the weather that makes huge fires en
Joyrble and renders us doubly grate

of fuel, the only great luxury which,
In these days, even on the ranches,
is cheap. In all homes when the open
fireplace Is found the ruddy blaze
that drives dull care away is main
tained by materials that the rancher
is glad to get out of his way.

Old Settlers Sav
Worst in History
Many of the oldest settlers of
ClackaYnas county have expressed
themselves on the present storm and
say it Is the heaviest they have ever
experienced.
Mrs. Max Ramsby, residing in the
Dickey prairie section for 40 years. In
formed the Enterprise over the tel
ephone Wednesday morning that this
was the worst etorm she had seen.
Dickey prairie is a few miles beyond
Molaila, and Is somewhat protected
from the gale that was raging at Mo
laila Wednesday evening. There were
no drifts like there were in other sec
tions of the county, but on the level
the snow measured about 35 Inches
Her son, Chauncey Ramsby, says
the snow is about up to his neck, and
he is not able to walk In the deep
snow, but Just waddle in order to get
through. He was busy rounding up
his cattle Tuesday and Wednesday
and had them all safely housed. Rams
by was former county recorder of
Clackamas county, and Is finding out
that farming in Clackamas county like
It Is today is not what it is cracked
up to be, although be has had much
experience in that line.
In Molaila business Is practically
at a standstill. No trains are being
operated over the Willamette Valley
Southern railway or by the Southern
Pacific. Snow is piled high, and
many of the drifts are about four and
five feet deep. This Is one of the
worst storms, If not the worst ex
perienced by these people. The tele
phone service Is In excellent condi
tion, and is really the only thing In
operation. The snow is two feet on
the level.
The little settlement of Beaver
Creek i receiving Its share of snow
and wind. The wind blew a gale on
Tuesday, freezing vegetation, and af
ter the snow started to come dowu
Monday evening this continued until
late Wednesday.
Great banks of snow are seen on
all sides, and the drifts are the worst
ever seen there. By Wednesday
evening the snow had attained a
depth of over two feet, but this has
not affected the telephone service,

CUwhnmas county Is experiencing
one of the hitavlost snow storms for
many years, wotne of the oldottt set
tlor having resided In Clackuma
county for over 40 years, say nothing
has ever been seen here to comparn
with It. Easterners having nrrlvml
here during the summer and fall have
exclaimed, "I thought you Oivamtlnnt
d'd not have any snow,"
Among tho famlllos having mitdo
their former" homes lu the east and
whore they have experienced snow
storm such as we ore having now,
are delighted. One family, Mr. and
Mrs, Ii J. Itgeson, whose home Is on
Twelfth and Washington streets, said
to some Oregonlans this , morning:
"We are tickled to death to see this
snow. It reminds ua of our old home
In Minnesota," but there are othtrs
v. ho are not tickled, for some of our
home are not bullt for this weather.
Although It was somewhat difficult
for the peoplo to gr.t to their places
of employment, and yet there were
many Incidents occurred during the
morning that wa laughable. A num
ber of these were those who were
employed In the court house, who
wero anxious to be at their post of
duty on time. Miss Otia. Renner. In
the tax department of the sheriff's
office, had endeavored to bo the first
one on "deck." Residing on Eighth
and John Adam streets, the snow was
knee. deep on the sidewalk, and nc
trail had been broken there. Her bro
ther, a school boy, but a itx-footer
and how he can stride with those long
legs had hit upon a ptaa la order to
aid his sister to get to Seventh street,
where the road was somawbai clear.
Ho suggested that he wslk ahead,
and she follow, stepping Into tho
places where his feet had made an
Impression. She attempted to follow,
but coulil, not meet the strides attend
of her. A second suggestion was
made by the brother, when It was
planned that they return to the port h
and she mount on hi shoulders so
that he could carry her safely over to
Seventh street. This was entirely sat
Isfactory to the fair sister until the
brother started out with the loud on
his shoulder. Kenneth endeavored
to hit the mark made by his fuel on
the first Journey, but the precious
losd on hi shoulders wa too much
to make the big, gallant strides, and
the first thing he did wa to take t
"header," throwing hi sister bend
foremost Into one of the big drift
near "a fence. Both covered with
snow, they gained their footing and
decided they would "bit the trull" the
host they could unassisted, and Miss
Renner appeared at the office some
what fatigued, but only half an hour
late.
Miss Lou Cochran, deputy county
recorder, whose home hi at Twelfth
and Washington streets, was the next
victim to have a fall while on her way
to the court house. In passing the
Twelfth street hill, she fell and start
ed rolling, continuing In the "wonder
ful" flight until she had struck an ob
stacle and was able to grab hold of
tho railing, thus preventing her from
being pitched over the precipice on
Railroad avenue. At Tenth and Main
streets she wss Joined by Mis Evelyn
Harding and Miss Frances Rowland,
both on their way to the court house
Wading waist deep Into the snow,
they snw a small black object several
blocks away and upon their arrival
st that point found It to be Miss Al

across the street and climbing over
hanks of snow.

make n path, but Gilbert Noe, who Is
lucky In having long legs, decided to
walk ahead and make the path. This
second Invitation, too, was accepted.

to gain an entrance Into the office
and allow other employes to proceed
