HOURS’ RUN BELOW
PRINCE RUPERT
IS FLOATED AT 4:30
Princess May Takes Her Into Dry
Dock For Temporary
Repairs
PRINCE RUPERT, Nov. 13—
Thursday night or * early yesterday
morning the steamer City of Seat
tle, northbound, ran aground in
Granville Channel about four hours
out of Prince Rupert. The Princess
May went to her assistance and took
off her passengers, ninteen in num
ber, also taking enough freight to
lighter her so that they got her a
float at 4:30 yesterday afternoon.
She proceeded to Prince Rupert,
convoyed by the Princess May. On
arrival in Rupert the cargo was dis
charged and the steamer put in the
dry dock for examination. The dam
age was found to be more serious
than at first supposed, the forefoot
being bent and badly buckled.
The advices do not state, but judg
ing from local conditions, it is prob
able that there was a heavy fog at
the time the vessel struck. At
the date of sailing from Seattle,
there were no Ketchikan passengers
reported on the passenger dist.
RESULTED FATALLY
Rasmuss CHpp, who was brought
in to the Arthur Yates Hospital
Thursday evening from Sawyer &
McKay’s logging camp with a frac
tured skull, died shortly after two
o’clock this afternoon. As stated
in yesterday’s Progressive-Miner, the
fracture was the result of his be
ing struck by the falling top of
a tree. He never recovered con
sciousness after the accident. Up
to the time of going to press, no
funeral arrangements had been
made.
tfHE COMMERCIAL
CLUB REORGANIZES
At the regular meeting of the
Commercial Club held in the Coun
cil Chambers last night, a com
plete reorganization of the club was
effected. First the constitution and
by-laws were amended in such a way
as to centralize all the powers of
the club in the Executive Board, con*
sisting of eight members, which will
allow them to carry on the work of
the club unhampered. Then the
former Executive Committee pre
sented their individual resignations
so as to leave a clear field for the
introduction of new blood into the
management of the organization.
In the election of the new Executive
Board, the following well known
businessmen were chosen: J. J.
Daly, F. E. Ryus, J. C.^Barber, C.
H. Cosgrove, H. C. Strong, J. R.
Heckman, Fremont King and A. R.
Larson. Under the amended con
stitutioin they elect the club officers
from among their own number, and
the club adjourned without further
action.
