Armed posses are seeking the two

midnight passenger train four miles
from Divide shortly after midnight

The robbers stopped the train by
placing a boulder on the track and
then tagged 1t. One stepped aboard
the engine and covered Stewart, who

a special consignment of several
thousand dollars. They ordered the
express messenger to open the door
meanwhile firing shots to keep the
passengers and crew in the cars
Backham lodged under the car and
the bandit guarding them shot at
him, whereupon Stewart picked up
rock and crushed the robbers skull.
As the bandit fell Stewart secured
his revolver and began shooting at
the other bandits. A duel then COM

ing under him are rendering a SER
vice to the country which can only
be paralleled in our past history by
some of the services rendered in
certain wars.
Six years ago last spring the Am
erican government took possession OF
the Isthmus. The first two years
were devoted to the sanitation of the
lsthmus, to assembling the plant and
working force, and providing quar-
ters. food and water supplies In all
these points the success was extra
ordinary. From one OF the plague
spots of the globe, one of the most
unhealthy regions in the entire world
the Isthmus has been turned into a
singularly healthy place of abode,
where the death-rate is small, and
where hundreds of children are now
being raised under as favorable con-
ditions as in most parts of the United
States. The quarters. food, and water
the best ever gathered for such a pur-
pose. Active excavation on a large
scale did not begin until January,
1907. Three years and a half have
gone by since then, and three-fifths
of the total excavation has already
been accomplished. The amount
taken out has passed anything which
previous experience warranted US in
believing TO be possible. In 1908
and 1909 the monthly average of
rock and earth removed was three
million cubic yards, Notwithstanding
the fact that nine months of each
year constituted a season of very
heavy rainfall. There remains to be
excavated only about sixty million
cubic yards. II we could keep up

should be done in twenty months;
but II is impossible to maintain such
a ratio as the depth increases; for
the output necessarily diminishes as
the field of operation narrows Still,
II is certain that such a rate can be
maintained as will enable the work
ers to finish the excavation consider
ably In advance of the date fixed for
opening the canal. January l, 1915.
Indeed, I shall be surprised If the
canal cannot be opened six months
or even a year in advance of the time

Passengers are Taken Off Without

Seattle, Sept. 2.-The steamer Wat

fog off Waddah island in the straits
of Juan De Fuca near Cape Flattery.
Ninety two passengers were taken off
in boats without any undue excite
ment and were landed on the island
where they will be picked up by the
sister ship Buckman, due from San
Francisco. None were injured. Wire
less reports lead to the belief that the
steamer is seriously damaged. The
cutter Snohomish and several tugs
went to the relief of the steamer this
morning and it is hoped to pull the
steamer into deep water at high tide.
The wireless this afternoon said
that tht steamer would go to pieces if
lighters did not soon arrive TO take off
her cargo.

TWO BARNS BURN
At EARLY HOUR
MYSTERIOUS FIRE REDUCES
BUILDINGS TO ASHES
John Crow and Byers Barns Consum-
cd by Flames This Morning-Loss
Between $4,000 and S25OO.

a fire of mysterious origin, possibly
incendary, destroyed two barns on
River street in East Pendleton be-
tween and 5 o'clock this morning.
The loss was about $4,000 or s25OO,
partly covered by insurance. The de-
struction was complete, nothing be-
ing left but a heap of smouldering
embers and partly burned timbers.
The first barn to burn was owned
by John Crow and was located in the
rear of his city home on East Court
street, which is now occupied by the
family of II. j. Taylor. The barn had
been leased to DR.. w. X. Campbell,
who was in from his farm last night.
When he put up his team in the eve
ming he tied the animals in the barn
as usual. When the fire was dis
covered this morning, the barn was
almost burned down and the horses
were tied outside, giving the impress
sion that someone had led the horses
out, then set fire to the barn.
Before being discovered the fire had
been burning SO long that cinders had
blown across the street, through the

sounded the Crow barn was nearly in
ashes and the Byers barn was envel-
oped in flames. Fortunately Byers
had turned his driving horse out to
pasture a few days ago.
Byers carries $525 insurance on his
barn and contents with John Bentley,
but this will not cover tn loss The
Crow barn was the more valuable one
of the two and the owner has not yet
oeen able to ascertain whether or not
the date of his insurance policy had
expired.

might be dropped into them and tear
out the engines and furnaces, and
with sky-pointing guns manned by
gunners trained to wing" the fly

which their pilots can drop bombs
