MORE SLIDES
OCCUR ON
SUMMIT
NO TRAIN SERVICE ACROSS CAS-
CADES YESTERDAY BUT SER
VICE WAS RESUMED TODAY
TRAINS PRACTICALLY ON TIME

Two or three slides have occurred
between Wellington and Scenic. One
of these carried away a small bridge
about two and a half miles west of
Wellington. The passengers who
were on Saturdays train No. 1 walk
ed into Scenic and took a train that
was turned back at that place.
Oriental Limited Came Back.
Only one train was able to come
through the Cascades and that was
train No. 4, from Seattle to Spokane.
The Oriental Limited was able to go
two miles west of Wellington and
then it had to back into Leavenworth
and it came through Wenatchee at
8 p. m. yesterday, as train No. 2 on
it's way east
The train that was retreating from
the scene of the tragedy of a fort
night before showed signs of having
been in tight places. The sides of
the cars had been scratched by the
entertainments of snow, trees and
rocks that are for miles piled on both
sides of the track twice as high as
the coaches. Several windows on a
number of cars had been broken and
the trainmen expressed a desire to
be saved from other trips through
the angry looking crags and peaks
for one or two weeks.
The train service was resumed
again today, after rest on Sunday.
The trains will arrive today belated
a few hours on account of the con-
dition of the track.
Mr.. Colstone, real estate agent of
Wenatchee, was in town on Monday
last. He is intending to settle in
the valley, probably at Methow, at
-sn early date. He expresses himself
as being very much impressed with
the attention which is being address
ed to the Methow valley from out
side, especially at Wenatchee.-Win-
throp Eagle.

STRIKE STILL HOLDS IN PHILA-
DELPHIA AND LABOR LEAD
ERS URGE SYMPATHIZERS OF
UNION TO WITHDRAW FUNDS
FROM BANKS.

Philadelphia, March 14.-There
is a general interest In the strike
today and conferred in the ability Of
the labors unions to hold the strik-
ing forces together. The reports
show while some did return to work
after weeks of idleness there is no
indication of a general break, but
on the other hand, some unions
which had hesitated about joining
the sympathetic strike in aid of the
trolley men cast their lot today with
the strikers.
Labor leaders have called upon
the workmen to withdraw their de-
posits from the banks throughout
the country, thus to deprive the cap
italis.s, they say, of one weapon with
! which to fight organized labor.

CorbaIey Canyon Washed Out.

The SHOWS on the Big Bend plateau
are rapidly melting and for the past
four or five days torrent has been
running down Corbaley Canyon,
washing the wagon road entirely
away. It is said that it will take
$4,000 to put that road in shape again
for travel. The pipe line which has
led the water from the Corbaley
springs onto a number of ranches at
Orondo for irrigation purposes has
been washed away and most of the
pipe is on the flat below. 1t is un-
derstood that there will be no at
tempt for some time to repair this
road. After the 2Sth of March the
mail for the Waterville country will
be carried by way of the Moses Cou-
lee line. In the meantime the mail
is being taken up the canyon on pack
horses.

APPLEB0Xb|[L
HEARING IS
CLOSED
THE MEASURE DISCRNINATES
AGAINST WASHINGTON INDUS
TRY BY IMPOSING RESTRIC-
TIONS.

Washington, March 1.-THE
hearing on the Lafean apple box bill
was concluded this afternoon but the
committee on agriculture will not be-
able to consider the bill inside Of
two weeks.
Northwestern men who appeared
before the committee feel confident
that the bill will not be reported in
its present form, If at all, for it adj
mittedly discriminates against the
Oregon and Washington apple indus
try by imposing restrictions which
will deprive Northwestern apples Of
those advantages they naturally pos
sess over Eastern grown fruit.
Oregon and Washington men not
only objected to a change in the size
of the box they now use but strenu-
ously objected to standards attempt
ed to be fixed by the bills which rec
ognizes apples two and a half inches
in diameter as the highest grade
proposed to be fixed by the govern
ment inasmuch as a large percentage
of Western aples are three and one
half inches and more in diameter.
They insist that If grades be estab-
lished that superior Western fruit be
urged as a basis and more than three
grades be fixed
1t was shown at the hearing that
packers and commission men who
supported the Lafean bill are trying
to break up the present method of
marketing Oregon and Washington
apples so they can get better hold
on this trade and that disclosure will
tend to impair the chances of the
bill when the committee comes to
consider 1t.
Among those who appeared in OPP
position to the bill today were: L.
H. Titchenal Of Wenatchee Valley
j. A. Wilson of Hood River; w. X.
Newell and J. T. Whistler, represent
ing the Oregon Horticultural Society,
and Representative Hawley, who
made the closing speech for the
Northwestern interests.

