a great many guesses and some bets

have been wide of the mark, every

Guesses were all the way from $50

going above the latter figure. An

the figure at over 900. The reports

PORTLAND THE WINTER PORT.
Reported Conference OF Canadian
Pacific, Boston & maine and
Maine Central Managers.
A despatch to the Boston Journal. from
Washington, saws:

A despatch to the Boston Journal, from
Washington, says:
The report reaches here today, from Halifax,
that the Canadian Pacific has in contemplation
the stoppage Of its line to the seaboard through
not suggest cause for this reported action. The
most searching inquiry here fails to furnish any
definite information upon the subject The Sena-
tors and Representatives from Maine have been
questioned. They heard of this report for the
first time today.
AT the Treasury Department it was said
there were some technical objections to CIV
ing the Canadian Pacific a bond, and also
question how to protect the American lines
against the competition of the Canadian
lines running through Maine. It was urged,
also, against the granting of a bond to the
Canadian Pacific, which would enable it to
utilize its highway through the State of
Maine. that the bond given by the Cleveland
administration to the line of steamers from
San Francisco to Port Huron had practically
made this Canadian Pacific an American
trans-continental road from the Pacific to
the Atlantic and to any intermediate point
inasmuch as the bond was construed to per.
init the Canadian Pacific to accept goods in
bond to any point in the United States. In
view of this construction there was reluc-
tance in the Treasury Department to grant
ing the application of the Canadian Pacific
for an additional bond, and the Canadian
Pacific withdrew its application for an addi-
tional bond.
1t Is rep 1rted that the chief officers of tt
Canadian Pacific, Maine Central and Boston
g. Maine held meeting in Boston yesterday,
and that it had reference to the matters re-
ported by Webb in the Boston Journal. One
report here is that the Enew arrangement
with the Wabash system goes into effect
April 1st, and that the time for announcing
the determination of the Canadian Pacific to
make Portland its Atlantic seaport is much
nearer than is generally imagined.

RODE ON AN AvALANcHs.
An Exciting Episode Of Life In the
Snow Bound West.

LEADvILLE. Col, March 11.-Thomas
Gowdy, Robert Cedargien and an elderly la
dy started down from the head o. Empire
Gulch yesterday morning in a wagon for this
place. When they reched the place where
snow slide had occurred late on Friday night
they unhitched the horses and Gowdy start
ed across the slide with them to break the
road. Cedargien followed few feet behind
him. Wnen they had gone short distance
arumbling noise ws heard, and looking up
ward they saw the whole side of the hill
coming toward them. 1t was impossible to
turn back and before they could decide what
to do the avalanche of snow struck them.
Cedargien was carried down hill, distance
OF 300 feet, escaping without a scratch. He
looked around for Gowdy but could not see
MIN nowhere, and concluded that he had
been killed. About half a mile from where
the slide took place, two miners were work
Ing .Cedargien went to them and the three
men fastened with their shovels to search
for Gowdy. The victim had dog that was
much attached to him.. The animal, SEEM
ingly knowing what was wanted, began to
sniff about the spot and in short time he
found the place where his master was en-
tombed. The men shovelled away the snow
to the depth Of several feet, and found the
body of Gowdy with his head downward to-
ward the gulch; he was suff0cated. The Ia
dy escaped without injury.

BAD ENOUGH BUT WILL Be WORSE.
People Living Near Great Rivers
Driven from Their Homes.
A Leyee Like a Chain, Strong as Its
Weakest Link.
A Small Army With ShoveIs Trying
To Replace One Link.

