Snow Slides,

The "oldest inhabitants" along the
Bennetts Branch, from Bennezette to
Driftwood, never heard Of such snow
slides as swooped down the mountain
sides after the big snow storm of the
26th ult. The wagon road is on the
west side Of the stream and the railroad
on the east side. The snow slid down
the mountain in some places to the
depth of twenty feet on the wagon road.
1t will cost thousands of dollars to open
the road unless Higher Power than
man comes to the rescue. A crust has
been frozen over the snow sufficient to
hold horse. An axe has to be used to
cut the crust. Some of the people liv-
ing in that section Of the country can
not get away from their farms with a
team. The last days of 1894 will go
down the annals of time noted for big
snow slides.

they certainly make good use of the

dition. The coasters start at +. NJ.
Browns and stop at Deibles wagon
shop. Some of the boys couple their
sleds together with long board and
a half dozen get on and go down the
hill at tightening express speed, while
other boys ride down the same hill on
their little sleds at much slower speed.
We have noticed that the "bobs," with
its half dozen, bounds down the ice
covered street with hardly yelp from
its cargo, but the chap on the little sled
yells track, track" at the top of his
voice almost constantly from the time
he starts until he stops. How much

Looking Over Their Material.

The Peoples Party held a meeting
last Friday afternoon to inspect their
material for municipal officers, and to
select their best men so that when they
hold a caucus to nominate their ticket
for the February election they will have
no difficulty, as they will know what
timber they have. This is pretty good
scheme and one that could be patterned
after with no harm to the other parties.
When the Republicans or Democrats
hold caucuses they have difficulty in
finding just the material they want for
municipal officers. II meeting was
held before hand and the matter dis
cussed it might result in putting better
tickets in the field than is often done.
Some times the men who are wanted for
Office do not attend the caucus and their
names are not placed on the ticket be-
cause they may positively decline to ac-
cept the honor bestowed on them. II a
previous meeting was held the men
wanted could be consulted, and perhaps

driving, but the horses "go" just the

there is an ordinance being fractured.
