HAS SPENT ITS FURY Oregon-California Storm Is Abating RAILROAD BLOCKADE BROKEN Xorth and South Passenger Train Were' Dispatched From Ashland Yesterday Large Force of Men, Clearing Track. ASHLAND. Or.. Jan. 4. With the ex ception, of SIsson, where It Is stiU snow Ins tonight, all points in the track of the great enow storm that has been raging In Northern California and Southern Ore son since. New Year's night report an abatement of the storm, and snow and Tain at Intervals during the day. The sit uation on the Southern Pacific Company's road has improved during the day. This evening the officials succeeded in break log the blockade which has existed on the Sacramento division south of Duns muir. One passenger train was started from there on its way south and one north, with the expectation that they will get through. In addition to combating the gigantic snow- drifts in the Sacramento Canyon and in the deep cuts of the Siskiyou Mountains, the railroad has had to con tend with two landslides south of Cas tella. A force of several hundred men has succeeded in clearing the track of them. Five snow plows and an immense force of snow shovelers are operating south of the summit of the Slsklyous, and no effort or expense is being spared to clear the road. Sis engines that hauled yesterday's sputh-bound express over the Slsklyous to Hornbrook, on returning this morning to Ashland encountered a drift over 14 feet deep in a two-mile cut on the north side of the mountains, a few miles south of here. A snow plow and a large gang of men have been at work all day dig. ginff the engines out, and it is expected that they will reach Ashland before to m&rrow morning. The railroad company has been engag ing men along the line that could be had at increased wages to shovel snow and clear the tracks. Two large gangs ar rived here from the north this morning. The passengers on trains Nos. 11 and 15, which arrived from Portland this morn ing, are held in Ashland, as will be those on No. 11. due here at midnight. A train was made up here this afternoon and started for Portland with, local passengers and ma.ll. (The Southern Pacific expects to get a train from San Francisco through to Ash land this morning about 8 o'clock, and, if successful in this, it will arrive in Portland about 11 o'clock tonight. This is expected to mark the resumption of traffic over the Slsklyous and In the Sacramento Canyon. A snow-plow pushed by five locomotives started south from Ashland yesterday morning, but got stalled in the mountains. At last accounts it was being shoveled clear and the ex pectation was that It would soon meet the crew working up from the south. A stub train was made up at Ashland yes terday, and is due to arrive in Po'rtland about 4 30 this morning. No trains leaving Portland have been cancelled, all leav ing on time. Southern Pacific wires are working to Ashland, but south of there a great deal of trouble has been experienced, and for a time yesterday there was no communication between Manager Koehler, Superintendent Fields and Engineer Gron dahl, who are at the snne of the block ade and the Portland office. They were at length reached over the Postal Tele graph wires.) STORM OF BENEFIT TO MINERS. Renews "Water Supply of Josephine Placers, "Which "Was Very Low. GRANT'S PASS, Or., Jan. 4. The snow storm which has raged throughout South ern Oregon for the past three days hardly reaches this place, although a snow-rain has prevailed here for that time. The snow Is low down on the adjacent moun tains. Between three and four Inches of rain has fallen, and every creek is a raging torrent The storm is of great value to Josephine County placer miners, es the water was gettlns low. The weath er moderated about noon today, but towards sundown again began to get very wet, with prospects of a bad night Trains from the south have been very much de layed, only one local from Ashland get tlns through in two days. Trro Feet of Snow at Detroit. ALBANY, Jan. 4. The two Inches of snow which lay on the ground at Albany for a while has entirely disappeared. At Detroit, on the Conallls & Eastern Rail road, east of here, there Is nearly two feet of snow on the level. BLOWN FROM THE RAILS. Seven Persons Hurt in the Nevada & Oregon "Wreck. RENO, New Jan. 4. A terrific wind storm has done much damage here and in this vicinity. The south-bound passen ger train on the Nevada, California & Oreson Railway was struck by the gale at Doyles, 40 miles north of Reno, and was hurled from the rails. Four passen gers and three trainmen were hurt The severest injuries were sustained by Mrs. S. D. Dodge, of this city. A baggage car on the Virginia & Truekee Railroad express was lifted from its trucks at "Washington Mills, south of here. A portion