F. A. Hazeltine, of South Bend, was
recently elected president of the
board of regents of the State Univer-
sity.
The result of the first local option
election ever held in Wenatchee was a
sweeping victory for the "drys," who
won by a majority of 1O6.
The University of Washington will
reserve at least nine, and possibly
more, buildings of the A.-Y.-P. expo
sition for permanent use. The board
of regents has left the final decision
| to it's building committee.
The excavations for the new North
ern Pacific and Great Northern pas
senger depot at Tacoma is now COM
pleted, and a permit has been taken
out for the structure. The cost of the
building alone is placed at $5OO,OOO.
The building will be finished and ready
for occupancy within one year.
The local members of the Elks have
been successful in receiving favor
able report on establishing lodge
of that order in Wenatchee. The fact
that the last census gives the popula-
ton of the city to be over 5000 people
has enabled the local members to
bring about this installation.
COMPLAINT has been filed with the
state railroad commission by the Mil
waukee Terminal railroad, stock OF
which is owned by the Chicago, Mil
waukee & Puget Sound railroad, ask
ing that the Great Northern railroad
be forced to make physical connec-
tons with it's tracks at Ballard. The
date of the hearing has not been set.
Unless the United States depart
ment of justice succeeds in pers uading
the board of commissioners of King
county to permit incarceration OF fed
eral prisoners in the King county jail,
it is probable such prisoners will be
maintained in the Pierce county Jail
and their cases heard in the federal
court at Tacoma after September L.
The United States geographic board,
in decisions just made public, has
changed the name of Niagara falls, in
the Mt Rainier national park, to
Cushman falls in honor of the late
Representative Francis W. Cushman,
of Tacoma. The change was suggest
ed to the board some time ago by Sec
rotary of the Interior Ballinger.

Vancouver, B. c., Aug. 3O.-With
her decks crowded with passengers in
various stages of undress, the Mac
Kenzie steamer Rupert City reached
port at noon Saturday, bringing 131
survivors of the Ohio disaster. With
no collars, unshaved and looking tired
out, the men leaned over the rails as
the steamer came alongside the John
son dock, but the few women who
were among the people saved from
the wreck were comparatively fresh
and showed no great signs of the hard
ships they had undergone.
1t was a story of terrible exper-
fence that the passengers told on ar
rival. Following the shock of the
wreck came the long wait for daylight,
while rain poured down and men and
women huddled together on the ex-
posed rocks until the Vancouver
steamer Kingfisher came to their as
sistance and every passenger and
member of the crew on the Kingfsher
joins in singing the praises of the
large-hearted fishermen who gave
them every possible assistance and
lent them clothing.
Survivors Reach Seattle and Tell Of
the Wreck.
M. ]. Heney, who is building the
Copper River railway, arrived back in
Seattle last evening, and after greet
ing little group of friends at the
Rainier Grand, spoke of the wreck.
