A special dispatch from Renton to the

that the Oregon Improvement Company
had built spur track there yesterday on
which to run its cars so the engines on the
Belt Line could be coaled from them. An
injunction was gotten out to restrain the
company from putting in the track, but
Superintendent McCabe could not be
found, so the injunction could not be
served. When night came on the citizens
gathered in large numbers and tore up
every vestige of the work.

can American Princess"

If one can Judge the general taking quail
tiles of play by the demeanor of an audi
ence, then the popularity of "An Ameri-
can Princess, " at Cordray's, is assured for
the week. The entire production was rem
dered amid bursts of laughter and ripples
of merriment that surged all over the
house, from the footlights to the gallery
gods rostrum. AS literary production
the piece, like most of its kind, is of ordi-
nary merit. Every part is intended to con-
tribute to the luster of the starring role,
Princess O'Shaunnessy, and as a result the
main interest is centered on the inter prefer
OF that character
And Miss Jennie Calef sustained the
role admirably. She was vivacious, grace
tul, piguant and racy. Her laugh was as
sweet as the carol of the lark and she bor-
rowed the melodious notes of the mocking
bird when she whistled with airy lightness
several well-known melodies. Her dane
ing and singing were highly appreciated.
Miss Eleanor Barry appeared as Juanita
Trottori, the scheming accomplice Of
the villain of the piece. She
was thoroughly earnest and effective

largely to the enjoyment of the evening,

smack of managerial art about it, there is
sufficient amusement afforded to make
even the hypercritical overlook the I'M

performance deserves liberal patronage
and, from its character, is sure to pack the
theater nightly.

WORLDS FAIR WORK.
Meeting to Organize q King County

Meeting to Organize a King County
Columbian Auxiliary.
The committee to arrange for the organ
ization of King county Columbian
auxiliary has issued the following call
through its secretary, d. Il. Ward:
The benefits to be derived by the state of
Washington from proper showing, such an
one as can be made at the Columbian exposi'
ton, will be many and great and aside from
these material benefits, consideration of patriot
ism and state pride should be incentive enough
to lead every citizen of the state to take a per-
sonal interest in the work of the Worlds fair.
What ID true as to the state is also true OF every
county and district OF the state,
With laudable desire to see our own county,
wonderful in her resources of mineral, agricu,-
tural, horticultural, her fisheries and lumber
fully representa- In the greatest exposition the
world has ever known, it has been deemed ad-
visable to supplement the able and intelligent
efforts of the state commission of the exposition
in every way possible. The better to do this it
has been suggested that a county organization
be formed to be known as the "King County
Columbian Auxiliary"
The preliminary work necessary to the forma-
ton of such an organization has, in part, been
accomplished by the committee appointed to
formulate plan for such an association. And
the citizens of King county interested in this
work are hereby urged to meet in mass conven-
ton at the rooms of the Chamber of Commerce,
in the city of Seattle, on Friday evening, July
q, at the hour of o'clock, for the purpose of
COMPREHENSIVE organization. 1t Is the thought
OF the committee that all citizens of the county
should be entitled to membership without the
payment of fee or dues.
1t has been suggested that the officers of the
auxiliary be a president, corresponding secre-
tary, recording secretary, treasurer, executive
committee OF five and thirteen vice presidents,
one for each representative district. The object
of the auxiliary will be to further the efforts of
the state commission

"Coast Reviews" Comments on the
Efficiency OF the Seattle Fireboat.

"Coast Reviews" Comments on the
Efficiency OF the Seattle Fireboat.
The Coast Rcvieg, the leading insurance
journal of the Coast, in its last issue has
this to say of the Seattle freboat and the
proposition to make it do the work of a
tugboat:
At the recent big fire in Seattle the fireboat
Snoquaimie did excellent service There is per-
haps no other small city where fireboat can
be quite so useful. Comparison with the Seattle
fireboat may be safely challenged by her de-
sgner. We observe that an effort is still
being made to employ the boat as a garbage
scow tower. The board OF health has recently
petitioned the city council To allow such use Of
the freboat II was claimed that the San Fran
cisco fireboat was used for such purpose 1t is
not so used. Underwriters will not permit the
Seattle fireboat to be used as a towboat without
an advance in fire insurance rates. The city
might save 500 per month thereby, but prop
erty-hoders would pay much more than that in
additional rates. 1t is worth recording here
that the boat was of little service at the burning
of the steamer Flyer. June 10. According to a
speech OF a member OF the city council the fire.
boat has been inetiiciently manned, for which
he holds the fire commissioners responsible
Either a foolish economy or contemplate parti.
san politics is re- ponsibIe.
