2 THE SPECTATOR At Donald Cut By H. W. G. 'o9. U O, simple lateral bracing isn't strong enough in a case like this.,' At any rate a watchman or two should have been stationed in the cut to flag trains if an accident should occur. - The first speaker was George Mitchell, assistant en- gineer of construction on the C. P. railroadg his companion was Walter Campbell, foreman of the signal-crew on the Kootenai division of the same road. They were discussing the improvements being made at Donald Cut, at the west end of which they stood. At this point the Clearwater runs south between East and West Cariboo ridges. The railroad runs north along West Cariboo, crosses the Clearwater on a curving stone bridge,.and plunges thru Donald Cut in East Cariboo.

Well, it's not our fault, said Mitchell. Let's go back to campy it's going to rain . By this time it had become quite dark, the wind had
