Three Days Struggle to Keep tho Gres

Northern Above Ground.
The Great Northern road has been kept open
turing the last three days by strenuous exer.
Sons to clear away slides between Mukilteo and
diamonds, ono having come on top OF another
The slide which came down on Sunday was so
heavy that the only measure by which an inter-
Suption of traffic could be avoided was to lay
Nmporary track over the top of IL for use while
the hydraulic apparatus was washing out the
great mass OF dirt underneath. After work had
BEEN continued throughout Sunday night the
rev track was just being connected with the
I'D h4 o'clock on Monday morning, whom an
other slide OF 1900 cubic yards of earth came
eown and swept it into the Sound. Undaunted,
he workmen, under Superintendent Nefrs
mpervision. built another temporary track over
he second slide. Passengers were transferred
cross the slide on Monday morning, but the
south-bound train ran over the temporary track
hat afternoon.
Work still continues on the removal OF the
dirt Of which 5000 cubic yards had been cleared
away up to yesterday afternoon. The hydraulic
gsfem has been found q great success and will
used in all sand slides in the future as the
clearing Is done much more quickly and cheap
y than by manual labor. The pump Is a
duplex, set on pile-driver, which moves Itself
atthe rate of twelve miles an hour by means OF
pinion gearing and is in charge Of a conductor

gearing was found necessary on account Of the
great amount of piie-driving on the Seattle
water front and repairs to the bridges and bulk

Regarding the cause of these last slides, Mr..
Eef said yesterday:
They occurred at q point where the top

An interesting point of law was passed upon
yesterday by Judge Osborn In hearing a demur-
rer in the case of C. J. Eddy against the city to
recover on street grade warrants. The city fled
demurrer to the complaint, alleging that the
warrants had not been presented to the council
for payment as was required by a city ordi-
nance. The demurrer was argued by w. d.
Lambuth for the plaintiff and Corporation
Counsel Donworth for the city. The court up
held Mr.. Donworth's position, that it lies within
the implied powers of the city council to pass
such law, and sustained the demurrer.
