Two Feet of Snow
At Ft. 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.

Immediately upon his ar

to save the men who went down
when the Japanese ship foundered,
Col. Paul E. AlbertI a marine inj
surance underwriter, who was an
eye witness from the decks of the
rescue ship, has brought out the
fact that Homeric was not equipped
to shoot a lire line to the Ralfuku
had she been In a position to do
so.
A Lyle gun, the machine from
which a lite line la shot either to
shore or to a ship In distress Is
required equipment on all Amerlcnn
that the Homeric was not equipped
with a machine and declared that
the Dritish board of trade did not
demand such equipment. None ot
the White Star ships are provided
with Lyle guns, the officials said.
Had the ship been thus equip
ped, they added, she would not have
been able to shoot a rope to the
Ill-fated vessel over which the crew
might have swung to Bafety. The
bulky slow moving Homeric was
not maneuvered Into an advantag

slipped beneath the waves.
Further White Star officials de

cordial telegram from the Kobe of

owners of the Ralfuku, thanking
them for the assistance given their
men.
