BLIZZARD RAGING
(Continued from Pare One.) -
Ten thousand head of sheep have been
driven to this city to feed on account
of there being no. hay In ths interior.
and unless the snow blockade la broken
shortly so forage can be shipped la.
from outside a large loss of sheep Is
anticipated.
The hay shorts gs In this vicinity Is
being aggravated by several bands num
beting thousands of head, that have
been driven In from the Interior for
shipment, but have been held here over
week on account of washouts and
storms on the Columbia Southern and
O. R. A N. railroads.
Chinook ths Only Salvation.
Dispatches received here tonight from
Prlnevllle and through letters received
by stage from the Interior it Is learned
that stockmen In the Prlnevlllo country
are fearful that a heavy loss will re
sult to their herds. The snow Is ac
cumulating ao rapidly that it is fast
becoming Impossible to move feed to
the sheep and cattle that are in thetr
winter feeding quarter. It la stated
that a Chinook wind la . ths only
thing that will relieve condi
tions. On the other hand. If ths pres
ent depth of snow lying on frosen
ground melts away, as It usually does
under tbe softening breath of a chl
nook, nothing can prevent the damage
Which will result from the floods.
Usually stockmen In this portion of
ths stats feed about 40 days during the-j
winter, ths stock running on the ranges
during the remainder of the season. In
most sections feeding has been contin
ued now for soms IB days, and with
this severe storm coming whea the win
ter has hardly mors than begun there
are ths broadest grounds for alarm.

Crook County Men Now In. City Dis
cuss Famine Probabilities.
No little anxiety Is sxpressed by
central Oregon stockmen who are In
the city regarding the conditions
brought about by ths heavy storm
which is sweeping through tbs Interior
country. Two of the largest sheepmen
In Crook and Wasco counties said last
night that If ths deep snow laid on
for any great length of time the loss
would run Into thousands.
Will Wursweller, preeldent of the
Black Butts Land aV Livestock com
pany of Crook county, which Is run
ning thousands of head of sheep on the
ranges of Crook county, said at the
Imperial last night that his company
had on hand a plentiful supply of feed
to weather a storm of moderate dura
tion. ,
Hops for ths Bert.
"We have been feeding our sheep
sines ths severe, cold spell last month
and expect to feed, as ususl. for en
other month- or so. If this latest
storm contlnuss for any length of time
and another cornea a little later on It
will place na In a position where we
will have to .eed grain. With ths lat
ter gone, conditions will be much tile
same ss they were during the dcniUTe
winter of 188t, when practically every
stockman In Crook county saw ths csr
casses of his herds lying In ths snow.
"I sm uneasy, of course, but I be
lieve that we are In, a position to carry
ths sheep through unless this storm
proves of unusual-severity and dura
tton, . I believe that it la generally true
throughout Crook county that stock-1
vers storm, so we can only hop for
ths best" -
R. R. Hlnton, who run soms 11,000
head of sheep In the Antelope country
south of Shanlko, was also at ths Im
perial last night. Mr. Hlnton baa been
engaged In the stock business in Wasoo
county for the past SO years, and Is
ons of thoss whose herds partially sur
vived the storm during the winter of
ItSS, when those of his neighbors died
In their tracks. :

T hauled hay and feed through three
and four feet of snow for weeks during
that winter to save my starving bands, '
said Mr. Hlnton last night. aad I hope
that this winter Is not going to be a
duplicate of that awful season." Whsn
asked regarding the general conditions
prevailing In Wasco county, Mr. .Hln
ton said:
"Fred la none too plentiful through
out that section of central Oregon this
winter, and stockmen are not very well
prepared to face a .winter of unusual
severity, aa this ons gives all appear
ances of being. Hay is short on account
of early feeding, and If the storm
provee too severe or Is of unusual dura
tion there will be heavy losses."
Ths news relative to ths storm, given
Mr.. Hlnton -by a Journal representative,
caused him no little uneasiness and he
decided to leave for home this morn
ing,. but when ha waa told that no trains
would run ovsr the Columbia Southern
