HOW TO PRONOUNCE THE INDIAN
NAMES OF THE STATE OF
WASHINGTON,

A little book of more than passing
interest and usefulness comes to our
desk, entitled Indian Geographic
Names of Washington" compiled by
Professor Edmond s. Meany, Of the
University of Washington, and pub
lished by the Hyatt-Fowells School of
Seattle.
The book contains all the Indian
names used as geographic terms in
the state of Washington, showing their
correct pronunciation, spelling and To-
cation. Such work has long been
needed and will certainly meet with
instant favor. That such book will
serve a good purpose is borne out by
the fact that such common words as
Alki, Cathlamit, Chinook, Conconnully,
kalama, Seattle, Spokane, Tenino,.
Wahkiakum, etc., are habitually mis-.
pronounced by most people.
The Hyatt-Fowells Business College,
the publishers, have taken one page to
set forth the merits of their school
which in itself is interesting reading
anyone can secure a copy free by
addressing the Hyatt-Fowells School

BRITISH BOAT WINS
FINAL RACE FOR TROPHY

Vancouver, B. c., July 4. Coming
down on the finishing line with spin
maker drawing fine and with q stiff
westerly wind behind her, the yacht
Alexandra, Captain Jimmy" Deane, OF
the Royal Vancouver Yacht Club, won
the deciding race of the series for the
Alexandra cup today from the Seattle
yacht Spirit, defender Of the trophy.
The Canadian yacht rounded the fin
ishing mark a little over two minutes
ahead Of Geary's craft, although the.
Spirit had picked up wind and was
running fine when Deane's boat swept
across the line.
1t was on the run home with spin
maker set that the Vancouver yacht
showed her superiority, and the Spirit
could not make up the distance be-
tween the two yachts; If anything,
losing about one hundred yards after
rounding the second buoy. A light
varying breeze scarcely rippled the
waters of English bay at the start, and
the American visitors felt confident
that the Spirit would be able to Sc
cure long lead on the first leg, but
Deane got off well and on the run
to Point Atkinson to the first buoy
got over close to the north shore, and
with the aid of the tide was able to
pull out good lead.
The wind dropped after twenty min
utes sailing and the yachts made but
little progress, the Spirits sails flap
ping, while the Alexandra was moving
slowly with the tide. 1t was on the
run to the second buoy that Geary
demonstrated that the Spirit is the
best boat on the run to windward, and
after the yachts lay becalmed for ten
minutes light westerly breeze sprung
up, and it was then Geary's yacht
moved ahead fast and closed up the
gap between the boats. The yachts
were a long time in making the Sec
ond buoy and were compelled to make
several tacks. When within half a
mile of the buoy Geary took long
tack close inshore, but inside of the
mark, and when he came about it was
seen that he was almost up to the
veteran Deane.
The latter, however, got puff of
wind from the west and managed to
go round the buoy, the Spirit follow
ing little over one minute later
On the run home the Alexandra footed
fast and had good wind all the way,
while the Spirit ran into a calm which
held her back two minutes. Times at
finish were: Alexandra, 3:41:6 3-5;
Spirit, 3:43:57.

A New Well at Paulson's

McManis q Gorton last week
completed a we'll at the restaurant
property belonging to J. ID. Paul
son on the east side of the river.
AT a depth of 81 feet a strong
flow of good soft water was struck
and by casing the well DOWN 80
feet all surface water is shut out,
leaving a well of as fine water as
could be found in the country.
The water comes to within three
feet and a half of the top of the
casing, and raises Is inches higher
than the surface water. AS it has
been difficult to get a good water
we'll in that section of town, Mr.
Paulson is quite pleased over the
result.
