THE SUMAS DYKE.
An Undertaking that will Reclaim and
Improve Thousands OF Acrcs.

SUMAs, Nov. o. Special. "A recent
visit to the Upper Sumas, where the ex-
tenslve dyking scheme is IN progress, en-
ables more accurate view of the work
and dlssipates the many misgivings as to
Its early construction. J. A. Lumsdcn, of
the firm of Lumsden Bros. who has
pushed the enterprise from the first, and
has already put 80 900 of his money into
1t In preliminary work, is not man to be
baffied by the discouragements which he
has met. He has now a force of thirty
men clearing the right-of-way, while camp
quarters for fifty men, and fifty teams have
already been built and other camps are to
be established
The magnitude Of this enterprise is but
Iaintly comprehended. The dyke is to be
four and half miles in length, sixteen
feet in height, ten feet wide at the crown
and 100 wide feet at the base. Only clay
will be used in the construction. The
cost has been estimated at s35OOOO by the
engineer, 2. ]. Van Lohen Sells, of Hol-
land. The company get from the
owners of 10000 acres $3.50 an acre
ior cleared and $3.50 for timber land.
This will net them $4,000 The balance
they will have to stand good for as they
are the owners of 13o, 900 acres, including
Sumas lake, which they have recently
purchased of the Canadian government for
SIS per acre.
The scheme includes the draining and
recovery of the lake. There will be one
lock. The machinery for pumping will
cos. $4,000 when ready for operation. II
is contemplated to complete the work
sufficiently to protect Sumas prairie from
the annual overflow in 1893. Though this
will be of direct value to the owners of
$4,000 acres. and change it from almost
valueiess land to be worth $10O to $3.50 per
acre, the vast benefits will be shared by all
in this vicinity. Sumas City, on this side
the line, will be among the favored bene-
ficiaries, as a canal up Sumas river is a
part Of the plan.

Near Great Falls, Mont.
PASSENGERS ARE NoTMoLEsTED
Further Details of the Attempted
Train Wreck on Northern Pacific.
ing About the Bridge-The Fifth of
the Roslyn Robbers Apprehended-
Blaine Burglar Convicted.

GREAT FAILS. Mont. Nov. 29-rSpecial
Three masked men made an attempt to
rob the regular Western passenger train
of the Great Northern near Malta, a cattle
shipping point twenty miles east of here,
about 4 o'clock this morning. Soon after
the train left Malta one of the robbers
crawled over the tender into the cab, and
at the point of pistol compelled the
engineer to bring the train to a standstill.
AS the conductor and brakeman came out
OF the coach to see what was the matter
they were told to throw up their hands
and keep still. They did as ordered. The
masked men then compelled the conductor
to knock on the door of the express car
and ask the messenger to open the same.
Messenger Jerry Haurett, for a number
of years employed by the American Ex-
press Company, and now in the employ of
the Great Northern, was sitting by the
stove smoking when the conductor raped
on the door and asked him to hurry up
and open it. Jerry hastily threw the door
open and one of the robbers entering, made
him unlock the little safe in which yalu-
able express for intermediate points is car
r:ed. Taking what was wanted he ordered
the messenger to open the big safe. 1t
contained through business and can only
be opened by agents at five points west of
st. Paul. The messenger told the desper-
ado that he did not know the combination
and to save his life he could not unlock it.
Seeing they we're foiled, the robbers left
the train and disappeared into the dark
ness without attempting to molest any of
the passengers, and the train resumed its
journey westward. It is hard to learn
from the express officials how much was
taken by the robbers. They admit loss
of $40 in currency, some company pay
checks and few papers. including way
bills. From all accounts the train robbers
were not proficient in their line. else they
would have robbed the passengers when
they found nothing in the express car.

ments on file in the custom house that
company has no interest in the vessel.

cation Company. The latter corporation

THE NAPAyINE ATTEMPT.
How the Train Wreckers Planned Theil
Work-IncIdents Of the Affair.

now the Train Wreckera Planned Their
Work-Incldents OF the Affair.
TACOMA, Nov 29.-ESpecial. ]-Officers in
search of the Napavine train wreckers have
partially disposed of the theory that the
attempt at d;tching the train was prompted
by enmity toward the railroad company.
Among all the farmers and residents
thereabouts none have been found who
bear the railroad compsay ill-will. 1t is
thought the wreckers have fled the
country. Further details of the attempted
wreck show that the wreckers had selected
the north end of the bridge to remove
plates and bolts. Ifthey had removed the
plates from the south end the train would
have been ditched. There is a slight curve
at bridge No. g. and as the train rounded
the curve the pressure of the wheel fianges
was thrown on the outside rail, thus TAX
ing pressure from the inside rail- This is
an additional reason why the locomotive
kept the track. Had the loosened rail been
on the outside the pressure of hanges
would have no doubt turned it over
and let the train into the ditch. In re-
moving the plates the wreckers had to
remove some spikes. They did not, how
ever remove but few Of these. When
the plates were taken from the north end
OF the rail the end of the rail sprung
around somewhat, and to cover up this
break in the gradual curving line of the
rail. the wreckers had spread red ban
dana handkerchief over the Joint This
was done no doubt to deceive the engi-
neer and cause him to believe the rail was
all right Portions Of this handkerchief
were picked up after the train had passed.
1t seems miraculous that the train held
the track with the baggage car and one
truck of the express car off the track.
The train ran twice its length with three
trucks Oft the track, the baggage car
being next to the engine. The wheels of
the trucks OF the derailed cars were about
four inches from the rail when the train
stopped.
Rev. NJ. D. Wilson. of Vancouver. one
of the passengers. timed the trairmen in
putting trucks back on the rails and saws
they did it in forty-tive minutes, being
very quick time. c. u. Galbralth. of
Portland. another passenger, says he
thought of train robbers the instant the
tram stopped. He threw away his cigar
and placed himself in the aisle at the end
of the smoking car, where only one person
could get in at once. He had his gun
ready.to shoot and receive robbers should
they appear.
No attempt was made tonight to disable
the overland train from Portland. If he
thought il would aid in the capture of the
wreckers. Superintendent McCabe saws he
would offer reward for their apprehen-
sion.

Delay I'm Transport Of Naval seameu.

WASHINGTON CRY, Nov. 20-The navy
department Will soon send special COM
munication TO congress in connection
with the transportation of enlisted men
from New York to San Francisco. The
naval authorities are said to be mad all
over at the Pacific Mail Steamship Co.,
owing to their inability to get the COM
pany to transport their sailors. AS the
treasury department has ruled against
sending men across the continent by rail,
the navy department is greatly embar-
rased in its efforts to supply men for the
vessels on the Pacific coast. Recently the
department desired TO send 100 men to
San Francisco for the new coast defense
vessel Monterey. The company informed
the department that they could not take
the men for several weeks yet. The de-
par:men: has determined to ask congress
tor authority to transport its men across
the continent by rail.
