would be detoured by way OF Port
land over the Spokane, Portland &
Seattle railroad until the danger Is
past.
Two slides on the Milwaukee line
near Kechelus were reported today
shortly after the arrival OF through
passenger train from the east at 5:45
o'clock. Offlcials said they hoped to
be able to cope with the situation
without great delay.
Two lives were snuffed out in
Seattle last night when a mud slide
swept away the face OF Magnolia
bluff. Mr.. and Mrs. Edward Gurney
OF West Garfield and Joliet streets
were buried in the mud and their
home crushed.
Street car lines were all In opera
tion today for the first time since the
