The condition la very sim ilar to that of 1021, when, following an unprecedented fall jof gleet and subse quent rains the alidihg ice particles of the gorge were turned into miniature glaciers. Yesterday the state highway officials who were directing crews at work in clearing operations both here and in the vicinity of Corbett, were un able to give any definite idea as to when the highway will be clear. Much <l<*pendM on weather conditions. As will be remembered, in 1021 the storm be gan alioiit Thanksgiving. The high way remained ice-bound until March.

Fireman Warn ke died Tuesday. Engineer Theobald was removed to St. Vincent's hospital. The accident happened anout 8 a. m. A slide of snow, ice and rocks had hurtled down from the side of the Columbia gorge from 1600 feet above th* tracks and blocked the rails and highway. Train No. 23 was dne in Portland at 7.1B a. m.. hut was delayed by ice and «now on the trat’ka. There were two locomotives pulling 11 coaches. When the train hit the slide, the lead engine carrying Theolwld and Warnkc left the ralla and plnnged over the bank on the river side. The second locomo tlve also wax derailed but Instead of going over the bank, spraddled the main Hue and the passing track ar Oneonta siding. « Three baggage cars, two passenger day coaches and one empty day coach «leo left the track. Passengerx on the wrecked train were taken to OMgon Trunk junction, near Cell io. where they were sent on to Portland over the Spokane, Portland A Meattie north bank road. Rumors of the wreck were started here, reporta Indicating that a number had tx»en killed These were quieted When facts were ascertained through the local Union Pacific office. The Oregonian chartered a locomo tive from the Union Pacific to talb re porters and photographers to the soene. but the engine was forced to turn beck after reaching Bridal Veil falls, about seven miles from the wreck, when a furious storm was encountered. A lgnger list of casualties was avert ed, it wm believed, by the fact that No. 23 was forced to crawl along at slow speed due to snow drifts, an ley gale from the east and poor visibility.' The Oregonian celled the local cor respondent Instructing that he proceed to the wreck and gather full informa tion. No trains were operating, how ever. and the Columbia River highway had long been closed by drifts.

Owing to atorm conditions the Rialto theatre closed Tuesday night until fur ther notice. The Liberty will be oper ated every Saturday and Sunday with the best pictures the market affords according to announcement of the Hood River Amusement company. Hereto fore the Rialto has been kept open in order to give patrons the best possible service, but as many local merchants are closing Saturday evenings due to poor business conditions the theatre does not feel justified in staying open during the had weather now prevailing for the same reason that the stores are closing on Saturdays. The Liberty, being easier to heat and plenty able to accommodate present de mands of business, will be open every Raturday and Sunday, and eack addi tional day that business will warrant It as fast as that fact can be deter mined. Right now, dne to uncertainty of Aim shipments and consequent delay in their arrival, the Liberty will be open only on Saturday and Sunday with bookings that can be shipped di rect from the exchanges in ample time for their use on these days. TAINS CRAGJIATS 1 Calvin White, Jr., Portland young man, Tuesday night celebrated the first anniversary of his discovery and rescue from death by freezing ou ths south side of Mor.nt Rood last year by a dinner given here to Flood River Crag Rats at the Hotel Waukoma. Young Mr. White wandered from the trail while on a New Year’s skiing expedition. Hood River Crag Rata responded to the call for searchers, and one of their nnmber, William Cochran, found the lost recreationist. With valley highways still unbroken after the recent heavy sleet and mop- Storm, many of the 26 Crag Rate who were guests at the dinner had to travel to town on their skis. Mr. Cochran, who is in charge of Homestead Inn, SO miles away at the junction of the Mount Hood Loop and Cooper’s Spur lateral highways, was forced to travel 12 miles on his skis. Mr. White was accompanied here by his father, Dr. Calvin 8. White, L. A. Nelson. Ted Emersun and Ray Conway, the latter three men having been engaged last January in directing the parties that searched for him.
