Klamath Hill The storm-swept Fort Klaamth hill has again called out the snow plows of the state highway depart ment, owing to a two-foot fall of new snow there during the past week. During the early part of the week motor traffic made this troublesome grade with great dif ficulty, and a number of cars had to be pulled out Of the new drifts by highway trucks. Hard work and considerable ex pense was encountered by the high way workers In opening the grade during the latter part of March, owing to heavy banks ot solid ice that had formed along the sides of the deep snow cuts made by private road workers who first broke the way through. The narrowness of this cut was the cause of consider able difficulty In disposing of the snow from the last fall. Next year the highway depart ment announces a wide roadway will1 be kept clear ot snow from the sturt ! of the winter storms. with a whole lot of misunder standing.
