INDIAN RANCHERS ACTIVE
Progressiveness of Klickitat Shown
by Work on Farms.
HUSCM. Wash., May 17. (Special.)
Indian ranchers living along Husum
Creek, which extends some 12 miles to
the northeast, are showing progres
siveness by planting fruit trees, irrigat
ing hay tracts and doing dvelopment
work that would prove a good example
for some white men. Johnny Cayuse
and two sons have ranches not far
apart, and the condition of their
farms does not betoken laziness.
.8 a rule the Klickitat Indian has
several abodes on his ranch, giving
rise to much speculation as to the ne
cessity of so many buildings. This is
explained by the number of deaths in
a family. When a member dies the
family moves out of the residence at
once and lives in tepees if necessary
until another building is erected. The
former huildlngs are used for stables
or for storing hay and grain.
CRUISER BUFFALO WINS

supply to the cruiser Buffalo enough
Canadian coal to enable her to steam

Tha Buffalo, which Is at Cordova,
ran short of coal during a stormy
cruise to the Northern Islands and
came into port with her coal bunkers
nearly empty. Owing to a scarcity of
coal at Alaska ports, the Guggenheim
Morgan agent at Cordova declined to
sell coal to the Buffalo unless such
sale was approved by bis superior offi

Sandy River, 25 Miles East, Is
Disaster Scene.
INJURED MAY NOT LIVE
Four of Dozen Men Escape In Xoon
Crash One Xot Covered Though
Hurled, Another Hangs to
Crane Bodies Sought.
Four men were . killed and four
probably fatally injured in a landslide
on the Mount Hood Railway & Power
Company's line on the Sandy River, 25
miles east of Portland, at 11:55 o'clock
yesterday morning. Two of the bodies
were recovered last night and a force
worked all night in an effort to find
the two bodies that were buried under
the avalanche.
Th Injured workmen were conveyed
on a train as far as Gresham and from
that point were brought to the city in
automobile ambulances and are being
cared for at the Good Samaritan Hos- '
pltal.
The dead are:
D. Hunt.
William Stranley.
Ed Togansen.
W. Parrish.
The bodies of Togansen and Parrish.
are still missing.
The injured are:
Matt Otto.
R. J. Ryan.
A. Jackson.
E. J. Murphy.
All four were injured internally ana
may not recover.
Death Grazes Several.
Ten or 12 men were in the path of
the avalanche and several experienced
narrow escapes, engineer yan, a
brother of R. J. Ryan, who was hurt,
was carried over the hill and to th
edge of the river, but was unscathed.
He cannot account for his perilous ride
to safety. A man who was employed on
the huge crane of the shovel experi
enced an escape perhaps even more re
markable. He clung to the machinery
on the way down the embankment and
dropped off when he reached the base,
landing in front of a mass of eartlf.
Hans Peterson, the foreman, had the
rare experience oi seeing me ma
chinery, men and hillside swept away
In front of him. The earth broke loose
directly under his feet, but tore away
right before him, allowing him to stand
at the edge of the yawning hole that It
left-
C. H. Packer, the superintendent, waa)
only a few feet away, and was first at
tracted by the wild cries of the men aa
they were carried toward their fate.
Bodies Xot Yet Found.
Others employed in the camp also
heard the shouts of their comrades and
hastened to the rescue. Soon the en
tire construction force was engaged in
the task of liberating the injured and
attempting to recover the bodies of the
dead.
E. R. Ernsberger, general manager of
the railroad department of the..Mount
Hood Railway & Power Company, waa
in his offices In Portland when the acci
dent occurred. Ha started for the place
as soon as It waB reported to him. He
returned late last night and reported
that the men were still working to re
cover the two bodies that remained un
der the pile of earth. The accident,
he said, was peculiar In many ways.
The grading crew was about to quit
work for dinner when without warning
20,000 yards of earth, trees, rock and
debris rushed down the steep hillside,
swallowing eight of the workmen in its
mad course toward the Sandy River.
Other members of the crew barely es
caped with their lives.
Those who escaped the path of tha
avalanche at once ascertained the ident
ity of their missing comrades and threw
themselves quickly into the work of
rescuing the victims. After hours of
herolo labor, four of the crew were un
covered and removed. Dr. Short of
Gresham took charge of the injured and
had them conveyed to the city as soon
as possible. Later the bodies of Hunt
and Stranley were unearthed, their
lives having been crushed out by the
terrific slide. .
The rescuing party was reinforced
by other workmen employed on the
grading work at other points and by
residents living in the vicinity. Tons
of earth were removed but up to last
night, it was impossible to find a trace
of the two missing men.
The Immense steam shovel used by
the grading crew waa gathered np by
the onrushlng slide and hurtled Into
the Sandy River as If it were a piece
of paper.
Drenching Weakens Ground.
The heavy rains of the past week
had soaked the ground thoroughly and
it is believed that with this tremen
dous weight of water the earth had
been loosened and was weakened at
the point where the crew was working
no noise or crashing was heard until
planation of the cause of the slide. A
peculiar feature is that the earth
seemed to break away in an Instant, as
