dull roar that could be heard for miles,
the. Ice in Lewis river commenced going
out about eight o'cleck, Thursday night,
sweeping everything before It. and in
places shoving great piles of ice up on
the river bank. The ice was mixed with
saw logs, railway ties, driftwood, small
boats and every manner of floatsam
from the river bed, and was carried
down stream at a slow rate, but with an
enormous force.
No material damage was done In the
Immediate Vicinity of Woodland. All
parties having Interests, or living in or
near the river nrere notified by telephone
that the ice gorge was coming. It is
feared that the ice Jam. will carry the
logs and railway ties out into the Colum

be very heavy von Lewis river tie and '

been a big drive of railway ties brought
down, and many logs have been torn ,

Oregon Agricultural College, Corvallis
Dec. 20. Worried .housewives can save
their frosen canned fruits and vege
tables by quick action. Say the home
economic specialists at .. the college.
They should thaw ;the fruit out lowly
as soon as possible after it 1 frozen.
If the bottles are unbroken ' they, may
be set back in their places as soon as
the cold spell breaks; If the container
breaks or bulges,' the contents must be
resterfllsed and - recrfnned. No addi
tional sugar is used, as it causes a de
crease of natural flavors. Experiments
were made with peaches, cherries, ap
ples, pears and tomatoes. Only, fruits
that were frpsen as long time broke down
badly, and these were made into Jams.
