REPORTS CONFLICTING
Wallace, Ida., Feb. 28. The
messages from the scene of the
great double snowslide, which
burled Mace and Burke, are
contradictory. One report states
that 32 bodies have been recov-
ered. A message from tho head-
quarters of the Hecla mine
stated that the- total number of
bodies recovered up to 1 o'clock
was 18. Officials of the Amal-
gamated here are inclined to be-
lievo that the reports of the two
disasters have been confused
and that the total was doubled In
the larger estimate. The more
conservative mining men stated
this afternoon that they be-
lleved the total loss of life would,.
be below 50. -'"

who are struggling against a great
weight of snow aro in constant dan
ger of being entombed by a third
slide.
After tho first avalanche had
smothered tho town of Mace and
crushed the slight framo structures
of the little mining camp, as if they
had been mado of pasteboard, scores
of persons in the adjoining towns be
gan tho work of rescue, continuing
their labors through the night.
At daylight a great mass of snow
and Ico that had overhung tho tov. n
of Burke gave way, and with a
grinding, roaring rush, swept down
the mountain side, burying the camp
under tons of rocks, trees, earth and
snow.
Th,e, men who woro attempting to
rescue the victims of tho first slide
fled in terror as the mass Impending
over Burke began to move.
Most of the men of Burke had re
sponded to tho call for volunteers
when Mace was burled, and these be
held the destruction of their homes
and the probable death -of tho wives
and children of those who were mar

PREPARE FOR
A BIG FLOOD
Seattle, Wash., Fob. 28.
"The worst combination of
weather In six years," is tho
way thk United States weather
bureau characterizes tho situa
tion In Seattle and tho Puget
Sound territory today.
Tho rain for the past flvo
days has been more than the
normal precipitation for tho en
month of February and all day
yesterday a "southwester" blow
down signboards and tossed tho
waters of Puget Sound and tho
lakes Into great waves.
Today tho sun Is making an
effort to shine and tho wind has
subsided somewhat, but tho
weather promises no immediate
relief.
Yesterday tho wind umlrf-
tained a 38 milk an hour gait
all day accompanied by a
drenching downpour. Warn-
Ings have been sent to all val-
ley farmers west of tho Cas-
cades to prepare for a flood, as
a thaw seems imminent and the
snow is far heavier than usual
in tho mountains.
