Crushed by Il LnndslIde.

Prtland, Ore, March 9.-A huge landslide swept down a ravine on Port land Heights at o'clock yesterday scsrung, completely wrecling the dwelling house of Daniel Mcdonald, killing his daughter Belle, aged eight cen years, and his cousin, Daniel Campbell, who was a guest at the house, and seriously injuring Mcdonald, his wife and a younger daughter, Mary
 Without a moments warning 1000 cubic yards of earth crashed down the side of the ravine from an altitude of 300 feet, striking the corner of the build ing and thoroughly demolishing it. The inmates were all asleep at the time, and so great was the shock that the bed upon which Mrs. Mcdonald was lying was thrust through rent in the side of the house and thrown far out into the roadway. The woman was badly bruised, and is suffering from nervous prostration. MT. Mcdonald, who is an invalid, was also cast out into the road through the same aperture and buried in mass of debris
 Neighbors quickly gathered about the wrecked building, and rescued the younger daughter of the owner, Mary, who was pinned down by pile of wreckage. She was badly cut and bruised, but will recover. MT. Campbell was discovered in his bed, dead from suffocation. Willing volunteers began digging In the great mound of earth for the body of the missing young wo- man, which they finally reached at 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
 The avalanche was caused by the operation of a small spring on the crest of the hill, which had saturated great quantity of loose soil, causing it to start from it's frozen bed
