Several people who were caught
in Nogale canyon subsequently died
from exposure, and when we came
through, eight days later, some of
them we're still there, i'll with pneu-
monia. They shovelled their way out
ultimately, the majority of them, and
we passed over this road where the
snowbanks were some -four or FIVE
feet deep above the top of the car.
another man that we heard of was
frozen for three days at the wheel of
his EAR. 1t wa know that he was
there but it was not possible to get to
his assistance.
1.-THE southern roads are full Of
tourists either going or returning from
California. They have heard of the
cheap living and high wages and many
of them have just funds enough to
get there with little or no provisions
for delays and accidents. When any
thing goes wrong, bad roads-and
there are plenty of them-it certain
ly is expensive.

Perhaps the persons who object to
the Stampede would like to substitute
a croquet tournament.
Here and there we read the solemn
announcement, as if there was specia,
Importance attached to the fact, that
the Ku Klux Hammers, robed in white
have performed some charitable act
AS yet we have not been able to see
why anyone should feel that he had
to put on a mask to give a basket OF
groceries to a widow or $50 to a
preacher.
While the plumber was busy with
his blow-torch last Tuesday and we
sat in our mittens perusing the news
papers, we enjoyed reading about the
rose tournament in Pasadena, Cali
fornia, where, according to the report
err, "a warm sun out of a cloudless
blue sky beamed upon a gorgeous
moving garden of millions of cut
flowers. at was a rude shock to be
recalled from a contemplation of this
picture by the matter-of-fact an
nouncement: "Say, your radiator is
busted"
The news that the Passion Players
of Oberammergau are coming to Am
erica to sell their wood carvings has,
with truth, been called the most amaz
ing pilgrimage of the century. Only
those who have seer these simple,
honest people in their little village
high up in the Bavarian Alps can re-
alize how great must be the necessity
which drives them to take this step.
The depreciation of the German
mark has ruined them and they are
coming 5000 miles to sell their han
diwork that they may produce their
play in 1880. They have refused
100000 for the film rights of the Pas
sian play because they felt it would
be a sacrilege to allow it to be pre-
scented on the screen. By so doing
they have retained what they always
have had, the respect of the whole
world.
The tourist towns of America might
well profit by the example set by these
simple folk. An overcharge is I'M
heard of in Oberammergau. The most
cosmopolitan place oil earth when the
play is on, princes, grand dukes, mil
tionaires, Cooks tourists and school
ma'ams skimping through Europe on
their savings are treated alike. They
have one scale of prices from which
there is no deviation and a citizen
who took advantage of a strangers
necessity to gouge would be everlast-
ingly d~isgraced.

Public improvements r. a good

should ask yourself the same question
that you ask when you are considering

that you al afford the public i'm

you get your moneys worth, for you

Shoshone canyon where permission
from the government has bee nobtain-

The exact site will not be known
until Mr.. Ross arrives. The statue

desirable, in order to get a broader
sweep, to purchase additional land
west of town which is owned by the
Lincoln Land company and Mr..

Weather Brings Death and Suffering to
Unprepared Motorists

w. S. Owens, who came home from
his motor trip to the coast by way OF
Arizona and New Mexico, gives q
graphic account of the blizzard, un-
precedented in that section, which
trapped 800 tourist cars in Nogale
canyon in the latter state.
at came suddenly, like n of those
Texas "Northers," a binding snow
with a tempature of 8 below zero.
They could not get ahead and they
could not get back, so they camped
and resorted to every desperate mea-
sure to keep from starving and freez-
ing.
"Three hundred cars, representing,
conservatively, six or seven hundred
people. Their supplies were soon ex-
hausted and they ate a burro, a horse
and a COW during their Imprisonment.
They burned their oil and gasoline
and everything about their cars that
they could spare, tires, seats, etc.
Near Deming a man caught out burn
ed a brand new Cadillac, starting with
tires, until there was nothing left but
the metal. Another party did the
same thing with their machine and so
saved their lives.
"One family of four or five per-
sons pitched their tent and dug a hole
some four feet deep inside it, covered
it over and crawled in and stayed
there for several days. They suffered
terribly but lived through it.

Faithful Horse Buried
Under Hot House Floor

A Cody landmark was removed
when Belle" the faithful black mare
which has drawn 2. Ross vegetable
wagon for so many years died last
week at the nge of 25. She was given
a decent buriel in a deep grave under

half feet long by four feet and weighs
about 400 pounds. The base itself is
to be about 16O feet in length by ap-
proximately 80 feet wide and is feet
high. The general scheme is to make
the base a replica of Cedar mountain
which Colonel Cody, it will be remem

There will be a gradual slope up to
an abrupt precipice of granite. The
engineering and construction work
will be done by Kimball G. Kimball,
