Puako wireless station on the Island

yesterday during a kona holua prevail

operator, Albert Todd, stayed by his
key while sea water entered the station.
There was considerable relief at the

MARINE
kOhA COMPELS THEIRS
To COME into PORT

Straining at her anchor chains all
night and al day, and in momentary
danger of dragging the mudhooks and
drifting on the reef, the French bark
Theirs, which had been lying at the
outside anchorage for several days, was
compelled to come inside the harbor
last evening in tow of the tug In
trepid.
The heavy ground swell caused the
bark to rear and plunge in the wallow
and at each rise Of the bow the an
Choir chains were strained to the limit.
During the forenoon yesterday it was
rumored that the vessel had broken
her moorings and was drifting onto
the rocks and that tugs had been sig
nailed for 10 go to her assistance This
was not the case, but Young Brothers
kept in close communication with the
vessel by launch and flag signals.
At the Naval Station, Captain Moses
kept close watch on all signals dis
played He did not think the vessel
was in danger, or the master of the
bark would have lowered all his top
hamper Had there been the slightest
activity aloft on the Frenehman, the
naval authorities would have gone to
assist. The naval tug Iroquois, how
ever, was out of commission, repairs
being made to her boilers.
Late in the afternoon the tug In
trepid went out to the Theirs, event
ually passed lines aboard and received
the ships hawser, and the big vessel
was brought into port shortly after .

Thomas Wirelessed In.

Considerable difficulty seems to be
experienced in wireless circles since the
kona blew in. The Lurline had not
been heard from or reached by wireless
up to last evening, although she is due
this morning from the Coast. Usually
wireless messages are received from the
Matson liners from two to four days in
advance of their arrival.
The Kahuku station heard the trans

only the Thomas signals could be made

not until today noon that he consent

There has been some talk of other

To DIVIDE Okla
HOGAN COUNTY
PROPOSED TO MAKE THREE d.
VISIONS OF PRESENT COUNTY
BILL INTRODUCED YESTER-
DAY.

A large number of Okanogan resi-
dents have been passing through
Wenatchee during the past several
days en- route to Olympia to par
ticipate in the lobbying for or against
the bill providing for the division
of that county. The bill was intro
duced yesterday. 1t is plan to
place the western section into a new
county to be called Methow, COM
prising the Methow valley with Pa
teros, in the southern part, probably
the county seat. The eastern por-
ton would be further divided by an
east and west line with the northern
portion 10 be called Chopaca, with
Oroville as the probable county seat.
The southern portion will retain the
name of Okanogan, with Conconully
remaining as the county seat.
The county of Okanogan has been
torn by strife for the past year. The
movement started to change the
county seat from Conconully to
Riverside resulted in dissension and
strife and the division plan is a re-
suit of the hard feelings engendered
last fall.

HOW WOMAN
SUFFRAGE WON
PRETTY UNIVERSITY GIRLS WON
THE DAY AT OLYMPIA YES
SION AND GOOD LOOKS.

Woman suffrage apparently did
not have much of show during the
first part of the session. The legisla-
tors were apparently uninterested
There were some, of course. who
were willing to let it go by default.
There were others, however, who
re openly opposed to putting the
estion to a vote.
A few plain looking but earnest
women bounded the legislators in an
effort to secure their vote in favor
of submitting the question to the
people.
But it was not till the women in
charge of the movement imported a
bunch of the best looking young
women in the state of Washington
from the state university that the
solons began to really take notice.
The wise men in charge of legis-
lation who had opposed the move
ment wilted before the university
bunch" and woman suffrage won the
day.

CITY COUNCIL WILL MAKE SPE-
CTAL EFFORTS TO IMPROVE
THOROUGHFARES LEADING IN
TO THE CITY LIMITS.

