Geneva. Switz., Sept. 2 ? An .avalanche this morning
swept down the Alps near this place carrying destruction
before it. Forty are known to have been kill?d, many bur
ied so deep that the bodies will never be recovered. Among
the missing is a party of eight American tourists.
The road to the boundary line and
load I ok to the 1'orcupine utul Kainy
Hollow mines will be completed in ano
ther month and theu you need not take
the canoe trip up the Chllcat, unless
you want to, in order to reach that rich
and interesting country. The work oti
the road is coming on famously and will
bo completed to tho boundary by the
Iflth of October and that branch from j
Uinduski to Wells by tho end of Sep
tember. The completion ?f tho work
within the time limit of one season nnd
the original estimate made up by Kngin
eer James H. Watson hits been to the
surprise of mm; who arc wise in such
things, and who said it "couldn't b
done." In fact Captain Pillsbury him
self was not among the most sanguine
that It could be and he of course will be
among the most pleased.
Completed the road will bo r splen
did avenue opening up a region rich in
possibilities ?nd it i9 believed by many,
the fi st step toward u practicable route
to tho interior? the most practicable
route. Tho road leads out of liaines
and passing over a level neck of land,
hits the north bank of the ChilKat a
mile west of tho town. It follows closely
along tho north bank of the rive/ 1?
Wells, a distance from Haines of a
little over 26 miles. This distance, so
lar as the grade is concerned is practi
cally level the entire way and for lone
stretches skirts rock clilT* that had to
etiipped away to make room for it.
This part of the work was let to Peter
Henning, contractor? tl.e lowest bidder
in the spring competition? and the road
commission is well pleatou with the J
manner In which he has hurried it
through to satisfactory completion. The
river is lo be bridged at Wells? a sub
stantial heavy-timber, Howe-trUss
bridge? and thence leads over the low
hills >o the boundary, 23 miles awny.
This part of the work is bring done
by the road commission itself and is in
charge of Assistant Superintendent J.
C. Hayes. Here also the work is rapid
ly nearing an end. Tho diflicult spot is
at the mouth of the Klihina, near whore
it empties iuto tho Chilcat, tho ground
being low and the water ovetllowinp.
This problem is now being worked out
by Superintendent "Doc" Watson, uc
dfir whose personal direction the entire
worn has been. Mr. Watson located the
line, --a font In Itself passing through a
jungle of underbrush for miles as it
does? and is to becreditcd In largemeas
uro with the success achieved, lie haa.
boct' in the field from early until late
every day, noting, correcting and advis
ing ou every foot of the way. The road
will he a boon to the whol# region It
Invados and will speed the development
of a rich country.

AN UNCHARTED ROCK
AND A WIRLESS TAN6LE
Wireless information became tangled
up during the just completed trip of
tho Pennsylvania from Seattle to 'V'al
dez. In some manner the cabiesbip
iturnside, then at Cordova, received
from the air report that the Pennsyl
vania had struck a rock off Vancouver
sland acd thn foundation of her boiler
latteries had been jirred loose. Hul
(hu Pennsylvania arrived at Valdez
yesterday, safe and sound after an un
eventful voyape.
Capt. Wain, ma?ter of tho Pennsyl
vania, explains the accident report |
by the fact that after arriving off Se
attle oh the previous trip he uaecl his
wireless apparatus to inform shipping
that he had bumped a rock off Mon
tague and that while the chart shows
nine fathom*, in reality the rock is
covered by only three fatboms. He
believes that in picking up this mes
sage the Uuinside ?ot things twisted.
Captain Blain say* the accident off
Montague was fraught with serious
possibilities and that tho Pennsylvania
ha a very close call. Tho vessel
bumped high on her bilge and without
damage but hail she struck full on it
would probably Wave torn the bottom
completely out of Tier ? Valder. Pros
