Orcgonian, Jan. 8th. In writing, now that it is all over, about the experience of the put three weeks, there is little to tell ef general fact concerning th- blv.-k&de, tho work of rising it, the rescuers with food, etc. What remains to tell, after all that has been printed from day to day, while the public RympathyatrinlttLinJvroraanJ anj.cvon some oH.v:Guld dividual were eagerly reading every word, is the story of each day's inci dent, and such other oddr and bits as have not yet been served np to those interested. The bra"e men of the Cascade locks have had recognition, the state of the thermometer Jias been elal oratory set forth; everybody knows that a hun dred and fifty people wpre caught in ths snow, and held three weeks; every body knows that all thssa people, as well at these held back by tha block ado, though not actually in drifts, are now rejoicing at their delivery. It only remains to give the recerd of each day in order to shew how we all livsd under circumstances so new, strange and uncarafortable, Ihe following record is cot long drawn. It was written with csld fingers, and barely serves to recall ths happenings, small and great; in the or der of thoir occurrence. If anything marfsoem too trifling to be dignified by print, my excuse must ba that it all seemed either strikingly disagreeable or else drell enough to entertain: Wednesday, Dec 17. At nooa .we arrived at TiieD-illas from 'he' east, having toiled along all night, and found the snow very heavy from Uma tilla junction, w'rere the train waited a long time for the Short Lir.e connec tioit. We hopeful! availed the smok ing, dinner al the Umatilla house, aud found the snow a cause for jokes and rallies, norer thinking far a moment that it would worry us so sorely and so long. After dinner tin passengers were bundled inle; the cars and the train pulled out upon the high trestle, everyousj mornentarilr expecting to come on toward Portland. , We could get no information; nu 'one could get back to the hotel: it was exasperating totkoie who wanted to be moving about. Probably mors than one rest less soul burned to beguilo the time at the billiard table, and regretted thft impossibility sf spending money. Certainly th crowd, whe pulled back at tupper time, was in a bad humor. It was not then known whether or not we were t move out, thoujh Conduct or Lyon told us btforo bedtime- that we would not go till morniasj. The aveeing was given to pool playing by some, while others goasipped around the stove until all went to bed oa the car. It was our last pleasant evening, and we growled as math in the en joyment of it as we did when the real troub'o began. The American traveler can ill brook dfloy, and tho American gfawIcT will rjrowl as heartily over a day as he cin over three weeks. Thursday, 18th It still snowed as we pullvd out from The Dalles at 6:40, with a mw plow aud three locsiuo tives hauling car train. Doubts had crept into usme minds, but all were tolerably cheerful as wo rolled with a muffled sound through the fluffy snow, suro that the snow plow as gaing along ahead of us and believing that we ahould follow it to Portland. Hood rivar was passed all right, and at Yiriito word came that the plow was at Wytth. Still merri.y rolled we on for two miles, when, suddenly there was a throb and a shock, and a grnrr al getting up to see what baa happen ed. It was an avalanche, and both engines wera imatherrd in a snow bank that went spilling itself over the trps of the boilers. It was a bad loak out, but ths shovels were put to work and we were told that soon the ob stacls would be out of tha way. It was ten o'clock when tba snow slide caught the engine, and tha snow was bath falling and driftiag so that the afternoon's work amounted to little and resulted in nothing. A box ef bread and meat, which Lyons bad put on at The Dalle, was distributed at dark to tho hungry crowd. Lyons and Wallace started down the road, and nearly avsrybody went to bed wonder ing hat would happen next. Tha car was sot yet cold, and so, with cigars and story telling, the night wore on with thoso who hoped, and waited, and watched. Friday, 19. Still snowing. Te-day we had one m-al. It was brenlgat on a sled from Hood river. The men came nine miles and arrived at 2 o'clock in the acrnoon. This one meal brought b theni consisted of two biscuits apiece .d a small chunk of meat furnished by a hog whose misfor tune it was to be in Hood river at this lime. The fat mrat would have dis gusled anybody but a hungry man or net eat it. I think tlm ai one of the hungriest days; so it may be seen that there' was no intense suffering from hunger. It is not pleasant to have one tueal a day, and this is some thing one dots not relish; but the difl- erence between starving and eating one meal a day u as great as that between the sun and moon. Lyons returned from Wyeth, but wo tauld learu noth ing definiU. Saturday, 20. Still Snowing. We hear that a