Plane Wrecked Near Inigon There was some little excitment at our neighboring town last Saturday when an uirplano which had been stalled there, was dragged out onto the highway and in starting to as cend the wing hit a telephone post and the plane turned over, tearing all the telegraph wires as it went anl knocking down the pole, which tore the top from Saltng's car. Fortunate ly no one was injured. The occupants of the plane took out the engine and departed in a car which was said, came from Wnlla Walla. Many stor ies were rife ns to what the business of the plane was. many thought it was out to meet the escaped convicts, who were still at large, but at last reports all were as much in the dark as ever. The occupants of the plane were reticent and taciturn. The same day the Patterson Ferry w-as closely guarded by a number of men who were deputized to keep a watch for the con victs and it wa a great relief when the news came lelling of their cap ture in Washington.

The poetry of it still appeals to me not a little, though I have gotten pretty well over my childish desire to engage In snow ball tights and to hitch my hand-sled behind coal wagons and other vehicles as they roll down the street. Nor does the bob-sled ride with a crowd all snugly tucked In with blankets and buffalo robes make much of an appeal to me. I doubt, really, If an honest-to-goodness buffalo robe could be requisitioned In my neighborhood, In spite of all of Its modern con veniences. I enjoy watching the snow come down, when I have time to watch it, and I like to see It lying like a white counterpane across my streich of lawn. It is when it gets soot-begrltned or soft and mushy under my feet from the warm rays of the sun that I do not care for it. It Is as a test of character, however, that I find most Interest In the first snowfall. I live on a street of de tached houses with ample lawns and sidewalks in front of them. It Is a rhanging community where neighbors come and go a good deal, with few oc copying the same bouse for many years I seldom have time to form n very close acquaintance with these neighbors; I cannot call upon them, but the first snow fall gives me an Insight into their characters and tells me not a little nbout their personal habits. If the snw comes at night, ns I' often does, long before I am up In the morning I can hear my neighbor across the street cleaning the snow off his walk. His shovel bents a rapid tattoo upon the cement walk. It Is no narrow path down the middle of the walk that he makes, as pome oth era less energetic do, but a thoroughly complete job. Including the long ex panse of walk In front of his lot swept clean. He even goes so far at times as to Include the place next door where only women live. One ran pick out the energetic ones by looking down the street and counting the bare patches of sidewalk that the early risers have shoveled clean. Nothing tests a man's character an severely as his living far back fron the street or on a corner lot when bis walk extends about two sides of the place. Tou can always depeni' upon a man who shovels out both Ides of a corner lot following the firs snowfall. If he Is satisfied to plow through (he soft snow, and let the sur clean it off when old Sol gets round to It, or to posh a narrow path down the middle of the walk with a few whisks of a stiff broom, ten to one he is lazy or selfish. It takes strength of character to crawl out of bed of a cold morning, hurt up the snow shovel and go out and dean off the walks. Jack Qorham drove to Heppner on Tuesday. T. E.
