Fifty New Peers.

London, July Politics have forged
to the front again with surprising
suddenness. After the truce during
the coronation season. the case Of the
government versus the peers seems. 10
be about to reach an acute stage. The
radical newspapers assert that the
cabinet, after deliberation. finally de-
cided to take drastic and final action

veto bill with amendments.
Some of the radical writers claim
cabinet authority for the statement that
the governments plan is to announce

Womaa's Good Roads contfess.
TACOMA. Oct. 2e, 1911,
DEAR Ma. MURPHY:


DEAR Ma. MURPHY:
Did you read in the Ledger OF Oct. 10Th
where the Council of Women Voters
have called for Washington State
WOman's Good Roads Congress" to be
held in Tacoma Jan. 1921, 1912. We
expect to have no less than 500 women
delegates from all over the State. Onr
aim and object is to help create . gen.
eral interest in the Importance Of good
highways. Our slogan ia " Washington,
the Good Roads State Of America, and
it will be the endeavor of the women OF
this State to qualify this slogan. We
know it is not impossible, II every citi.
zen 30 desires this end. Politics will
not figure in our deliberations, but with
our voice We are going to raise our sup.
LEGATION for the greatest need OF our
glorious State-gO0d roads. Our conven-
ton will be unique, as it will be the
first time in history of the holding OF
good roads convention composed entire
~ OF women delegates. 1t is our inten-
ton to have prominent good roads en-
thusiasts from all over the Northwest
on our programme. This Good Roads
Congress seems to have struck the SYM
pathetic vibration for the women are
all greatly enthused. We are going to
secure the largest hall in Tacoma and
make the Congress one of educational
results. We expect to have one thou
sand at our banquet, and hope you
will be one of them. Trusting you are
feeling we'll, l am as ever, faithful
friend,

WRECK OF THE MULTN0MAH.

During a dense fog at midnight
Friday, the steamship 1roquois. out
bound from Seattle with passengers
for Victoria, struck the freight steam
err Multnomah, from Olympia for
Seattle, and cut her in two. The Multi
nomah was sunk in very deep water.
All the persons on board were saved.
Fifteen head of cattle went down
with the Multnomah. The Iroquois
proceeded apparently unchanged.
The accident was q duplication OF
December 10 last, when the steel
steamship indianapolis cut down the
little wooden steamer kitsap in a
fog, and the collision took place at
almost the same spot. The lroquois,
a steel ship of 1l49 tons left the Ca
madam Pacific pier at 11:3O o'clock
under charter to the Canadian Pa
cific and carrying passengers for
Victoria. The Multnomah. 26-year-
old wooden sternwheel steamer. built
for Columbia River passenger bust
ness was coming up to her pier from
Olympia and Tacoma with freight.
The fog was SO thick that q light
could be seen only few feet, and
there was a bewildering tumult of
fog whistles. Both boats were pro-
ceeding with caution because OF
thick weather, when suddenly the
knife edge of the IrOquois sliced
the fragile Multnomah almost clear
through. The Iroquois engines were
stopped at once. and the crew OF the
wooden vessel was taken on the lrO-
quois, which put back to the pier and
landed the men. The Multnomah' S
wreakage went to the bottom as soon
as the Iroquois distangled herself.
No one was injured on either boat.
The Multnomah. which was owned
by the Olympia Navigation Com
pany, was built at Portland. Or.
and was favorite passenger vessel
on the Columbia River for many
years. OF late, however, she had
become q mere hulk engaged in
carrying freight between Olympia.
Tacoma and Seattle. Estimates for
her value range between $l5, 600 and
SIS, 900, She is a total loss. She
lies in several hundred feet of water.
The Multnomah was lab feet long
and of 3l2 gross tonnage. The lro-
quois belongs to the Inland Naviga-
ton Company, and makes three trips
o week between Seattle and Victoria
under charter to the Canadian Pa
cific.
This victim must not be COMPOUNDED

Capt. Hoyt, a side-wheeler that piled
between Astoria and Portland. She
was for many years, from her c0nnec-
ton with the Winsor stage line at
Monticello, part OF the Olympia-Port-
land service. when it took three days
to make the trip at cost OF $50, with
the privilege OF walking up bill while
not engaged In prying the stage"
