of Scenic Tunnel, just missing
the Great Northern’s crack train
Empire Builder, by two car len
gths.
A hundred and twenty five ft.
trestle and power and communi
cation lines were carried away.
The train had been turned at a
siding, when it became known
that the track east of the tunnel
was blocked.
J. A. Irving of Vancouver, B.
C, who left the train to talk to
a member of the section crew who
had barely escaped in a slide, de
clared he said: “Mister I think
I'm the luckiest man alive.”

For Airmail In
Alaska—Dimond
(Bv The Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, Feb. 23,— A
request for $68,692 to establish
an air mail service between Jun
eau and Fairbanks await senate
action.
The proposal has been approv
ed by the House which included
the item in the post office and
treasury department appropria
! tion bill passed Saturday.
However, attempts by Delegate
Dimond to obtain additional mon
ey for feeder lines failed despite
the support of Representative
Compton and White of Idaho who
argued that a shuttle service is
vital to the development of the
Territory.
Dimond, who also lost out in
; the house committee offered an
amendment when the measure
came up for passage. Such lines
would have operated between
Cordova, Valdez, Seward, Anch
orage and Tanana Crossing, on
the route.
