There was just as much, and perhaps more of a snowfall than there is now, al- thouph nt. tha anrliar date the snow fall may have been longer in coming. When the trains were finally balked there was not a wheel moved for about a month. But the conditions for railroad oper ating were much different from the present. The rails reached La Grande in June 1884. Then the track was pushed on to Baker and finally to Huntington that same year. The road was new and there were no rotary plows in those days. Snow was bucked from the track by means of an engine rigged with a "plow" in front and with several engines coupled on behind to do most" of the pushing. There was no man irom any direction ana no rail road traffic of any kind, but the peo ple had scarcely becomo so accustomed to depending on the railroad and the inconvenience on account of the block ade was not particularly noticeable. News of Twenty-four Years Ago John Daly, the contractor, has fin ished plans and estimates for A. C. Huntington's new building on Adams avenue. A fire was discovered in the base ment of the new high school building Tuesday. Help jimmediately arrived and the flames were extinguished without much damage. The .I'ire is supposed to have been strated by some one of the young pupils. (The "high school building" was the old white structure long since abandoned for school purposes.) La Grande has a new club tho "wel come. It s object is to ennble the old pioneers and those who have arrived more recently to become acquainted with each other and to promote a bet ter and more social state of society. Association does more to make men better and broader than anything else. Mrs. Lon Cleavor entertained mem bers of the Whist club at her residence Tuesday evening. Among those pres ent were Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Graham, Mr. and Mrs. E. S. McComas, Mr. and Mrs. N. J. Crain, Mr. and Mrs. Jasper H. Stevens, Mr. and Mrs. G. Pennel, Mr. and Mrs. H. W.

I rie Burford set aside the decree of divorce granted to Arhur Burford from the petitioner on Jan. 8 of this year. Attached to the petition was an affidavit by Mrs. Burford showing tho l.itent of her husband to secure a di vorce and marry Georgia Lawrenco at Caldwell, which shows that he com mitted perjury in swearing that re hud never been married before. The order setting aside the divorce also gives Mrs. Burford possession of certain checks and money received in the mail addressed to her husband after he left Baker. Not a word as to Burford's where abouts has been learned by the local Authorities, and as the Sun Francisco police have not found mint in that city, the theory that his story of poing to Honduras via. Frisco was a febrication to throw the officers off the right track grows stronger. Idle Horses in Winter At this time of the year, practically all heavy work on most farms has been finished, and -with the approach of winter, horses are more or less idle. Since idle horses give no return in la bor performed, the feeding should bo as economical os possible, and proper care should be aken of horses in hin condition in order that they may be in the best possible condition for work in the early spring. . Horsese should no be confined to the barn during the winter, on n lib eral supply of grain. It is far better to "rough" them through the cold months. They., should be given the run ; J of the lot or yard during the day. This j should be provided with a protected' shed, one that is thoroughly dry andjj well provided with bedding. While na- I ture docs her pprt and protects the horse with n heavy cout of hair (luring the cold months, the shed is necessary in order to afford the necessary shel ter and protection against rains, snow and cold winds. Winter; winds come mostly from the northwest, and the "hod should be so situated and con structed as to give the proper protec tion from this quarter. In the feeding of idle horses, the high-priced feeds should be avoided, in ; order to keep them in proper condition at the lowest cost. It has been found that idle horses fo very well on at win- ter feed consisting of all the hay.oat straw, cornstalks, or sorghums they will consume, so that little grain is nceessary. Idleness also permits of a j more thorough mastication of the j feed, thus insuring proper digestion, i From six to eight weeks before the spring work is started, the horses shoud be put at light work aad started I on a small grain ration, in order that i they may be in proper condition for the work required of them. The grain ration, may then be gradualy be in creased until the regular allowance has been reached for the working sea son. - Growing colts require considerable protein. They should be so fed as to secure proper devolenment and at a minimum cost. Rough feed such as clean mixed 'hay, alfalfa, or clover may be fed along with a mixture of bran, oats, and corn.
