celebrate in Seattle today her golden
wedding anniversary. If the search
ers locate the Pullman cars intact In
the snow they may taks out many
bodies in a short time, but it is likely
that the dead are strewn all through
acres of debris. At the present rate
of progress 1t would require weeks
to recover all the bodies. After the
track is open engines and tackle will
lift the huge trees and biwlders.
Follow Trail of Blood.
Workers searching for bodies fire.
quently find victims by following tyails
or blood through the snow. The
melting snow has carried the stains
from the mangled bodies down to the
stream at the bottom OF the gulch.
Men with shovels, upon finding one of
these crimson leads, start at the edge
of the stream and tunnel through the
snow until they come to the body OF a
victim. The snow is packed like ce-
ment and the bodies that were not
mangled by the wreckage of the cars
were horribly crushed by the weight
of the icy mass.
1t is feared that many of the bodies
will never be recovered. The warm
weather and rains of the last three
days have turned the little mountain
stream that flows through the canyon
into a raging torrent and the water
is fast undermining the snow which
was carried far out across the bottom
OF the gorge.

At one time there were six trains
in the yard. Some of them stopped
here for breakfast and every restaur.

could positively accommodate. The
"newsies" also did flourishing
business, selling everything in sight
that looked like a newspaper. The
ones containing the accounts of the

Washington, March 4.-While more
ed, Speaker Cannon tempted Presi-
dent Taft last night to a test of terp-
sichorean agility in the east room OF
the white house. Both stopped. pant
ing, when the trial was ended, but
the opinion was unanimous that
honors were even. Dancing followed
a dinner given by the president to
"Uncle joe" said to be the first for
NAL affair ever accorded a speaker
of the house of representatives by a
president.
The dinner ended, the guests went
to the east room which boasts an am
pie and smooth dancing floor. An
orchestra played a gentle waltz and
the president led off with Mrs
Joseph H. Gaines, wife of the repre-
sentative from West Virginia. The
speaker, with Mrs. Laughlin, sister
of Mrs. Taft. glided out on the polish
ed floor in the wake of his chief.
In the intermission, however, when
the orchestra struck up a lively tune
"Uncle Joe" stepped briskly into the
middle of the room and brought his
heels together sharply. There was q
patting of gloved hands and voices
called encouragingly to the guest OF
honor In a moment the speakers

called exultingly to Mr. Taft. 81 was

were present say the two executed sew.

Following the dancing, the presi

With trains arriving every few min
utes and with six of them in the yards
at one time, the o. r. & n. depot this
morning presented a fair imitation of
the Grand Central station in Chicago
or some other large city for a short
time. The rush was caused by the
opening UP of the Oregon Short Line
east of Huntington and the routing or
Southern Pacific trains this way from
Ogden, Another rush will start soon
after o'clock this afternoon.
Altogether fourteen passenger trains
we're handled in the local yards this
forenoon between $3.50 and 1880. AS
many or more are due this afternoon
and evening There are not passen-
ger crews enough to handle the con-
gested business and practically all the
freight crews are being pressed into
service. One brakeman was seri-
ously injured in the local yards, some
trains were sent out without any
brakeman or only one while in some
instances extra men were pressed in
to service.
Trucks were piled high with trunks
and other baggabe while the others
were loaded with mail bags that hao
been delayed in transit as long as 81
hours.
One of the trains which went
through first was the special bearing
the famous Chicago White Sox base
ball team. They had been held at
Ogden for the greater part of the
week. The last one that went through
carried the special car of General
Manager ]. P. O'Brien who was on
his way home from New York and
who expressed delight at once more
being in Oregon.
