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.
The employes of the State Board
of Regents are following out the rules
laid down by the new board, recently
published, in the matter of the pur
chase of supplies. This information
is in the report made of the universi
ty by State Accountant Fairfield, who
is still looking over the books of the
institution.
Sixteen Indictments Returned.
Returning sixteen indictments, only
one of which is made public at this
time, the special session of the fed
eral grand jury was adjourned after
a five days' session, and the Jurors
dismissed. In the one case made pub
lic, which constitutes an offense
against the postal laws. Henry Hunt
of McCook. Neb., was indicted. Hunt
is a fireman on the Burlington rail
road. He was investigated on a
charge of sending objectionable mat
ter through the mails. He pleaded
guilty to the charge and was fined.
Lincoln Swaps a Pitcher.
