best interests of Trinity University

is about to undertake is that of rails
ing funds for the purpose OF erect
ing a dormitory for the boys on the
university campus before the begin
ming of another school term. That
a dormitory for the boys is an alb
solute necessity no one can deny.
The future success of the univer-
sity depends largely upon the early
completion of hall where boys
can secure board at a minimum cost
and where they will be more con-
yeniently located to the school.
At the last meeting of the board
of trustees this matter was discuss
ed at some length. the final result
being that Rev. Smith was selected
by the board to undertake the work
of raising the money required for the
erection and equipment of board
ing hall for boys The board has
asked for the sum of $4,000 and
Mr. Smith has been given three
months in which TO travel over the
state in an effort to raise that
amount Mr.. Smith fully appreci
ates the need of dormitory and
he will not be lax in performing the
duties imposed on him by the board.

is Confident

Prom information which l have re-
ceived can say honestly and confidently
that expect to he elected. feel en-
tirely capable of filling the Office. I
think that l am possessed Of sufficient
honesty and common sense to do that"
Such was the statement made by George
p. Wright, Democratic candidate for
mayor, at the Democratic mass meeting in
Germania hall last night.
''Snce being nominated, he continued
II have been going about the city a good
deal, and find that the Democratic plat
form is being discussed regardless of poll
tics. The keynote of that platform Is
Equal rights to all and special privileges
to none Everybody is sick and tired of
the fight that is going on in the city
administration. / can fight and have back
bone enough to stand up for what | be-
lieve is right. / do not parade myself
as a fighter, and, if elected, will give the
Snoqualmie Power company and the Pus
get Sound Electric company exactly the
same privileges"
Other speakers were Hugh Farley, Frank
b. Cole, Il. L. Hiberly, j. T. Eshelman
and John d. Fletcher.
"The overburdened taxpayer" was the
theme of MIR. Farley's remarks. He said
that the opposition had given so much
time to fighting corporations that the
taxpayer was left out of the proposition
altogether, except when it came to paying
for the extravaganza and Encouragement
at the city hail. Mr.. Farley quoted
figures to back up his contention
that the cost of running the city
had increased during the past four years
out of all proportion with the natural
growth of the city. He said that the
larger the corporation, the less it cost
proportionately for management. and ar
gued that the same rule should work at
the city hall.
Frank B. Cole went after the administra-
ton in humorous vein. He said: "Two
years ago at this time ! was somewhat
embarrassed by being nominated to OPP
pose Mr.. Campbell for the office of mayor.
After the votes were counted was still
more embarrassed. |, take the seme posi-
ton now that did two years ago: that
is, that | believe / would make a better
mayor than Mr.. Campbell, and ] think
there are more people who think so now
than there were two years ago"
Mr.. Cole reviewed matters that have
been discussed in regard to gambling and
other vices, and then took up the question
of the attitude of the administration to.
ward corporations. Ia this connection he
said:
"Soon there will be another street car
company here and it must be treated fair

PUGET SOUND NAVY YARD,
BRENERTON, Wash, March 3O.-The
largest and most magnificent receiving ship
in the American navy, with crew space for
800 men, has just been completed and
lies at anchor in the bay off the United
States navy yard here, awaiting the order
from Secretary of the Navy Moody to go
into commission as successor to the re-
ceiving ship Nipsic. She is the monster
protected cruiser Philadelphia, converted
at an expense of Sl7S,00O into splendid
stationary vessel for the reception of re-
cruits and marines not on sea service.
The Philadelphia was brought to the
Bremerton yards a year and a half ago
for the purpose of having her cut down,
and fitting her with new batteries, but
the Philadelphia is one of the old high
model cruisers, built at about the same
time the Newark and w. pa'+in1oro -.--'"

survey estimated that j, would cost in
the neighborhood of half million dollars
to remodel her in the manner contem-
plated. the plan was abandoned. Shortly

her into a receiving ship. The batteries
of the big cruiser were taken off and her
twelve big rapid-fre guns were sent TO
Mare island, in San Francisco bay. Then
the work of converting her into a receiving
shin was begun.
Over her upper deck a house was built.

comfortable shelter for the crew in wet
weather and a splendid space for drills.
Five rooms on the main deck were fitted
out as a bakery galley and cold-storage
room, each department room in proportion
to the size of the big marine house.
On the berth deck were arranged eight
wardroom staterooms and four warrant Of
6eers' staterooms, also a room for the mas
ter-at-arms.
The hospital department is splendidiy
equipped with folding berths and all the
equipments of modern hospital. Adjoin-
ing are the dispensary and ship surgeons
offices. while on the same deck in an iso-
lated position is the contagious ward,
where suspected cases of fever or smallpox
will be taken care of in a practical
quarantine.
In the side of the big cruiser win
dows have been cut all along to admit the
light. and her interior is like that of a

Owing to her depth it will be imposs-
bic to move her into the berth where the
old Nipsic now lies until a basin has
been dredged for her, and two dredging
forces are now at work making a path for
her towards the location. When this dredg-
ing is completed there will be no obstacle
in the way of the Philadelphia's going into
commission, and in a short time she will
be snugly in her basin, awaiting the
order from the secretary of the navy.
Many tourists daily visit the Bremen

tain F. M. Bostwick, who will be her

from heart disease. But for the efforts

matter was dropped by them recently,
hence the commitment at this time.
An effort will be made to have Tommy
pardoned. The jailors and many others are
strongly of the opinion that he never COM

with his extraordinarily good behavior, has
led to, some consideration for his well