snow-plow is coming from The Dalles, and this is oar daily in stallment of hope. Yesterday it was somewhat whispered about in tha tram that there was om2 meat in the ex press car consigned to somebody down the road. The expressmen, faithful to their charges, had been denying this, but when it came to absolute hunger, with the children crying and the grown up kickers kicking, thay weakened, and there was a greedy break for the meat. It was found that there wa3 a quarter of beef and one mutton carcass, as well as some fifty jackrabits. Im migrants aud all hands made a break for that meat aud shortly fires argre blazing where the snow had been dug .way, and the cooking went forward. What would have lasted three days was now consumed in cne, and those who growled most hid away for to morrow tho largest pieces of meat. A few more men went down the road today, and when Lyons (jam t bactwej learned that there- were elevnn crippled Hngiues fcatterd alon;; within the fourteen mile immediately seuthof u. The coal gave out to-day, and it is ex plainad to us that the ppein tho cars are charged with salt aiid-water to run tun days; therefore we may net nspe for -any more warmth. The stovei, which must no be frd with wood, are boxed up. in the end on the car and shed no warmth beyond the rue lined box nithin which they ar confined. At night Mr. Ilouser, the gsod natur ed oonimeroi.il man, gave the ladies a tea party out of his sa.tiple cae, and all went to bed so much the warmer or a very cold night. Sunday 21. This, is our first Sab bath in tha snow bank and we have two preachers oh the train. The one in the emigrant car made a pious talk, I am told, while the one in the sleeper, notbiing sufficiently encouraged and not wishiug to force the matter beyond the majority desire, was content to help a'ong soma gospel singing late in the evening. A few more men started down tha toad, and tha business ef wallowing through the snow shoulder dep to cut wood brcame a serious matter. Some of the passengers felt like holding an indignation meeting. They had worked themselves into a xtati of miud in which they thought ther had been neglected. They began to boil with the noliou that somebody was tr)ing to freeze and starve them, and that the railroad authorities were "Doth incompetent and iudiOVrent to their fate. They were not a bad lot of fellows, but they were looking at a bad ptospect, and when they sent for ma to draw op some resolutions of indigna tion, I did not feel hard about it that they looked upon me as an "accomplice of the enemy," because I ried to show them that thoir proposed course would be wholly ineffective, even supposing it were not unreasonable. They had gone far enough already to set the gentle Mrs. Russell (whoe baby wa. sick) arying; and soma others of tha ladies went into centers to hide their tears. There was Mrs. Fitch, hurry ing to catch the boat for San Francis co to jsin her sick husband in southern California, and thtra the shrinking Mrs. Macken, so anxious to meet her husband in Portland she had not seen for two years. It was no won Jer they felt "blue." Somehow tie "iudigna tion meeting broke up," and it is pleas ant U think that the "indijnators" are still my friends and believe that ray fatalism is as good as their anxiety. Lyons has so overexerted himself by going and coming in the mow, that he is in bed with a chill. He stood out in a snow bank on the pcint behiK'd us to Sag the plow wo had reason to think was coming, and it abont used him up. He used a pistil, knowing that in bucking snow the engine ceuld be brought to a halt onl; by souad. With Laous sick, it ii no wonder the the women and children i;et down hearted. Te day a raid is made n a lot of eastern oysters in cans; and, after tba waste of meat yesterdsy, a commusary is established, so that no one gta more than another,. Triors is one can of oysters for each two people, and without knives, forks or spoon, a supper is made. A little salt is all the seasoning, but they are good. The front engine, out of fuel and water, "died" to day. Monday, 22. Tho storm is worse than ever, and all tie work dont hith eito was undone last night. Ten or twelve men started down the road thi morning, among them Houser, Holmes LGrandoand Kercheval. At noon a toboggan load of food from Hood River arrived, aad at 3 in the. afternoon thirty five men from the Cascades came in with thirty pounds eacV of bread, flour and canned goods. Some of the brave fellows are neirlj froz8n,yet we caa but remark, what a fine lot of men tbey are. Most of them are hardy salmon fiahers whe, in the fishing sea son, go out in tho breakers in small boats, and risk their lives daily. Two fell by tha way, anrt are laid up at Wyeth. Lyons uees. that there is some awaiting ahead of us, and going through ths train announces in etch car that every able bodied man must get ready to walk to the C-iscades in the mornmg. Ihis order creates some consternation, but