stimulants would reduce the allegel climate

WHAT WILL BE DONE
THE BOARD OF TRADE AND WASH
INGTON CLUB.
What is Suggested for the GOOD OF
the Tive Institutions and
the Olympia MntaI

A subject was discussed before the board
OF trade last night the outcome of which
will be looked for with interest. For some
time past members who are equally inter
ested in the Washington club, the board of
trade and the Olympia hotel have been dis
cussing method by which all three insti-
tutions could be materially benefited.
1t is claimed by some members that the
Washington club rooms detract from the
patronage of the hotel, because visitors to
the city are entertained at the former place,
In view Of efforts which have been made to
place the board of trade upon more sub
stantial basis and give its stock cash value
suggestions were made last night and freely
discussed.
The idea is to secure for the Washington
club suitable quarters in the hotel which
can be fitted up and furnished with con-
Yenlences and accommodations equal to
those provided by the clnb. III this way n
was thought that all responsibility of the
club III maintaining refreshments can be
disposed Of. The mayor and some members
OF the council state that they are continu.
ally in receipt of complaints and must
sooner or later take action in the matter.
II IS thought that some arrau cement can
pe perfected, whereby the club prop
erty may be assigned to the board
Of trade, each member of the club taking
stock in the board to the value of that,
paid on the club assessment, the board to
assume the payment of the balance of
about $1,000 due on the Washington street
property.
In order to bring the matter to point, a
committee consisting j. F. Convey A. III.
Chambers and M. A. Root all Of whom
are members Of the club and the board Of
trade, was appointed to confer with the
trustees Of the club and to perfect, il pos
sible, arrangements for change.
OPPOSED TO CONSOLIDATION.
'Ihe mossbackism of Olympia was never
more apparent than in the opposition to
the progressive Washington club by lot
Of gin mill keepers, who, through certain
patrons are trying to wipe out the club in
orderto save somebody's bar-room from
Der Of the club today. He grew
more indignant as he discussed the pro
posed consolidation with the board of
trade, and said: "The club is the best
thing that Olympia has had since the
city was founded. 1t started out in
progressive way and is on the same
footing as the clubs of Tacoma & Seattle
where refreshments are served. There is
no trouble there between the clubs and
the authorities ON the refreshment ques-
ton, but here the picayune politicians OPP
pose the club in order to stand in with
saloon men on election day. ! am tired of
it,"

T,he Plar Last Niphf.

Twas pity that the Olympia theater
was not well filed last night to witness as
good light comedy as has been pre-
sented there this season Like Elm
cog" the play of "The President" was
laughable throughout, while the company
was composed of excellent actors. Frank
David and Charlotte Tittell were the lead
ing actors. "The President" is an entirely
new play and has met with success else
where. 1t was well advertised here, but
for some reason the people did not turn
out to see it.

SOUTH BEND, Nov. 1.-THE Journal says
the scene at the wreck of the large iron
ship Strathblane, which went ashore near
North Beach on Tuesday, the 3D. inst, as
told by eye witnesses was fearful Word
was sent to the Fort Candy life saving sta
ton as soon as possibl and the crew, Cap
tain Harris in command, proceeded to IL
waco, where they boarded the train and
were taken to the scene, arriving there
about o'clock The delay was occa-
stoned by the failure to call up the oper-
ator at the fort. Word was finally carried
on horseback.
Immediately all was confusion on board.
1t was too rough to launch the boats and
the crew and passengers had to swim for
their lives.
The log book and $500 in money were put
in tightly sealed tin box and thrown to
the mate, who had leaped into the foam

not take care Of it, and it was lost
