We're all* going to have ham and eggs in about an hour,” said Mrs. Wright. She declared his conduct was typi- cal of that of the men aboard the ship. Mrs. Wright tore off her silk shirt- waist, she said, because the oarsmen in her.lifeboat found the oar handles were slippery with oil and they could make no headway and she used the garment to rub the oil off the oar handles. Mrs. Clark, Miss Eckstrom and other members of their party were dancing on the hurricane deck when the vessel hit the rocks. it seemed as if the Alaska struck one rock and then suddenly, after- ward, crashed into another.

Scene of Wreck The Alaska of the San Francisco and Portland Steamship Co., left Port- land, Ore., last Friday with 131 pas- sengers of whom 123 were in the cabin and eight in the steerage. The majority of passengers were summer tourists. The Alaskfla hailed from the home port of Port Townsend, Washington, its net tonnage was 3,709 and its length 327 feet. Her normal crew num- bered forty-five. She was built at Chester, Pa., in 1889 Blunt’s reef is forty miles south of Eureka and 197 miles north of San Franscisco. Ship acidents were fre- quent at that point, years ago, until a lightship was built jn 1901. The only notable wreck since was the sink- ing, about 15 years ago, of the steam Columbia, with a heavy loss of life. The owners of the Alaska, in- cidentally, also owned the Columbia. Fogs have prevailed along the ‘Wshington, Oregon and northern Cal- ifornia coasts for two weeks and sev- eral shipping casualties have occurred, the most notable being the wreck of the Canadian government steamer Canadian exporter, off South Bend, Washington, last week.

Her sing- ing was always satisfactory to her hearers, and was an important part of the Sunday church services. “She was also cs¥ied upon to sing at many social events as soloist and in quartette. “It seems highly proper that at this time, this important part of Mrs. Parsons’ career should be recalled as a fitting tribute to her memory.” NEW STORE IS TO BE CALLED EL MAIN G. M. Ferrer, of Hawkins Street, Se- lects Appropriate Title for New Store and Ice Cream Parlor. G. M. Ferrer, of 24 Hawkins street, has been declared the winner of the much discussed name contest con- ducted by. L. Sinski, for his new store, the name EIMain Garden . having been selected: < Mr. Sinski opened a store at the corner of Main and Eim streets. a short time. ago and began catering to an éxclusive - trade in fruits, groceries, cigars and confec- tionery as well as conducting a mod- ern soda fountain and ice cream par- lar. Business grew so rapidly that the store -soon became so big it was ° decided "to give it a name. Rather than stick to the rural custom of call- ing it “Sinski's Store,” Mr. Sinski thought it would add prestige and dig- nity if he gave his business some- thing -by which -it -would-- become known all ‘over thy city and suburbs. He inserted an advertisement in |The Herald, announcing that he would *| give a prize to the person or persons Miss Helen Roach, Washington, D.

Mr. Sinski himself and the advertis- ing manager of The Herald were judges. Half a hundred or more an- swers were received up until the con- test closed Saturday night. Many were very claver and witty and it was with difficulty that the judges finally made a selection. It is significant that the name selected seemed to be |an after thought on the part of Mr. Ferrer. Mr. Ferrer's communication, ad- dressed to the contest editor of The Herald and turned over to the judges, is as follows: “I suggest the Sinski store be called The ElMain; The El- Main store, or The ElMain Corner. Or another attractive name would be The ElMain Garden. No doubt you will notice that the word ElMain con- tains the letters of both streets where the store is located, making it .very appropriate.” The prize awarded to Mr. Ferrer was a five-pound box of choice chocolates. crry ITEMS Accurate optical work, Frank E.
