Frnzen tn Death.

G. A. Hoey, q. s. Powell and Gus
Haines, three young farmers of Fox
Prairie, Marion county, started on deer
hunt along the upper Santiam few
days ago They were 20 rendezvous at
the hut of an old hunter named Wolf, st
Silver Creek Falls. The ground was
covered with snow to depth of twenty
inches; though high on the mountain
sides it was much deeper. and about
noon, wheu a olindiBg snow storm set
in, the three hunters were com oletely
at loss TO know in which direction to
travel homeward After making re-
peated efforts to reach VOLTS place they
gave up in despair and commenced
walking around in a circle and slap
ping their hands against their bodies in
a vain endeavoI to keep warm. As the
men did not return that night, Woll
became uneasy and decided to go out
and hunt for them, taking d neig
with him The first dav's hunt was On
successful. but on the second day ahoui
noon, bv the aid Of two deer hounds,
they found Hoey and Powell. Haines
had died during the previous night,
while Powel's legs We're frozen almost
black. His hands and face were also
badly frozen. Hoey's hands and feet
likewise were frozen, but not so badly
as Powell's, for the latter could not
speak.
Together the rescuers carried Powell
down to VOLTS place, distance of stv
efaI miles, and they then returned for
Hoey, who was unable to walk. They
did not reach the cabin until late that
night, and then found that Powell was
dead A doctor living about 12 miles
away was sent for next morning. and on
making an examination stated that am
putation of Hoey's feet and possibly his
hands would be necessary. The suffering
man was quieted by the use of opiates,
ard was then taken down TO his home in
Fox valley, where mpu'ation was per
formed Saturday Haine's body was ia
ken from the Snow on the second dav
after the discovery of the men, and on
the following day he and his comrade
we're buried.

more grace In dancing he would have surely
been a prize winner. j. E. Hardy, the
artist, as 10, the Big Indian" was excep-
tionally good, and he should have kept in
costume until the time for unmasking, but
it was too warn, tor him. The ladies were
all good. and had there been prizes enough
to go around. each would have secured one,
as they were all certainly deserving.

The Blockade Broken.

Sunday morning two trains from Port
land arrived in the city following in ths
wake of the rotary snow plow. This wal
the first communication we had with the
west for two days, and. in consequence
there was an abundance of mail received al
the postoffice which kept the force busy for
several hours.
The snow in places between The Dalles
and Portland was from TWENTY-FIVE to thirty
feet deep, and the rotary would bore hole
through for the passage of trains; but this
would soon be filled again. This had to be
repeated every time train passed. and the
gallant rotary acted as an escort to east and
west bound passengers.
At 10 o'clock yesterday afternoon, large
passenger train with four locomotives at.
tached, preceded by the snow plow, left the
city for Portland. It arrived about 8
o'clock in the evening, and as soon as possi-
BILE two east. bound trans started, as usual,
escorted by the snow plow. They arrived
in the city about 6 o'clock this morning,
and proceeded east about 7 o'clock.
So far west-bound trains have been on
time, and the only difficulty experienced
has been IN the gorge Of the Columbia.
Every season this gives the railroad com.
pany considerable trouble, and the Union
Pacific has to use the most herculean efforts
to keep the road open for traffic. There are
places in which the snow falls to great
depth, and these have to be pIowed through
to admit the passage of trains.
The working of the rotary when it strikes
a snow drift Is described as something
grand. It bores into the snow like an
augur. and throws it sixty feet into the air.
1t is wonderful how quickly drift is re.
moved by the action of the rotary, and it
seems that it cannot be too deep to impede
It's progress.

cussed in spirit of friendship, and de-
cided at least in our own minds in such
manner as to permanently influence our
