When the keel is finished and the vessel gets to the point where a full force can work the yard will be employing about 40 men on the job. The company has a very favorable chance it is said, of scouring a second ship to build for .the Charles Nelson company, and before the summer breaks Kruse & Banks will probably have the yard running at full capacity. Unprecedented solicitude for food less birds is reflected in the state press, the following, from the Rose burg Review, being only a specimen item: "As a result lof the unusual cold weather that has prevailed in Oregon during the past few weeks, many people took upon themselves the burden of providing wheat for the iirds. This was especially true of the children who in some Instances' placed sacks of wheat where it could be found Ty the birds." Albany Herald: A car loaded with 4 tons of flour was shipped from the . Tied Crown mill of this city to New York yesterday. A. W. Bowersox, manager of the mill, says that this is the first time in 17 years that ne has been in the business in this city that such a shipment has been made to New York. He says big shipments have een made to various other parts of the world,1 however. I have good reason to. remember the ' date.

The cold est weather reported was 40 below ero." A tragic incident of this 1861 storm is also , told by Mr. Walker. Grant County at the time was the placet' miners' Mecca, and a few days before the commencement of the snowfall 16 miners started out from their claims for The Dalles.
