Northern railroad is the opinion (ft

Th,e avalanche was beyond all rea
sonable doubt caused by a thunder
storm which happened that night,"
said Prof, Saunders. "It is a well
known fact that atmospheric shocks
often start small landslides . A per
sonal . acquaintance " of mine, who
spends much of his time during win
ter months at Scenic told me of how
people in that vicinity . were in the
habit of starting small slides in the
neighborhood by merely firing a gun,
At 1:45 on the flay before the slide
a considerable earthquake was re
corded n our seismograph, ; which
would bare been just about 12 hours
before the catasthrope, but it iB not
likely that this caused the slide.
