Drifting Isew and Bitter Cold Trial
a End era see .t Physical
Strength, Writes Wossaa.
The Spring weather which Is prevail
ing in Oregon at the present time la
contrasted with the cold, wintry cli
mate of the Kant In a letter received
by John A- Keating, president of the
Lumbermen Trust Company, from his
mother. Mrs. M. A. Keating, who lives
In Muskegon, Mich.
"This Winter, with Its drifting snows
and Arctic cold. Is a trial on endurance
of physical strength and the palpita
tions of the family purse. she writes.
"Again we are In the throes of a blis
sard. the drifts are at an unbelievable
height and the mercury Is at sero. The
wind howl around our house, while
the paths that were shoveled a half an
hour ago are again filled. The streets
are deserted and all traffic has ceased.
No trains, either steam or electric, are
operating, and I am sure the streetcars
are not running. No autos are able to
push through the snows and a few
horses are trying In a laborious way
to draw a limited amount of coal to
those who are without fuel. Our sup
ply still holds out. in spite of the heavy
demands upon it. and I trust the situa
tion will change before pur bins are
empty.
"Our hearts are filled with sympathy
for the poor, with !ielr porous houses
and little with which to get fuel. We
are warm and comfortable. Why try to
draw a picture of the snow? We read
there was one street In Shelby that
had a drift clear across It ten feet
high, and that -?as before this blizxard
of the last 24 hours.
"The snow in places la four .r five
feet higher than the rail of the piaxxa:
now fancy what that Is from the ground
level. The dining-room court Is won
derful, with the clapboards nearly cov
ered with a fine snow down to the
embankments, which In places reach
half way up the windows, while the
white stretches out unobstructed until
we catch a glimpse of the top of the
hlKh alley fence. Then above, the air is
white with the fast-falling flukes, like
a delicate veil between heaven and
earth. It Is most beautiful, so beauti
ful I would you all might see for your
selves.
