East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1910-03-02

Everett, Wash, March Twenty
three bodies recovered. twenty-five
still missing and twenty injured is the
summary of today's casualties in the
snowslide that swept two Great
Northern passenger trains down the
mountalnside at Wellington early yes
terday Two trains, three engines,
four electric motors, one rotary and
Superintendent O'Neill's private car
were hurled to the bottom of the deep
canyon at the west portal Of tun-
mel. Though the slide occurred at 4
in the morning 1t was 1880 before the
passenger train could be located, so
enormous was the volume of snow and
debris. Everything was completely
buried.
Reports that Wellington also was
swept away by the Slide are erroneous.
The two principal buildings in the
village, the depot and hotel, are stand
ing and no damage was done to them.
Trains were all standing on the side
tracks a few hundred yards from the
station.
News from the scene of the catas-
trophe Is coming in slowly owing to
the blockaded condition of the tracks
and the prostration of telegraph wires.
Passengers Feared Slide.
John S Rogers, a real estate man,
who with nine others struggled
through the drifts from the stalled
train, told the following story today:
"By the time we reached the noun
tain the train had about seventy pas
sengers aboard. Early Wednesday
morning we were stopped at the east
portal Of the Cascade tunnel and stay
ed there until Friday. On Friday
night we left the east portal and a
few hours later an avalanche wiped
out the bunkhouse, killing two men.
We pulled through the tunnel as far
as Wellington. Sunday we noticed on
top of an old switchback far above
us an enormous cap of snow hanging
precariously on the side and clinging
to sparse timber On the same day I
saw a slide coming down on the east
side of the hotel, carrying timber
with II in a great avalanche of snow.
That night there was another slide
which filled the fifty-foot gullies. We
began to fear for the safety of the
train. The menace of that immense
snowcap was pail on our spirits. 1t
was the most enormous accumulation
of snow ever known in the mountains.
During all of the time we were there
It showed continuously with terrific
winds driving drifts"

The entire northwest is floodswept
according to reports being received
from every section of the states of
Oregon, Washington and Idaho. APP
parently Oregon is suffering the least
of the three states but conditions in
this state are hourly growing more
serious. Telegraph and telephone as
well as railway lines are badly Grip
pied in all directions and from pres
ent indications no permanent relief
can be expected for many hours APP
parently not satisfied with doing dam

many hundreds of thousands of dol
lars the floods are also claiming hu-
man lives as toll.
So far the Umatilla river has been
on its good behavior but the water
has now reached a flood stage and is
still rising rapidly. A continuance of
the present warm wind and rains will
probably bring the water to a stage
rivaling the great high water mark of
four years ago, when the lower end of
the levee was washed away and many
families were compelled to move to
higher ground. There is not the slight
est danger of a repetition of this dis
aster, however, for the levee is now
in a condition to successfully ward off
from the city all the water that can
possibly come down the stream.
The ranchers in the lowlands are
not so fortunate. however, for many

and the river is half a mile in width
in many places. The line of the o. r.
& N. from the town of Umatilla to the
top of the mountain is still intact, but
it is threatened in scores of places
and is being watched carefully to pre-
vent disasters. The higher the water
comes the more danger the road will
be in at the threatened points.
Traffic Demoralized.
The west end of the line is badly
out of working order and traffic is al
so shut off east of Huntington. The
only train to arrive yesterday from
the east was stub made up at Hunt
ington and containing one coach, one
baggage car and one mail car. An
other similar train passed through
this morning. Trains No. and s

10 from the west did not arrive to-
day until afternoon and all trains
from the east are annulled. The Wash
ington division trains are being op-
Grated as far north as Walla walla
only.
The Northern Pacific is operating
trains to Pasco and from Pasco to
Walla Walla and Spokane, but its 9TH
er lines are blockaded.
Two Men Drowned.
Report comes from Walla Walla
that Elder Wodrell and Maurice o.
Brien of Tekoa were drowned in a
swollen stream at Oakesdale, Wash.
at noon yesterday. with two compan-
ions, L. D. Schwartz and L. F. De
Grote, they were driving home and
were warned not to attempt to cross
a bridge over which water was run

changed their minds, and in turning
their rig they were swept into the

saved by persons on the bank.

Why Not Be Fair to Gamer
 on?

The esteemed and able Kelly"
 papers, published at Tucson. Bis
 bee and Douglas, continue to de- vote a large proportion of their editorial space to jeers and taunts at Delegate Cameron-all because no statehood bill has yet
 been passed. The readers of these papers are constantly re- minded that MT. Cameron, in his campaign for election pro-
 missed statehood at the following session as a result of lis election. and a great deal of editorial sat isfaction with the failure of state hood to undertake either at that session or afterward is implied.
 Is this really all the democratic press can say against Cameron? If it is, we'are free to say that they will find the voters very little inclined to listen to such stuff in the coming campaign even granting that the statehood bill fall at this session. And if the bill does pass, as we stili think probable, what becomes of these bales of partisan knocking?
 The tactical mistakes of the democratic press do not really concern us, of course, but it occurs to us that the most ordin- ary judgment would lead the Kelly papers tc be fair to Dele gate Cameron-unfairness always reacts upon the party responsible for it. Not ever Mir. Cameron worst enemies would deny, we presume, that he has worked earnestly and loyalty and con- for the admission of Ari- zona, and if he fails no blame can attach tolhim.
 During all the years that De- legate Mark Smith was working earnestly and loyally and con- for the admission of the territory, he had no occasion to complain of unfair treatment | used against him in campaigns was that he was handicapped l and practically helpless in a re- publican house and that better results could be gained through | electing a republican as delegate.
 And why reproach Cameron for making promises in the ex- tolerance of his campaign talks when Smith made the same pro- mises over and over again -in-six campaigns, to be exact? If Cam l eron shot his arrow wide of the mark, is Smith to be condemned six times as much?
