BAKERSFIELD April 5.-Shortly
after the blockaded track at tunnel No.

cleared last night another large land
slide occurred and it will be twenty
four hours more at the earliest before
the Southern Pacific officials can hope
to have the line cleared. The formation

operation. and with the aid of a large
force of men every possible effort is
being made to clear the blockade. The
strain to which the tunnel has been
subjected during the past week is said
to have weakened the beams in the
structure, and the rumorS that were
started a few days ago to the effect
that the tunnel was to he DESTROYED
now seem To bear evidence Of truth.
The track was opened for short time
last night before the last Slide occurred,
but not long enough To allow any
traffic. The Southern Pacific is running
its trains to the blocked section and

Freight traffic is still at a standstill
and it is impossible to say when il

two trains stalled at the landslide ever

night two more trains were sent up the

Some are clearly the outgrowth of

are therefore deserving Of attention.

Very curious are the nests of the sun
bird, scarcely larger than a butterfly.
It chooses some exposed spot, probably
close to the public road, and proceeds
to build on an overhanging twig. The
finishing touches being put to the small
abode, it is left, according to one au-
thority, severely alone until spiders
have woven their webs over and around
1t. Another naturalist says that the
birds themselves turn ragmen and, col

disreputable object. Then. and not till

porch which has been constructed over
the nest, shielding her from sun and