OF FORTY-SEVEN
RAILROADS IN SESSION TODAY
TO CONSIDER ULTIMATUM
SUBMITTED BY FIREMEN.

Chicago, March 14.-Probably the
greatest railroad strike will be de-
cided today. Prominent railroad Of
ficsals speaking for the forty-seven
railroads involved in the firemen's
wage controversy declared that there
is no chance for a "walkout" The
railroad managers committee will
meet again today" said an official
and the firemens letter is being
taken into consideration. It is not
likely that the railroads will change
their attitude. If it was a question
of yielding we might consider it, but
to submit the question Of authority
and seniority would be violating our
contract with the Brotherhood OF
Railroad Engineers"
The roads are encouraged to be-
'lieve arbitration will be the ultimate

Ephrata, the county seat of Grant
county, located about SIS miles east
of Wenatchee, was visited by fire
yesterday.
Early Sunday morning devastat-
ing fire broke out in a saloon which
is located on Front street, in the
block opposite the Great Northern
depot in Ephrata. All of the build
ings in this block, on the main bust
ness street, with the exception of
the general merchandise store of 1.
N. McGrath and a building back of
it, were destroyed. The brick walls

FIRST TRAIN OVER
SLIDES
EAST BOUND PASSENGER TRAIN
FROM SEATTLE WAS THE
FIRST TO PASS SCENE OF THE
WELLINGTON HORROR.

The first train to pass through the
scene of disaster In the Cascades was
No. 4, which arrived at Wenatchee
at p. m. Saturday night. The train
stopped at Wellington for a short
time and the train men had an op-
portunity to see what had taken
place there.
The brakeman said that it looked
as though the whole mountain side
had moved. cit was a scene of COM
plete devastation, he continued.
The iron rods of the train were bent
all up just as you would bend light
piece of wire. The wood out of which
the cars were built was in splinters
and portions of the trucks were to
be found here and there. There was
undoubtedly an electric storm"
When asked If there were any new
slides he replied that there had been
several but none of them had been
on or across the track.
While the train waited at Yelling
ton two more bodies were taken out
of the graveyard. One of these was
woman lying just as if she had
been sleeping. Her head had been
protected by the pillows and her face
was not disfigured.
The train carried very few passen-
gers and there were no tourists or
Pullman travellers. The train had
to run carefully at number of
places, but the danger of slides is
decreasing as the snow has settled
a great deal.

Wenatchee Offered Aid.
A message was received by the
Wenatchee fire department yesterday
morning from Ephrata asking for
help. 1t was received at the depot
at about 1870, but for some reason
was not delivered to the department
until $40.
Chief Throw wanted to take his
men to Ephrata at once. but there
was no engine available-not even
a switch engine at that hour.
Chief Throw tried to communicate
with Ephrata by wire but could not
get the operator there until 1880.
He offered to take the department to
Ephrata then, but by that time the
fire was under control. A message
was received from Ephrata thanking
the Wenatchee department for its
proffer of aid.

MUCH COMPLAINT
b ABOUT SERVICE
ON The ELECTRIC

There is great deal of complaint
about the electric car service to Port
land. The trains are run regardless
of schedule, but from 10 to so min
utes late practically all the time. AS
from 30 to so people gather at these
trains to meet friends, they as well
as the travelling public, are robbed of
their time. This time, put together,
would amount every day to a couple
of weeks working timefo r one man.
More than that, the public is robbed
of more time by trains not going out
on schedule time. If the trains can
not be operat I'd on the schedule. it
should be changed, and time extended
until the trains can run on schedule.
1t is not only an inconvenience, but a
danger, as trains running so far from
the schedule, and running on cor
ders" all the time, are certain some
time to be the victim of orders mis-
understood. The electric is doing
practically all the passenger business
to Portland, and should make some
effort to accommodate the public An
other thing of which there is COM
plant is the lack of cars. They are
crowded all the time, and, before
reaching Portland, there is scarcely
standing room. The company should
do gracefully and cheerfully what
otherwise it will be compelled to do,
what is it's duty.
