eloUD1uRsT CAUSES Terrible
DISASTER ON THE DENVER
AND RIO GRANpE.
NIGH WATER WEAkENo BRIDGE
AND IT GIVES WAY UNDER
WEIGHT OF TRAIN.
ENGINE AND Three COACHES
PREClPI1ATED INTO THE
RAGING TORRENT.

Pueblo, Colo, Aug. Strain No. II,
the Missouri Pacific flyer, crashed
through bridge over Dry creek, near
Eden, on the Denver and Rio Grande
railroad. It is estimated that of the
1925 passengers on board the ill fated
train more than 100 lost their lives
either under the waters of the raging
torrent or beneath the wreckage. Many
Of the bodies were carried down Foun-
tain creek by the wall of water, which
had force enough to carry several
coaches nearly four miles away from
the point where they went through
the bridge. A cloudburst had filed the
creek and water was flowing over the
trestle when the train started across.
The bridge went down under the
weight of the train and the baggage
car, smoker and chair car were pre-
cipitated into the torrent. The engine
got almost across. but fell back into
( the water.
The body Of Engineer Human was
found 400 feet down the river. The
express car was found four miles away
with the safe open and it's contents
gone. The chair car was nearby, halt
filled with sand, in which were buried
the bodies OF many passengers. The
smoker was washed still further down
stream and was not located until sew
eral hours after the accident.
So far seventy bodies have been re-
covered from the scene of the disas-
ter and thousands of persons are pa
trolling the banks of the Fountain
river in search of the victims.

Kalispell, Mont, Aug. 6.-Forest

Coaches Filled With Bodies.

When Division Superintendent Bow
rem reached the scene of the wreck
the missing cars had not been located
and the passengers and train hands
who accompanied him organized
searching parties to follow the course
Of the river. The three cars were
found close to the shore in Foun-
tain creek, Of which Dry creek is a
tributary, and which in turn flows into
the Arkansas river.
Most of the dead were in the cars
buried under the debris. The bodies
of three young women were washed
up on the bank OF the river three
quarters of mile below the scene Of
the wreck. J. NJ. Killen. a Pueblo
hardware merchant, was swept down
stream, but crawled out from the
wreckage mile below the scene of
the accident. He was so badly in
jured and so exhausted from his strug-
gle in the water that he was unable
to talk.
The disaster was the worst that has
ever occurred on the Denver and Rio
Qrande. railroad. Dry creek, where the
accident happened. is one of the most
dangerous points on the road. It is
close to the foothills. which. by reason
Of repeated cloudbursts and washouts,
have been slowly closing in, the bed
Of the creek continually becoming
deeper until it has reached a depth of
about twenty-five feet
Trains Numbers and Is, preceding
No. IL, passed over the bridge and
reached Pueblo safely. The rains had
been severe, but officials did not ap-
prehend any danger at Dry creek, as
Z recent inspection showed that the
bridge was in first class condition..

front of the tideflat acreage purchased
by him for Woodward. When asked
the direct question if the improve
ments contemplated were for terminals
for a railroad, Mr. Manning replied
they were. Asked if it were a transcon-
tinental railroad. he replied he did not
care to make definite statement. but
it was nonsense to suppose that a
branch road or short-lne feeder for
Tacoma would secure such elaborate
terminal grounds. All told, Mr.. Man
ming has purchased ninety-One acres
for Woodward. This strip lies on the
east side of the Puyallup river. where
it crosses the tide flats. Mr.. Manning
has lately been securing options on
tide fiat property adjacent to that al
ready purchased, and, in fact, has re-
fused no options that can be obtained
on property in that vicinity. The plans
for the Improvement provide for the
uleuSIiS u Two large ueep-Ndtef SIPS
which will be approximately 200 feet
wide at the bottom. There will be four
alongside. The Improvements also pro-
vide for the erection of four large ocean
warehouses erected by the Northern
Pacific. The railroads will find egress
from the docks up Hongkong and Yo-
kohama streets and Sitkum avenue.
These parallel the Puyalup river, and
how far the railroads will follow up
the river is not known. At any rate
it will be necessary for the new road
to cross the Northern Pacific at some
point on the Indian reservation unless
it turns abruptly in the direction of
Seattle following the course of the In
terurban. Mr.. Manning has secured
thirty-one year lease for mis- principal
on the 600-foot tract of harbor front
on which the improvements will be
made. The specifications show that
the improvements will be of the most
permanent character. Railroad men
here are not slow in connecting the
announcement of the Tacoma eastern
railroad of its intention to build
through the Mineral Creek, Pleasant
Valley, COWlitz Valley and Big Bot
tom countries in the direction of Cow
Mr.. Manning's intention to begin the
improvements mentioned on the tide
flats. John T. Woodward, the princi-
pal in the tide fiat transactions, is the
president of the Hanover National
bank, of New York. of which William
Rockefeller is a director.

CAPITAL is ASSURED TO BUILD +
LARGE INDEPENDENT PACK
ING HOUSE THERE.
Will Represent An Investment Of Near
Iy One Million DoIIars-EmpIoy-
ment for Packers.

PORTLAND, Ore, Sept. 5.-Result-
ing from the agitation started last
January for the location in Portland
of an Independent packing plant, cap
italists of this city are to be the prin-
cipal stockholders in company that
will soon be incorporated to build and
ing Industries on the Pacific coast. j.
]. Canill, formerly manager of the
Western Packing company, at Denver
another independent plant, has been
here for two months, engaged in pros
ecuting plans for the formation of the
company, which will have capital en-
trely sufficient for all requirements
of the business.
The Portland Commercial club has
had the proposition for formation of
the company under consideration for
some time, and several sessions of the
executive committee of that body have
been devoted to discussion of the pro-
Ject. 1t is understood that the pro-
ject is approved, and that J. c. Aims
worth has been selected by that COM
mttee to confer with interests that
We're were understood to be unfriendly
to the enterprise, to report the exact
situation, and other committees have
been engaged in gathering information
that would enable the club to clearly
comprehend the benefits to be derived
from a packing industry. The direc-
torate of the company will number
some of the strongest financiers of the
northwest when organized and the
success of the project is assured by
their financial connection and cOun-
sci in its direction of the business.
Options are held on ground that will
in all probability, be the site for the
plant. but this is not determined def
nitely, and for that reason no official
announcement can be had either from
Mr.. Cahill or those connected with the
organization, so far as it has pro-
crossed at present. Evidence that
plans are we'll on toward maturity is
had in the fact that Mr. Cahill has
just brought his family from Denver
to take up their residence here. and
John Thomas, architect. who planned
several of the clearinghouse structures
at Kansas City Forth Worth and other
packing centers, has just arrived from
Kansas City to take charge of the ac-
tual work of construction, which, it is
stated, will begin within 80 days.
Mr.. Thomas is said to be thoroughly
conversant with the latest improve
ments in construction of packing
house buildings. having drawn the
plans and supervised the erection of
several that are now regarded as the
best modern plants in operation else
where throughout the country The
Portian1 plant will represent an in
vestment not FIR from $15O.OOO, and
may be more nearly S1.000OOO with
capacity for 600 head of cattle, 500
sheep and 1000 hogs daily.
| Employment will be given to from
900 to 1000 men, and the size and ca
pacity of the plant will be increased
as progress is made, making one of
| the largest payroll institutions of the
| city and of the northwest. The loca-
ton will be where access will be had
to both railroad tracks and the water
| front.
