Dear Sir: The Secretary Disc Plow I pur
chased from you is giving us satisfaction. We
are using it to plow under a crop of lupins. They
are three feet high -and very thick. Your plow
turns them completely under, at the same time
plowing the land fourteen inches deep.
I feel satisfied that with this plow the draft
for the same quantity and depth of work is as
6 to 8. That is, with the old plow, to do the same
work, it takes 8 good mules; with your plow it
takes only 6, and they are less tired at night.
Please send me another plow by first schooner
leaving for this.
You are at liberty to use this in any way you
may see fit. Yours truly,
. A. L1DGATE.

Monster Avalanche Sweeps Many
People to Dentil.
SEATTLE, (Wash.), April 9. The
most terrible calamity yet told of the
trails in Alaska is to be recorded of ine
Chilcoot Pss, where, on last Sunday
afternoon, a score or more of miners
are believed to have perished in an
avalanche of snow and ice that tore
down the mountain side, moved from
its resting place by the warm Chinook
winds that blew from the sea.
Conflicting reports as to the number
of lives lost have been received. One
statement is to the effect that 31 bodies
had been recovered before the Al-Ki
sailed. Another authority gives the
number of bodies found as 21, while
still another states that possibly CO
live-s have been lost.
The story of the disaster, appalling
ih its loss of human life and untold
misery to those that were left living,
but mained and penniless, was brought
down on the steamer Al-Ki, Capt. J. W.
Gage, which left Skagway Monday
morning last and arrived here last ev
ening at 7 o'clock.
Captain Gage and Purser W. II. Bush
both corroborate the story. Purser
Bush says that the first word of the
calamity was received by telephone at
Skagway on Sunday afternoon about 5
o'clock. This was at least three hours
after the slide. The following morning
word was transmitted over the tele
phone that 31 bodies in all had been
taken out of the snow, ice and debris of
ruined tents and outfits.
The accident happened between
Stone House and 'the Scales, while the
trail was thronged with miners.
Since the great Alaska rush began,
stories of disaster have been brought
down by the steamers from Skagway
and Dyea which, upon investigation,
have proven unfounded and utterly un
true. In the present case, however, the
narrative of the terrible loss of life on
the Chilcoot trail appears to be trust
worthy. It is confirmed by several in
dividual newspaper correspondents
who sent dispatches down on the Al-
Ki. It is also confirmed by the Associ
ated Press correspondent at Skagway,
who put his letter aboard the Al-Ki a
short time before she-sailed.
Additional confirmation of the story
is contained in a telegram received by
John A. Whalley from W. A. Dickey.
This message was filed last night at
Victoria, but it is believed that it was
sent from Dyea, where Mr. Dickey was
when last heard from. He says that
the number of men and women killed
may reach 60.
Powers Inform Her That This Ouly
Wlll Avert War.
NEW YORK, April 9 The World
publishes a copyrighted special from
Madrid on Thursday night, by way of
Bayonne, France, which says: The
ambassadors of the five great powers,
France, Russia, Italy, Germany and
Austria, have diplomatically informed
the Government of Spain that war with
the United States can only be averted
by Spain yielding. There is no reason
to believe that the powers made extra
ordinary propositions to Spain. They
have said in effect that if she would
make such concessions to the United
States as they believe to be necessary
the powers would guarantee her
against war, both external and inter
nal. The powers could delegate one of
their own number, Austria, whose
throne is so closely allied with Spain,
the duty to defend Spain against any
international foes that might arise, as
a menace to the dynasty, as a result of
the demand of the United States. Aus
trian troops would have behind them
the allied moral and physical forces of
Europe. The Papal Nuncio who has
been repeatedly at the palace during
the past 24 hours, is believed to be in
sympathy with this program.
