Freight for Alaska from Portland should be shipped from Portland to Tacoma via Northern Pacific Railroad
at least two days before the sailing; of the steamer from Tacoma.
Passengers intending to take the steamer at Tacoma should arrive there early enough to go on board the
evening previous to the sailing, as the steamer leaves Tacoma at 4 a. m.
These dates, as far as they relate to ports in Alaska, are purely approximate. In case of steamers calling
at other ports, which they are liable to. or in case of fogs or other unfavorable weather, tides, ete. these dates
Cannot be relied on. It is not unlikely that ports for some reason, may be stopped at going south instead of
going north, as scheduled. This schedule is made to give an approx male idea of dates when steamers should
be at the different ports providing all the conditions are favorable.
