After a week of storm that varied
from around zero up to several degrees
above freezing and from snow to rain,
so far as is now known the damage to
young trees is heavy. The snow in
some instances entirely covered trees
and as the warmer weather came
thawed and settled crushing trees down
and breaking them off. In other cases
where parts of branches extended
through the snow. the break came at
the center of the tree or branches
stripped down from the sides Men
have been busy digging out trees but
found much damage had been done
even at the earliest time they could
get about such work. Owners of nur-
sery stock are heavy losers. Damage
to buildings was small So far as we
have heard throughout Odell, a few
wood sheds and old buildings having
gone down under the weight of the
snow The apple house of the David
son Fruit Co in Willow Flat collapsed
the roof falling and breaking through
the upper floor and crashing on the
lower floor leaving destruction from
roof to foundation. Plaus for immedi-
ate rebuilding are under way While
there has been Inconvenience and hard
work clearing away about homes and
roads it could have been much worse.
There has been no weather so cold as
to cause suffering and supplies could
be had near at hand at either store.
Men have gone into Hood River bring
ing the mail for their neighbors and
all has gone we'll when everything is
taken into consideration and the pleas
ant weather of Springtime will find us
ready to extend a welcoming hand the
more gladly because of such expert
ences.
