us to live in the same house with
FIlis' father and w.e decided to mcve
and had rented a home in Portland."
declared Mrs. Bingham.
' We had stared to move and the
old man became very angry. He Ml
not want us to leave him. I nusrreled
with bin: and he took the shotgiiii and

Wind Storm Damage
Heavy Around Sandy
SANDY, Dec. 5. The wind storm
last week was the worst out here for
a long time. Trees fell dangerously
near several people passing along on
the roads and four trees blocked the
road from the Pizola' place to Lohr
mann's. R. Kaiser, Sandy cream haul
er had to leave his team at Lohr
mann's and walk home. A large tree
fell across John Mitchell's chicken
house and killed two dozen of his
fancy Leghorn hens. A limb fell among
a bunch of Sandy school children but
did not happen to hurt any one. A
heavy rain acocmpanied most of the
storm which lasted over two hours and
put out the electric lights and broke
down the telephone lines in every dir
ection.
The Sandy river was almost as high
again last week as whenhe approach
went out on the pipe-line bridge. This
bridge was so badly damaged that a
new structure was considered. The
water washed in under the timbers,
and the soil is full of a soap-stone com
position that it is said to be a dnger
Ous proposition to try to repair it as it
was, but it has been decided to erpair
it with a new SO foot approach.
Postmaster General
Urging Early Mail
SANDY, Dec. 5. A letter re
ceived by our local Postmaster, C- D.
Purcell from Will Hays, Postmaster
General, says he wants to enlist the
service of every boy and girl in the
schools of the country to help in get
ting Xmas parcels mailed at once; for
if they do not Uncle Sam's load will be
so heavy he cannot get around by
Xmas eve with all the presents. He
says that one family in every ten puts
in a package so badly tied up that it
has to be "done over." It takes four
extra clerks at the Portland post office
to re-tie and address packages all of
the time, which makes four extra sal
aries for taxpayers to pay. Tie up
your packages securely, address them
clearly and mail at once is the advice
of the postmasters.
