schools.

breakdown of the northwest elec
trical power pool still threatened.
Power conservation measures
have been taken by industries and
residents.

communities, hard hit by ice

river.
Cold Stalls Traffic In
Lower Umpqua District
Cold weather the past few days
has resulted in frozen water pipes
in many homes in Reedsport and
Gardiner, while road conditions
in the vicinity were considered
dangerous enough so that school
buses operating to the Reedsport
and Gardiner schools were started
home early Monday afternoon to
avoid later Icy road surfaces.
Many cars have been stalled be
cause of slippery highways, the
worst places apparently being the
highway cut Just south of Reeds
port. There was a scum of ice on
upper Smith River Sunday night,
between North Fork and Sulpnur
Springs, and this got more solid
Monday night, and prevented the
mail and freight boat from com
pleting its run, the boat going
only as far as a point below the
Ralph Westenhlser ranch.
Captain Lawrence Noel op
erates the boat, which carries mall
and general freight to farmers In
that vicinity who have no other
way of getting or shipping freight.
