Bodies or Vive Kccovei'ccl.
This afternoon the bodies of only
five men had been recovered. They
were those of lloadtnaster Ilraser,
Fireman Griffith, Conductor Buckley,
Kmerineer Phillips and a Japanese. The
work of recovering the dead and open
in? the track is greatly impeded by a
blizzard that is blowing through the
pass.
There was also another big slide of
pnon: and rock this morning a mile
east of the spot where the men were
overwhelmed. It destroyed a portion
of a snowshed and buried the track
for 4(10 yards to a depth of BO feet.
There were no victims in the last ava
lanche. Traffic Seeks Xcw Route.
Today's castbound express left here
nt :t:lo as usual. . TJntil the tracks
have been cleared. passenger traffic,
east and westbound, will be handled
via the Arrow T-akes. Nelson and the
Crow's Nest Pass Itailway.
When the slide came this morning
the men were engaged in clearing
away a small slide which had come
down early in the evening. The men
w-ere spread out over the slide and
working a rotary engine ove it. when
. A. larger slide came down and carried
them to their dentil in the canyon be
low. At first it was believed that all
of the 100 men engaged were killed,
but during the early morning it was
found that many had escaped and the
death list is now placed at 62.
Last night was one of the worst that
was ever experienced in the railway
section of the Canadian llockies. There
was a heavy storm of rain and sleet
pnd sometimes snow, and weather con
ditions were altogether at their worst.
As the hours advanced rain and sleet
continued in increasing volume. Pre
cisely at 12:.1u this morning, when half
the first slide had been removed, the
second avalanche descended. It started
on the side of the canyon opposite the
point where 'the first slide took place.
Thousands of feet above a few rolling
bundles of snow, growing in volume
and momentum, started on a pathway
of destruction.
In a few seconds, with a noise like
a thousand thunderbolts crashing in
unison, the avalanche leaped from shelf
to shelf, uprooting and carrying wtih
it a tangled mass of ice. trees and
boulders. There was no escape for the
unfortunate railway men. The ava
lanche piled on top of the first slide,
burying the track for a distance of a
quarter of a mile and to a depth of !i0
feet. Hundreds of thousands of tons
of other debris in the wake of the
avalanche bounded off tie -intre ;ean

The news of the disaster was flashed
by a lone telegraph operator at a
wayside station a mile distant.
The bodies of many of the victims
were probably swept into the canyon
and may not be recovered until Summer

Garcia, on G. M. & S. P., Is Scene
of Fatality.
TACOMA, Wash., March 5. A rock
slide at Garcia, 13 miles west of the
summit, at S:."0 this morning, instantly
killed Xlichnel Mumhv. of Seattle, and
seriously injured Jacob Schmitz. fore
man of the bridge crew, and O. L.
Johnson. They were repairing a bridge
over Mine Creek. The injured men
were removed to a Seattle hospital.
At the office of the superintendent
of the Chicago, Milwaukee & Puget
Sound Kailway the accident at Garcia
was said to be the only one that had
occurred since the blockade began.
There is no such station as Mountain
dale, where, it was reported, a slide
had killed one and injured several. Ttie
track is not seriously washed out or
buried deeply and will be opened with
in a few days, according to railroad
officials.
The rescue party sent to the summit
with supplies Monday returned today
and reports terrible conditions. Several
bridges are gone and in one place three
quarters of a mile of track is wiped out.
In spots the track is under 50 feet of
rock, trees and snow, and the line can
not be opened in less than a month.
1. F. Martin, who led the rescue
party to the summit, where a round
house is located, reported that the 40
inhabitants had been living on bread j
and coffee for four days when he ar
rived. At Rockdale, the operator and his
wife, snowed under in the station with
no one llvlnsr within several ml lew. had
been on a diet of coffee for a week.
The crews of engines snowed in nt
Laeonia, the summit station, saw the
rescuers laboring up the mountain trail
some miles away. They began blowing
the engine whistles and the whole pop
ulation turned out to welcome the
party. T?ut the first demand was not
for food, but for tobacco, of which
there lm been none in eamo for a
week 1
On the way the rescue party passed
within 150 feet of a huge cougar which
eyed them eagerly as they passed and
followed for some distance. There was
not a gun in the party.

