reports, the decline in the price OF
cotton is owing to the reaction after
the terrific fight of the bulls and the
bears over the fillirfx of August con-
tracts. And the spinners are taking
advantage of this abnormal condition
by combining to still further bear the
market for spots. The supply of cot
cotton this year is at least 1000. 900
bales less than the demand, and it is
certain as anything can be that there
will be no cheap cotton for the next
two years. Farmers who are prepared
to hold will be wise to abide their

STATION ON PUGET SOUND,
PROVE FATAL.
BODIES ARE BURIED DEEP
First Avalanche Takes Life Of Clifford
Nelson, a Station Man, and Second
Strikes Shack Of Prospectors, Carry.
ing Everything to Bottom Of Ravine,
Killing Three.

Four killed, one injured. and two
still buried under tons of snow is the
record of the little siding of Adair

soula on the Puget Sound and four
miles west of the Bitter Root noun
tains Two slides happened there yes
tcrday. each causing loss of life and
tying up the railroad effectualy.
The first accident took place In the
morning. just west Of Adair siding.
Four station men, in the employ of
the engineering department Of the Pu-
get Sound. We're engaged In digging
trench under bridge No. I. The
men were not given much warning,
as the snow was wet and the fine
spray which usually precedes large
slide was absent All four men were
shaken up badly, but all escaped, with
the exception OF Clifford Nelson who
was caught by the slide and whose
lifcless body was recovered later.
The second slide happened right at
Adair siding and was extraordinarily
large. Adair siding is situated in a
along the bottom. On the side Of this
ravinc prospectors shack was 10.
Gated. The shack was occupied by
Mr.. and Mrs. Spohr and three other
prospectors. whose claims were up the
raylnc. The section foreman who was
boarding with the Spohr family, had
Just come into the cabin for dinner,
when the accident happened. The
rumble warned them OF the approach
ing GNnger and a rush for the door
ensucl. The three that escaped death
were carried up on the top of the slide
and were only badly Jared. One was
buried In the creek at the bottom of
the ravlne and drowned before ne
could be rescued. The section foreman
escaped practically uninjured, but OF
the four recovered, one was dead
when reached and Spohr died soon
after being rescued. Spohr's wife Is
still In the snow and no hopes of her
survival are entertained. The shack
was carried to the bottom of the ra-
vine and broken into small pieces.
Conditions at the point of accident
were particularly favorable for a slide
as the timber had been burned off
the mountain and the ground was
practically bare. The track IL about
10 or ~ feet above the bottom OF the
ravine and the depth of the snow has
been estimated as 40 feet above the
track. making the total depth in the
noighborhood of so deep. AS soon as
word OF the wreck was received go
men were rushed to the scene of the
disaster and began the work OF res.
cue. One body and three persons were
recovered In short time. Spohr one
OF the three reached, died soon after
being dug out. The other two prob.
ably will survive. The accident has
completely blocked the track and NJ
