HUGE LAND SLIDE
And Not Volcanic Action
Caused Frank Disaster.
Dead Now Number About So Only 10
Bodies So Far Recovered.
Ten Square Miles of the Finest Land
Laid in Ruins.

Frank, N. r. W., April 30.-It is def
nitely known that Sc people lost their
lives here, before daybreak, Wednes-
day, by the sliding of the rocky top of
Turtle mounts in down upon the sleep
ing village If Frank.
Beside killing So people. the slide de-
strnyed the plant Of the Canadian
American Coal and Coke Co., did a vast
amount of damage to the mine. and
completely devastated about 10 square
miles of the finest and most pictures
que section of Crows Nest pass.
Many bodies of the dead never will be
found. Some cabins are buried under
$50 feet of rock. Only 10 bodies have
been recovered.
The yawning chasm still remains
open, according to reports brought i'm
by men who have been on the other
side of the montain.
In the downward rush of the debris
and other material that was thrown up
by the upheaval, the entire operating
plant of the French Canadian Coal Co.
was carried away. Seventeen houses
We're demolished and the people living
i'll them were Instantly killed The di-
rect monetary damage will exceed ST.
800 900. The actual loss to the mine
company probably will not exceed $780,
0c0. The Canadian Pacific Railway Co.
loses heavily through blocking of It's
track.
The scene of the awful catastrophe
was originally one of the most pictur-
esque valleys in Canada. Through the
center of this valley ran the Old Man
river, which has it's source on the east
ern slope of the Crows Meet pass.
The land, which was once of great
value and was rapidly increasing i'm
price, on account of the known presence
of natural gas as well as coal deposits,
is now buried many feet deep with
waste matter and made valueless.
Many are Inclined to believe that the
force exerted was n huge mountain
slide, caused by an earthquake or sub
terranean explosion of gas.
The general opinion is that the
trouble was not volcanic as at first sup
posed. Pieces of rock, many of them
weighing hundreds of tons, falling from
the strangely altered top of Turtle
mountain, still continue to break loose
and come crashing down.

considering the matter of having q
street fair here next fall. It was re-
solved to go ahead and have a fair

WEDNESDAY. MAY 13, 1903.
THIRD WARD ELECTION,

The issues of the last city campaign
will again be brought before the voters
of the Third ward next Tuesday, when
an alderman is to be elected to fill the
unexpired term of S. B. Qvale, who
resigned to accept the Office of mayor.
At the citizens caucus called by the
Civic Federation and held last Wednes-
day, Erick Holt was placed in nomi-
nation for the position. A certificate
of nomination by committee signed by
Alton Crosby and W. J. Pinney for
chairman and secretary of such COM
mittee, was filed upon Saturday for A.
G. Johnson of P. H. Roise & Co., as
the republican candidate. Thus there
will be contest that will add some
interest to what otherwise would have
been a perfunctory and tame affair.
Mr.. Holt stands for the policies and
principles which the new city admins
tration was placed III power to carry
out, and his election will add strength
to the same. His personal record is
such that no better man can be found
to fill the place. The fact that such
men as Mr.. Holt consent to sacrifice a
portion of their valuable time for the
benefit of the city is hopeful sign,
and an Indication that our city govern
ment is to be directed by its best class
of citizens. Mr.. Johnson, aside from
his personal merits, was placed on the
ballot to keep alive the partisan idea
in municipal atfairs-that a man s
fitness for municipal Offices depends
upon what opinions he may hold on
national politics, regardless of his
ideas on the issues that engage the at.
tention of the citizens in the local az
fairs of our city. The citizens OF
Third ward will have the same choice
as confronted them at the recent cleo.
tion-to vote as citizens or as parts.
