Great Mass of Whiteness.
The huge snowdrifts that some
| times rise III a single night are fire.
-! quently ten, 20 or even 80 feet in
\ height. To one who sees such an ac-
emulation of snow for the first time
1t seems impossible that any pillow,
even the most improved rotary, can
penetrate it. With rush and a
| plunge the great pillow is hurled into
the mass Of frigid Wilderness. Black
clouds of smoke pour from the en-
/ gines, and the huge blades of the ro-
! tary begin to eat into the drift. The
| snow shoots out of the orifice at the
side of the pillow. AS it is distributed
it forms an immense white semi-cir-
Gle which is constantly moving on
ward, showing the progress of the
pillow.
Slowly the rotary exeayates its way
forward, and finally the pillow and its
engines are buried in a trench of
white. Only the smokestacks can be
seen, and they continue to belch forth
inky clouds that settle in coat of
smudge upon the, snowfield The
great white semi-circle moves steadily
onward. and in the course of time it
becomes apparent that the drift is be-
ing conquered Ii is eventually over
come, and the passengers on the reg
ular express train which passes that
way few hours later knows nothing
of the snow battle that has made their
further progress possible. They may
discover that they are moving rapidly
through narrow canyon whose walls
are snow, but they do not realize the
mighty force that has enabled them
to cross the ridge of the continent.
1t is the element of the unexpected
that sometimes adds largely to the Sc
riousness Of these occasions. At the
passes over the great divide adequate
provision against trouble has been
made. and long blockades are few.
Now and then, however word comes
that a train has not been able to
force its passage through snow accu-
mutation 100 miles or more from the
nearest rotary plow Then there is
CONSERVATION indeed. To get pillow
to the blockaded train will take time,
but it must be done. In the meantime
the drift may be growing on the UNI
used road, and each hour is bringing
fresh menaces to railroad men and
passengers alike.
When rotary pillow itself is caught
in a snow blockade the situation be
comes even more complicated Such
instances are rare. but it has hap
pened. Such thing can only be pos
sible through the carelessness of some
workman, for a rotary pow with suf-
ficient power behind it can eat it's way
through a drift of almost any dimen-
sions.

BOTH SIDES AT THE

At the Byers mill company water
hearing today those in attendance wit
messed the unusual spectacle of a wit
ness for one side being called by the
opposing side and used to good ar
vantage The witness was Joseph
Cunha, wealthy Echo sheepman and
owner of the Henrietta mill at Echo.
Mr.. Cunha was called by the Byers
people to testify as to the value of his
milling plant, it being the presump-
ton the Byers attorneys will seek to
show that the irrigation of the Indian
lands would adversely affect the mill
at Echo.
After he had been excused by the
mill attorneys r. r. Johnson, who is
now conducting the case for the gov
ernment called Cunha for the govern
ment. He was asked as to the return
flow of water when land is irrigated
near Echo. Mr.. Cunha declared there
is considerable return flow from land
he irrigates. II was a point of value
to the government in view of the fact
the question of the seepage of water
back to the river is an element in the
present case
1t is probable that the taking of
testimony in the adjudication suit will
be completed this evening.

Thus far no rivalry is being mani
