MOVE TO SEATTLE
HEADQUARTERS OF COLUMBIA
WILL BE CHANGED.
General Randall, His STAFF and Other
High Officers Will Leave Van
cOuver---The Loss of Army Trade
to City of Portland Will Be
Great.

Portland, Or, Aug. 2.-According to
reports current in army circles, the
headquarters of General q. r. Randall,
commander of the Department of the
Columbia, are to be moved from Van
couver to Seattle. Citizens of Seattle
have been working hard for some time
to induce the war department to make
the change, and although their move
ments were known to the people of this
city, mo great efforts were made by Port
landers to offset them.
When General Randall goes he will
take with him the chief quartermaster,
chief commissary, chief of ordnance,
paymaster, signal officer and chief of
surgeons. 1t is natural that the sup
plies of each of these important
branches of the department will be
bought wherever the chief officer re-
sides, SO the loss in business to Port
land may be quickly appreciated.
The reasons given for the removal are
that Seattle is more central than Van
couver. when Alaska is considered, and
that the head of the department should
not reside at the garrison. Where the
head officer and the post commander
have different opinions in regard to the
conduct OF the post, there is likely to
be friction. GeneralA Randall is the
only department commander in the
United States whose headquarters are
in garrison. The other commanding
generals all reside in cities. A sub
station for the purchase of supplies will
be retained in Portland. Col. Jacobs.
who has had charge of the quarter
masters department here since 1899,
will retire from the position within
few weeks, but who his successor is to

INvINCIsLE NAVY.
Our Fighters of the Sea to BE Made
Impregnable.

Washington, d. c., Aug. with
the full development of the appliances
of war within it's control, the United
States will be in position to defy the
navies of the world. A few days ago it
was made known through the news
papers that army ordnance experts had
developed a shell and fuse which will
penetrate the armament used by battle.
ships from ~ to IA inches thick. To
meet this invention, foreign nations
would need to inclose their ships of war
with from 1000 to 10000 tons of
armor.
Now, Lieutenant Davis, attached to
the naval ordnance bureau. has pro-
duced an armor plate which, it is be-
lieved by the naval experts, is sufficient
to Withstand the new projectile of the
war department.
If the government is able to keep the
secret of these inventions, have its new
ships clad with the new armor and
armed with guns capable of carrying
the new shell and explosive, the United
States navy would be the terror Of the
world, able to sink an enemy's feet
and remain unframed.
The best ships of Great Britain and
Germany now building carry but 1900
tons of armor. This would be compar-
atively useless against the new projec-
tile and explosive. The new Davis
armor on the other hand is declared to
be one-third lighter for the same resist
ing power, and Consequently American
ships incased in this armor would be
OF less draught, speedier and invulnera-
BILE to attack.

by Earthquake.

Santa Barbara, CAL, Aug. 2.-The
inhabitants of the little town of Los
Alamos, which has been the center of
seismic disturbances since last Sunday,
are huddled around a large bonfire
waiting for daylight to come. Many of
the residents have left for places ont
side of the temblor belt. Those who
have remained could not we'll abandon
their business. The town of Los Ala
mos is situated on the Pacific Coast rail
way, midway between Santa Ynez and
Santa Maria, in the long narrow valley
of the Los Alamos, Is miles from the
coast. 1t has population of about 800
persons.
The Los Alamos valley is from one
half mile to one mile wide. It's pOpu-
lation is about 500. There are no brick
buildings in the little village. and the
damage thus far is limited to the ruin
of plaster, the collapse of chimneys, the
breaking of crockery and glassware. the
falling of he walls of the Presbyterian
church and two store buildings, and
the demolishing of an old adobe build
ing which was seriously damaged with
the first quake on Sunday night.
The damage will not exceed $40 900
in the opinion of conservative residents
of the place. The tank house of David
Greenlee collapsed and his residencs

TRACY ONCE MORE
OREGON OUTLAW APPEARS NEAR
WENATCHEE.
Held Up Family There and Secured
Fresh Horses as Well as Food.
Appeared Excitable and Nervous,
But Showed No Sign of Being
Wounded.

Spokane, Aug. 4.-From latest in
formation it is believed that Tracy is
making his way by night rides in a
roundabout manner toward Davenport.
Saturday night, stranger riding
horse like the last one appropriated by
the outlaw, passed the house of John
Sterrett, on Connewai creek, IL miles
rom Davenport. He inquired the way
to Davenport from Mrs. Sterrett, but
did not come near the house, shouting
his inquiry from the road. Posses are
guarding every outlet from the section
where the outlaw is supposed to be, and
there are rumors of his being seen in
several places Saturday.
Wenatchee, Aug. Harry Tracy,
desperate and escaped convict, crossed
the Columbia river at Moses Coulee
ferry, 10 miles south of Wenatchee, and
ia now somewhere in the Businesses of
the broken country of Moses and Grand
Coulees, in central Douglas county.
News was brought to Wenatchee by
Sam MscEldowney who lives on Stemilt
creek, seven miles south of town.
Just how Tracy arrived at this vicin-
ity is not certain, but it is supposed
that after escaping from the sheriff's
posse near Palmer he came over the
mountains by the Snoqualmie trail.
Thence he must have turned north
along the road via Blewitt, which leads
into Wenatchee valley. How he man
aged to evade recognition is problem,
as this road is the main thoroughfare
over the mountains, and be must have
been seen by many persons.
|. When he arrived here he was mount
ed on good saddle horse, with COM
plete camp equipment. Such an outfit,
however, is SO common that Tracy
would readily pass as a sheep herder or
prospector, without question.
Tracy accosted City Councilman W.
A. Sanders and Sam MacEldowney.
"Stop. SAM" said the convict, 81
see you don't remember me-"
MacEldowney, who formerly lived
near Portland and had known Tracy be-
fore his conviction, whirled back like
fash and looked at him keenly
"My God" he exclaimed, ''it's
Harry Tracy"
Tracy, with perfect GOODNESS, now took
charge of all proceedings. The trio
went to the house. Sanders and Mac,
Eldowney in the lead, and Tracy and
his ever ready gun. following. In the
house the family gathered for dinner,
together with two farm hands. They
were just taking their seats in their
usual position when the three entered.
"My friends" said Tracy, "Mr.
MacEldowney knows who 1 am, and
that what l say goes. Do just as l
say"
He then ordered his unwilling hosts
to proceed with the meal. Until after
supper the convict remained there, and
upon securing new horses started out
again ON his unchecked career of
crime,
Tracy appeared to be very nervous
and restless. but showed no signs of be-
ing wounded. He talked rapidly and
excitedly nearly all the time, but cum
ningly RETAINED from disclosing his
future plans. !