of the roof of the Central Pacific freight depot at Reno was blown off, and the roundhouse suffered similarly. R. "W. Parry was the heaviest loser. His livery stable, which was demolished, was a three-story brick building, and one of the largest in town. A portion of the second floor was used as a residence. Parry and his family were seated In the dlnging-room when, without warning, a CO-foot section of the south wall collapsed and tons of brick, laths, timbers and mortar crashed through the celling. Mr. and Mrs. Parry and their three children were burled in the debris, but almost miraculously escaped serious Injury. Parry estimates his loss at from $2500 to $3000. J. A. PothofTs large brick livery 6table lost a cornice. The roof was torn asunder and the walls cracked to the foundations. The western windows of the State University and Insane Asylum were blown In. The residence of John Sparks, the millionaire cattle king, was slightly damaged. A playhouse on the Fourth street public school grounds was hurled Intact over 100 feet OX SAN FRANCISCO BAY. Several Minor Shipping Disasters Reported. SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 4. In the storm last night the schooner Mandalay, which all afternoon was moored at Hathaway's wharf, knocked a number of planks loose from the pier and ripped a hole in her upper works before she was taken to a sheltered cove across the bay. The ship Challenger and the bark Gatherer were anchored In the stream all day, and towards night they hoisted signals for tugs Thoir crews had become alarmed at the threatening weather, and had their vessels moved to more sheltered anchor ages. At Main wharf about 20 feet of the bulk head was washed away. A portion of the ventilator on top of the new ferry build ing was blown away, and Fred Rowen, who was on the roof at the time, had a narrow oscape from death. In the city several trees and many advertising fences were prostrated. A new residence at 2151 Folsom street -was blown down. A young voman who refused to give her name was knocked almost senseless by being blown against a telegraph pole on Bush street. The. heavy cornice o a. building at Kearney and Sacramento streets fell to the street, and several persons had narrow escapes. At Powell and Sacra mento streets ..two trees were blown across the street-car tracks, stopping travel for some time. St Luke's Hospital was plunged into- darkness by the break- Ins of Its electric wires. The bay on. the Oakland side was so rough that the ferry steamer Newark was -withdrawn from .service and the freight-boat Mount Eden turned back to port. The British bark Invecmark and the .American bark Theobald collided in the bay. The Jnyermark's Jlbboom was carried away. Buildings Crushed by Snow. YREKA, Cal.. Jan. 4. The snow storm has passed all previous records, 72 Inches having fallen since Tuesday evening, and it is still snowing furiously. Buildings are falling in under the tremendous weight North and south-bound trains, engines and snow plows are snowed in at different places in the county on the line of the railroad. The Fort Jones and Etna stage has been since yesterday trying to come a distance of 18 miles, and it is feared that the passengers and driver are helpless in the Scott Valley Mountains. Two hundred and twenty-five excursion ists from this county, and as many more from Southern Oregon and other points, are at San Francisco, unable to return on account of the blockade. In the Cltrns Belt. LOS ANG-BL.ES. Cal., Jan. 4. Reports from San Bernardino, Redlands, River side and other centers of the orange growing industry in Southern California Indicate that the recent cold snap in flicted practically no damage on the or ange crop. The temperature got below freezing point In many localities, and ice was formed in, exposed places in all di rections, but many orchardlsts were warned and took proper precautions against freezing. The cold snap is be lieved to be at an end, and the weather bureau predicts general rains, which will be of great benefit POUND DEAD IN BED. Hemorrhage of Lungs Caused Sadden Death of Astoria "Woman. ASTORIA, Jan. 4. Mrs. Kate Bachelor Kindred, wife of Captain Henry Kindred, was found dead in bed at her home here last evening. Her husband had left her at 6 o'clock in the morning. In apparent good health. She had made no remark about not feeling well. The cause of her death was hemorrhage of the lungs, with which It was not known that she was affected. Mrs. Kindred was about 51 years of age, and had resided In Astoria for the past 30 years. Besides her hus band, she leaves three sisters and two brothers, who reside In California. It has not been definitely decided, but it Is ex pected that the body will be sent to Cali fornia for burial.

