THAT WHALE HARPOONEO
Four Adventurous Tacomans Are
lowed All Night by the
Leviathan.
With Cold Steel in His Body the Mon.
Ster Leads His Enemies a
Merry Chase.

TACOMA, WASH, Sept. 4.-Soon after
midnight Tuesday night whaling party,
consisting of Charles Alger, H. II .Alger,
Carl Evans and Mr.. Purple. succeeded in
sticking the first harpoon into the levia-
than that has made Henderson Bay his
home for two months past. They had
been chasing the monster all night.
The whale made off at terrific pace. and
it looked as though the adventurous occu-
pants of the boat would be towed out to sea.
They pluckily stayed with their end OF
the line, however, and at $50 in the
morning managed to land another har-
pooh where it would do the most good.
This set the big mammal going again.
These tactics were pursued all day yester-
day. Whenever their captive would get
calm enough to invite closer acquaintance
the hunters would gradually shorten space
between them and look for favorable on
portunity to reach the vital parts with
lances During the day other boats Joined
the procession, the whale at one time fur
nishing motive power for string of four
boats.
When the whale was lanced last night a
big stream of blood spurted three feet
into the air. The loss of blood weakened
him and for while his pace was slower.
but at times he would resume his rapid
gait. All last night the hunters were
towed and when last seen this mornine
they were still pursuing. 1t is believed
that the whale will be towed into mort
before morning. His oil is supposed to
he worth $1,000.

finance committee of ten, to be hereafter
announced by the chair. Frank Flint of
the Republican State Central Committee
invited the newly designated committee
to cooperate with his party during the
campaign, and motion to that effect was
carried.
A. A. Courtney of the Russ Lumber
Company was the first speaker. Mr..
Courtney has just returned from silver
Mexico, and III plain business mans
manner exploded the numerous theories
about the prosperity of our neighboring
republic. He said there was restitution,
squalor, dirt and rags in every part OF the
country; that the average wage was only
37% cents day; that out of 100000 of
population only 100000 we're in comfort
able circumstances that there were many
stranded and destitute foreigners who had
been misled into going thither by false
statements as to the prosperity there, and
who would gladly return If they could
do so.
Courtney was followed by VIC. Patter-
son. president of the Chamber of Com
merce; a. Fl. Naftzger, Hon. w. A. Har-
ris and Colonel J. Deleur.

Candidates Factoring ShOrtridge for
United States Senator viii Be Chosen.
LOS ANGELES, CAL, Sept. 4.-The Re-
publican primaries will be held to-mor-
row. Hervey Lindley will have a major
ity of the delegates to the convention,
although some slight opposition has de-
velope6 in several of the wards. R. n.
Bulla will probably be nominated for
State Senator. Six Assemblymen and one
Senator will be chosen.
The indications are that Samuel NJ.
Shortridge will be favored for United
States Senator by a majority of these, and
as the two hold-over Senators will be in
structed similarly, the chances of the San
Francisco gentleman for receiving all of
the nine votes from this section are very
good.
While Lindley may not go into the con-
ven ton with clean-cnt majority, he will
have his forces so well marshaled as to be
able to hold together and to swing the few
opposing factions into line.

boy who came in through the roof and
grown persons who never get too old to

deal of attention. An electric tea-kettIe,
which boils water in four minutes by the
watch and will cook eggs while you are

of its chief features.
