king OF DENMARK
Died SUDDENLY

Copenhagen, Denmark, Jan. 3d.
Christian, the ninth, the aged king of
Denmark, dean of the crowned heads
of Europe, father of King George of
Greese, of Queen Alexandria of Europe
Great Britain and Ireland, and of the
dowager empress Maria Feodorona of
Russia, grandfather of King Haakon,
the seventh, of Norway, and related by
blood or by marriage to most of the
European rulers, died with startling
suddenness in the Amalienborg palace
Monday evening. The successor to the
throne, Prince Ferdinand, his eldest
son, who will be known as Frederick
the eighth, was proclaimed Tuesday.
The following is the official bulletin
announcing his death:
His majesty died at $3.50 p. IN. AZ
ter his majesty had brought Monday
mornings audience to a close he ap-
peared to be quite we'll, and proceeded
to luncheon as usual. Toward the end
of the morning he gave evidence Of In
disposition and was compelled to re-
tireato bed at $3.50 p. m. His majesty
passed away peacefully the symptoms
indicating heart failure.
This bulletin tells concisely the story
of the death scene, which found every
one, even those who realized the in
creasing feebleness of the king, unpre-
pared for the sudden shock.
The death of King Christian has
plunged half the continent of Europe
into the deepest mourning and brought
q sense of personal loss as we'll as of
sincere grief to every one throughout
the kingdom of Denmark.
Prince Frederick, the eldest son of
the late King Christina, who succeeds
to the throne, Was born June 3, l843,
and was married July 80, 1869, to Prin-
cess Louisa, daughter of King Charles
XIV. Sweden and Norway. The late
King Christians eldest daughter is
Queen Alexandria of England and his
son, Prince William, was elected king
of Greece under the title of George l. ,
in 1858. Another daughter of the late
king, Marie Dagmar, is the dowager
empress of Russia, Maria Feodorovna,
who was married to Alexander III. of
Russia. He died November /, 1894,
and his son, Nicholas, is now emperor
of Russia.
The sudden death of the king will
place the majority of the royal houses
of Europe in mourning. The rulers OF
Russia, Great Britain, Greece, Sweden
and Norway are directly related to the
dead monarch, either personally OF
through their consorts. His sons and
daughters were preparing for their an.
nual trip to Copenhagen for the pur-
pose of celebrating his 88th birthday
Qeuen Alexandra received the news
of the death of her father at Windsor.
In view of the death of the king of
Denmark, the Official and other en-.
gagements in which the British court

YAKIMA IRRIGATION
PROJECT ASSURED

Prosser, Wash. Jan. 31.-The Tie
ton and Sunnyside irrigation projects
are assured by the signing here of the
government agreement by E. F. Benson
of the Prosser Falls Land & Power
company. All the other rights in the
Yakima river are now adjusted, and
Engineer Jacobs has wired Washing
ton from here that the slate is clean
Taylor & Kemp and Thompson g.
Pratt, the two other firms having water
rights, signed the government agree
ment week ago.
The government is to take over the
irrigating plant of Mr.. Benson and also
water 400 acres of his individual lands
1t will allow 215 cubic feet of water
to pass Prosser during August, and 229
during the balance of the irrigation
season, and also raise the dam in the
river here from IL to 15 feet. This will
leave ample power for manufacturing
purposes.
Engineer Jacobs said he believed the
work in this valley would continue for
10 years, until $12, 600. 900 are expend-
ed and 400, 900 acres of land irrigated,
200, 900 of which will be in Benton
county.
This is the greatest day in Prosser' 3
history, even being collapsed in enthus-
iasm by the news, nearly year ago,
that Benton county had been created.
Predictions are freely made that Pros
ser will have 20 population in 10 years.

PASSENGER TRAINS
HEADON COLLISION

A fatal headon collision is reported
from Columbia Falls, Mont, at 1910
Monday night between Great Northern
Limited trains. Both firemen, names
unknown, are reported killed. Con-
ductor Quinn of the westbound limited
is repotrde badly hurt, and five passen-
gers are said to have been hurt. The
injured were taken to Whitefish, Mont.
The triaus met on level, straight
away track, where speed of 80 to 50
miles is ordinarily attained. Both en-
gines turned over and landed many
feet from the track. 1t is reported the
wreck took fire Immediately. The sur
ounding country is low and marshy,
and it believed heavy fog prevailed,
which contributed to the disaster. An
engine from the Kalispell branch was
quickly run to the scene from,the juno
ton mile distant. This was coupled
to the rear of the train and the cars
pulled away from the fire.
The engines in the wreck were of the
"Changhai" type, monster locomotives
with high drivers.
Inc eaSIDOunu Lr1an was In charge
of Conductor Bert Robertson, and En-
gineer Therwichter. Conductor Quinn
ard Engineer Barden were in charge
of the westbound limited. All the
trainmen involved belong to Whitefish,
Montana. So far were the cars hurled
by the force of the collision that all
of the telegraph wires and poles by the
track were thrown down. A wrecking
outfit was promptly dispatched from
Whitefish.

Alfred Willis Makes Charges.

Alfred Willis of Spokane, an ordi-
nary seaman of the United States ship
Pensacola, aged 16, was one of the
survivors and tells a story of hard
ship that makes the blood curdle. He
was in the second boat, and when it
was launched found that the plugs
would not fit. He could find no other
plug and used his hand as a plug to
prevent the boat from filling and
sinking. The boat was washed through
the surf and was capsized. He was
washed to the shore and drawn out
three times by the undertow, but fin
ally caught his pants on piece of
bad shape, but came over the trail
in fine style.
No better example of discipline was
ever shown than when Willis arrived
at Pachena bay and saw Lieutenant
Colville Of the United States ship
Grant. Recognizing his superior off,
Ger, he calmly saluted, and said:
Lieutenant, l report, sir. 1t was,
indeed it was, a pitiful scene" He Is
loud in his praise for Mr.. Bunker who
kept the party of survivors in good
spirits, and also to the rescue party
from the Salvor, to whom he gives
the credit of saving his life.
He is most emphatic in condemning
the officers and equipment of the life
boats. In number two boat there was
no one who understood its manage
ment, and it was steered by a fire.

the first stroke of the oars.

BROOKLYN Loses the Indian.

Brooklyn, Sept 13.-In the changes
which are necessary in sending ships
to various navy yards for repairs the
Brooklyn navy yard is destined to lose
the United States battleship Indiana,
which has always been regarded in
the distribution of ships to the yards
as belonging to the yard at Philadel-
phia, when it is necessary TO make
periodical repairs or alterations from
time to time The navy department
is now at work on the schedule of re-
pairs, and will announce shortly the
ships which are to be sent to the navy
yards for docking, cleaning and such
improvements and changes as are rec
commended. These repairs will not be
undertaken until after the ships have
finished target practice off the New
England coast. AS soon as repairs are
made, the Atlantic fleet will be re-
organized, so as to include the new
ships which have been commissioned
and which are now on their "shak-
ing down" cruises. The fleet will go
next winter to the SOUTHERN waters, as
it usually does in that season, and
there will be early in the new year the
annual target practice on the southern
Cuban coast. 1t has been decided not
to have this take place again in home
waters in the winter, as the facilities
are better in the West Indies. This
will be serious blow to Pensacola
business interests, which have always
prospered by the presence of the
ships.