Funeral to Be Held Today.
DALLAS. Or.. March ."..(Special.)
Making a noose of the swing on which
she and her brothers and sisters played,
Mary West, 15 years old, hanged herself
to a tree near her home in the Upper
Salt Creek yesterday. It is believed the
girl committed suicide fearing she would
dlo of consumption as did her brothers
and sisters when they had attained her
age.
Fear of lingering illness as suffered by
her brothers and sisters is the only
cause ascribed for tlie girl's self-inflicted
death, and Coroner Chapman will
hold no inquest. She was the daughter
of Elijah A. West.
In ending her life Miss West detached
the rope swing from a tree in the play
grounds near the house and walked a
quarter of a mile from her home. Here
she climbed a tree, secured one end of
the rope to a branch, tioL thte other end
about her neck and jumped. The body
was found in the afternoon.
Funeral services will be held tomorrow
and interment will be made in Salt Creek

Washington Officer Is Busy, How
ever, and Goes Over One Con
signment of 11X2,500 Trees.
VANCOUVER. Wash.. March 5.
ISpecial.) A. A. Quarnberg, horticul
tural inspector of the district compris
ing the counties of Clark. Skamania
and Klickitat. has returned from
Roosevelt, Klckitat county, up tell
Columbia River, where he inspected a
consignment of 102.500 apple and
almond trees, which are to be set out
this Spring.
In speaking of the condition of the
fruit trees of the county Inspector
Quarnberg said that they are not in as
good condition as they should be at
this time of the year. The continued
rain has kept the fruit growers from
spraying during February, so the work
will have to be crowded in March.
He had intended to inspect all of the
trees and orchards in his district dur
ing February and March, but th.rain
made this impossible, so he will In
spect as many as possible in March and
the first part of April. . '
Hoping to create an interest among
fruit growers in taking better care of
their trees, thereby increasing their
profits, Mr. Quarnberg has given the
following pointers:
"All fruit trees should be pruned,
cleaned up and sprayed with sulphur
lime solution while dormant, or before
the buds open in Spring. Spraying is
the most important, and if properly
done the most profitable of all or
chard work.
"Neglected , fruit trees are not
worth the ground they occupy; they
are an eyesore, and when pest-infected
they are a positive menace to the
neighborhood.
"There is much, need of creating
among our people, both in the country
and towns, a sentiment in favor of
cutting out old and diseased fruit trees
which cannot be revivefl by pruning
and spraying This year more of an
effort will be made to enforce the
laws regarding the sale of pest-Infested
and diseased fruit, and it is not
going to pay to neglect fruit trees, as
it will be difficult to sell their
product."
APPLE PICKING SHOWN
Good-Wixed Audience Attends Dem
onstration at Y". M. C. A.
Demonstrating for the benefit of a large
audience in the auditorium of the Young
Men's Christian Association how apples
are packed so as to bring the highest
returns. Professor Charles A. Cole, of the
Oregon Agricultural College, mingled a
running talk with his performance of the
actual work."
Professor Cole used Ben Davis apples
for his demonstration, because, he said,
they would "stand the racket better."
He used sawed-off boxes to illustrate the
starting of packs of various forme and
the use of appliances and supplies.
At the close of the main lecture Pro
fessor Cole answered questions. He
named the Jonathan apple as among the
most profitable for growing in the Wil
lamette Valley, said that a larger per
centage of yellow Xewtowns would grade
first-class than of rod apples, because it
was not necessary to cull them for color,
and was inclined to discourage the plant
ing of Ben Davis trees.

