reported resting quite comfortably.
Mrs. G. f. Bowerman is now able to
be about the house and satisfactory i'm

H. S. Caughey reports the greatest
measured depth of recent snow 81
inches. He believes several inches
could have been added to measurement
il taken just before the sleet of Sunday
morning. Men were busy with shovels
and great quantities of snow was re-
moved from roofs of buildings. Only a
few instances have been reported where
sheds gave way. One of these was the
shed at the Hicks planer. where the
motor was buried under snow and tim
bers. M. l.. Fagaly, of the company,
went over Monday morning and did the
necessary clearing away.
School was suspended from Wednes-
day of last week until "Wednesday of this
week. There we're 70 services at either
church Sunday.
One case of illness was reported and
as the location was an isolated point on
the mountain southwet of Odell, men
broke the way ard brought the woman
who was i'll, out on hand sled.
As your correspondent was not pres.
ent members of the girls basket ball
team of Odell handed in the following
report of the game.
The first practice game of the season
between H. R. II. S. and y. II. S. girls
and boys was we'll attended considering
the weather. Fl. R. II. S. teams came
out in bob sleds and big fire awaited
them at the gym. Both o. h. 5. teams
were very much under the weather as
a result of dance lasting until the wee
hours of Saturday morning, but the
Odell boys, with their usual ingenuity,
captured the game by walk over.
The Odell girls. although they lack
practice and training, possess ali unus-
ual amount of skill and promise to be a
coming team in the future when they
get their real team together along with
good coach and few 1916 rules. Be-
cause of the lack of coaching and
knowledge of rules Fl. X. H. s. referee
called fouls repeatedly during the first
half of the game. In the last half the
y. II. S. girls had learned from expert
ence of first half and held so well tina.
h. R. H. S. girls won no more baskets.
Score l2-4 in favor b. R. H. s. girls
1T favor o. H. S. boys. Come
again, Hood River.
Mail has been uncertain within the
past week, although since O.-W. R. 4
N. trains succeeded in escaping the
snow blockade and began bringing mail
into Hood River Saturday, some means
have been provided whereby the major
ity of residents of Odell and vicinity
have received mail daily except SUN
day. Tuesday the Mount Hood R. R.
was still blockaded, the heavy grades
and cuts making the opening of this
road rather difficult matter.
Carriers No. and failed to come
out Monday because of the icy coating
all over the roads Monday morning, but
the sun shone bright and warm and
softened crust and melted snow all
through the day and warm weather
continued Tuesday.
We suppose the usual announcements
may be made for both churches, viz
