"Wednesday morning we stopped at the east port of the Cascade tunnel," said Rogers. "We remained there un- N til Friday, getting our meals at the bunkhouse. two meals a day. "Friday night we left the east portal and a few hours later, as we afterward learned, an avalanche from the moun tain side wiped out- the station and the bunkhouse, killing two men. We pulled through the tunnel as far as Welling ton, which is about half a jnile beyond the west portal. "Conductor . Pettit was in charge ,of our train and he. proved a hero through out those rt"ying>days. We all ate at Bailets 1 : hotel. There was plenty of food,, but only enough coal to main tain the heat in our coaches which was absolutely necessary because of -the sick people; aboard. For this reason we abandoned a plan' to run our train _back into the tunnel. — ~" "Sunday I saw a slide come: down to the east of the hotel,* carrying tim ber I with it in a wave of snow. Sunday night there was a slide at the east portal which filled a 50 foot gulch across the track. - . -, . '. '}\u0084... "Previous to that we had made the best of things. .

During all this time it had snowed continuously, with ter rific winds • driving the drifts. "Monday night eight of us decided to wait no longer andi set out to walk to Skyhomish. We arrived there this morning, and while waiting for a train learned of the disaster we so narrowly escaped." Men's, Underwear Spring weights, sweater neck r or button. front. $1 a.nd.51.50; R V. D.
