ern points goes to Bono, while mull
for the south and for Portlund and
other Willamette vnlley point will
go to Klamath Falls. Only first class
matter Is being sent out.
Tbo only reason that the southern
route bus not been used earlier in
sending out the mull lies in the fact
that hope had at first been enter
tained for the reopening of rail com
munication to the nortb. Now that
this is apparently to be expected only
at a far distant date, any route over
which results can be attained is ac
ceptable, Postmaster W. H. Hudson
said.
Oxipfrntlon Xisptl
Only four pouches of outgoing
mull were In the postoffice this morn
ing, the small amount resulting from
the lack of uuual correspondence
calling for answers, and from realiza
tion on the purt of the general pub
lic of the slight chance that mail
could be Bent out from here.
Business firms may be of real as
sistance to the postoffice, Hudson
emphasized, by mailing their monthly
statements before December 1, there
by aiding In relieving congestion
which will come ns soon as regular
railroad mail service Is resumed.
All perishables mailed here have
been returned to the senders, the
postmaster stated. The amount of
this class of mall was not large, as
no acceptances have been made since
Monduy.

HARDING SIGNS
ANTI-BEER BILL
SALE OF MEDICINAL
BREW ENDED
Hopes Raised One Month Ago By
Mellon Signing Regulations Dash
ed When Bill Delayed In Sen
ate Filibuster Passes.
(Br United Presa to The Bend Bulletin.)
WASHINGTON. D. C, Nov. 23.
President Harding signed the anti-
beer bill today ending the manufac
ture and sale of medicinal beer.
Hopes of brewers and users of
beer, raised a month ago by the sign
ing of the medicinal beer regula
tions by Secretory of the Treasury
Mellon, were dashed Wednesday by
the signing of the Anti-beer bill by
President Harding. It was generally
believed at the time Mellon signed
the regulations that he did so to
force an ending of the filibuster then
being carried on in the senate to de
lay the Anti-beer bill's passage.
During the past month, prepara
tions have been made and brewing
operations started In most of the 11
states affected; Illinois. Maryland,
Massachusetts, Rhode Island. Con
necticut, New York, New Jersey,
Pennsylvania, California, Louisiana
ond Wisconsin. The consumption of
such beer has been extremely light,
for many of the breweries had been
converted into soft drink manufac
tories. Furthermore, few physicians,
even In the "wet" states, had ever
taken out permits to prescribe al
coholic remedies.
The anti-beer bill was approved
lust Friday by the senate.

PRAISES RAILROAD
MEN FOR EFFORTS
RELATES HARDSHIPS
Trip From Portland to Brnd Told In
Detail Uy Chamber of Com
merce Man Wife of Agent at
North Junction Praised.
By David Lloyd K teams
The following account of the ex
periences of passengers on the Ore
gon Trunk which was snowbound
near Frieda, was written by David
Lloyd Stearns, of the Portland Cham
ber of Commerce bureau of Indus
tries, who was on his way to Bend
to visit Franklin Forrester ot the
high school faculty.
We left Portland Saturday evening
at 7:10 o'clock, exactly on time. We .
were in Vancouver about ten minutes
later, so did not particularly notice
the stop there until I pulled out my
watch and noted that we should have
left 20 minutes before.
I found my way to the observation
car and asked the brakeman the rea
son for the delay. He told me that
we were waiting for two trains de
toured because of snow condltioni
to the north over the- Cascades. He
smiled dryly and said that it would
do them little good to reach Vancou
ver, for "the whole line to Seattle is
shot to pieces with the rain."
We were out of Vancouver an hour
and 15 minutes late, after the op
posing trains pulled through cover
ed with snow. Snow started near
Cape Horn. We were nearly four
hours late out of Fallbridge. I went
to sleep.
Slide Stops Train
I awoke suddenly, as my head
tlammed the head of the berth. Then
another thud and we stopped. A
glance at my watch showed a few
minutes before 5 o'clock (Sunday
morning.)
It seemed quite a while before a
brakeman came through. Putting my
head through the curtains, I asked
where we -were. "Stuck in a snow
drift, between Nena and Frieda," he
said. A man in the next berth swore
under his breath.
We -were all up by G. That was a
mistake. Daylight revealed miles ot
snow. Instead of being between Nena
and Frieda, we were a mile south of
Frieda.
Snow Slides Freely
The snow was dry. It slid. It slid
over the tracks, and wns creeping .
over the train windows. Around 10
o'clock, I decided to set out, inspect
the condition, get a few pictures, and
exercise a bit.
Dropping from the rear of our car,
I shot the line back of the train.
As for the track, it simply wasn't.
One slide after another covered the
line. Between slides, a foot of snow
was over the rails, but the slides
themselves covered the road with 20
to 40 feet of sliding snow.
I started working my way toward
tbo engine. I passed, in order, a Pull-.,
man, a tourist car, a coach, baggage
car, a mall car, and four freight can
before I came to the tender. It came
to my mind tbat, but tor those
freight cars, we would probably have
been in Bend, But we were right
there, stalled. Even as I stood there
snow began running over the loco
motive boiler. It was uncanny. Steam
up inside, and snow trickling over
the top. I- passed the engine, and
photographed it from the front.
Next I turned my attention to the
line ahead. For a quarter mile, were
the worst slides in sight anywhere.
Beyond that point, the line passed
over a flatter stretch, where snow
was normal. At no place or no time
during our stay, were there nny snow
drifts. It was all slide.
On my way back, I boarded the
train through the baggage coacb.
Pressure of snow against the inner
or bank side of the car was so great
that the wide doors were opened on
both sides to allow the snow to slide
through, and prevent the car from
going into the river. I found the
coach and tourist already dangerous
ly toward the river. Out of all the
train, the. Pullman alone had ho snow
behind it. It alone was safe. All cars
were uncoupled, one from another,
so that in case one went In,' the rest
would not necessarily follow.. Most
