TOURISTS HEROISM'
SAVES ALPINE GUIDE

Geneya.-Herman Biner, one of the
most popular Alpine guides at Ter
matt, had terrifying experience whiie
making an ascent of the Breithorn,
and was only saved from death by the
heroism of the tourist who accom-
panied him.
Biner was engaged by DIR. Shivel, a
Munich physician, to guide MN TO
the summit of the Breithorn, which is
$4,000 feet high. After the doctor
had crossed a snow-covered crevasse
above the Theodule Pass, Biner at
tempted to follow, but the snow bridge
collapsed.
The guide dropped thirty feet over
q precipice and remained suspended
by the rope which bound him to Dr
Shivel, The latter, notwithstanding
the terrible strain, managed to hoic
the guide in midair for two hours
meanwhile shouting for help.
When the doctor was nearly ex
hausted and Biner had shouted to hin
to cut the rope and save himseir
two Italian smugglers, heavily ladel
came over the Theodule Pass.
Hearing the shouts, they rescued
the guide and assisted DIR. Shivel L
convey him nearly to Zermatt. Thel
the smugglers disappeared, havin
refused to accept any reward for thei
services.

BUT LITTLE LOSS OF
STOCK IN INTERIOR
STOCKMEN SAY REPORTS
HAVE BEEN EXAGGERATED
Winter Has Been Severe, But Very
Few Cattle or sheep Have Been
Lost-Hay Enough TO Last Several
Weeks-No Loss in Umatilla Coun-
ty

Though the memory of ''The old
est inhabitant'' is being racked in
vain to recall another such a winter
as the one which is still being expert
enced in eastern oregon, reliably in
formed stockmen say that conditions,
even in the interior parts of the state,
are not so bad as they have been re-
ported. They admit that feed is scarce
and high and the extra expense made
necessary by the long feeding season
will be felt by both sheep and cattle
men. but they say that when the snow
has finally disappeared and spring
puts in an appearance that it will be
found that actual loss of stock has
been little, if any, more than normal.
These optimistic views are con-
firmed in a letter received this morn
ing by Attorney ]. B. Perry from the
men in charge of his stock in Harvey
county. This letter said that while
hay was getting scarce that there was
still plenty on hand to last a few
weeks longer, that cattle were doing
well and that there was no immedi'
ate danger 1t is also believed that II
word could be received directly from
Grant county that it would be founC
that the reports from there have beer
somewhat exaggerated though there il
little doubt that there has been SOM
actual. loss of cattle alrea-y and tina
every day the present weather con
tinues only adds to the seriousness o
the situation.
There has been no actual loss
stock in Umatilla county so far, what
ever though the feed supply is gettini
less each day. The price of hay, how
ever. has not advanced for some tim
and the opinion seems to prevail tina
the supply is sufficient to last unit
all danger of snow has passed.
Yesterdays warm rain, which con
tinued from early in the forenoon un
til late in the evening took off mos
of the snow on the foothills as we
as in the valleys and it was believe
that a flood was eminent. The weatf
er turned colder during the nlgh
however, the rain turned to snow an
when morning dawned the groun
was covered with two inch mant
of white. The snow was still fallir
and a cold west wind which was bloV
ing made the morning seem nearly
cold and disagreeable as any or II
winter. Later in the day, the clout
cleared away, letting the sun con
out and since then the snow has bee
rapidly disappearing.
