Mrs. II. M. Ferris entertained a num-
Der of guests at her home on north
Seventh street. the occasion being to
announce the engagement of her
daughter, Miss Inez Ferris, charm
ing and popular young lady, to Mr..

clever way. During the early hours
little original verses were distributed
to those present and on being read
aloud the predicted futures caused a
great deal of fun, as some were quite

interesting, as the contents of it's
lines disclosed the approaching nup-
tials which will be solemnized during

PLAY GOOD BALL.
Local Amateur Teams Have Interest
ing Game on Home Grounds.

The ball game between the Yakima
Hardware company's baseball team
and the Marquettes at the ball park
Sunday resulted in victory for the
former. The score stood IL to 8.
Both teams were very evenly matched
and several brilliant plays were made
on each side. With more practice
and coaching either nine would prove
a hard combination for any amateur
club to tackle. Burlingame and
Gagner comprised the battery for the
hardware company and Listmann and
Jerome for the Marquettes.
This is the sixth game played by the
victors, four of which have been in
their favor. They will visit Selah next
Sunday and try and walk away with
the honors there.

is hardly looked for by scientists.
Shasta, RAINIER Mount Hood, Mount
Baker and all of the other noted peaks
in that region are of volcanic origin,
but there have been no outbreaks OF
any moment in the memory of the
white settlers. The Indians have a
tradition that Mount Shasta has smok-
ed in times past, but the officials OF
the bureau of ethnology admit that
Indian traditions are, as a rule, UNI
reliable
Mount Hood is one VI the peaks that
has smoked within recent years. and
one of the field parties of the geolo-
gical survey got some pictures of it
while smoke was coming from the tis-
sures in the rocks. Further I'D. in
Alaska, there are some fairly active
volcanoes, and a whole island was des-
troyed there about two seasons back
between the close and the opening Of
navigation.
The reported disturbance around
Mount Baker may possibly be follow
ed by greater activity either there or
elsewhere in the region, but it is not
thought that there is any fear of the
cific coast developing a second Pom
peii, or being any such menace to the
surrounding region as the volcanic
peaks bordering the great area of dis

THE QUAKE IN
NORTHWEST

SEATTLE, January 12.-With force
sufficient to rock the largest buildings
and to throw the people into state
OF panic, Washington and British Co
lumbia were yesterday afternoon Wis
tied by earth tremors. No fatalities
are reported but one shock has been
sufficient to stir even the most con-
servative to a high pitch of excite
ment.
The tremors were felt noticeably in
Seattle, Port Townsend, Vancouver
were first felt at 3:44 o'clock am last
ed from seven to thirty seconds. Re
Numbering the horrors of the san
| Francisco disaster and the more re-
cent Italian earthquake, the people
dashed from hotels, offices, buildings
and stores, seeking safety in the open
streets. But one shock was felt.
At Bellingham the shock was so Sc
we're, however, that brick buildings
were so badly shaken that plaster fell
to the floor. People ran into the streets
and hurriedly sought the open coun-
try.
SAN JUAN ISLANDS SHAKEN.
Reports from the San Juan Islands
state that the shock was severe there.
At Port Stanley, Lopez, Eastsound,
| olga and other places buildings were
damaged to a considerable extent. NO
casualties are reported.
In Port Townsend, where water
pipes had been frozen, the earthquake
broke the mains and flooded the
houses. For time it was feared the
city's entire water supply would be
shut off, so great was the damage be-
ing done.
Officers at Fort Worden state the
apparent damage to the fertilization
was caused, although both Fort Wor-
den and Fort Flagler we're badly shak-
en-.
ALASKA CABLE BROKEN.
The Signal Corps officers report the
parting of the Alaska cable several
hours previous to the snocK here. In
vestigation will be made to ascertain
if there was any connection between
the circumstances. 1t is reported that
Immediately after the shock smoke
was seen rising from Mount Baker, a
supposed extinct volcano.
AT Blaine several buildings were
slightly damaged by the tremble. Re
ports show that the force of the shock
extended over an area of at least fifty
miles square, and in several places
two distinct shocks, separated by
more than a minute, were felt.

When Starvation Threatened.

Some years ago the excursion
steamer returning from Alaska to Sc
attic associated it's propeller and came
to q forced stop. For two days the
vessels engineers and machinists la
bored to repair the break, but without
success. It was discovered that the
ships stores were not abundant
Alarm bred in the minds of pessim-
istic passengers, and the contagion
spread Starvation might assail the
vessel before help arrived. A former
California official took it on himself
to reassure his timid companions, but
his effort was not perfectly adapted
to raise dropping spirits.
In fact, his closing sentences but
added to the gloom. LET us behave"
he said IF the worst comes and that
dread necessity which in such misad-
ventures has met others must be faced
by us, let us remember that it is good
to die that our friends may live. The
one or more that may be sacrificed
will be consoled by that thought"
There was a moments silence, aw-
full in it's intensity, then a cheerful
voice was heard. "You should be TAX
en- first, Gov. Booth" You know the
bravest are the tenderest." And even
the terror-stricken smiled once more

ANGRY ROBINS WOUND MAN
Try to Peck Eyes Out After He un-
Intentionally Kills Their
Young.

Clinton, N. J.-Robert ]. McCoubra
was so severely injured on the face,
neck and hands by two robins that at
tackled him that it was necessary to
call in a doctor.
McCcubra had cut several limbs
from large shade tree in front of his
house here and did not see that in
fork made by two branches of one of
the limbs was a robins nest with two
young birds In it. When the limb fell
to the ground the young birds fell out
of the nest and both were killed.
McCoubra felt sorry and leaned
over to pick up the dead birds. AS
he did so the old robins attacked him.
He tried to beat them off, but failed
and was compelled to run for the
house. All the way the birds kept up
the attack, and he had to hold his
hands over his eyes to save them
from harm. The man had difficulty in
preventing the birds from following
him indoors, striking at them several
times before he could get the door
closed against them.
Mrs. McCoubra, who had been in
the back yard, heard her husband call
ing and she ran into the house, where
she found him almost exhausted from
his efforts His face, neck and hands
were torn and bleeding as the result
of the vicious pecking Of the enraged
birds

Census. He stood by the new director,
Mr.. Durand, and helped him secure
number of important enactments in the
Census bill which the director thought
necessary for efficiency. 1t would
seem that common courtesy would
have dictated fairer treatment to SEN
ator LaFollette. 1t is the opinion here
that Director Durand is not responsible
for what happened. The responsibility
is laid at the door of President Taft
who has probably been acting on the
advice of Frank H. Hitchcock, Post
master General, who seems determined
to turn the great thirteenth census
into political machine. Although Mr..
Hitchcock has apparently retired from
the Craftsmanship of the Republican
National Committee and has named an
acting chairman, this show of renoun-
citation appears to have been made
with view of throwing sand into the
eyes of the public for he is still dictat-
ing appointments and bossing patron
age throughout the country in cheer
full disregard of the spirit of the civil
service law. In Wisconsin, according
to reports that have come to Washing
ton, the census supervisors have been
appointing enumerators with view of
building up political machine extend
ing to every school district. 1t has
been known for some time that Hitch
cock had no love for LaFellette, but
some surprise is expressed here that
President Taft would permit the pub
lie service to be used to humiliate and
try to defeat for reelection a Repub-
lican Senator whose sole offence seems
to have been firm insistance that the
Republicans in Congress carry out the
promises of tariff reform which Mr..
Taft had made to the people while he
was candidate for President.
