Killed in Slide tuesday Morning

Fred Johnson, a Great Northern
track walker, about So years of age,
occupying a box car on sidetrack at
Drury, six miles west of this place, was
crushed to death Tuesday morning
about 8 o'clock by a slide striking the
car. The body was recovered shortly
after and wrapped in blanket and
buried in the snow near the scene Of
the accident, it being impossible to
bring the body to this place on ac-
count OF the conditions prevailing in
the canyon. After the snow disap-
pears the body will be properly in
tered. Johnson was quite well known
here, having worked in Adams &
Cars logging camp last summer.
Nothing OF the mans relatives can be

FACING HUNGER AND COLD
Great Northern Trains Showed in for a
Week Provisions Exhausted and
Threatened by SnOwslides

A three days bombardment of snow
followed by as many days of incessant
rain in western Washington, together
with weeks of continuous and severe
storms in the Cascades, have tied
up the Northern Pacific and the Great
Northern, especially the latter, in a
more complete and disastrous manner,
than has ever been chronicled in the
past history of either road. The stu
alton the first OF this week had reached
climax menacing to human life thro
starvation and death in treacherous
slides.
Nearly two hundred passengers be-
sides numerous train crews are snow
bound in the Cascades, with washouts
and snowslides in front OF them and
behind of them, are suffering from cold
and hunger. The two big railroads
are utterly paralyzed and their branch
lines are not much better off. The
chief efforts OF the roads have this week
been directed to frantic and at times
almost hopeless struggle to save the
imprisoned passengers from hunger and
death.
Since the middle of last week three
Great Northern passenger trains have
been hemmed in by swirling billiards
and threatening snowlides just west of
the summit and the two little towns of
Scenic and Wellington, also hermeti-
cally sealed up from the rest OF the
world, have been depleted Of provisions
to feed the imprisoned passengers, and
now all face common fate of hunger
and cold unless succor reaches them at
once. Pitiful appeals have been sent
out for assistance of the women and
children on the stalled trains.
The mountain streams on the west
are swollen to the danger point and
continuing rain on Tuesday gave no
hope of immediate relief. So terrible
and frequent were the slides that the
passengers begged that the trains be
run back into the tunnel for safety.
Saturday the food on one Great
Northern dining car and in the little
company shack at Wellington began to
show signs Of giving out and the pas
sengers were reduced to two meals a
day. Fresh meat disappeared; there
was no milk, cream, butter or eggs,
and breakfast consisted OF boiled pota-
toes and bacon. Steadily the situation
grew worse until the passengers faced
actual starvation.
Division Superintendent O'Neill and
a party of volunteers have been trying
for several days to get food supplies
into the trains. Rescue gangs were
organized to break trails and pack sup
plies.
1t has been impossible to send in
aid from Leavenworth, for from the
mouth Of Tumwater canyon at the edge
OF town clear through to the tunnel,
about 40 miles, the track is buried un-
der practically one solid slide.
Snowslides acres in extent, carrying
huge boulders and big trees, have de-
seconded by the hundred and the can
yons through which the road runs, are
heaped high in an apparently inextric-
able mass. 1t is believe that traffic
cannot be resumed until the end OF
next week, if then.

Since the Portland union stockyards
opened for business last September
2189 cars of livestock have been hauled
there, representing an approximate val
uation of $4,000, 900, according to
Manager D. o. Lively. The market
thus established has been of great
value, not only to this city but to the
livestock growers Of the whole North
west. Competition offered for livestock
that has come with the establishment
of big market here has resulted in
better prices and quicker sales than
formerly.
The hog is king in the Portland
markets, with prices lowering around
the $40 mark, live weight, per 100
pounds. This is the highest price
known to livestock men and packers
now in business here, altho old-time
butchers probably remember higher
prices that obtained during civil wal
times. In the mutton market the
same conditions have prevailed. Bes,
quality lambs brought SITS during
the week and wethers OF the best
grade sold at $3.50. The prices are
due to short supply turnout the North
west, and dealers say there is every in
dication that high prices will continue
for long time.

FRIGHTFUL DISASTER


Three large rotary snow plows are
usually stationed at Wellington. One
of these is entirely lost sight of and is
supposed to be covered up in hun
dreds of feet of snow. The other two,
each accompanied by an engine, had
not been located. The rotary pillow
that was sent in here from Montana
and left here Monday, cleared the
track as far as Chiwaukum by Q o'clock
Tuesday morning, but the snow and
rain of Monday night caused slides to
follow in its wake, so that now there are
miles of slides between Leavenworth
and Chiwaukum, some OF them more
than fifty feet deep. 1t is reported,
too, that this pillow is disabled by the
breaking Of one piston, and practically
out of commission.
Those not familiar with the condi-
tons of railroading in the mountains
can have no adequate idea of the diff
culties to be overcome before the road
can again be opened thru to Seattle. 1t
is not improbable that it will require
two weeks to clear the track of all OBJ
structions.
Besides the four electric motors COW
cred up in the Wellington slide are two
passenger trains and four large en-
gines, the depot, water tank and coal
sheds.

This snowslide, which will be known
as the most terrible and disastrous in
the entire history of American railroad
ing, started Immediately above the little
railroad settlement of Wellington, com
posed OF perhaps a dozen dwellings,
railroad boarding house, small hotel,
coal chutes, depot, water tank and mo-
tor shed. The slide apparently started
from the top Of the mountain over
hanging the town, and was almost a
mile in width.
Most of the couple of hundred hui
man beings in the stalled trains and
little village were sleeping in fancied
security when the slide started at a.
m. Tuesday and scores were undoubt-
eddy mercifully swept into eternity un-
conscious of the change. Reports are
that Wellington has been entirely
obliterated.
Following is the official report Of the
accident, as sent out by the Great
Northern yesterday morning:
Motor shed and four motors carried
away, also coal chutes, water tanks and
Superintendent O'Neilps car, killing
Trainmaster Blackburn, O'Neill's stem
ographer and cook.
Division Superintendent O'Neill is
reported among the missing and sup
posed to be killed.

WHEN JOE LIGON RESIGNED.
The Unique Report of u Confederate
C0mmisionary OF LaurenS County.

Qrom Trotwoods Magazine
Towards the close of the war the
patriots of the South were called on
to pay a tax in kind or tenth of all
the land had yielded This was one
way of feeding famished army
These were collected at and dispensed
from designated points in each county.
At little railroad station i'm Lau-
rens county, Capt Davis had detailed
a trusted friend, Joe Lyon, to act as
receiving and disbursing officer For
NAL orders from the proper authori-
ties were required to secure the pro-
visions but always of kindly nature.
Joe Ligon could never refuse a ragged
hungry fellow soldier, order or no
order. These were passing daily. so
his scanty hoard was soon gone.
AS the time for rendering his report
of store on hand drew near he real
ized that by ever so charitable con
struction his stewardship could not
fail to fall in the class "unproftable"
so he took time by the forelock and
