ANOTHER SLIDE
 IN CASCADES
Saturdays Disaster Narrowly Escapes Being Wrecked.

SEATTLE, Jon. 24.-The survivors of the wreck of the Great Northern Owl train, which was wrecked in the Cascade mountains last Saturday by being earned into Corea canyon by g snowslide. have been brought to this city on special train, which arrived
 late Saturday night.
 The members of the train crew who escaped being carried to their deaths report that the slide demolished mora than four hundred and fifty feet of the snowshed which had been built to protect trains from meeting with similar accidents to that which occur red five years ago when an entire pas |senger train was destroyed. When the snowsheds collapsed under tre- mendous pressure of the slide it caught one coach and the dining car. and narrowly missed the cars in
 which the survivors were travelling.
 It is reported that second slide. which occurred early sunday morn ling, has prevented the rescuers reach ing the wreck of the Owl train and all who were in the coach and dining car are dead. The second slide miss ed the rescue train by few feet and
 carried away hundreds of feet of tho shed.
 The officials of the Great Northern
 company here report that every avail able man has been sent to work in the tffort to recover the bodies of tho victims but that their efforts have
 been handicapped through fear of fresh slides. Many of the laborera
 who were sent to the scene on tho first rescue train have refused to en- danger their lives by exposing them
 selves and have returned to Seattle.

YUMA, Ariz., Jan. 24.-The Colo rado river, swollen by heavy rains in the mountains, has broken the levee and flooded the valley to depth of between three and four feet of wa ASr. The break near this city is four miles long and the entire city is un- der water to a depth of four feet.
 Thousands of families have been rendered destitute and homeless by their homes being carried away by the flood. Many of the residents who were marooned on the the house tops, have found shelter on the upper floors of the business blocks in the center of the city. The property loss resulting from the flood cannot be es- 4timattd 1t this time. but it is believ- ed that 1t will run into millions of dollars. The water stands three feet deep in the stores and merchants have suffered the loss of most of their stocks.
 Rescue parties in small boats are saving the lives of hundreds of people who were. marooned in. their homes by the sudden rush of water. Refu- gee quarters have been established in the. buildings which. it is believed will withstand the food.
 Conditions here are beyond de scription as the strong current of the
Valdez daily prospector., 1916-01-24

river flowing through the city is un- Idermining the buildings and causing them to collapse. Many of the small CT buildings have f1oated from their foundations and been carried down stream with their occupants. It is believed that when the extent of the disaster is known that the loss of life w... ve found to have been enormous. The Imperial Valley for many miles is under water and all business in
 this section of the country has been
 demoralized as scores of the towns
 are flooded. It is estimated that more
 than ten miles of the Southern Pa
 ciflc, railroad track has been destroy ed
 Advices from the upper reaches of
 the Colorado river state that the hea-
 wy rains have ceased and that the
 rixer is falling but no relief can come
 to many of the stricken districts un- til the levee has been repaired. During the excitement attending
 the break in the levee and the thrush
 of the water the mayor of Yuma dropped dead from heart disease. $,
 Gov. Hunt has sent the state mi litia to aid the hundreds of men who
 are working to repair the break in the
 levee and to prevent footing in the cities and towns devastated by the flood.

close of the war 1t might have an i'm Iportant bearing on the war situation. especially upon the people of En- gland. Ever since the beginning ot |hostilities the British government has maintained that England was seeking to prevent Belgium from be- ling crushed and that no peace could or would be made until that countr~ had been guaranteed it's indepen- dence as before the war. It is be- lieved here that the peace rumor is la feeler put forth by the German !government to cause dissension among the Allies as the common poo pie would undoubtedly demand that

 it is in violation of the Germans laws

vertisements are distributed over the country, some one paper of which enters into nearly every home. The result is that these metropolitan estabishm nts have built up an immense mail trade.
 In our town and indeed in most of the towns hereabouts, there is no occasion for this out of-town buying. The duty of citizens i'll the matter is plain, and where other things are equal support should be given local dealers. Our merchants have invested their CapItai, nave erected buildings, which are the pride of the city, and have es- tahlished concerns which are al- most metropolitan in character.
 They have built up our little city, and it is only a fair return that they have the city's trade. To turn trade otherwise, even in the line of small purchases which are great in the aggregate, is to invite the decline of property values in our town.

The rumors that Austria and Mon
tenegro have suspended hostilities for
the purpose of discussing arrange
ments whereby further warfare on
Montenegro soil should be stopped
may be based simply on the fact that
the Austrian advance in Montenegro
has become so slow that suspicion of
a suspension of hostilities are neu-
trail.
Where Was Italian Fleet?
Speculation is rife as to the attitude
which Italy has adopted with regard
to the invasion of Montenegro by the
Austrians, which constitutes a grave
menace to Italian interest. The fact
that Italy's superior fleet did not pre-
vent an Austrian squadron from as
sisting in the reduction of Mount
Lovcen. which dominates the harbor
of Cattaro. is being commented upon,
though experts admit there is not a
sufficient basis o. information from
which to draw deductions in the mat
ter and they suggest that Italy's ac-
ton in the present juncture should be
awaited before judgment is placed and
that action they point out would nat
urally be kept secret as long as pos
sible.
The Austrian military authorities
affirm the sole Russian offensive to
date has been the pushing back of one
Austrian battalion for a few hundred
yards.

Potter then traced the development of
the agricultural demand for power
machinery from the earlier stages to
the present day.
Need Machinery.
Now, he asserted, the farmer is as
sisted in his attempts to raise large
crops and put more land under Guilt
walton by machinery, by means of
which the horse power under the con-
troll of man becomes unlimited. Larger
use of mechanical power also is made
necessary. he urged, because of the
scarcity of farm labor and the in
creased cost of draft animals suitable
for farm work.
