Names in the Northwest.
From the Philadelphia Record.

One OF the first things to impress the
eastern visitors at the Alaska Yukon-Pa-
cific exposition is the outlandisl names in
use In Washington. Tourists returning
from the Seattle fair say that they had
more than one good laugh at the expense
of the proper names which residents of
the state of Washington take a matter
of course. Most of these names are de-
rived from the Siwash Indians. who for
merly inhabited the Puget sound territory,
Chief Seattle himself, after whom the
main. city of the northwest was named
being high I'm the councils of the Siwashes.
few OF the most musical names are
Yakima, Suoqualine, Puyallup, Steilacoon,
Kathlamet. Concomully. kemnewick. Che
welah. Skykomist. A partial list OF
the counties of the state would include
such melodious names as Chehalis. Asotin.
Chelan, Cowlitz. Kilsap. Kittitas. Klicki-
tat. Okanogan, Skagit. Snohomish, What
com and Wahkitkum. The easterner or
middle westerner who has mastered such
commonplace as spokane and "Walia

pie, however, have no apologies to offer
for their jaw-breaking proper names. 'Oh,
yes 1t is a little hard to get on to our
words at first" the Evergreen state enthu-
siast will smilingly tell you. but then
there are compensations. For instance,

Game Birds Becoming More Plenti-
full in Connecticut.

ful In Connecticut.
From the Hartford Courant.
! At the meeting Of the commissioners
of fisheries and game yesterday re-
ports from the wardens and protectors
in all parts of the state were consider
ed. There was a gratifying unanimity
of opinion that quail and ruff1ed grouse
are much more abundant than last sea-
son, and from several localities many
bevies Of the Hungarian cartridges
were reported.
This imported game bird seems to
have done well during the breeding
season and the prospect is good that
they will furnish a valuable addition
to the depleted covers of the state. The
habit which this partridge has of nest
ing, in some instances. In the hay fields
has caused the loss of several broods.
but the easy discovery of these proves
that the birds will breed successfully
here.
The reports received by the COM
mission yesterday showed clearly that
the past breeding season. In any event,
has been favorable to them, and re-
newed encouragement Is given to the
experiment. In the middle west they
have been received with favor and the
state Of Indiana will distribute 1000
Illinois as many more. While IL will
not be legal to hunt these cartridges
until October 1, 1910. there is a good
prospect that they will AFFORD good
sport then.
They are a handsome bird. about
twice the size of quail. and they
LAY well to the dog, which from the
sportsman's viewpoint is an important
feature in their favor. Their habits
are not dissimilar to the quail and they
frequent the same kind of country.
Quail are reported to be more plentiful
than for several years past and the
same may be said OF the ruffed grouse.
The suggestion for the feeding of
quail in the winter months was con-
sidered by the commissioners, and they
decided to recommend it to all inter-
, ested in the preservation of this favor
lite game bird. The device. which has
been used with success. consists simply
Of bundle OF rye straw. This is plac-
ed upright in a district frequented
by quail. and should be kept in place
by a pole about the size OF hoe
handle.

WHALE HURLS MAN INTO SEA
Mate Of Goldfish Schooner Has Thrill
ing Experience While
Fishing.

Struck by the tail of a gigantic whale,
which smashed his dory to kindling and
threw him almost 100 feet away into the
icy sea, Chief Mate Oluf Wick, of the cod
fish schooner, Vega, which has returned
to Seattle from Behring Sea, brings a thrill
ling story Of his escape from. death in the
far north. His experience, strange as it
sounds, is confirmed by many persons who
saw the body Of the officer hurled through
the air and who later picked him up as he
lay bruised and unconscious on the few
remaining boards of his shattered dory.
The Vega, in command Of Captain Peter
Nelson, was lying at anchor in Behring
Sea and the chief mate was alone in his
dory one calm morning in August, fishing
apart from the rest of the crew. A monster
whale had been observed by the men
earlier in the day swimming sportively in
the vicinity, blowing a mlst-like stream
high in the air, or again coming to the
surface and rounding his shining back with
a knifelike dorsal fin out Of the water as
he played and dove into the CLASSY sea.
Suddenly 1 felt something under the
boat" he said, in reciting the tale. II
thought 1 had struck a rock and instantly
threw the windlass overheard so it would
not sink the boat. Hardly was it over the
side when l was lifted high in the air
as the whale dove and struck the boat

had exploded beneath my feet. Around me
were flying bits of wood and tackle from

it must have been ninety feet from the
point where the dory was stationed. I lost
consciousness for a time, / think, for I
