WASHINGTON, OREGON AND IDAHO
HEAVY SHOWS IN EASTERN OREGON
FOR SEVERAL YEARS-SIX
FEET ON SUMPTER ROAD.

BAKER CITY, Or, Jan. 25.-S.low
on the Sumpter Valley roadbed is six
feet deep in the mountains near Aus
tin, the terminal of the line, necessi-
tating three engines yesterday. The
train due at Austin at 11:30 o'clock
yesterday morning did not reach there
until late in the evening arriving at
Baker City on it's return trip seven
hours late The snow is SO heavy that
shovels cannot keep it off the track.
All west-bound passenger traffic on
the o. r. & N. line has been delayed
for several hours for two days on ac-
count Of the heavy SHOWS which have
fallen east of here. Yesterday No. l
was held several hours at Telocaset in
the nils east of Union.
Shows have been deeper in this sec
ton of the country and east of here in
Baker county than for 20 years past.
There is but five feet of snow at
Kamela on the summit of the Blue
mountains and the extraordinary fall
on the Telocaset hill is a new problem
on the mountains. The rotary snow
pillow has been over the road; also the
fanger has been run eastward from La
Grande to clear the tracks.

ington selling for from 500 per acre
upwards to $500 and 5000, 1 was at
once set down for an outright liar.
That was too hard a nut for even the
best of them to crack, without excep-
ton However, l had documents with
me to back up the statements and then
it was believed that the whole state
of Washington must be prevaricators.
Many men Of moderate means are
anxious to find a location in this sec
ton of the country; and I believe the
best way to make Walla Walla a city
of $4,000 people is to advertise through
the local papers in cities like Daven-
port, Dubuque and Cedar Rapids, in
Iowa; Rock Island, Springfield, Rock
ford, Peoria and other cities of that
class in Illinois, and other places, the
advantages of this city for openings in
board, leather, wool, canning factories,
pickle works, and the cheaper grades
of furniture. One manufacturer whom
l saw was seriously enquiring about a
location for factory for manufacture
ing buggies, wagons, carts, etc. If we
could get some of these, together with
a few lines of interurban railroads, it
would not be long, in my opinion, until
$4,000 people would be found here.
What we most need, 1 am convinced
as a result of my observations, is we'll

vertising."

weight. Parker appears to be nervous
On that point alone, and insists that
the Chicago boy get down to 135
pounds.
Parker posted all his forfeit money
today, for appearance and weight, and
all that is now necessary is for
O'Keefe to do the same. O'Keefe is
expected to post the forfeit today. The
Chicago boy looks well, but is consfd-
erably overweight. and will have some
hard work to do to get to weight, but
he has plenty Of time for that.
