AVALANCHES BEGIN
AS TINY SNOWSLIDES
ENGINEER TELLS HOW
SNOWSLIDES ARE FORMED
Man Who Bored Famous Cascade
Tunnel Explain Nature of Country
at Wellington and Relates His Ex-
' perlence With Avalanches.
H. R. De Laplln, the railway en
gineer who bored the famous Cascade
tunnel at the west approach ot which
two Great Northern tralna were
thrown to destruction Monday, told
today of the four years he lived at
Wellington, Wash., the town which
waa burled by the avalance.
"People may scoll at the stories of
trains swept over the ledge by the
snow," he said, "but they are moat
probable. I have aeen engines and
rotary snow plows thrown over many
times by slides. But a slide capable
of carrying two trains over the cliff
must have been an Immense avalan
che the greatest In the history of
mountain railroading.
Wellington on Ledge.
"Wellington rests on a narrow ledge
1900 feet above sea level. It Is a few
hundred feet, perhaps 100 feet, west
of. the west portal of the tunnel. The
bore is at the creBt. The different
atmosphere pressures meet above the
tunnel and the heaviest snowfalls on
the line of tho Great Northern Is reg
istered at that point. Tests, carried
on for years, show that the average
snowfall is 30 feet, 8 Inches at Wel
lington. "The town sat on a narrow ledge
about 100 feet wide, and about 800
feet long.. On one side of the shelf,
the mountain side rises at an angle
of 40 degrees, overhanging the vil
lage. On the other side the ledge
drops sheer to the canyon below for
a distance of 200 feet.
"From what I can learn, the ava
lanche, a mile In length, started on
the side of the mountain which over
hung the town. It swooped down,
carrying rocks, boulders and earth
with It, crashing over the village and
sweeping the two trains, which were
standing on a side track. Into the
canyon. From what I read and with
my knowledge of the country, I am
under the impression snow which
rested on the mountain side, crashed
over the town.
Town's Population. '
"Wellington Is peopled by two or
three gangs of section hands, a few
railroad men, the station agent and
operators, and a storekeeper. The
Great Northern Keeps a large quantity
of supplies at Wellington, as trains
are often stalled there by the snow.
While I waa building the tunnel we
maintained a hospital. I do not know
If a company physician Is stationed
there. All told, not more man ou
persons make up the Inhabitants of
the village.
"My experience with snowsllaea
were numerous. I stood near the Wel
lington station one bright day, try
ing to sight our center pole, which
was planted on the top of the moun
tain, through a glass. While I looked
chunks of snow fell from the limns
of a tree, far up the side of the
mountain. The loose snow rolled and
grew In size. It gained speed and
gathered up a great mass. Soon It
grew too large to roll, anc began
sliding. When It reached the track
it was made up of hundreds of tons
of snow, Ice, rocks and earth. There
It struck an engine and two large ro
tary snow plows, throwing them on
their side.
"During the winter months and
well Into the month of .Tune the snow
may often be seen slides are dally
occurrences. It is impossiDio to an
ticipate them." Portland Journal.
