Yesterday, as word began shivering forth from entire communities that have been Winterbound for days and weeks, some idea of the season’s severity was Tealized. Kewaunee, Wis., was one of the places where the oldest residents were ready to admit that never before, in their memory, had there been such a Winter. No Kewauneean was better able to attest the severity of the weather than Dr. W. M. Wochos. One of his experi- ences became known yesterday. At dawn, with the temperature far below zero, Dr. Wochos received a telephone | i call from the Eugene Beaurain home nine miles away. Flounders Through Driffs. ‘The physician set forth in his ski- equipped motorcar, only to abandon it after three miles of tedious travel, buck- ing the heavy drifts. He started ahead on foot, floundering slowly through the snow. Finally, he came to a farm hous® and phoned Beaurain instructions on how to welcome the stork should the bird arrive before he did. A snowplow was put to work to cut a path through the drifts, but even the plow was able to advance only three miles, after five hours. Dr. Wochos, bundled in woolens, and carrying his instrument case in many-mittened hands, pressed ahead on foot, fighting bitter cold and snow that was waist-high in places. After several hours he stumbled exhausted | |Hil and nearly frozen into the Beaurain ome, The stork had beaten him, and Mrs. Beaurain and a baby girl were doing as well as though the doctor had been | [if there on time.

As though death itself were not tragedy enough, further hardships and | filf dangers presented themselves to Her- ron's widow and her son. Wrapping Herron's body in blankets, the woman and her boy placed it on a toboggan and started with it across the wind-swept drifts to the nearest undertaker's. Night overtook them as, .floundering through the deep snow, they staggered slowly ahead, dragging the toboggan and its cargo of death. They became hope- lessly lost.

SEATTLE, Wash, January 31 (#).— Cold and snow, which continued to hold the Pacific Northwest yesterday, have caused rhortages in water, fuel and cattle fodder in widely separated areas of the Northwest. Residents of Rossland City, in Cen- | il tral British Columbia, hacked their way to adjacent creeks for their water sup- ‘ply when the reservoir and mains froze. A water delivery system was being in- stituted for use until warmer weather thaws out the system. Shutting down of a score of lumber mills and logging camps in Grays Har- bor, Western Washington, has caused & crisis in hundreds of homes that can- not find fuel. The mills, which furnish almost all the fuel 6f the district, have exhausted their supplies, while the scant handful of coal dealers have many more orders than they can meet. | i To lddr E: their t\:oub]es nearly 5,000 Bladder Trouble?
