Battle With SnOW Is SIOW

tendent E. L. Brown. From reports
received by the local Office and by the
Associated Press it is expected that
the road from the summit westward
will be opened by tomorrow night.
Hopes are entertained that trains will
be able to get through on this side
but serious obstacles are being en-
countered. A large force Of laborers
were sent through this morning.
equipped with axes, and 1t is the in
tention to attack the trees which lit
ter the tracks and were sent down in
the huge slides. The rotaries are at
work on both sides, but on account
OF the depth of the snow it is almost
impossible to dispose of the snow
which has covered the tracks. The
rotaries have been replenished with
coal. This has been packed in by
laborers from the bases OF supplies
on both sides Of the mountains. The
roar OF giant powder and dynamite Is
already booming and echoing in the
mountains, where the Great Northern
laborers are blasting away the Ice
and snow in the track. Black pow
der is being used and this is proving
very successful. Fully 500 men are
at work on this side Of the summit.

Will Beautify Grounds.

The open space on the west side
of the Great Northern depot is to be
graveled at once About eight inches
of Trinidad gravel will be laid over
the entire surface. 1t is the inten-
ton to park between the depot lunch
counter and the depot. A few trees
will also be planted. The subway is
almost ready for use. During the
freshet of last week this filled with
water but on account of the porous
condition of the ground it rapidly
filtered away, and is now empty. The
original plans call for the removal
of the present freight depot to the
foot of Palouse street, but it is I'M
derstood that there is some question
about removing the building from its
present location. The operating de-
partment believes the business can
be better handled from it's present
location than from the proposed site.

SWEETHEART Of A
WRECK VICTIM
ONE OF THE TRAGICALLY PA.
THETIC INCIDENTS OF THE
WELLINGTON.

Wellington, Wash, March 9.-Tha
tears streamej down the grizzled and
weather-beaten cheeks of the men at
work on the wreck at the foot of the
avalanche when they witnessed the
grief that came from the broken
heart of pretty girl who came to
claim her dead. Miss Katherine
Fisher, of Leavenworth, whose sweet
heart, Fireman Earl E. Bennington,
was pinned beneath a locomotive,
made unusual efforts to be near the
body Of the man she loved when it
should be taken down the snow trail
on a sledge to the station at Scenic.
She left Leavenworth several days
ago and reached Scenic by way of
Spokane and Seattle. She put on
trousers to go over the mountain
trail and arrived at Wellington while
Bennington was still beneath his To-
connective.
The workmen secured hydraulic
jacks and released the body. Miss
Fisher was advised not to tax her
strength by viewing the body, but
she refused.
Her tears moved the body bearers
cut of the indifference with which
they have looked upon other effects
of the disaster. They turned away
and brushed their eyes with coat
sleeves. Miss Fisher and her big
fireman sweetheart would have been
married within a few months. He
was on the passenger run and his
visits to Leavenworth were the prin-
cipal events in the life of the young
woman who wore his ring.
Miss Fisher is more than ordinar-
lily pretty. She has big brown eyes
and. graceful form, but the thing
that appealed most to the rugged
men at Wellington was her staunch
loyalty and her pluck.
"Earl's folks live in Canada. some
where" said Miss Fisher. eff I can
not find them l shall take his body
and bury it,

Iron Works Representative Here.

Charles w. Colby, Spokane man
ager for the United Iron Works of
Oakland, is in the city for a few days
visiting the local agent, A. M. Locke.
Mr. Colby is greatly pleased with
conditions here and states that his
company is taking more interest in
the development of this section than
it is in the Yakima region. Last year
the company was represented here,
but not by a special agent. Since then
conditions have warranted placing a
special agent in this territory. Mr..
Locke has been here for some time
now and has succeeded in placing a
number of pumps The iron works
company handles several of the best
agencies besides manufacturing it's
own product.

GILL ELECTED
MAYOR Of
SEATTLE
DEFEATED WILLIAM HICKMAN
MOORE BY FROM 1000 TO 5000
CONTESTED ELECTION.

Seattle, March 9.-As was gener-
ally expected, Hiram c. Gill on yes
terday defeated William Hickman
Moore as mayor of Seattle by from
1000 to 5000 votes.
4The election was one of the closest
contested ones ever held in Seattle
and a great deal of bitterness was
engendered.
Both the Post-Intelligencer and
the Seattle Times, which in every
contest heretofore held in Seattle,
have been divided, were both tied up
at this election for Gill.
Gill is supposed to have been
elected on the platform of wide
open Seattle. He, however, has never
positively defined his attitude on
this subject.

W,C,T.U,P[ANSARE
CHANGED
WILL CONSTRUCT THREE-STORY
BUILDING ON LOTS ON ORONDO
STREET - FUNDS AVAILABLE
FOR BUILDING PURPOSES.

The president of the w. c.. T. u.
announces that the organization will
construct three-story library build
ing with a basement instead of a two
story structure, as was originally
planned by the building committee.
The reason for the change is that
the ladies wish to make the institu-
ton partially self-sustaining. This
will be done by adding the third story
to the building and renting out a
part of the building for offices and
for living rooms. The ladies do not
expect to turn the institution into
a money making proposition but they
think that it should be partially self
sustaining.
The first floor is to contain the
reading room, the auditorium and the
girls parlor, where young ladies may
meet and entertain friends. The din
ing room will doubtless be in the
basement. The second floor will be
fitted up for Office rooms and the
third floor will contain fats to be
rented to families.
The W. G. T. U. expects to do for
the young women what the Y. M. c.
A. will do for the men.
The ladies have enough funds with
which to start the construction of
the building and work will be begun
as soon as all things can be made
ready.

STRIKE BREAKERS
IN RIOT
MEN FROM ST. LOUIS
SHOOT UP FRANKFORT AVE
NUE., PHILADELPHIA, BUT NO
ONE SERIOUSLY INJURED.

Philadelphia, Pa, March 9.-Des-
pite the sentiment caused by the
shooting up OF frankfort avenue,
one of the principal thoroughfares in
the northeastern section Of the city,
late last night by a trolley carload
of alleged strikebreakers from st.
Louis, no serious demonstrations
against the trolley cars were made
early today. Three men and young
girl received slight bullet wounds in
the Frankfort avenue affair. Union
leaders attribute the affair to strike
breakers.
The campaign of the union leaders
among the great industrial plants OF
the city met with more success today
at the Baldwin locomotive works,
where several hundred workers failed
to report today. The strikers claim
about 1000 men in all the divisions
of the plant quit, but this is denied
by the officers. The Baldwin works
is an open shop plant and the sue
cess in bringing out some men has
given the strike leaders renewed
hope of further spreading the strike.
Newcastle, Pa, March 9.-The an
nual convention of the State Federal
Court of Labor is in session here to-
day and passed resolutions asking
that in the event of an arbitration OF
the Philadelphia strike question fail

Wheeler the business was continued
under the firm name Of Moseley

Just after the war it grew to be one
