H)sible that there might be a
day or two of delay, but that is
the date selected for completion
of the figures and the proof of
the roll. The roll is much larger
than usual, owing to the many
thousands of dollars levied for
special mad taxes.

The Steamer Cottage City, ply
ing between Seattle and Alaskan
port3, struck a rock in the straits
ast Thursday night, and inside
of fifty minutes sank to the bot
tom of the Sound inlet The ves
sel struck in the night, and the
snowfall was so dense that the
pilot was unable to see any dis
tance ahead. Supper was over
and the passengers were in the
salon, where they were enjoying
themselves with piano and song.
Suddenly the vessel struck the
submerged reef and trembled vio-
ently. The captain ordered the
boats out from the davits and
the women and children were
owered first, and then the men
and the crew. All made shore
inside of a few hours, as they
were but four miles from a set
tlement Although the sea was
running high they had no serious
trouble in landing.
It was of interest to Hillsboro
people for the reason that John
R. Willis and wife, former Hills
boro people, were on the vessel,
enroute home from a trip to
Washington. D. C. Mr. Willis
was reared in this city, and his
wife, who was Miss Erma La
tham, is a daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. H. T. Latham, well known
here, where she lived a number
of years. The first dispatches told
that one boat containing the
crew and a few passengers, had
not reached shore, and Friday
was an anxious day among the
friends of Mr. and Mrs. Willis,
who awaited the coming of the
evening papers to "find if, they
were among the saved.