ST.LoUIs, Mo-, March 11.-There will be
along the lower Mississippi. There will be
great destruction of property and probably
loss Of life. The Ohio and all its tributaries
are very high, the upper Mississippi and
Missouri are high and rising here and above.
and rain has been falling here and in the
Northwest. The snow fall in the mountains,
as is known, has been very heavy and the
mild winter makes 1t certainty that this
snow will melt early. This Of course means
that an immense volume will be poured
down upon the streams that are already
bank-full. The situation about Cairo at the
mouth Of the Ohio, has been growing more
serious daily, and today may be said to have
reached crisis. The country for miles is
under water and hundreds of people whose
homes are In the river bottoms have been
drowned out and have sought refuge In the
high lands. Hundreds Of farms in Missouri,
Illinois and Kentucky comprising thousands
OF the richest farming lands in the country,
are completely submerged. In many cases
families are living in boat houses or upon
rats, while in other instances where the
houses are built on slight elevations or
knobs, as they are called, the people stick to
them with water all around, and In very
many cases lower floors are under water
There has been great loss Of live stock but
no human lives have yet been lost More
than half Of the city Of Cairo Is submerged
and business is paralyzed, the only means Of
Communication being by boats and RATS.
The levees in the vicinity still stand the
strain, but the water backs up or gets in the
rear door of the city, as 1t were. Great ef-
forts and thousand, of dollars have been
spent on legees along the lower Mississippi
The loud boasts OF the contractors made the
people believe they were more safe. There
certainly has been good work done, and the
protection against inundatiOn Is better now
than ever before, but In their fancied security
the people gazing on good work in certain
localities forgot that chain Is only as strong
as its weakest link. They were aroused to a
knowledge of this fact Dy the breaking Of
the levee near the town Of Arkansas City,
where the embankment was built almost
wholly of sand. When the water once got
through there seemed no stopping 1t, and
within "a hours there was crevasse sixty
feet wide. and rapidly widening, while the
water rushed through like mill race. This
break lets the water In on one of the richest
sections of farming country in the world,
and according to news received last night
the whole of four parishes. comprising the
Tensas Basin in Louisiana will be inundated
Every man capable of handling shovel has
been pressed into service, and an army are
at work, but with scant hope of accomplish
ing much.

The Mechanic Blues,

The Mechanic Blues, Co. B., First Regi-
ment, M. V. NJ, to be disbanded by order of
Adjutant General Sprague is historic COM
pany. 1t was organized January 81, 1907,
when Portland was under the jurisdiction of
Massachusetts. Curing the following year
a charter was received from the Massachu-
setts Legislature, and Martin Nichols was
elected as the first captain. In the year
1912, while the United States were at war
with England, the Blues held a meeting in
Mechanic Hall and John w. Smith was
elected captain.
The following were elected captains in the
years following: Thomas sOsgood, Samuel

Scott, Daniel Gilbert, Eli Hamblen, Leonard
Stoddard, Charles F. March, James Sweet
sir, William P. Stodder, Wendall P. Smith,
William P. Stodder and Thomas A. Roberts.
The latter gentleman, who. by the way, was
the father of Adiutant Charles w. Roberts
of this city, held the office of captain from
1854 to 1861, when he was made colonel of
the 18th Maine Regiment.
In the wSr the Blues was first commanded
by Captain Charles Walker, with @. j. PEN
nell and J. NJ. Black lieutenants. After the
war, in 1868, the company was recognized
under Governor Chamberlain, with the fol-
lowing officers: Captain George W. Parker,
Lieutenants Charles ]. Pennell and j. r.
Brown. Lieutenant Pennell was then elect
ed captain and then followed by Hiram Fl.
Rich and Elbridge Gerry. In 1879 Charles
w. Davis was elected captain and held the
efice for 10 years, when Edward E. Phil
brook was elected, who was the captain at
the time of disbanding

LOUISIANA LOTTERY.
The Question Of Renewing Its Char

prominent politicians upon the proposed ex-
tension Of the charter of the Louisiana Lot.
terry Company for a period of twenty-five
years. the consideration to be an annual Ii.
cense ranging from $25O,0OO to $5OO,OOO, 1
find them as rule exceedingly loath to talk
upon the subject. Many of them ad-
init that they favor the proposition. but ask
not to be quoted as doing so. This is espec-
tally true of the ward bosses in this city.
ernor Nichols is one of them, who says he
is opposed to all lotteries.
Among those l interviewed on the subject
was Mr.. James ID. Houston, one of the most
influential Democratic leaders in the state,
who spoke very freely. He said:
II am heartily in favor of the proposition.
The moral question involved was settled
twenty years ago when the lottery was first
chartered. Ii the people were not allowed
to buy lottery tickets in the state they would
years ago. / think the money should be
kept here"

talists in the state and chairman. of the Re-
outspoken in favor of the extension of the
company's charter for reasons similar to
those given by Mr.. Houston.
HonsFrank McGlorin, judge of the court
of appeals and editor of the holy Family,
one of the Catholic organs of this diocese, is
earnestly opposed to the lottery and will bit
terly fight any extension of its charter.
Rev. DIR. B. Carrodine, pastor of the Caron-
delet Street Methodist church, the most in

has been heading the fight against the lotte-
ry for many months and strong opposition
is developing.
