the families of Leavenworth wreck
victims. Several business men sub
scribed 500 each.
A call was issued for volunteers to

FIFTY KILLED IN
SNONSl|DE
NEAR GLACIER
PASS OVERWHELMS PARTY OF
HUNDRED RAILROAD LABOR
ERS-PASSENGER TRAIN SAFE

Vancouver, B. c., March 5.-A
snowslide occurred early this morn
ing between Rogers Pass station and
Glacier on the Canadian Pacific in
the Rocky mountains. Fifty men
were killed, all the victims being
workmen of the railway company.
More than half were Japanese.
The men were engaged in clearing
a small slide which had come down
early last evening. They were work
ing with rotary engine when a
large slide came down carrying them
to death in the canyon below. At
first it was believed that all of the
hundred men engaged were killed,
but during early morning it was
found that many had escaped and
the death list was placed in the
neighborhood Of fifty.
All passengers trains on the line
are safe, though it will probably be
a day or two before trains can pass
the place where the slide occurred.
Last night was one Of the worst ever
experienced by railroads in the Can
adam rockies. A heavy storm with
rain, sleet and sometimes snow, and
weather conditions altogether at
their worst, made it night long to
be remembered. A long section of
telegraph line was carried away by
the slide.

READY
FIRST TEAM READY OF THE
TWILIGHT LEAGUE - WILL
ANYWHERE.

At the Firemen's meeting last
night a number of unimportant mat
tiers were disposed of, including cleo
ton of officers The firemen quick
ly settled down to important business
and got their ball team plans in def
mite shape. They are now in a po-
sition to play and are only waiting
for the rest of the league to get
ready.
The league finished the season
last year with quite a fund in its
treasury over and above all expenses
1t had been the intention for the de-
feated teams to serve a banquet to
the winners, but the banquet was
postponed and will probably be held
this spring by way of starting the
new season.
The teams in the league were the
Firemen, Real Estate, Tammany
Ellis-Forde, Printers, Icemen and
Eagles. The Firemen were the win.
ners and expect to carry off the
honors again this year. 1t is prob.
able that Chief Throw and Terry
Ross will not play in the team this
year in order to give some of the
youngsters a chance.
The league had popular and
successful season last year and are
expecting that this season will be
the same.

torn off at the shoulder. The body
was not recovered, but search is
being made.

Wellington, March 1.-TWO hun
dred laborers with picks and shovels
went to work today in the snowy
graveyard gorge below the railroad
station. Less than half of the one
hundred or more bodies buried in
the avalanche were recovered when
work stopped last night. Bodies
when found are in sleeping garments
and Identification is difficult unless
outer clothing is near. Railroad
men identified dead comrades by
their faces. So far as known there
is no list of foreign laborers who
were sleeping in the day coaches and
the number is not known. The dead
are being taken down the mountain
side on sleds today.

FOUR HUNDRED DESTITUTE ARE
BEING CLOTHED AND FED-RE-
PORTS OF MANY NARROW ES-
CAPES DURING FLOOD.

Colfax, Wash, March with
400 left destitute by the floods which
swept over the Palouse valley the
last several days, scattering wreck
and ruin in its path, Colfax today
presents a sorry sight as the work
of rescue and caring for the home
less is going on.
Confronted by the facts that the
savings of a lifetime have been de-
stroyed, the residents of the German
settlement, where the flood worked
is greatest havoc, are plunged in
ieep despair and many heartrending
scenes are enacted as the work Of
feeding the nearly famished home
less is in progress.
Reports from the railroad officials
state that the work train on the O..
r. & N. will open up line to Gar
field late this afternoon and will
bring the carload of provisions do
mated by Spokane to the city. The
work of distributing the food will be
begun at once, as the water swept
away considerable of the store sup
plies and left the inhabitants on the
verge of starvation.
Many Narrow Escapes.
While no deaths or serious injuries
were reported, many Of those who
were in the path of the food were
compelled to go several days without
food or dry clothing.
That many did not meet death in
the torrents was miracle. When 1t
became apparent that all the low Sec
tons of the city were doomed, and
many lives were in jeopardy, life
saving squads were organized.
Among the daring works of rescue
was that conducted by George, Ernest
and Tip Hamblin, three brothers.
They procured rowboat and sue
ceeded in saving the lives of four
German section men. George Smick,
Phil Wilhelm, John Gerlitz and Den

citizens of Leavenworth. Most Of
the same crowd turned out again to-
day and it is thought possible that
the road may be opened to the sum-

Last night, after the return to the
city of Ieavenworth, DR.. Hoxsey
served hot dinner to the men.
Sheriff Ferguson is at the front and
is assisting the Leavenworth men and
1t is reported that both hands are
badly blistered.
