Five trains, both east and westbound, were snowbound between The Dal les and Portland. A big snowplow left The Dalles this morning, fol lowed by a wrecker, to attempt to clear the way. The wrecker will also carry provisions for passen gers on the stranded trains. Livestock in all of eastern Ore gon suffered from the early storm, which started Friday night and has continued without let-up ever since. The only source of com munlcation for eastern Oregon Is ny way of Spokane, where one wire was still holding.