all see the jus tice of ii; for none can expect men tu face the storm and bring food to such aaroable to go find get what they want. The women feel badly to see the men Eoaetar, Gtrapjielland Place, are. doing the cooking andjdistributisg of ilia rations. The stove in the baggige car ii good enough to fry bacon, even upon the bare top of it. Tuesday, 23 This is the morning" of the great exodus. Same sixty men got ready to accompany tha thirty &o rescuers, and we all turn outaarly to help them tip up their feet in gunny sack, pieces of blanket and towels. The bellrope of ths car is taken and untwisted for string, and we are busy for an hour getting thom off. All ar brave, but we hato to sea Newkirk, de licate as a woman, Car J well, with luir bago, Galbraith, who soems nothing bat nerve, and Cullen raised in Geor gia, go forth. Yot they will net stay back. Stanborry's voice gets trma lous a he thinks of his onn lung, but he pushes on to tee his faiuily, from which ha ha been separated several weeks. There is one woman who i bound to 'go a Swede, v. ho is hand tome and hardy but tha conductor sets his foet down that she shall not, which is right; for, strong aud hearty as she is, it is clear that the snow and ice would soon weigh down her skirts and mako travel impossible. It is curious to see her sulk about it, sit with a newspaper over her head and refuse breakfast. Presently Lyons comes in and leaning back to contain pinta her, says in his hearty way, "Well, Princes Louise, if you are bound to go. come along with me, but dresi like a man." Hereafter she will be known as "The Prncrss." There are fivo young married coaples on the train thrte in tho Bleeping cars and two among the emigrants. Tilden of G Jdondale, an'd Baale of Pendleton, leave their young wives in thi frozn honeymoon, and go with the others. I am left with the cripplts, tha weno en, ths children and the old men. We havo two moderate rations to day, and towaras night, Mr. Hobart, master mechanic of the road, comtsdown from above. He tells us that he will reach us with bis snow plow and men and 11 to-morrow, and room is made for his forty tired shovelers to lerp. Mrs. Kellogg is sick, and her hasband is doing all he ean to cheer her. They have come from La Grande to visit friends in East Portland, and he is philosophically inclined to wonder why he ever started on sach a pleasure trip. Wednesday, 24. It is still snowing, and Hobart's mtn, unable to accom plish any thing, are nierelv cutting wood "enough to keep the engine in fuel. Engineer Tuttle brought down four chicknn, (which are old hens) Some old woman up the road charged 1 apiece for thorn, but they will maka good broth for the tics women ami the children dprired of milk. We have the luxnry of one potato today, and since to-morrow will be Christmas, Mrs. Macken brings otit some honey, which has been left in her car. Mrs. Fitch cheers the passengers by sing ing, "We'retGaing Home To-morrow," which sentiment everyone deubts as ihe awfully cold beds are resorted to in despair, Thursday,,. 25. -It isrstill'coldiand; unowiug. The first sound that greets my waking ear is ,"Merry Christmas, Henry," and I loek out between the curtains to see a stalwart snow-shevel-er trying to pull a frszaa boot upon a ocklo,s foet. What a trarersty on "Merry Christmas;" yet the spirit i there, and the weary fellow sheveler responds in a way to shame all pam pered chanters of Christmas carols. It Ja tha memory of cosy homes the present is forgotten. We have bread and bacoa, and as I go to the mail car to help Major Duxbury fry somw oys ters on a shovel, I tea the Prineess down by a stump, boiliog one of the old lics in a big black coffee pot for the sick. Ah! Princess, you have the goodness of your sex aad none of its weaknes. Sorre hardy farmer will get a good wife there. Superintendent Donnelly says he will have us moved in a little while, and he tells us that sons ranchmen over on the Washing ton territory side are snowed under to a depth of twenty feet, and suffering more than it is possible for ns. He says setae cattle hare been -discovered on an island in (ho river, and that they will be killed and dragged across the river for our eating. Then, men come again from the Cascade Locks, aud L-fOns returns with medicines, tell ing us that we will havo another week of it. We are no longer in the dark. for ha brin23 can-lies. He also brings tea or adozn "essential drugs and in stals me drctor and nurse of the train. Friday, 26. Ten more men went down the road to day, including Colo nel Skinner, the mail route clerk and both express agents. We havo beef from that killed on the island, and tho rescuers go to work -a ell fed aud en couraged. I have a sick baby on my hands and a man in the smcoking room who was hit in the pit of the stomach with a shave1, at he fell nt the shork of the engine eollission at Hood River. The poor fellow is a car painter from The Dalles, and has no