WESTERN PACIFIC
TRACK WASHED OUT
Waves of Great Salt Lake Leave
New Gould Line Unable
to Operate

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Feb 10
There will be no through trains over
the Western Pacific railroad for a
week, perhaps longer period. dis
aster similar in kind, though of lesser
degree than that which overwhelmed
the San Pedro, Los Angeles and Salt
Lake, befell the new Gould road during
a short lived tempest yesterday after
noon.
Lashed by the wind, mighty waves of
salt laden water beat down the West
ern Pacific roadbed where it crosses
the shallow southern arm of the Great
Salt lake, tore out long stretches of
track and piled masses of debris on
other portions. Examination today
showed that 10 miles of the line must
be repaired and two or three miles re-
built before trains can pass.
When the line was constructed the
lake was several feet below its pres
ent level and the elevation of the rails
was ample. The subsequent rise of the
waters brought them within splashing
distance of the ties and ii is no secret
that the officials have long realized the
necessity for reconstruction.
Freight, through and local. has been
handled by the Western Pacific for two
months. Passenger service has not
been established.

audience that packed the house to the

were added TO the program and in the

PORTLAND, Feb. 15.-LocaI members
of the forest service are indignant over
the report from Washington that they
planted" evidence in the effects of

discredit him and TO win favor with
their superiors.

began at Washington were in the Gus
tody of CLAWS himself for months prior
to his discharge by order of Secretary
Baliinger.
CLAWS testified that after sending a
copy of the documents to Pinchot he
returned the papers to the files. Search
of the office records by Chief Christen-
sen failed to find them.
In a final effort to find the documents
the custodian of the Federal building at
Seattle a representative of the United

the interior department decided TO open
the boxes which CLAWS had stored in
the grand jury room of the Seattle
public building. Nesting among the
bearskins, old clothing and camping
paraphernalia packed away by CLAWS
the original letters and two copies of
each were found. The discovery was
made February and the missing rec
