Fate Intervened last night and de mollnhed dreams entertained by The Observer. Our readers were promised the regulation size paper tonight, but the cold snap snapped the water pipes and It was nearly noon before heat in sufficient quantities had been applied to the dead water pipes to cause a free flow. The linotype Is now oper ated by a water motor and several valuable hours were lost this morn ing; consequently, only a four-page edition this evening. Our readers are promised full service Just as quickly as Conditions can be adjusted to cope with a light famjne, limited water supply and frozen water pipes.
