Avalanche Victims Spent
Days of Terror In Stalled
Trains Before Disaster.

EVERETT, Wash, March S.-Victlms
Of the avalanche which swept TWO
Great Northern trains from the tracks
in the mountains near here yesterday
had lived in terror Of such a fate for
days before the disaster. according to
the story told today by John s. Rogers

When the train reached the mountains
II had sixty passengers on board. At s
o'clock Wednesday we were stopped at
the eastern portal Of the Cascade tun-
rel, and We stayed there until Friday
Friday night we left there. and a few
hours later the bunk house was swept
away by an avalanche which killed two
men.
I'VE pulled through the tunnel to Wei
lingtOn, near the western end Of the tun-
mel. On one side, nearest the mountain
stood Superintendent Jack O'NeilPs pri-
vate car. two box cars, an engine, and
three electric motors uSel 20 haul the
train through the tunnel. On these
cars were the superintendent. the trains
crews and pOTters- On the third track
was the fast mail. on which were six
teen or eighteen mail clerks and six
teen track labOrers.
Sunday We noticed that a mass OF
snow was hanging from the mountain
held only by the coarse timber. On
the same day a slide descended on the
east side of the hotel

rains will particularly be favorable
to late corn.
Some places in middle and western
Canada will get too much rain in
September for late crops but generally
the crop weather of September will
be favorable to those sections. Eastern
Canada will get sufficient rain ex-
cepting few small localities.
North and South Carolina will get
sufficient rain in September and their
cotton crop will be greatly benefited
thereby, Top cotton will make 4
long and vigorous growth.
Balanve of the country, including
Cuba. will have a deficiency of rain,
except few localities about Chicago,
Boston, Columbus Ohio, where local
rains will bring relief.
This leaves very large section OF
country with a large deficiency OF
moisture. September will be a drouth
month with the exceptions mentioned.
Most rain will fall not far from

the information so that 1t would be
plain to his partners and meaningless
