Landslide in Washington.

Heavy rains prevailed at Pullman, Wash., for forty-eight hours. Several thousand cubic feet of earth on the hill broke loose and slid down. After going about 150 feet it struck the house of C. O. Merrill, knocking it from its foundation and carrying it several hundred feet, leaving it with ridge pole 3lanting at an angle of 15 degrees. Mr. and Mrs. Merrill and friends who were in the house were not hurt.
