Mr. II. E. Crittendon, who left
our county two years ago, and has
since been living in Thomasville,
has returned to our city and has
found employment in the dry
goods store ol Mr. M. 11. Baldwin,
Sr. “Ed” is an excellent young
man,and wasdoiug well in Thomas-
rounded with snow, and the tract
at that place for about four miles
is covered iu many localities to a
depth of forty feet with solid ice.
During the high winds the spray
from the numerous falls was blown
upon the tracks, and this freezing
caused the formation of hills of
teo, which could only be removed
by blasting.
In the cars the passengers made
themselves as comfortable as pos
sible. Thus far there has been no
sickness, although there are scores
of children aboard, and the oppor
tunities lor exercise are necessarily
limited. When the coal gave out,
the brakeman went out and chop
ped. wood, which was found near
by in abundance. Hundreds of
men have been working on the
track witli picks and shovels, and
there is now hope that the block
ade will soon be raised. It has
hern found that the only way to
maku permanent progress without
destroying the track is to pick the
ice out in chunks and carry them
away. At lirst there was plenty of
whiskey and tobacco on the trains,
but when all the traveling men's
samples had been consumed, the
people who used these luxuries
had to do without, for the men who
packed provisions to the train re
fused to he loaded with anvthirg
but necessaries. Although the
prospect that the train will soon
he released is now good, it is not
to be forgotten that things
have appeared equally as favorable
many times before during ihe past
sixteen days. If we have no more
storms or severe cold it will not
take long to open the road. The
passengers on the train are as
cheerful as could lie expected, but
the experience is one which they
never forget.
Most of the men who walked to
Cascade Locks continued on to
Portland In parties of 10 or 12,
also on foot. The distance is 55
miles, and much of the route is
very dangerous. Nearly all of
them have urrived here in bad con
dition. A few are laid up at farm
houses on tbo way, One party
took tbc railroad track, and by-
clinging to the telegraph wires
most of the way, the snow being so
deep that they could easily reach
them, they made the trip without
much trouble. The blocdade has
cost the railroad about $5,000 a
day for shovelcrs and plow, and
has caused an entire suspension of
business by tbe Northern Pacific.
