The La (iratide correspondent of

.Ml the snowsleds that have done
service on tho La (irandp-Huntlngtou
division of the O. H. As X., have been
removed within tho past year, owing
to the decrease of the soveiity of the
weather during the winter months Iu
eastern Oregon, causing less expense.
When these sheds were built
twenty years, ago the road through
I'yle canyon was blockaded every
winter with snow, aud the sheds weie
built to protect the worst points. It
has been noticed by the track depart
ment for the past ton years that tho
snowfall, wind and drifts aro less
and less severe each year.
During tho whiter just passed no
trouble hatt Imjoii occasioned at thn
points at which tho sheds stood, al
though It has been the worst winter
iu live years iu tho mountains.
Kveu If tho snowfall was as heavy
now as when the sheds were built,
tho rotary suowplow could be used to
clear tho tracks, and at the time the
sheds weie erected tho rotary was nil
kiiowu. The heavier engines of today can
also wade through much deeper snow
without interference than could the
former class of smaller euulues.
