Silos are coming into such I'm

feed situation that one farmer even
wanted TO know how he could move
a concrete sllo instead OF building
another.
Extremely dry weather and the

duce the amount of hay and other
forage that are normally stored for
winter live stock consumption. But

business If the prisoners were brought
to them. Transfer of the parole can

Newest Sciences to
Ancient Custom.

When the voices of the Passion
Players of Oberammergau, Germany,
went ION the air" recently, one Of
the newest sciences - radio - was
linked to an ancient village that is
celebrating the 30oth anniversary of
a sacred play. This unique play has
been performed every 10 years in
fulfillment of a vow.
Hundreds of thousands of travellers
from all over the world since 1884
have visited Oberammergau, but their
comings and goings have had little
effect on the village" says a bulletin
from the headquarters of the Ma
tional Geographis Society. Its $500
inhabitants carry on the arts. crafts
and traditions of their forefathers.
"Oberammergau lies in the Ammer
Valley between the slopes of the
Bavarian Alps in the extreme south
ern portion of Germany, not more
than 10 miles from the Austrian
border. Giant Kopel peak stands
guard over the village.
Outcome of Terrible Plague.
"The play and, therefore, Oberam-
mergau'S fame is the outcome OF a
terrible plague, which swept down on
the village in 1882. 1t was brought
by one Kasper Schisler, a native of
the village, who was employed in the
neighboring hamlet of Eschenlohe.
Schisler, though dying with the
plague, dragged himself over the
mountain passes to see his wife and
children.
During the Fall of that year and
until the Summer of the next, the
plague took a toll of 48 lives. The vii
lage elders, the Council of Six and
Council of Twelve met in the parish
church to consider what could be
done. They vowed to keep the trag-
edy of the passion every 10 years.
1t is reported that from that hour
no one died of the plague in Oberam-
mergau. In 1884 the villagers pre-
sented the first Passion Play.

"The village theater, seating over

Visiting Boat Wrecked
 In Portland C a n a l

Charles E. Grove and wife, who visited Stewart recently in their motorboat La Boheme. met disaster in the lower reach es of Portland Canal after leaving here on January 2, ac- cording to press reports from Prince Rupert this week.
 Several days after their de- parture the vessel developed engine trouble and was driven ashore on Wales Island, at the entrance to the Canal, where it pounded to pieces on the rocks.
 Following the wreck, Grove and his wife lived with Indian trappers for several weeks be- fore being picked up by Matt hew Johnson, who conveyed them to Port Simpson. They were forced to stay there until last week before an opportun- ity to reach Prince Rupert ap- peared. The couple suffered no i'll effects from their experi- ence. Grove is said to be travelling for a Vancouver bus mess house.