business out in tho cold. He is patched np with med icinos and hot drinks, but looks like death as he lies there in the cold. At 4:30 wa palled back to Vionto, where thcra is a fat Irish woman cooking in tha section hous. Saturday,27. It is much warmer, and we have hot biscuit for breakfast from the section houe, and Mr. Dux bury goes to tho profligate extent of buying pies frern the thrifty dance. It is stormy, and the snow flurries kcVp going up and coming down the moun tain. Thiea. hogs and some flour are hauled down from Hoed River, and the princess is installed as cook in the section bouse, owing to the tendency of the fat woman to charge high prices for small rations, a well as t- seeming, ' foret the difference between her apples and chickens and the mmninv'i flour. In the emigrant car a yeung' woman gets sick. She looks dirty and. discouraged, poor thing; so I loek wise and give her some homeopathic pills, which cure her. The breaks of sun- bhine through the west make Bier standt pictures against the dark moun tains, Vith their frostwork. The hov elersbegin to gat mutinous" because they have no more meat. We hear of tho death of the engiueor (Hudson) at Mesier, and wa ge to bed gloomy. Prescribe drops of whisky on a lump of sugar tor tho baby's cough. There is just whisky enough in tha outfit for one very small baby with a very small cough. , Sunday, 28. The old painter is again in hospital, and we have a case of smallpox. The suhjret is one of the emigrant car brides, and wo move her to the express ear. There, is skary talk of smallpox, aud it takes "a deal ' . of assumed wisdem to keep the little excited colony from breaking out in expressions of alarm. A caboose is off the track near by; the storm has blown tha track full whore it wis shoveled out, and everything stems to be against wr. Even Robert, the Pull, man carporler,'tlls George, the oth er porter, of his dream that we shall not reach Portland till tho 14th of January. They both appear to be" gloomily affected by thVdream. Monday, 29. It is colder, but there' is sunshine. There is a rowinwhich a hengry man, a biscuit and a pistol fij-ure. The biscuit is saved. Tha fat woman goes ou baking'pies on a com- ' premise arrangement, whilo wo sit all day in the car looking at the far away shining summit of the mountain across thejriver, as it coldly '-jleams like the,, f fretting, on wedding .cake.The nw.Iygl -. ra-trned couples observe IbeTsJrnuafw and one the brides slily kisses her7 young husband. This makes the car slightly warmtr. We send for wore medicines, butcan get neither whuky nor brandy. Tuesday, 30. We sit around in blankets aad hear that the Northern PaciSe snow plow is coming. Wednesday, 31 The Northern Pacific nutfit came lunging past us at 12:30. Engineer Bogue andperin lendent Buckley came in, covered with ice; would have bten glad to see thtm if covered with post mortem g!ory We feel good and expect to gt out at once, till we hear tbey are stuck in the saow within a milo of us. Tha nassengors in the rear car .seeni I havo settled down contentedly to board at the expense of tho railroad company. Lyons, Flanders and ray self steal a cheese rind and proceed to see the old year out, Thursday, Jan. 1, 1885. Makes Niw Y?ar call on McTS aught and Stacy in Buckley's car no cards, no vine, wholly informal but bad a delightful time; can remember nothing in New York or Washington, in the way of a New Years' call mere agree able. It is good to see a friends face and sit by a real fire. At 5:30 wo doubled up by massing all passengers in one sleeper and'one coacb and pull ed out, only to get stuck a little bo ow oar old'campfng places- i mu .. ., Friday, 2. Moved again after breakfast to Shellrock, whero the sun shone upon sixteen locomotives at work on the point. The men were cutting wood all night. There are new working nearly four hundred nun . to get us out. We ar rrjoicsd lei reach Bonnerville, and make a hila rious night of it in the rmsS3?' ear- Saturday, 3. Awoke early, while it is yet dark by the p'ea.ant voice of Sanborn, purchasing agent of the N. P., who invites mn over to Sam An' derson's car, where the day is spent most hnppily. Flanders, tho Pullman conductor, now a passenger in Mon roe's car, disburses tho medicines to day. He is a trained drug clerk, and -a better doctor than I. Pulled baek to the Cascades, whero there is plenty to eat at the government mess house, and where Messrs. Carroll and Brown lee mate us mere than welcome. Ex perience the novel sensa'.ion of sating with knives and forks. The weather changes, and a chinook wind thaws the ice. Tons of it comrs crashing olf tho car during the night. Miss Nickels endures every discomfort, but ssy never an impatient word, and we a'l gatbor about her section to' absorb somewhat of ber calmness. She ha bean across the Atlantic in her broth er's sailing vessel, and knows what it ia to goslbwly, Sunday, 4. Here we aie in. ouf third Sunday.
