THAT SNOW DUMPING SCHEME

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Your issue of to-day quotes an
official of the Park Department as opposed
TO the plan OF Park Commissioner Slower
TO dump snow from the streets into Cen
traI Park I have had occasion to go
over that subject with a number Of the
department officials and have found them
almost unanimously opposed 10 making
a dumping ground of the Ctty's finest park.
Unless heroic measures are adopted next
spring viii find Central Park in the worst
condition. possible. To add all the dirt from
the streets and TO allow paths and lawns
TO he cut UP by teams IS, in my opinion,
a plan 10 lower further tire value Of the
one big park of New York. Commissioner
Stover's procrastiuation has held a dozen
important matters. but he grasps at this
new snow idea The Park Commissioner OF
Manhattan seems to lack perspective.
Before II is TOO late this brand new idea
Of his should be consigned 10 the heap
where many others he has fostered have
lately found their way 4 CITIZEN.

been stalled in the mountains since

wher the slide came.
ii'ia other train was the trans

no N,aISehgers. Twenty bodies have
been recovered, fifteen of twenty, are
injured and twenty-five are missing.
The two trains were in charge OF
Conductors Parzybook and Uettit,
both of Everett. The fate of the
train crew is not knaWn.
The private car of Superintendent
O'Neill OF the western division of the
Great Northern was attached to the
express and buried with the rest of
the train.
It Is feared that A. E. Longcoy.
private secretary of Superintendent
ONeill, is among the dead the dead.
ONeill, who has been directing the
fight against the snow blockade for
the last ten days, was not in the car
at the time, and escaped injury.
The trains were overwhelmed near
the west portal Of the Cascade tunnel.
An telegraph wires are down to
within fifteen miles Of the slide and
it has been impossible to obtain the
names of the dead and injured.
AS soon as word of the disaster
reached Everett, the Great Northern
division point 100 miles west. rescue
trains with physicians and nurses
started for the scene. This was fol-
lowed by a second rescue train carry
ing undertakers, wrecking outfits and
laborers, which left Everett at 8

railroad tracks have been carried
away, farther down the mountains,
the rescuers could only get within
