nnow drift in the Kush fork Oap on
IIiL'hwav zmi, accormnp to Miss Mil
dfi'd Kooiman, teacher in the Fines

in the first car pettinp through.
The deep drift "was near the home
of (Jradv Walker.
Fred L. Safford, superintendent of

places where drifts were not piled
from four to ten feet deep.

homes of Fines Creek citizens until
Saturday, as the road from White
