Ker. E. U Ritchie Write of the
"White SurprW" in the Shenan

Special Correspondence.
Wayneslwro, Va., April 10 -A white
surprise greeted the Khenandoah Val
ley folks when they awoke yesterday
morning. Ha in had been falling most
of the time for 24 bourn. During the
morning hours It changed to snow. All
through the morning the melting and
piling up forces com batted each other.
By noon the temperature had dropped
enough to start ice upon trees and
wires and the snow was covering even
the naked ground. All through the ev
ening and night it came, with Increas
ing volume and windstorm- Br nicht
fall several. Inches were in evidence
and this morning there was about 8
to 10 inches upon the level place,
with considerable drifts in place. A
number of heavy snowfall storms Ov
erspread this section during the win
ter Just passed, which were piled upon
each other and packed down in such a
way mat no satisfactory measure
ments might be made. But no .such
amount of precipitation was seen, we
think, as during this storm. This is
the third day of it. A light rain is fall
ing and prospects for continuation are
evident
Never have we seen a more novel and
beautiful landscape than as the snow
settled amid the green grass, weight
ed down green decked trees and min
gled with the gloriously rich apple blos
soms. A fac simile reproduction of
the picture of a common apple tree
as may be" seen now would be a highly
prized ornament for any home or art
gallery.
But there is still hope that the fruit
will be spared for temperature fell
little below freezing and has risen
above this mark . now.
A trip through the valley would be
most marvelous to most of your read
ers. For many miles in different sec
tions you would not be out of sight of
orchards and frequently you . could
scarcely see anything else. Within a
few years the apple harvest will re
quire the Importing of many thous
ands of laborers to save the precious
fruit, which the now young orchards
will be ripening. There is no 35 cent
cotton raised here, but the valley is
still a rich, prosperous and progress

and a pleasant place for the tourists'
travels. v E L. RITCHIE.
