The trip had been started with the Intention of making Eugene In bring back papers und outside news. Only seven or eight Inches of old snow remained on the road, and re sidents of Sisters Informed the auto 1st h that this was due to the fact that rain had fallen continuously during the early part of the week.

ENGINES BUCK ICY DRIFTS ON CANYON LINES MAY RELEASE TRAIN BY SUNDAY MAIN LINE CLEARED O.-W. Trains Detour Over S. I. & H. Itotnry I'low Attempt Trip Up Canyon Wire Ctminmril culion Kxperted by Kiimliiy (Speclul Correspondence) SOUTH JUNCTION. Nov. 26. Under a leaden and snow filled sky half a hundred tired men are digging doggedly away at the pack of Ice that still Imprisons the stalled train No. 102, which has been locked In the ice since last Sunday. Moderat ing weather yesterday afternoon per mitted the use of the engines In buck ing the Ice drifts, and engine Nob. 463 and 355 began a grim contest with the elements. Engine No. 463 bucked center for a gain of one yard and on her next attempt gained seven yards. A third trial resulted in no gain. She next attempted an end run, but was clev erly blocked by c husky iceberg and stopped without gain. KnHlno Held For Downs It being discovered that she had suffered a contusion of the pilot, she was temporarily removed from the game. Engine 355 then took up the burden of the offense, but after three crossbucks was held for downs. Al though she kicked backwards, she was unable to advance. Half a mile of frozen drifts still separate the stalled train from its rescuers, and ur.d-r present conditions, it will not be r ! :ed until Sunday. ner.L' is from Fallbridge Indicate that tlr; 1. P. (c S. main line is now cleared ai::l trains running normally. O.-W. trai; -re detouring over th S. P. & S. A rotary plow started from Fallbridge yesterday and clear ed the line to y.'.'.j Post 15. but broke two propeller blades and Is being repaired before resuming the attack. As near as is known, 70 miles of drifts arc still to be overcome, and it Is doubtful if service will be resumed before Monday or Tuesday. Serk Wh-o Connection Ten miles south of the stalled train F. E. Studebaker and Jack Wright are trying to estabjish wire commun ication northward to Fallbridge. The telegraph line has been restored to South Junction. They have a crew of 11 men, and expect to reach Kaskella by tomorrow. A through wire to Fall bridge should then be In operation by Sunday night. "Studie" is somewhat hindered by a pair of plyers of the Ford variety, wished on him by Jack Wright, which hampers his style, but he is still in action. J. T. Hardy Is wield ing a wicked shovel on the Ice, and If he maintains his present gait, should be decorated for his work. SALE OF LIQUOR TO BOY ALLEGED JoJepb.

FIRST RADIO NEWS GIVEN Bl BULLETIN VESSELS WARNED OF RENEWED STORM SHIP MAY BE LOST Tug Sea Kagle anil Schooner Mim ing, Coast Stations. Report Seward and Austin Will Try Sending This Evening. For the first time In the history ot Ilend, the wireless telegraph was successfully used In news gathering here last night when C. O. Seward, of the Elite Studio, and Carl Austin, who have been working the better part of the week in the preparation ot equipment, completed their Installa tion and received the crackling mes sage ot dots and dashes which told of the probable loss of the tug Sea Eagle, last seen a week ago. The ra dio men, both of years' experience, heard warnings sent out by naval stations along the coast of impending stormy weather, and picked up mes sages not available for news from a Japanese ship far out on the Pa cific. Because of the stormy weather, and the number of warnings and ship reports being flashed through the ether, communication was extremely difficult and there was no opportnn ity to Bend. The air was thick with radiograms from early in the eve ning until 3 o'clock this morning. Ships May bo Lost "Keep good lookout for tug Sea. Eagie which is disabled off Oregon coast. Last seen standing off Coos Bay Saturday nineteenth waiting smooth water to enter," was the re quest sent out from Marshfield and repeated by many stations and ships along the coast. It was the first bit of wireless news to be received here for the use of a local paper. Later In the evening a similar warning was dotted and dashed inti mating the loss of a schooner, the name of which could not be picked up. which was last seen standing off Columbia bar. Deck wreckage found Indicated that the schooner has failed to resist the attack of the waves. Because ot the speed used in in stallation, a defect In the apparatas developed last night while tho op erators were at work in their sta tion on Bond street, resulting during the morning, in inability to hear mes sages plainly enough for transcrip tion. A careful overhauling of the instruments is being made today. however, and an attempt will b made tonight to communicate wltk coast points as well as to receive. BALL PLAYER BUYS POOL HALL SHARE E.

HOW THEY VIEW THE WEATHER In Madras "With mild weather prevailing and the sun shining as it does only In this wonderful Central Oregon it is difficult to believe that our way out Is cluttered up with six feet of snow." Madras Ploncor. In Silver Lake "From what we have ben able to learn from meager reports, It seems that all of Central Oregon has escaped the brunt of the storm. When we have weather out ot the ordinary, the conditions are worse In other places. It was ever thus." Stiver Lake Leader.
