SPLENDID entertainment
BY SCHOOL CHILDREN

The entertainment given by the
Civic Club, at the Auditorium. last
evening was we'll attended The pro-
gram was under the direction of Mrs.
Fl. W. C. Shelton and she spared no
pains to make it q success and should
be given much credit for her untiring
efforts. The scenes were from Amer.
lean history and extended from the
landing Of Columbus to the days Of
Washington.
The program was too varied to ad-
NIT of mention of all, but Arthur Per-
shing and Miss Rose Gill as George
and Martha Washington were espe-
cially clever and in their colonial cos
tunes made very pleasing picture.
Some very realistic scenes from In
dian life were given and were very
much enjoyed Another feature which
added much to the program was the
piano selections by Miss Pearl Hayes,
of Muskogee.

TRAINS BURIED

Most Terrible Condition in West ir
History of Trans-continentaI
Railroads.

everett, Wash, Mar. 2.-It is feared
fifty lives were lost in an avalanche
that carried two Great Northern trains
into a canyon, near Wellington, yes
terday. The cars fell hundred and
fifty feet and were buried by the
debris. The town of Wellington and
the Great Northern power house were
not destroyed.
Seldom in the history of the trans
continental railroads, mas the Pacific
slope been cut off from the rest of
the continent as 1t is today. OF the
several transcontinentaI lines having
terminals on this coast only the most
southern roads are open.
Superintendent o'NeilI, of the Great
Northern, who is directing the relief
work in the mountains, telegraphs
that sixty lives were lost in yester-
days avalanche.
AS the further details of the dis
aster that overwhelmed the two great
Northern passenger trains, when the
avalanche swept the trains and a r5r-
tion of the town of Wellington down
down the mountain side, are received,
the horrors grow. Twenty-three lives
are known to have been lost, when a
mass of snow, loose stones and up
rooted trees hurled the cars over the
narrow ledge down to the bottom of
the cane n, two hundred feet below.
When the last report was received
from the scene twenty-five more we're
missing. The avalanche rolled down
the mountain side this morning and
two trains, three locomotives, four
powerful electric motors, depot and
water tank were swept away and de-
posted in d twisted mass of wreck
age at the foot of the mountain.
Groans and cries for help, coming
from the heap of debris, indicated
that many are imprisoned in the
wreckage, still alive. Rescuers work
ed with feverish heat to rescue them.
The first news of the disaster was
brought by John WentzeI, of WeIing-
ton: "AII wiped out" he cried. There
is nothing but smooth snow, where
the tracks Stood"
Relief trains, carrying physicians,
nurses and workers, were dispatched
from Everett, bearing provisions to
last five hundred persons ten days.
