AUGUST 30. 1912 EN PAGES BIG LANDSLIDE ON C.P.RJHAIN LINE Following a Cloudburst, Great Quantities of Rock and Mud Slide Covering Track Revelstoke, Aug. 24 ��� Following a miniature cloudburst last night, a landslide and washout occurred on the C.P.R. near Rogers' Pass. The slide was 100 feet long and piled up 15 feet high. As a result of the slide, a small creek was dammed, causing a washout of the track. Three thousand laborers with two steam shovels started in clearing up the debris and Monday's advices state that the line is clear.
