Although ten days have passed since the tragic Northern Pacific wreck in Kendnck can yon, and the body of the fifth and last dead trainman has been taken out, the mass of railroad iron has not been cleared away. It ie piled so high that it has turned the channel of l'otlach creek. Inquiry into the cause of the wreck, just concluded, shows that the trainmen were at fault. They had eighteen flat cars loaded with steel rails for the Clear water cut off and two locomotives. They should have divided the train before starting down the tremendous 2 per cent grade in the canyon, as the tracks wero slippery with a light enow. The heavy oad pot beyond control, and although thccouduc'or and one brakeman eaved themselves by cutting off the caboose, the train was wrecked, causing a loss of 100,000, and the loss of five lives.
