BEDDING PEOPLE
 DIG SELVES OUT
 OF SNOW BANKS

Bedding, March 11-With the start made on Sunday by the exertions of a good part of the population in snow shovelling the main thorough fares had mostly been cleared for travel by Monday night. Some of the less important ones will probably be left to thaw out. Saturday morn ing's blizzard not only filled up the lanes previously made through the snow banks, but piled up huge drifts in places that had been free from them. A resident of the north slope of Sunset Hill drove through to the Ridge section Monday forenoon being able to do so only by picking a devious route through the fields The work of once more digging out the wide stretch of road across the hill was not started until yesterday. With a team of four horses and a force of men, B. B. Banks succeeded in working his way on Sunday from Georgetown nearly to the Ridge. The storm made the mail service partial and irregular for several days ht1t each of the carriers did all that could be expected under the circumstances and by special effort succeeded in making a fairly complete distribution in the localities where their horset could not go. Between West Red.
 ding and the east side several of the large telephone poles were broken, but the resulting breaks in phone communication was surprisingly slight, being less, in fact, than some 1 times follows an ordinary thundef l storm. The cost to the town ot 1 road clearing from this last storm
 will add several hundred dollars to l Ehe $500 already paid, a record ex- 1 naOdjtIJra fn1- DurnOSH.
