Lives 16 Hours Buried Under % Feet Of
Snow
A party Of railroad surveyors were
overwhelmed Thursday afternoon in a
snow slide which occurred in the Cas-
cade range few miles north Of Rock
port, Skagit county. While every
member of the party was covered deep
in the snow all but one, John Watkins,
chairman, escaped.
The avalanche came Unexpectedly
and with rush that carried everything
before it. Trees, brush, rocks and
snow were carried down together and
formed solid mass in the valley where
the surveyors camp was located.
The surveyors, who were working
near the camp, heard the avalanche
coming down the mountain side. They
tried to escape. The slide was so ex-
tensive, however, and came down the
mountain with such speed, that they
were unable to escape.
Watkins was buried beneath the mass
of ice and snow, and the IS men in

Visitors to the exposition, which
opens at Seattle on June /, and closes
October 10, will be able to dine to
their satisfaction at the city's leading
cafes and restaurants at normal prices.
To leave no doubt as TO the working
out of this commendable spirit on the
part of Seattle's caterers, they recently
met and voted as body an agreement
binding all restaurant, cafe, grill and
hotel men to maintain the present
prices throughout the exposition time,
and no member of the organization to
which the caterers belong will be
allowed to take advantage of the OPP
portunity to reap additional profits, as
has been done despite protests, in pre-
vious exposition cities. The action
was taken after I. A. Nadeau, director
general of the A.-Y.-P., had addressed
the assembled restaurant men, showing
them how the increased crowds that
would follow reasonable charges would
not only add to the credit of the city
and the success OF the exposition, but
would mean increase in business. To
the hired help must be given much OF
the credit for the continuance Of low
prices. Walters, cooks and helpers OF
all kinds have entered into an agree
ment that the present scale of wages
shall not be tempered with during the
fair.

The Seattle Chamber of Commerce
has given its endorsement to the Dry
Farming Congress, which meets at
Billings, Montana, next October, and
urges that the state of Washington send
farmers and business men as delegates
to the congress, and that dry farming
communities in this state participate in
the display of products that will be
made at Billings. The object of the
congress is to study methods which
will result in the settlement and cult
walton Of thousands Of acres which cannot
be irrigated. The success Of this
work will mean a great stride in the
development of the Western states, and
Washington is as much interested as
any other commonwealth. The Seattle
Chamber of Commerce has volunteered
to assist in interesting other organiza-
tons in the state in the importance Of
the gathering at Billings next fall.

two to one the convention gave the
members of the executive board the
right to vote proxies in spite of the
protest led by j. G.. Hutchinson, an

Again the Meyer supporters scored in
preventing the immediate considera-
ton of the presidents annual report,
in which that official bitterly de-

Meyer also referred sarcasticaly to
Samuel Gompers failure in the last
national campaign to lead the labor
votes in a solid plalanx to the polls
under the banner of a party dominated
by corporate greed" Charges of a
serious nature continue to be made
against delegates to the present con-
vention. This afternoon John A.

cused of being an embezzler of moneys

submitted proposals for the surrender
of the Cossacks, that tho Cossacks
should be allowed to continue service

crowded every hotel in Missoula,

however, in spite Of the size Of the

reproduced in every hostelry in Mis-

was overrun with business last night,
and the Missoula hotel had every
room occupied and costs in all avail
able places. The Windsor, the Shapard,

There We're many women in the

they had come just as far to regist2