Governor Geer today received a letter from "W. M. Ladd, of Portland, in which the latter accepts the appointment as a member of the Text-Book Commission. In his letter, Mr. Ladd says that while he is a very busy man, he considers that the people have a right to any man's best efforts in such a matter, and he will endeavor to do hla duty as a citizen of the state. No replies have been received by the Gov ernor from the other appointees. Jndge Lowell's Declination. Great surprise is voiced on every hand at the manner in which Judge Lowell ex pressed himself in declining the appoint ment. It Is unanimously believed and said that Governor Geer endeavored to appoint the best men that could be found, and there has been scarcely a criticism of the appointments made. No one ques tions that the appointees are without prejudice in favor or against any book, and that they will honestly investi gate the merits of books and make se lections in the Interests of the public schools. Governor Geer will make no appointment in the place of Judge Lowell until the latter replies to the letter conveying no tice of his selection,. DIED BY HER. OWN HAND. So Jury Decided "Which Investigated Death of Green Mountain Woman FOREST GROVE, Or., Jan. 4.-Mrs. Harry Wolford, aged 47 years, in the pres ence of her husband and children, at her home at Green Mountain, 17 miles north of this place, drank an ounce of carbolic acid yesterday and died an hour later.

Legislature to Be AsUed for Appro priationResolutions on Sale and Transportation of Butter. HTLLSBORO, Or., Jan. 4. The second day's session of the Oregon State Dairy-. men's Association was this morning opened with an address by Dr. James Withycombe, vice-director of the Oregon Agricultural College. Dr. "Withycombe took as his subject, "Problems in Feed ing." He said in part: "Paramount in importance to the se lection of the dairy cow and the providing of suitable environments for her, is the question of feedlns. The modern dairy cow is literally a delicate piece of ma chinery, and her digestive organs are practically a chemical laboratory. No less skill is required in handling the mod ern dairy cow than for the successful operation of the most delicate and com plicated piece of machinery. Much THE LATE WILLIAM ENGLAND. OREGON PIONEER OF 1852, AND WELL-KNOWN SALEM BANKER. SALEM, Or., Jan. 4. William England, who died here yesterday, was born In Mount Pulaski, 111... in 1829. His early life was spent on his father's farm, where he helped In the usual work, gaining In the "Winter months a common-school edu cation. In 1852 he crossed the plains to Oregon and located in Salem. For- a few years he worked as a carpenter and wagon-maker, saving his earnings and loaning money. In this 4way ho gradually worked Into the brokerage 'business, and ''later became a banker. In the '70s be formed a 'partnership with George Williams, with whom, In 1890, he formed the banking firm of Williams & England. Thte firm did a prosperous business until 1S91. when the State Insurance Company failed, car rying the Williams & England bank with it Mr. England was one of the progressive and enterprising men of this lty, and was always ready to assist In any public improvements and charities. He was" one of the prime movers in fhe establishment and building of the Unitarian Church here, and was an active member of that society. He was a member of Chemeketa Lodse. I. O. O. F., for 39 years, and served acceptably in the highest, office in that order. In 1870 Mr. England married Miss Olive Stanton, of this city, who survives him. He had one s6n, Eugene, who died some 10 years ago. Mr. England's health had been falling for several years, owing to financial troubles. The re mains were burled this a'f ternoon, under the auspices of the Odd Fellows' Lodge, Rev, T. L. Eliot, of Portland, officiating. thought Is given to the development of the dairy cow, but entirely tqo meager attention Is given to the education and training of the dairyman. Dairying in the true sense of the term Implies mucn more than the mere Item of competency to carry feed- to the animal, the act of milking and cleaning out the stable. The dairyman should possess knowledge