The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1916-02-04

From time when the memory OF
the oldest inhabitant in this part of the
country runs not to the contrary a
snow storm began last Monday noon
and ended Wednesday night that for
precipitation has never been equaled.
For almost torty-eight hours snow fell
continually without moments let up.
The snow fall here from Monday noon
to Thursday night at IL, 90 hours, was
80 inches. In the same time the fall
at the summit, where the G. N. track
crosses the mountains, the fall was 288
inches. On Tuesday 8 feet of snow
fell in as many hours. Everett and
Seattle reported a snow fall Wednes-
day afternoon Of four feet, to which
another half foot was added the same
evening and night, which was followed
by rain. All over the western country
from southern Alaska to California the
earth was covered with a blanket Of
snow Of varying depth from one foot to
thirty feet. There is no record of any
such widespread snow storm since first
the weather bureau was established
forty years ago. Every transcontinen-
tai railroad was tied up from Monday
for periods OF time from two to five
days with the prospect that the Great
Northern will not be opened for travel
for the next four or five days, or from
Monday to Wednesday or Thursday Of
the coming week, with the possibility
that it may be tied up for ten days or
two weeks longer. 1t was storm OF
such unusual severity that there is no
way OF making comparisons or comput-
ing the time that will be required to
open the road. With the amount Of
snow in the hills the possibilities OF
slides of monster proportions develop
ing is great and there is no way at this
this time OF telling howing long it will
take to clear them up. The great
trouble just now with the railroad is to
find way OF wasting the snow that
must be plowed off the tracks. The
snow on each side of the track is in
many places thirty and forty feet high
and the snow plows are incapable OF
throwing the new snow high enough
to clear these banks.
The snow storm began just after the
longest cold spell of the winter-after
the thermometer had stood about zero
or 90 below for thirty days. The snow
now lies on the ground at this point to
a depth Of almost seven feet.
Conditions on the Northern Pacific
and the Milwaukee roads are almost as
desperate as On the Great Northern.
Since last Sunday the only communica-
ton between the east and west side Of
the mountains was by way OF the Spo-
kane. Portland and Seattle road, which
follows the bank Of the Columbia river,
and even this road was threatened with
n snow tie-up. The southern part OF
the state suffered almost as much as
the central and northern part OF the
state from this unprecedented storm.
1t is impossible for people living
more than a mile from town to get
here. There is no communication by
wagon load with any Of the towns down
N. valley. The Great Northern rail-
road is running one train day in
here from Spokane. Arriving here in
the evening at $50 and leaving in
the morning at $3.50. No train has
oone west from here since last Mon
day night at IL o'clock.
In round numbers there is million
acres Of land in the wenatches river

MUST TAKE TIME TO REST
Developments Of Bsauty Depends
Great Deal on That and on Ones
Environment.

1t cannot be impressed upon US toe
often that harmony of surroundings
Is absolutely necessary to the devel
opment. of beauty. 1t depends on the
soul quality for its inspiration and
growth. The soul quality dies unless
nurtured by such surroundings as are
pleasing.
Each personality must choose the col.
ors and shades that are most soothing
Every woman cannot have her home
decorated just as she wishes. But ev.
cry woman can have some one corner
that Is her own that is decorated In
the colors and with the things (they
may be very simple and inexpensive)
that appeal to her. When she is tired
let her go to this corner and find rest
there. reading her favorite authors,
looking at her favorite pictures, sew
ing, crocheting or sitting and thinking.
II it is impossible for such a corner
to be had, surely there Is some spot
Of the town or city, some library. mu
scum, church, park, some place where
she can find rest in the picture that
surrounds her.
Luxury. when you think of 1t, Is not
of necessity attractive. So often 1t is
in bad taste that the Joy comes often
in being able not to have to indulge
in 1t.
Most women are much more attrac-
tive at home. This Is because in the
setting of the things they love, which
are part of their personalities, they
are in repose. The woman who Is
beautiful under the glare of the sun
