will be on his way. Officers will re-
main here for several days finishing up
the business Of the camp.

MIR. PEDDIC0RD HAS
THRILLING EXPERIENCE

No Hood River man experienced
greater hardships during the snow
storm of last week than did l.. B. Ped
dicord, rancher, whose place is on the
upper west fork Of Hood river at its
confluence with the lake branch. On
the Sunday morning after the storm
began Mr.. Peddicord left his place
with two horses and several head of
cattle. 1t was late that evening be-
fore he reached the home of L. J.
Wood, Dee Flat rancher. Both Mr..
Peddicord and his horses were totally
exhausted.
The rancher left his animals and
proceeded on toward town. He met
his most thrilling experiences on a
half mile of the river road, connecting
the Summit district with the main
highway at fuckers Bridge. The high
way parallels the Hood river gorge.
Drifts had entirely covered the grade,
leaving slope of over As degrees.

Geo. W. Baker, who has been on the
ranch with him, followed him down as
far as Dee Flat with some cows. The
latter sustained frosted foot.
A seven-weeks old calf was in the
herd driven by Mr.. Baker. The little
animal, according 10 Jne story JOld by
Mr.. Baker, was exceedingly game. 1t
finally grew so exhausted that Mr..
Baker had to help it to its feet fres

stand, and the driver was forced to
abandon it about a mile from the home
of w. F. Shannon, where Mr.. Baker
sought refuge. The calf was given
up, but the next day it appeared at the
Shannon barn, bawling for it's mother.
1t had recuperated and had followed
down the trail.