That it is the purpose of the city
administration to do a great deal of
work on the roads leading into the
city during the coming season is evil
denced by the discussion at the coun-
cll meeting last night County Com
missioner Pitcher was present at the
meeting and asked the council the
intentions regarding the improvement
of Wenatchee avenue north. The
the avenue from the city limits to
the bridge, where it will connect
with the state aid road and become
part of the boulevard system up
the river. 1t was decided that the
city engineer should go over the
plans for this work with the county
engineer and report to the council
some plan for the work On the
present valuations about Is per cent
Of the county road and bridge fund
comes to the city this year to be
used on the roads leading into the
city, and it is the purpose of the
city council to use this money on the
most important thoroughfares. This
new road fund was not discovered
until last year A new law gives the
incorporated cities a portion of the
county levy to be used in improving
the roads leading into the cities, but
the city has not in the past availed
itself of this fund.
Another matter that created con-
siderable discussion was the sewer
age question. 1t was the sense of
the members of the council that the
sewerage system should be extended.
Engineer Ward is now in Seattle for
the purpose of making a study of
the system there and when he re-
turns there will be a special meeting
called to agree upon some plans Of
action on this matter and others
which he is now investigating in Sc
attic.
An ordinance was introduced last
night providing for the vacation of
alleys in block IS, Grand View addi-
ton. This was on the petition of

TUESDAY.

That the Great Northern is con-
telnplating building an east and west
line across the state from Skagit
county to Spokane has been current
rumor for some months past. That
this is no idle gossip is evidenced by
the fact that three crews of survey
Rockport, the western terminus of
the road. and the Cascades. Mon
day morning two Great Northern en-
gineers arrived here to make ar
rangements for putting a crew of 90
men on the survey between the heal
of Lake Chelan and the summit 1t
was learned here that there was a
great deal of snow in the mountains
and that it was impractical to at
tempt any work now. The man in
charge, however, determined to salts
fy himself on the matter and went
up on the Tuesday morning boat.
That the instructions are imperative
to rush this survey through is evil
dent from the sending of surveyors
in here at this time of year. The
Great Northern is evidently very
much in haste to get to work.
Already the Great Northern has
built branch line from Burlington
to Rockport. This is branch from
the Seattle e Northern line 1t seems
to be the purpose of the Great North
ern to extend this western branch
thu ough the Cascades, making the
crossing of the mountains at what
is said to be the lowest pass in the
entire Cascade range. This is south
of Rainy Pass. The line would fol-

that three large crews were at work
west of the mountains and the in

as soon as possible
II is stated in Everett that the
Great Northern has placed an order

ENTOMbED MEN
RESCUED TODAY
SEATTLE MEN IMPRISONED IN
SEWER CAVEIN DUG OUT
TWO MEN WERE KILLED BY
CAVEIN.
(By Associated Press.)

SEATTLE, Feb. 24.-The nine
men imprisoned in the sewer tunnel
cavein on the grounds of the Alaska
Yukon-Pacific exposition since yes
terday morning were liberated at
$50 this morning, and the body of
one man was recovered. At least
one corpse is known to be still bur-
led. The dead are Duncan Robert
son and August Stanga. The miss
ing are F. w. Jones, who may be
in the debris. The liberated men
showed the great strain to which
they had been subjected as they
crawled and were dragged from the
shaft. The scene was dramatic, the
rescued and rescuers crowded about
each other to grasp hands while tears
coursed down the cheeks of men.
A section of two-inch iron pipe
kept the nine men alive by furnish
ing them with air until they were
rescued from the tomb "a feet be-
meath the surface of the earth.
The accident occurred near the
Northern Pacific railway track about
a third of mile east of where the
University ear crosses on Fourteenth
Avenue Northeast.
The crew of excavators, employed
by Grant Smith & Co., were work
ing in a tunnel, $50 feet from the
outside, when 20 feet of the tunnel
wall gave way, cutting ten or eleven
men off from the exit.
This tunnel at the point where
the men were imprisoned is "a feet
beneath the surface, and two rescue
gangs were at work, one driving a
shaft from above and the other tun-
neling through the loose earth in
the shaft.

1t is likely that more sitely

yesterday took an option on the Dr.
