Dad Man's Slide Takes
Its Annual Toll Of Lives
Saadon, B. C, May 16.—"Dead'
Maa Slide" took its annual toll of
lives last winter, just ap it has
practically every season in the
memory of white residents of this
s«»ction. 'rjirde bode^ lie uiw>er its
snow, and it wll be weeks, it is be
lieved certain, before relatives can
hope to recover them from the
mass of snow 150 feet deep and
feet Ions that covers them. ,
There are many slideg in thip
vicnt >• two Of them discharge

If the fail of snow ig exceptionally
heavy, but thev are not "man kil
lers" as a rule and* cannot be com
pared with "IVad Mau Sluie" or
the "Xoble Five Slide' as it is
sometime called. Th«s danger
point is crossed by numerous trraila
leading to som*. of the most valu
ably prcrpejtieg in thtt district, and,
the portals of several tunnels are
in the t»ath of the avalanche,
from the bottom of the conyon
about halfway between Sauulon, and
Cody, where ii discharges, to the
top of the mountain, the path of
»ho slide is several miles long, ajid
widens »t *he bottom to several
hundred yards. At the top five
smaller slides, each making a Pre
sentable contribution to the main
slid- come from the surrounding
crage. Wheat it breaks loose the
vprning rumble from high up on J
the ridge scarcely reaches th9 bot-|
torn of the canyon before the mass
of rushing snow, dashing with in
credible spe^d down the worn path, |
also arrives.
Traveler^ on the trails which
cross tiie i>ath of the slide in win-'

NOT STRONG ON NAVIGATION
Records Show Weakness of the Span
ish Sailor in That Highly Im
portant Matter.
The Spaniards of early days were
most adventurous explorers, but, for
a'l th •!r discoveries of distant lands,
very poor navigators. After coming
upon the Solomon Islands in the west
ern Pacific, they could not tind them
again, and they were lost for 150
fears.
The water supply of their ship was
kept In big earthen Jars. As It was
impossible to provide in this way
enough to drink for a long voyage,
they tool; to sea many large mats,
which when it rained were spread to
catch the drops. From the mats the
water was drained off into the jars.
.Probably it was no fault of Colum
bus. but his first voyage to America,
which occupied two months' time, was
mainly a drift. When he lauded In
Cuba he thought he had reached Asia,
and sent an expedition inland to treat
with tiie great khan of Tartary. Later
his flagship, the Santa Maria, ran
aground off the const of Haiti, the na
tives of which Island welcomed him
most hospitably. He noticed three or
four of them whose naked bodies show
ed scars which they attributed to
bites inflicted by man-eating sav
ages of another island called Can
lba. Whence the origin of the word
cannibal—the island Inhabited by these
anthropopluigi being Porto Rico.
Less than 100 years ago Spain still
claimed ownership of the whole Pa
cific ocean, declaring It a Spanish lake
on the strengtli of Balboa's discovery
in 1513. Acting upon this idea, the
Spanish government ordered the eom
mandante of San Francisco to seize
the Columbia, the first vessel that
carried the American flag around Cape
Horn.
