ROOFS CAVE IN,
CAUSING DAMAGE

Damage resulting from collapse of
buildings, their roofs caved in by bur-
den of snow, will run into the thou
sands of dollars. Monday reports from
all districts brought news of collapsed
barns and fruit packing sheds. The
worst damage occurred at Odell, where
the roof of grade school building,
constructed last summer at a cost of
approximately $25, 900. caved in. Those
who have witnessed the structure say
that the walls appear to have been
damaged.
A covered county bridge across the
east fork Of Hood river at Dee col
lapsed. A portion of the roof of the
Hood River Canning Company's plant
caved in. Heavy damage was incurred
by George Haslinger. whose Heights
Greenhouse was broken down by the
weight of snow.
Rail officials reported Monday that
no rail service could be expected for
week. Numerous heavy slides are re-
ported between here and Bridal Veil.
A rotary snowplow arrived here from
The Dalles Monday. but was halted at
Mitchells Point. Every cut is filled
with the flint-like snow, and at innu-
merable places the foadbed is covered
with deep masses of snow and rock
debris that will have to be shoveled
out by hand. A serious slide, it is
said, has swept down over the Column
bia River Highway and railroad at
Shell Rock mountain.
AT intervals a valley resident made
his way to the city Monday. All re-
ported that roadslides are lined with
abandoned automobiles.
Some here declare that the work of
clearing slides and debris from the Co
lnmba River Highway will require the
remainder of the winter and will result
in heavy cost to the state.

that it had received from affiliated

CANNING COMPANY
SHIPS TO EUROPE

The Hood River Canning Co. will
make its initial shipment of canned
apples to Europe this season on the S.
S. Woodarra, due to sail from Port
land this week. The consignment of
fruit, which is a substantial one. will
90 forward TO the consumer under the
brand Of the local canning company.
which has built up a demand for its
products that bids fair to compare fa-
vorably with that of the Hood River
Newtown in the European trade. The
shipment is the first the canning com
pany has ever made direct from Port
land, to Europe. by way of the Panama
canal.
The local canning concern packs its
apples by varieties, just as the grower
packs them in boxes. 1t specializes on
Newtowns and Spitzenburgs. and sells
under these varieties.

Hood River families will have few

Indeed, with the meat supply run

hardships on all dairymen. Mrs. T. j.
Mills and her young sons, aided by an
other hoy, were kept in a feverish ac-

be shoveled off and the cows had to be
watered with pals. The boys in the
evening attempted to make deliveries
of milk with bobsled, but this was
found a physical impossibility. Milk
was sent out to families with children.
