K. 4 N. train No. II, westbound from
Spokane to Portland and ordinarily due
in Portland for breakfast, has been
stopped here the past week about 80
minutes each morning. The train was
crowded with hungry passengers Tues
Gay. Local eating places were taxed
to feed the hungry multitudes, and
some had to wait for secord tables.
lre last to get their short orders
filled were just poking down the re-
manning crumbs of hot cakes and the
last drops of coffee when the locomo.
tive whistled a warning and the con-
ductor shouted Boo !" For
an ordinary speed of pedestrians, the
grades. some of them snowcovered,
leading from the business district dowu
to the passenger station, are easily
negotiated. But Tuesday some of the
tardy passengers gained momentum as
they fled trainward, slipped in snow
slush and made the grades on back j.
bones or seated.
With the weather warmed to point
where out of door exercise was a
pleasure, Hood River folk, adults as
we'll as children, got their fill of coast
ing last week. The city council
adopted ruling prohibiting vehicle
traffic on State and Ninth streets dur
ing the hours of 5 and 10 p. M, and
the steep streets during these hours
were lined with flyers and big bob
sleds. Some of the big sleds carried
from IL to Is passengers and they
attained express speed down the long
slopes. Spills were frequent when
curves were reached.
Some of the larger sleds travelled
from the corner of Eugene and Ninth
streets to the centre of the new con-
crete bridge.
Residents of the Upper Valley, here
last week, tell of a strenuous trip made

whose place is at the edge of the ma

the storm came on, Mr. Rosebrough
made preparations to move out. He
started out in one of the heaviest snow
storms the district has ever expert
enced, and he and his team, blinded by
the snow, had difficulty in keeping the
road. Mr.. Rosebrough after II hours
of bufeting had made three miles.
He finally left his team and walking
to neighbors' secured help to return
and dig out the horses.

cheaply, and will serve the purpose,
provided the water is properly heated.
Water can be pumped from the well
directly into the basin. In order to
avoid heating the milk room and TO
do away with smoke and ashes. the
water heater should be placed immedi-
uteiy outside the milk room and, If ele-
waited. the water from it can be run

Some equipment is necessary in

One end of the vat can be used for

On every farm where as many as

ATTENTION TO EARTH ROADS

"More attention has got to be paid

opinion of Z. L. Stevens, inventor and
road expert Mr.. Stevens is, perhaps,
one Of the most unique characters in
the bodybuilding world. 4 graduate
civil engineer, he felt the tremendous
need for the perfection and develop

He stepped out from the promising
channels of the regular engineering
profession and went down almost be-
low the level of ordinary men to study
road building, says Rocky Mountain
News. He has made road building and
maintenance his life work and is now,
probably, as well qualified as any man
