LAND SLIDES. - A gentleman who came from Hogden's a few days ago states that there are five landslides along the line of road north of Kalama. One of the slides is tremendous, and will require immense labor to remove it, and some time. At present the company have two hundred Chinamen employed in clearing away the earth and stones from the track. It will require at least two weeks yet to put the road in condition for the cars to resume trips, even if no more slides occur.