of the laws which goern the health of his ani mals; the functions of the digestive or gans and the fundamental principles of milk secretion. Without this Information he simply pursues a hlt-or-mlss course. Correct Feeding of Cows. "Correct feeding of tho dairy cow re quires not only a sufficient supply of palatable, nutritious food, but also that this food should be of the proper compo sition. Numerous experiments have dem onstrated pretty conclusively that for best results cows should be furnished with feed containing the nutritive elements in a given ratio. This Is popularly ex pressed as standard rations. The dairy man is apt to disregard the advice to adopt a certain ration for his cows, due in a measure to preconceived ideas that the teaching emanates from theory rather than from practical determinations. There is but little doubt that Improper rations fed to the cows are responsible for ma terial losses in the dairy Industry. Milk and butter fat are composed of well known chemical elements. These ele ments do not originate In the digestive organs, or the circulatory system of the cow. but must first exist in a crude form In the food the cow consumes. Diges tion Is simply separation of nutrients and reducing them to a form suitable for elaboration Into tissue and milk. Thus we can readily see that without the cow is supplied with food havlns the proper Ingredients and in sufficient ambunt, the equilibrium of the system will be dis turbed. This generally means lessened milk secretion. On the other hand, If too large a quantity of food is given, it is not all appropriated, hence the cost of pro ducing the milk Is Increased. This may be carried to such an extent as to ren der the operation of dairying unprofita ble. It is well to heed the advice of those who hava carefully studied the mat ter of rations for cows. Experimentlsts who are competent to give advice are practically agreed on the fact that a cow weighing 1000 pounds in full flow of milk should consume 25 pounds of organic sub stance daily, containing two and a half pounds of digestible protein, 12 pounds carbohydrates and about M pound of fats. This ration is found to be satisfactory in meeting the wants of tho system and In supplying all the elements contained in the milk with the waste of food rej duced to the minimum. Mistakes In feed ing commonly occur in three ways, viz., overfeedlns, underfeedins and by giving food lacking the proper constituents. The first entails loss by feeding the cow more than she can appropriate; the second di minishes the normal capacity of the cow to produce milk; the third may cause losses in two ways, first for the want of the proper amount of a necessary ele ment of the food; second, by feeding an excess of one or more food elements, thereby entailing a waste.. For example, a cow fed V& pounds of digestible protein and 15 or 20 pounds of carbohydrates can not make a normal record. The lack of a sufficiency of protein will cause her to shrink in milk yield, while the excess of the other food element will be fed at A loss. These leaks are important items and should be carefully guarded against Well-Balanced Ration Important? ' "There are but few Intelligent dairy men who do not understand the meaning of a balanced ration and recognize its im portant relation to successful dairying. The ordinary crops of the farm are com paratively rich inp carbohydrates, or starchy matter, butjusually are. poor In .protein, or albuminoids, 'vegetable albu men hence the dairyman should endeavor to grow crops which" will give him rea sonably cheap proteinTn, "Western Oregon leguminous crops, "such as clover, vetch and peas will furnlsbycheap protein In a desirable form. For best results the ma "jor portion of thesscrops should be fed green, as soiling cro$, or In the form of silage. This Is recommended for two reasons, first succulent food for the cow is lndispensible to successful dairying; second, it Is altogether likely that a larger proportion of the protein Is util ized in green feed or silage than in cured hay. Protein Is protein wherever we find it, but protein in straw is per haps less valuable to the feeder than the same amount of protein In silage. The