Central Oregon Snowbound By Major Storm Delays Mail
The heaviest storm of the season dumped from one to two and a half feet of snow over central Oregon, halting mail and trains. Washouts and slides crippled the Columbia Southern and O R N lines, with no mails reaching Crook County since Thursday. Madras and Culver saw 14 to 18 inches, while Bend reported two to three feet just south of the region. Mail service remained severely limited, though soil moisture improved prospects for crops as thawing rain moved south. John Lockard braved the weather to deliver county mail on Saturday and Tuesday.

Coyote Raiders Pig Pen For 75 Pound Pork
A bold coyote raided Mrs Lena Lambs pig pen last Friday night stealing about 75 pounds of fresh pork. Mr Adams chased the animal from the pen up toward the rim rock but the pig died after being brought to the barn. The feat showed surprising strength for a small coyote as it carried the porker a quarter mile through snow and sage.

Odd Fellows Postpone Madras Lodge Installation
The Odd Fellows from Prineville could not reach Madras for the lodge organization last Saturday due to deep snow. Six men in a four horse rig started out, but after six miles the team wore down and they returned home, delaying the installation until weather improves and a new date is set by Grand Lodge officers.
