SNOW SLIDE IN ROCKIES.
When Railway Nan Of All station.
Risk Their Lives to Open
the Roads.

There has never been better time
to round out ones experience of life
in the Rocky mountains than during
the past winter. After having seen
the grandeur aud beauty of the noun
tains in summer storms and sunshine
many times, it was my good fortune to
get into the midst of drifts and slides"
in the heart OF the mountains Of Colo
RADIO, to see the worst Of Il, and slip
through the great snow trap west Of
Leadville on one Of the few trains that
succeeded In getting over the range,
says writer in Harper's Weekly.
There is all the difference in the
world between drift and "slide." A
rotary snow pillow will merrily bore
its way through almost any drift, but
q Slide" brings down mass Of rocks
and trees with it, and these must be re-
moved with AK, pick and shovel. With
the thermometer at 70 degrees below
zero, 800 men-engineers. fremen, Sec
ton men and common laborers-
worked for five days. sometimes as
much as SO hours without sleep, all
cheerfully risking their lives in the
simple performance Of duty-a COM
monplace courage. but all the moro
genuine for that-and finally, after
losing four or i've of their number,
cleared the track for five blockaded
trains. These passed through in the
midst Of bowling blizzard, and, after
various mishaps, the east-bound trains
reached the eastern slope Of the noun
tains. Then came two feet Of gnow,
blizzard after blizzard, and the block
ade was once more established.

NO ENNU1 AT GUAM.
rAere WIN Be Plenty Of Games ana
Books to Interest Our Marines
While There.

Officers and members Of the marine
corps probably will not be troubled
greatly with ennui at their far.away
post in the middle of the Pacific. Tho
novelty of life at the isolated little gov.
ernment station will keep them con-
tented forseveral months. There will be
many things to see and hear. Toguard
against discomfort and wearineso Of
spirit the government will have caro-
for the amusement Of its servants prao-
tically cut of. as they will DO, from
with homo and coun-
try. OF course there will be swim
ming and boating, but the sports
which the men enjoyed at home they
will also enjoy at the island of Guam.
For outdoor sports the government
will see that there Is supply OF balls
and bats, footballs and tennis racquets
and balls. During the long days when
the weather outside Is inclement and
there are no drills the men will be able
to play checkers. chess cards and 9TH
er indoor games. Col. Percival C. Pope
has secured a great supply Of such OUT
ASot soy VIC oOSlOA 4IdASS1lPVs
There will be men who do not care
for sports and games. For such as
these there will be well-stocked Ii
brary. The government has provided
a large stock OF books. In addition,
there are many thousand volumes of
books and periodicals given privately.
Some time ago Col. Pope made re-
quest through the papers for dona-
tons of books and light reading mat
ter. The response was immediate, and
SO generous that Col. Pope now re-
quests that no more be sent to the
navy yard, as 1t will be impossible to
take them to Guam. From Boston and
vicinity came over 1000 volumes and
periodicals., and New York sent al
most as many more.

gated long since to the dusty obscurity
of the garnet or the widowed isolation
of the cellar" says the photographer
who studies fads; "but photographs

cessary to exhibit some Of them at
least. So there has risen fertile
genius with fad for displaying photo

mot an ordinary bicycle wheel, how
ever, will suffice. Ifitis a young wom-
an with matrimonial prospects, more
or less immediate, or maiden In the
first throes Of hope, she must show her
pictures in a wheel from her best
young mans bicycle. II she is married,
then she must use a wheel which has
revolved in century runs. This is an
effective ornament and permits the ex-
hibition of 30 or more favorite pie
lures.
"Another fad has brought It about
that many young men who last year
were wearing boards have faces as
smooth as eggs thisyear. Their adorn-
ments have been sacrificed to the fad

great deal and sometimes choked
almost to the point of suffocation.
We vii ited him yesterday morning
and he realized then that he was in
a very bad way, and seemed to en-
terrain no hope OF recovering. To-
wards the last his mind wandered
conside rably and he rambled about
his business affairs, and can hardly
be said to have been conscious for
the last 80 hours. At his own re-
quest. made some time previously,
his reIh ains will be sent to his

burial by the side Of his infant
child. Mrs. Hadorn arrived here
ycster' lay morning and was with
him at the last, and will return
home with the body. Mr.. Hadorn
was a man of fine physique, and
ordiha rily enjoyed the most robust
health, and his sudden death will
come as a great shock to his host

Obituary--Wm. A. MCPHERSON

VIM. A. MCPHERSON, son Of
John and Emma j. Mcpherson,
was born at Mt. Idaho, Idaho
county, Idaho, March II, 1879,
where for some years he continued
to reside with his sisters, Mrs.
Carrie Aram and Miss Belle Me-
Pherson, after the death Of his
parents. There he acquired good
common school education, and
since moving to Grongeville with
his sisters, he attended the Grange
vile graded schools.
In October last, while trying to
catch II runaway team. he was
thrown from his horse and sus-
tanned injuries from which he never
fully recovered.
Early in the present year he
took the la grippe, which culmin-
ated in spinal meningitis of which,
after lingering illness, he died
February 4, 1899, and two days
later his funeral was held from
the M. +. church, this city, and
then his body was laid to rest be-
meath the evergreens in Mt. Idaho
cemetery, near his father and
mother, who had preceded him
there eleven and eight years re-
spectively.
Willie was a young man OF quiet
spirit, yet social, and was esteemed
by all his associates, and dearly
beloved by all sustaining nearer
relations because they knew more
of the sweetness of his inner life
He was devotcdly attached to his
own people, and home, to him,
seemed to be the choicest place he
ever knew.
Since the death of his brother
in-law, J. T. Aram, he seemed t.
feel the responsibilities of life more
than ever, and more earnestly thai
ever strove to be defender ant
helper of those left as in his care
During his last illness, though
he suffered long, he was very pa
tient and accomplishing, ant
his great anxiety, us often express
ed to the loved ones about him
was the fear lest they overtax thei
strength by their careful ministra
tions and long vigils.
We commend these afflicted one
to the tender care Of loving an
compassionate Savior.
