TRAGIC INSTANCES WRALLROADS' BATTLE
WITH SNOW IN THE NOR7HWEST HILLS

Wind blew hard nearly all the
winter of 1890, and members of the
"old school" declare that the snow
was drifted 20 and 25 feet deep
sometimes down around Almira and
the country this side, before the
trains could reach the end of the
line, turn around and come back.
"They paid as high as 81 an hour
for shoveling snow down there by
Reardan in the early nineties," said
Conductor Huxtable in discussing
the snow problem with some of his
old companions at the Buffalo cigar
store the other night. 81 was with
one crew going in from this side
with snow pillow. and another crew
on the west side was trying to cut
through the snow to get back to
Spokane. Well, they got plumb

leave the engine and walk back
around to get assistance.
SAY HEAVY TRAINS CAUSE
AVALANCHES.
Some of the old railroad men say
they believe that many of the
slides of today, that seem to be
worse and bigger than those of a
few years ago, may be attributed to
the heavier trains the roads are
hauling over the hills, and the
larger and much heavier engines
that are being used. They say they
believe the vibration of the earth
about the tracks, caused by the
heavy loads and pounding of the
big compound engines, cause the
snow and rock to loosen more read
lily, and thus cause greater and

MINISTER SAYS ADAM
may HAVE HAD 4
BROTHERS

ST. LOUIS, March 5.-That the
negro did not get his color from
Ham, and that he Is not even a
member of the race OF Ham, but
a descendant Of the four or; five
brothers Adam must have had, Is
the belief Of the Rev. DIR. Edwin II.
Richards, for 30 years a missionary
in Uganda, Africa.
"The negro never, came from
Ham. You can't get q black man
from a white one. either by time or
conditions" said DIR. Richards.
1.-THE black man Is co-Adaniic with
Adam. Adam probably had about
four brothers the Bible doesn't
mention, and 1t was from one OF
these brothers that the negro must
have descended"

ONCE DAY LABORER,
NOW A MILLIONAIRE

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, March g.
George Y. Nicholson has had re-
markable business career. Ten
years ago he was day laborer at
lola, Kan. He Is now rated to be
worth $4,000,000, and besides car
ries life insurance amounting to
100000.
Nicholson recently started a
movement to merge the cement in
terests of four states. While the
merger has not been completed, he
is said to have matters so well in
hand that his object will soon be
attained. When Florence B. Nichol-
son, his wife, died several years
ago, Nicholson's grief was so great
that his heath for a time was i'm
paired and his condition became
dangerous. He was taken to Flor
ida, and his condition for many
months alarmed his friends. But he
seems to have recovered fully now.

the dangers and loneliness became
a part of their lives, but the world
seldom heard of it.
Only few members of that old
crowd still linger to tell of the tor
turous fight with the. winter ele
ments and of the fate of luckless
comrades. Will Smith is one of
them. He was in charge of one of
the snow bucking crews which
worked up and down the switch
back about Wellington and Scenic,
over the very spot in which the
two Great Northern trains were
buried with all on board the other
day. Smith is division superintend-
ent up at Kalispell, Mont, now. He
has gained position in reward for
services rendered.

it is said that the two demolished

practically unprotected by these.
Such great tragedies as these will

thought, in an effort to bring future
risk in the mountain lines, to their

CHICAGO, March 5.-Wheat

their treatment in such cratic
fashion somewhat obscure, but mix

fit it was likely to receive by a
continuation of such weather as has
prevailed the last few days. At the

There was more than the usual
irregularity in the action OF the
market, strength following quickly
on preliminary short spell of
weakness, and the first condition
returning with added resistance
when the wheat market became so
very weak near the end.
Shorts in oats had a desire to

down. into the isolated canyon,
snuffing out more than hundred
lives, and, with high and almost
impossible banks of snow barring
back men who would rescue the
few survivors, is perhaps the worst,
the most terrible of all; yet, it is
but another chapter in the tragic
history Of the mountain roads
which seems almost to have been
written in the blood of their VIC
Tins.
1t Is but another incident in the
long terrible story of mems battles
against the elements. 1t seems
more awful only because more of
the world has heard of it, more of
the worlds loved ones We're sacri-

There were always slides up there
In the mountains. Crews of brave
men battle whole bitter winters

might not be lost in the yawning
canyons whose seeming hunger for
human blood was once again salts

MEN KILLED IN CANYON
NEVER FOUND.

