TO Washington.

ambassador, has landed at Pacific
port The party, consisting of about
40 members, will stop first at Seattle,
Washington, and proceed at once to

quick and easy trip. Such courtesies
as were extended to the visiting British
French and Italian special missions will
be extended to Ambassador Bakhnetieff

mission comes to Washington in double
capacity, first as the head of the extraor-
dlnary embassy sent by the provincial
government to extend to the United
States government its thanks for entry
| into the war on the side of the entente
allies and to arrange for material assist
ance from this country, and, second, as

RAILROAD YARD
AGAIN A DISGRACE
Sea of Mud Where Heavy Traffic Is
Carried On - Same Old Excuse
for Not Putting it Right

The railroad yard near the north
bound passenger platform is in terrible
condition. 1t is impossible to operate
motor truck or drive a horse through
the sea Of mud without splashing it on
to the platform. 1t is said that be
cause of the pending readjustment of
railroad properties here between the
Boston Maine railroad and the Cen
tral Vermont that the latter will take
no steps at present to remedy the condi-
tiOns. This particular stretch of road,
necessarily subjected to heavy traffic
because it is the only road to use to
reach the bulk yard, has been the sub
iect Of more petitions and complaints
than all of the highways of the town,
and the railroad company S excuse for
not making it permanently a decent
road usually is that it is postponed
pending some other improvements.

SUMMARY OF TORNADO
COVERING THREE DAYS

Tornadoes during the last three
days in seven states of the middle
west and the south have killed nearly
$50 people, injured more than 1900,
wrecked thousands of houses, killed
hundreds of head of live stock and de-
vastated many thousands of acres of
growing crops, according to summar-
les early today.
The latest in the series of t%ornadoes
started Sunday afternoon apparently
in the vicinity of Willisville, in south
western Illinois, swept southwark
across the Ohio river into Kentucky,
down the Mississippi into Arkansas
and Tennessee, and finally veering
eastward toward Alabama, where the
storm apparently spent itself. The
dead in the four southern states was
roughly estimated at 100 and the in,
jured at several hundred. 1t is estimat
ed that at least 40 were killed in
Alabama.
Wire communications into the dis
trcts swept by the storm Sunday
is demoralized, and only meager re-
ports of the loss of life and the prop
erty damage have been received.
The destruction began last Friday
in Andale, Kansas, where 26 people
were killed and 60 injured.
Late Saturday a twister, probably
the most severe of the series, struck
the rich corn belt of central Illinois
killing 54 persons and injuring per-
haps 500 in NATION. At Charleston
ten miles east of Nation, 81 were
killed and more than $50 injured. The
property damage in the two cities is
estimated at $4,000, 900. Another des.
tructive storm last Saturday crossed
a territory approximately 100 miles
north of the center of Illinois, reach
ed into northern Indiana and caused
| the loss of a dozen lives, the injury
of more than 200 and heavy property
damage.
