Announcement ¶ The thirteen large and unattractive volumes known as the Pacific Railroad Reports are vaguely known to contain much valuable information. However, students rarely brave their depths. Miss Russell's study has been made for the purpose of pointing the way to the materials stored therein. ¶ The past year has been tragic in the loss of active officers in the pioneer and historical societies of the State. ¶ Correspondence has increased on the compilation of "Washington Geographic Names." Corrections and additions are more than welcome. They are earnestly solicited. More gifts to the University of Washington Library are acknowledged in the News Department. ¶ The death of General Hazard Stevens made a vacancy in the board of Contributing Editors of this Quarterly which has been filled by the appointment of H. B. McElroy of Olympia. The appropriateness of this selection will be recognized when it is recalled that his father was editor of the Columbian, the first paper printed north of the Columbia River.
