LaGrande experienced the heavi-
est snow storm, with 34 inches in
36 hours, and a total to date of
about six feet. This storm also
spread a heavy supply in the Blue
Mountains. Eight feet of snow 's
reported on the east slope of Mt.
Hood at Government Camp. Farth

and elk have been driven out of the
high mountains to lower slopes, anti

highways of Naches and Snoqual

Walla Walla and Pomeroy the high
ways are very difficult to keep open
because of heavy drifts, which con-
Edition is also reported around Tou
chet and toward Spokane from Pas-
i co. Heavy snows are also reported
in the Ochoco mountains and south
of Heppner.
The first death due to storm was
that of Mrs. Ambrose Parks near Al-
bee last week, who went with her
'daughter for a walk to a neighbor
several miles distance. They were
overtaken by a storm after dark,
and Mrs. Parks was frozen to death.
The second death was that of Oliver
Young at Lehman Springs, who was
killed by a fallen pine in his bunk
house. His companion, Victor Me-
Cormach, suffered a crushed skull.
Mrs. Sancho Stubblefield, wife of
the proprietor, whose husband was
then in a Pendleton hospital, gave
the information to the outside world
by telephone and a rescue party with
ten horses and sleds furrowed its
way through three feet of snow for
20 miles. They brought the dead
man and companion, and Mrs. Stub