energy required to digest the protein in straw would perhaps be more than the protein itself would be capable of impart ing. "Silage Is an important factor In a food ration for the cow. Corn is conceded to be the best plant for this work so far as the ease with which it Is preserved Is concerned. Corn silage, however, Is com paratively poor in digestible protelp, con taining only from .8 to 1.3 per cent, while clover silage contains 2 per cent. "Carbohydrates being abundantly sup plied by ordinary farm crops, protein then is the important factor with which dairymen are concerned. The value of this in farm crops, is governed by the. cost of this food element In commer cial feed stuffs. The aim of the dairy farmer should be to grow crops which will furnish the maximum amount of protein. Evn when this Is done supple mentation of home-grown crops with con centrated feed stuffs will often be found necessary. It Is In the purchase of these commercial feed stuffs where mistakes are frequently made. These mistakes, however, can easily bo obviated if the dairyman will take the trouble to con sult the feed tables so freely published In agricultural works. When commer cial feed stuffs like bran, ojlmeal and middlings are to be purchased, the ra tion should be compounded from the foods whloh will furnish the proper components at the lowest cost. It may be necessary In the Interest of economy to change the component parts of a ration often to con form, with fluctuations in the market value of these feeds. A3 an example it is estimated that when bran Is selling for 516 per ton, ollmeal is worth 535 per ton. Thus it will be seen that the Intending purchaser should carefully scan the mar ket price of feed stuff before compond ing thq ration for his cows. Regulntlon of Grain Feed. "The amount of grain feed should be governed somewhat by the price of dairy products When dairy products are high the increased cost of liberal feeding of grain will be justified, but with dairy products low, liberal feeding of expensive grain may mean financial ruin, for there Is a limit to which grain may be fed for profitable results. "Ordinarily, 10 pounds of concentrated feed per day to an average sized dairy cow In full flow of milk will be found sufficient When the quantities of grain fed exceeds this amount the cost of pro duction is seldom justified by the In creased amount of dairy products result ing ttjorefrom." R. Scott, of Mllwaukle, delivered an ad dress on "Good Roads and Modern Dairy ing." Mr. Scott's remarks were Judicious and well received. Ad Skyles, a creamery man of Astoria, read a carefully prepared paper on "Butter-Making From a Hand Separator." This afternoon the association held its business meeting. The following are the newly elected officers for the ensuing year: President, R. Scbtt, Mllwaukle; secretary-treasurer, F. L. Kent, of Corvallls; first vice-president, Harry West, Scap poose; second vice-president, S. M. Doug las, Eugene. President's Annual Address. The annual address of President Thomas Paulsen, of Garden Home, was delivered this afternoon. He said in part: "I am pleased to state that after many discouragements and backsets our. asso ciation has at last as shown by the success of the two previous annual meet ings, developed Into one of great useful ness and importance, not only to the dairymen of the state, but also to the people of Oregon, It is an undisputed fact, although not always acknowledged or ap preciated by other classes, that what ever helps the farmer and enables him to prosper, also -makes the masses more prosperous. Without prosperity on the farm, the merchant, mechanic, laborer and even the professional man suffers. ! Successful agriculture Is the basis of alL For some reason,- not yet-fully explained, ' 'gralngrowlng in the western part of our S"W 4lO UVb- aUUGU UMj' lUtUg VIA. 1AIC ." the prosperity of the farmer.

The output of oleomargarine has Increased enormously. I herewith sub mit a statement giving the average price of butter during the last 30 years, as well as the average money return per year for each 200-pound butter cow; f 2 ..- Ge fe or j-oa 5. -j (9 "St 25i re. t EPOCH OF FIVE It 93 YEARS FROM .

