MOUNTAIN SIDE
FALLS ON TRACK
Explosion Causes the Great
t.. Northern to be Blocked
in Cascades.


Great Northern trains from the Pa
cilic coast are from six to ten hours
late in arriving at. Grand Forks. on
account of an avalanche in the Cas-
cade mountains caused by the cX-
plosion Of Il large quantity Of dyna-
mite by railway workmcn.
The accident occurred near Scenic
Hot Springs. Wash. at the western
end of the famous Cascade tunnel.
A number OF snow sheds were be-
Ing constructed at this point. and
the Rock Mountain walls along the
track were being removed by the use
of dynamite.
1t is supposed that too large a
charge of the explosive was used and
a great mass of rock and debris de-
scended, completely blocking the
track.
AS a result trains from the Pacific
coast terminals are being routed by
the Canadian Pacific railway as far
as Spokane.

simplicity in Chapel.
The royal chapel was changed, as 1t
would have been impossible to accom-
modate the 300 persons invited to the
wedding in the chapel without chang
ing the interior arrangement. The
pews were removed and In their place
stands Of three tiers each were built
on each side OF the nave, amply spaci-
GUS to accommodate the guests. A
placed near.the altar rail for the roy
al guests. One. higher than the 9TH
ers, was reserved for Queen Mary.
The keynote of the interior decora-
lions OF the chapel was simplicity.
There was III lavish display of flow
ers. or shrubs. Out OF respect for the
bride white heather was used in the
floral decorations exclusively. The
carpet was used is the same which
was U9eO at the WCuUlnS OF N1nS
George and Queen Mary. The gold
plate of the altar service dates back to
Charles the second. The books used
are those used at the kings wedding.
The five bridesmaids were dressed
in blue, with blue satin shoes and
stockings and flower wreaths in place
Of hats. Prince Olaf II Prince John,
who were pages to the. bride, wore
coats and knee pants Of blue satin.
The bridegroom wore the full-dress
uniform Of his regiment. the Scots
Grays. the band of which played in
the courtyard of the chapel before and
after the ceremony. The full choir
Of the Chapel Royal sang the hymns.
Wedding Breakfast for Royalty.
After the wedding ceremony the
guests assembled at St. James Palace.
where the wedding breakfast was
served. Only the immediate members
Of the royal family and some of. their
more distant relations were present.
AS to the plans OF the young couple
but little has been permitted to be-
come known. They will go to Liver
pool to say farewell to the Duke and
the Duchess Of Connaught, who are
going to Canada, but their further
movements are a matter of mere spec.
