Glenogle, B. c., March Sit is re-
ported here today that two trains with
their crews, engaged with rotary
plows in clearing the snowslide in the
Rogers Pass, on the Canadian Pacific
railroad, have been buried by sec
ond avalanche of terrific force and
size. There is no means at this time
in getting in direct communication
with the scene of the reported dis
aster, but it is reported that more
than fifty men were working with the
plows and in clearing the snow from
the railroad. 1t is possible that the
men have been merely hemmed in and
cut off from immediate communica-
ton, but the report seems well found
ed that they have been swept away.
Rogers Pass is almost at the north
ernmost point of the Canadian Pa
cific road, and is at a high altitude.