"There Is no doubt but what the pro duction of oleomargarine will increase in a like proportion as long as the sale of It Is permitted under conditions which enables it to be sold as butter. There 4s only one way to stop this, and that is by National and state legislation mak ing It unprofitable to color oleomargarine, yellow, in Imitation of butter. A bill, known as the Grout bill, which has al ready passed the House of Congressby a, large majority, and Is now before the Senate, will accomplish this. It was only through organized and conserved action of the different state dairy associations and the efficient work of the- National Dairy Uq!oi that thfs , measure was passed by the House of Congress n its present form.

"Write to your Sena tors, get up petitions to be signed by, the patrons of your creamery. Not only tho dairymen, every farmer and every business man should sign these petitions, "In my opinion there is no measure be fore -Congress at this time of more direct benefit to the farmers of Oregon, and especially those of the western part of our state, than the Grout bill. "Certainly, we should Improve our farms so as. to enable them to carry more stock, and our dairy herds, so we will receive better returns for the products of the farm fed to them; but unless we can be protected against fraudulent and unjust competition, even this will not save us from serious financial loss. Our state dairy law should also be amended prohibiting the sale of oleomargarine, col ored yellow In Imitation "of butter, as well as to make It more effective in other ways. Cheese should ba sold only when properly marked to show Its quality. A legislative committee, with our State Dairy Commissioner as a member, should be created at this meoting by our as scclatloji.t .may b said ,by some that 1 have laid too much stress on Ieglslatlpn to help us, but if Oregon ,had no dairy law the sale of pleomargarlne in this state would amount to many thousand pounds each year. Every dollar paid for It is lost to the" people of our state, not taking into account the injury and loss to the consumer." This was followed by an able paper on "Is Dairying Profitable?" by T. S. Townsend, of Portland. Resolutions Adopted, The following resolutions were read and adopted by the association: "Whereas, the present system of selling butter put up In short-weight rolls seri ously Interferes With the marketing of Oregon butter In outside markets; be It "Resolved. That a committee of three be appointed by the president of this as sociation to confer with the commission merchants and butter dealers of Portland for the purpose of bringing about a change from the present system of sell ing by the roll to that of selling by weight "Whereas, the common practice on the part of express companies In Portland of conveying packages- containing butter in wagons In which coops of poultry, carcasses- of animals, etc , are loaded above the packages of butter, is the oc casion of much damage to the quality of butter, be It "Resolved, That the committee ap pointed to confer with the commission merchants relative to short-weight rolls be Instructed to confer with the express companies, and induce them, If possible, to convey butter only In wagons which contain no article which could Injure the quality of tho butter."

A number of citizens of this place who aro Interested In the Gold Hill. mining dis trict, In the Cascade will make an ef fort to secure an appropriation from the Legislature of ?50CO to complete the wagon road between Eastern and,We9terji Wash ngton over the mountains. Considerable work has already been done on this high way, but a good deal Df the proposed route is stiU a trail which can be used only lor packhorses. There are about 200 claims in the Summit district whose own ers are also interested. Postal Receipts IncreaslBgr. During- the year 1900 the stamp sales of the postomce here, with receipts from box rents, amounted to $10,031 85.

She Choose Dr. Experi ment or Dr. Experience? Put the question plainly to an y woman : Will you choose the experiences or the experimenting doctor? and there's no doubt about' the answer. What woman wants to be the subject of experiments, to drag out -weary months while the unskilled practitioner vainly tries various medicines, and charges the sick woman liberally for his experimental failures? Yet willing or unwilling agreat many women have to go throughjust such an ordeal. Their disease baffles the local physician. He tries all he knows to effect a cure and fails. Sometimes this goes on for months, sometimes for years, the woman meantime suffering daily torments. Perhaps the difference between the "doctoring" of experiment and experi ence cannot be better shown than in the following statement: "For seven years I was confined to bed most of the time," writes Mrs. M.P. I Davis, of Honaker, Russell Co., Va. I had four doctors an they said I could, not be cured. I had ulceration of uterus and female weakness, so 1 could not stand on my feet but a short time ; had bearing -down sensation, pain in the small of my back.