RISE OF MESSENGER BOYS
Many Have Become Successful In
Important Lines of Work.
Letter to the New York Times.
The statement regarding messenger
boys becoming tramps after the age
of IS, made by Mrs. Florence Kelly,
secretary of the National Consumers'
League, to the legislative committee
investigating employers' liability and
the problem of the unemployed, is far
from being correct. I am inclined to
think that she has either been misin
formed or id not investigate the mat
ter thoroughly.
I will admit that some messenger
boys go astray. Just the same as boys
employed in other lines of business,
but how many tramps are there today
who never were messenger boys?
Some of our most prominent men of
today were messenger boys, and they
are not ashamed to admit it. Andrew
Carnegie, for Instance, will tell you
that he worked for $3.50 per week as
messenger boy. If you want to see
some ex-messenger boys who are hold
ing good positions at present, pay a
visit to Wall street. There are about
twenty members of the New York
Stock Exchange who started as
messengers. There are cashiers of
brokerage houses; also of banks and
commercial houses. There are many
men holding public offices at Wash
ington, Albany, and in our own city
hall who were messenger boys. One
third of our brave firemen and patrol
men were -messengers.
Time will not permit me to mention
the names of men in all walks 'of life
who were .messenger boys and are not
ashamed to admit . it. The statement
that boys were thrown out when they
reached the age of 18. is far from being
correct. It is ridiculous. I have in my
employ one boy who is under 18; ail
the others are over 19. I have never
heard of a manager throwing a boy
out because he was getting older.
All officials of the telegraph and mes
senger companies have been messen
gers, and they are all over 18 years of
age. and have not been thrown out.
Many of our newspaper men were mes
senger boys, and they are not tramps,
either.
If boys do go astray and become
tramps, who Is to blame? Certainly
not their .employers. Sometimes it Is
the fault of the parents, who do not
know how to bring children up. They
never think of sending them to church
or Sunday school, but they always
manage to find time to let them attend
some moving picture show or a dance
hall.
I was a messenger, and am over 18
and not a tramp.
UNCLE GOES SHOPPING
He Gets Commission From His Sis
ter to Buy Machine Needles.
Dallas (Tex.) News,
dl NCLE WILL was a most accommo
dl dating uncle to the youngsters,
and a most devoted brother to their
mother, therefore when Uncle Will
started to town his sister did not hesi
tate to ask him to buy something she
needed, nor did the children hesitate to
demand that he bring candy.
What Uncle Will's sister needed -was
some sewing machine needles for a
Busybody Sewing Machine, Model C-23,-468.
"All right," said Uncle Will; "all
right, I've got the number down. How
many shall I get a quart?"
"Heavens, no!" said his literal sister;
"all I want is two or three. Be sure
they're for a high-arm Busybody ma
chine with a tangent shuttle. No. C-23,-468."
Uncle Will thought of sewing ma
chine needles as he was going to the
station on his way home..- He stopped a
policeman and asked him where sewing-machine
needles might be had. The
policeman considered.
'There's a place," he said at length,
"across town, but tt's-a long way from
here. They keep all Kinds of machin
ery engines and things."

Then' a bright Idea came to him an
inspiration.
"Why not ring for a messenger boy,"
he said, "and have him show you the
places?" This struck Uncle Will as a
great time-saving scheme, and present
ly he was in tow of a red-haired mes
senger boy, who smoked cigarettes pro
fusely. "We want some sewin' machine nee
dles," said the boy as they entered the
nearest department store. The floor
walker pointed dramatically toward the
elevator.
"Seventh floor rear," he said and de
parted. "What kind of needles?" inquired the
saleswoman. Uncle Will dived into hla
pocket.
"Busybody, high-arm, tangent shut

memorandum.
"Don't keep "em," said the lady brief
ly, turning to resume her. interrupted
conversation with a lady friend who
had called.
At the next store they offered needles
for a Hummer machine, said to be made
by the same people.
"Is It the same as the high-arm tangent-shuttle
machine No. C-23,468?"
Uncle Will asked.
"Not exactly." said tlie tall, spectacled
man who waited on them, "but it's a
good machine. Y'ou'd better let me sell
