different items from all over the
country, and more especially
from Wapinitia and Wamic
The weather this winter down
here has been the worst I ever
saw, snow, rain and sleet. The
wind blew for one month and I
began to long for my haunts in
the Cascade mountains. There
was plenty of snow, drifts eight
and ten feet deep, and there is
plenty of it still remaining.
I am getting ready to come on
to our work on the ditch as soon
as the weather conditions will
permit. We expect to get water
on the Flat by July 1.
Yours very respectfully,
W. B. KEENE.
