land could not yesterday keep the hills of
the tracks long enough to let train go by.
The morning train started out about
noon but, after getting by halt dozen
slides. abandoned the attempt to pass the
others ahead. When the train started to
return it was found that the enemy had
surrounded it, and the rear guard had to
do some severe fighting in order to effect
the retreat. One of the slides was 90 huge
that in topping over It broke the tele-
graph wire fifty feet away on the further
side of the track.
Superintendent Copeland was in no
amiabie frame of mind yesterday. In adj
dition to having his efforts to keep tho
line open baffled, he sunk into the muck
over his boot tops, and in houndering
around he took header in the mire.
The cost of keeping this short bit Of track
opents considerably more than its proper
ton of the earning of the road. About 100
men are kept at work there all the time,
making the cost of maintenance about $50
. day. And yet after all the line has to
be abandoned for the present.
Until it is once more got into shape the
traffic between here and Everett will be
done by boat, and the train now in the
north will only come down to that place
and then return.