Men have been swept from their
work on the. right of way down the
mountain side and buried so deep
in the debris and snow that their
bodies-not even their bones
haven't been found to this day. The
canyon in which these hundred or
so lives were lost, was veritable
graveyard long ago. But it was
the graveyard of unpretentious
railroad men, who labor on for
mere existence. who wink at death
for the sake of hungry families,
hence the world never knew.
IN DAYS BEFORE ADVENT
OF Pillow.
Conductor Kennedy, still on the
Northern Pacific, is another of Spo-
kane's heroes of the road who has
often faced the dangers in the hills
and has yet been spared the fate
that generally comes soon or late.
He is reluctant in relating the
most narrowing experiences, which
friends credit to him, but tells of
the days before the advent of the
rotary, or even the pilot pillow. He
ran over the road through the
Rockies years ago when snowslides
were removed from the tracks only
by men with shovels, and when a
small slide generally meant a
blockade for days.
There were some hard old times
on the level roads through central
and eastern Washington for some

OF this bunch there still remains

SNOW BLOCKADE IN CENTRAL
WASHINGTON.
In the early nineties the SHOWS
through the Central Washington
branch of the Northern Pacific
were perhaps the worst and most
stubborn in the history of the line
This was when superintendent
Ramsey had charge. Four and five
engines were stalled at time in
the deep cuts through the sand hills
and two or three more could not
have pushed the pillow through the

prices gave evidence of responding
only to bull influence.
The Pennsylvania railroad state
ment and the showing of earnings
of Canadian Pacific, Union Pacific,
Southern Pacific and other impor-
tant railroad systems induced ag-
gressive buying, not only of those
stocks, but of nearly everything in
the railroad list. A better tone to
the trade reports, especially those
of the steel and copper industries
was also an incentive for agrees
sive operations on the bull side,
and was reflected in the establish
ment of higher market values for
all the leading industrials.

TRACK BELOW. -,

SLIDE CARRIED ROTARY TO
TRACK BELOW.
Among the stories related by
some of the few who are acquainted
with these thrilling times, is that
of a slide that rushed down the
mountain at Windy Point, near
Windy Arm. The thunder of the
grinding rocks, creaking of ice and
snow, mingling with the crackle of
breaking mountain pines, gave the
crew time to flee to places of
safety, but the edge of the slide
caught the rotary pillow and swept it
from the tracks. Eight hundred
feet below, where the switchback
made it's first lap across the noun
tain side. the big machine lodged
right beside the tracks, and it was
with comparatively little difficulty
that the snow bucking crew put it
back on the tracks and within a
few hours had it to work again.
One night some unfortunate
stranger was struck by a small
slide and hurled down the precipi
tous walls of the canyon to lower
lap of the switchback The next
day the rotary was driven against
him. as he stood upright, but dead
in the icy bank. He was so terribly
mangled that he could never be

There could not be a more striking
illustration Of Col Roosoyclt's capacity
for error than is to be found in his at
TACK upon the Supreme Court of the
United States at Denver on Monday.
His criticism indicated a total misap-
prchension of the constitutional doct-
rine which empowers the highest trib-
unal in the land TO annul legislative
enactments under certain circumstan.
ces and declare statutes to be void and
Of no effect

In an orderly system OF government
| it is necessary to establish some author
| ity which shall ascertain and decide
whether the peoples will as expressed
in the Constitution has been obeyed OF
not whenever any such question may
arise. The authority is vested in the
Supreme Court of the United States.
When the constitutionality OF legis-
lative enactment is attacked, the
Judges of the Supreme Court are
obliged to construe and interpret 1t
in the light of the Constitution and
uphold or condemn it accordingly.
They often differ among themselves on
constitutional questions; and we are
very far from denying the liberty OF
the citizen to criticise their decisions.
The only legitimate basis for such
criticism, however, is the contention
that the Supreme Court has construed
the Constitution enormously; in other
words, that a correct legal interpreta-
ton of that Instrument would have led
to different conclusion. 1t is not n
valid reason for condemning decision
of the Supreme Court to say that 1t Is
sin direct contradiction to the spirit and
needs of the time" The spirit and
needs of the time have nothing what
ever to do with the judgments OF the
courts. When such standards of decis-
ion are adopted by our judicial tribunals,
constitutional government in this coun-
try will have come to an end.
