Hall, S.
Bakke, R. Carroll, Jake Berger and
wife, P. Coe, M. Neider, C. Hackett,
Pete Brandt, Tom Ross, J. Bachel
der, wife and child, W. Hopp, A.
Wetzel], Roy Clarke, F. Nicholson,
Morton Howe, Mrs. Monreysen, Sam
Gaylord and Mrs. H. Gaylord, Mrs. |
G. J. and Miss Helen Lomen, Harry
Marcus, W. Cochrane, A,. Kah,
Judge Reed, Bill Eddy, William Gii
mor,e R. Holland, A. Kellog and
wife, W. Gilseen and wife, W. Bai
ley, J. Bell, Jas. P. Daly, J. O,Hallo
rail, Cap Sundback, Alex Young, etc.
etc.
A notable fact in connection with
the passengers on both the Umatilla
and the Victoria is that a consider
able number are old timers, and
there are very few new passengers
for the north, most having seen not
only several summers but many
winters in Nome and vicinity. In
cluding the number of St. Michaels
in the list, the passenger list is
lighter thn in several years.
