He says:

Ellensburg, Wash.-Coming to school
on snowshoes and skis, sliding over
the schoolhouse roof and climbing
down to the door through twelve feet
of snow is the experience of children
at the school at Meadow Greek. Mrs.
Mary Boedcher, county superintend-

which tell the children's idea of the
situation.
"Our schoolhouse is about twelve
feet high on the outside writes one
boy, but the snow is so deep that q
person can walk right over and not
know that there is building there.
We have to crawl down eight steps
through a hole in the snowbank to get
into it."
I'VE live in a tent" says a twelve
year-old girl in the seventh grade.
"The roof is covered with large pieces
Of bark. All that you can see Of the
house is the very front, where you 20
out. I went halfway to school on the
skis and crawled a little way so as not
to go in so Deep"
Mrs. Beach, the teacher, in her re-
port to Mrs. Boedcher, said that in
spite Of the snow school kept up every
day and that only two absentees were
noted during the severe weather.

PREFERRED CAVE TO
LIFE IN A SOD HOUSE
Unique Home Of. Pioneer and
Family Brought to Light,

CARRIER, Okla.-The falling Of five
feet of cement porch Of farmhouse a
half mile north Of CARRIER brings to
light the unique home Of q pioneer of
this section.
Under this porch was a cave. The
cave was dug in 1894 At a point
along little ravine a sandstone ledge
cropped out. and there s. n. Peters
tunneled under and excavated two
large rooms, with a sandstone ledge
about three feet thick for roof. The
rooms extended sixty feet under the
ground, and at the deepest place there
was perhaps eight feet of dirt on top.
To the back room a skylight by 5
feet was opened.
The rooms were plastered and white
coated. and the rock roof was white
washed, making It light enough for
one to read newspapers in any part Of
the cave. 1t was very dry at that
time, and coffee kept in the cave
ground easily. s. III. Peters and his
family lived there many months be-
fore he built home above ground.
The stovepipe ran up the skylight.
and to persons passing along the road
the smoke coming out Of the ground
was novel sight. Hundreds Of per-
sons visited this cave home, and all
wondered why the roof didn't fall In.
as 1t was not supported by timbers.
When the wet years came a little
spring in the cave which furnished all
the water for the family overlooked
the rooms at times, and in recent years
when the drain became clogged the
cave filed with water. The pioneer
later built a house almost over the
cave.
S. n. Peters was but little longer
digging the cave home than was re-
quired to build sod house of the same
size. Sod houses were the first homes
Of most Of the pioneers. The plaster
was the only expense to the cave
home. Today this section has the fin
est country homes in the state and is
in the wheat belt.

seventeen boys and one girl, during the
last sixteen years, according to story
he reluctantly told a newspaper repre-
sentative.
Living on his school salary in mod
est way both in Minnesota, his former
home, and in Washington, he has earn
ed the money to send students through
universities by writing short stories
and magazine articles. He has paid
out between $1,000 and $1,000 on each
of his "children."
Some Of the youngsters were or
phans, and some had one parent, but
all were eager to learn and were handi-
capped by lack Of money.
The thirteen boys who are alive are
all actively engaged in the professions
In which Mr.. Mack has educated them.
Two are druggists, one being in st.
Paul and the other in Los Angeles
Two are instructors in the University
of Minnesota, where they were grad
uated. One teaches mathematics, and
the other is an instructor in German.
This latter young man plans to be
physician and in 1914 married a girl
who wished to 60 to Germany to get
her masters degree, so he and his
bride sailed for Germany to continue
their studies, only to be turned back by
the beginning Of the war.
Mr.. Mack sent him through Normal
school, the University Of Minnesota
and Harvard, where he received his
masters degree.
A young man who chose to be
broker received his education at the
University of Illinois. He started out
to be an architect, but changed his
mind and took a commercial course.
He was graduated four years ago and
is now in Minneapolis engaged in the
lumber brokerage business. He is the
best money maker of the family" In
his four years out of college he has
made $4,000.
A mining engineer who was educat-
ed at the University of Minnesota is
now working in mine at Butte, Mont.
The banker received a thorough COM
mercial education. and then Mr.. Mack
set him up in business in a bank in
Elgin, N. D. Mr.. Mack says that If
any of his boys wants to start in bust
ness he always gives them enough
money to begin. He recently bought
an eighty acre farm for one of them.
A dentist lives in Chicago. He had
four years at the University Of VAL
paraiso. Mr.. Mack says this boy mar
ried rich nurse.
One boy who studied to be a lawyer
lost his health after his graduation
from the University Of Minnesota law
school, so could not practice, and is
now employed as chief Of the Mime
sofa state fish and game commission,
with headquarters at st. Paul.
