WAS DONE BT AN AVALANCHE Catastrophe Overtakes the People' at' Early Hour When Without Warning Slide Occurs. Buckmingham, Ont Half of the lit tle French .hamlet of Notre Dame de .Salette, sixteen miles from here, on the Lievre river, lies buried under a sliding mountain and at least thirty of its small population are known to have perished. The hamlet has no telephone or telegraph and it is not on a railroad. Meager bits of news of the disaster come in by ' messenger from the physicians and other rescu ers who were hurried there when the first calls for aid came in the early morning . The river Lievre winds at the foot of the hamlet and a mountain towers behind it. Spring rains for days past have been melting the snow and ice on the mountain and streams have been coursing down the river. At 5 o'clock this morning, just as the little hamlet began to stir for early mass, part of the mountain started to slide toward the river. It tore a path of death and destruction for its way and those who were not killed when their homes were engulfed were left buried under the mass of rock and earth. Camille La Pointe's house stood first in the path of the avalanche. He and his family of eleven are known to have perished. Eight others whose names have not been obtained are known to be missing and in the panic the rescuers are attempting to find definitely how many more are miss ing. Mrs. Des Jardin's cottage also was swept away and she, with her two children, a domestic and a hired man, are known to be buried in the land slide. De Salette, like many hamlets of its kind, rambles into gardens and little fields on the mountain side, so about half of it was not in the path of the avalanche. The sliding mass rushed with a roar and spread fanlike over part of the place and dumped itself in the swol len stream at its foot. Cut off from the outside world, mes sengers were dispatched to Poupere, the nearest hamlet. Those who ar rivdd first estimated that at least a dozen houses were crushed in the path of the landslide. Buckingham was appealed to but the flight of the messengers across the spring roads was slow. Those first on the scene found De Salett in a panic, with the uninjured packing their belongings for a flight. Latest reports from De Salette make the number of known dead thir ty, of which eleven bodies have been recovered. In all twenty houses were engulfed in the slide.

THE STATE CAPfTAL MATTERS OF INTEREST 'TO ALL " CITIZENS. . . - LETS HOUSE ROLL NO. 427 ; A Blunder Seems to Have Been Com mitted When Legislature Passed the Enactment. Blunder of Legislature. The last legislature blundered when it passed Representative Lee's house roll No. 427, according to information now before Attorney General Thomp son. The act, which is now a law, re- peals that portion of section 37, chap ter 18, compiled statutes of 1905, which provides that any one desiring to appeal from the disallowance of a claim before a county board must give notice to the county clerk within twenty days of such decision. A coun ty attorney called the attention of the attorney general to the new law and its change in the former statute. If the act remains in force all limitations will be removed and a claim dis allowed by a county board can be ap pealed from years after the decision of the board. The act, however, leaves another provision in force in section 33, chapter 18; compiled sta tutes of 1905, which says upon the al lowance of a claim against a county the warrant shall not be delivered to the party until the time for taking an appeal has expired, and if the appeal be taken then, not until the same shall have been determined. House roll No. 472 was Introduced by Representative Lee of Douglas county. It was intended, evidently to re-enact sections 33, 37 and 74 of chapter 18. compiled statutes of 1905, with the addition of a proviso permit ting the filing of claims with the county comptroller and not with the county clerk in counties having a county comptroller. The act was in tended to apply only to Douglas county. Investigating Nebraska Soil. An Investigation of Nebraska soil is shortly to be undertaken under the supervision of the Board of Regents of the State university. Lecturers will attend the corn show to be held in Omaha and show just what the in vestigation reveals. The idea of the board is that many farms of Nebraska have been worked for about twenty-five and thirty years; that the soil has been taken from and very little given back. The virgin prairie will be analyzed and then the farm which has been worked will be investigated. That which the latter soil lacks, which was in the virgin soil, will be given to it. Farmers will be instructed in the use of the prop er treatment of the soil, and in the opinion of the Board of Regents the result will be so beneficial as to be beyond calculation. At least four experts will be start ed, at once to get samples of soil from different parts of the state and to begin the analysis. Sibley Confers on Grain Case. Senator Sibley was in consultation with the Railway commission over the hearing In the matter of grain rates over the Burlington, against which the Lincoln county man protested. This hearing is set for April 28. In discussing the case Senator Sibley said he was not a shipper of grain, though he would have no trouble in establishing the fact that he is inter ested in grain rates. "I raise grain, and cattle and hogs," he said, 'and the Burlington railroad fixes the prices for which I must sell what I raise. We pay higher rates on grain than is paid in Iowa or ad joining states and we are entitled to a lower rate." Senator Sibley said he was not ready to announce his can didacy for congress in the Sixth dis trict, though it is generally under stood he will be a candidate for the republican nomination. Hearing for Railroad Employes. The railway commission received a request from employes of the North western railroad for a hearing in the matter of a proposed reduction in rail road rates. The commission received a similar request or rather a protest from emploj-es of the Burlington road and at that time told the men they would be given an opportunity to be heard before the commission acted upon rates. No definite date was set The request from a Northwestern employe came from Omaha. University Turns Over New Leaf.
