LOS ANGELES. Jan. 10. The police
and private detectives of Los Angeles
are now hunting for Albert Anderson,
alleged to be the fourth member of the
sag that blew the safe In the Bank of
Montreal branch at New Westminster,
B. '-. September 15. 1911. and secured
about IJ7S.OP0 In cash and securities.
That Anderson Is or was In Los An
gelrs was confidently predicted In mes
sages received by the officials today
from San Francisco.
The police said that the telegram
from San Francisco contained the In
formation that the police there had
combed that city and were convinced
that Anderson had escaped to Los An
geles In an automobile.
Atsrrm Alleged "Pal."
Anderson Is alleged to be the "pal"
of Albert Hoffman, or Pean. now under
arrest here for connection with the rob
bery and with whom he had been
traveling all over the country eluding
the officers slnoa the robbery occurred.
Mrs. Mlna Griffin, the woman who
was with Dean when he was arrested
Punday. has disappeared and Is believed
to be In San Diego.
The woman Is said to have eluded
detectives and departed In company
with her daughters, one about 17 years
old. the other not more than 13. who
lived with Dean and the woman in the
bungalow which the couple rented upon
their arrival In Los Angeles.

No warrant has been issued for the
arrest of the woman, but operatives of
the agency which effected the capture
of Dean say. It Is necessary to And

In the past year were banks organised

Billle" Barrett is said to have left
l ortland shortly before the New West
minster bank robbery, after a trip to
Astoria at the time of the Centennial
celebration. His compsnlons were Mc
N a mar a, known as "Australian Mac"
fean. and another man who is sup
posed to be at present In the saloon
business In Portland, but who Is not
under suspicion for the New West
minster robbery.
shortly after the New Westminster
robbery Barrett wss thought to have
returned to Portland, but later Investi
gations by detectives who knew hlra
by sight proved that he was not tn
Portland.
Barrett was believed to have adopted
a law-abiding life after he was re
leased from San Quentln penitentiary
Jane 1 last, and his connection with
McNamara and Dean was thought not
be in connection with the New
Westminster robbery.
Barrett was arrested by Detective
Welner In the I'nlted States National
Bank several years ago for the alleged
theft of $150 from the Hotel Portland.
A negro porter of the hotel recognised
Barrett as one of three men who trav
eled together and had taken rooms at
the hotel, two of the others having
been found to have connection with
the theft.
The porter followed Barrett from the
Portland Hotel, and after losing his
track several times pointed him out
to the detective in the bank at Third
and Oak streets.
Barrett was then sent to Baltimore,
where a qharge of theft resulted In a
Jail sentence. He Is known as one of
the most clever sneak thieves tn the
country, and his attire and manners are
said to have drawn him out of many
affairs In which evidence seemed to be
against him.

GREtiHAM. Or, Jan. 10. Special.)
Effects of the "stiver thaw" are now
In plain evidence all over the eastern
pert of Multnomah County. The dam
age has been Immense and is as yet un
measurable. Probably the most expensive damage
was sustained by the Farmers' Tele
phone Company. The whole system of
poles and wires was practically de
stroyed. There were about (00 miles of
lines radiating from Gresham three
days ago. but now there Is not a cir
cuit in use. Two-thirds of the poles are
flat on the ground, the wires are a
hopeless tangle. The dejnage has not
been compiled but it will take a month
tn rebuild the system to Its former effi
ciency.
The other telephone lines belonging
to the Mount Hood Railway Company;
the O. W. P.. the Pacific Telephone
Company snd tha Portland Water Board
are also badly crippled ana out or

Inestimable damage was done to fruit

quelled materially last night by District
Weather Forecaster Beals, who predicts
a cold wave which should put a stop to
the sudden melting of Ice and snow.
A severe cold wave which Is now
sweeping over the Upper Mississippi
and Missouri valleys will be felt today,
he says, In Eastern Washington and in
Northern and Southeastern Idaho, No
high water In the Willamette or Co
lumbia rivers need be feared for several
days, he says. The rise in the river
has halted and the upper rivers are
falling.
At Pendleton the chlnook has mod
erated and though the snow is stllf
melting the river Is rising slowly and
the danger of flood has passed almost
before It occurred. The temperature is
moderate and regular train service
has been resumed.
Some damage has already been done
by the thaw. Idaho, in the neighbor
hood of Boise, is expressing great
fears of flood, owing to the great ex
panse of deep and rapidly melting
snows. Baker cut off from the world
to a great extent by the snow block

famine. Many residents are abandoning
their homes to live at hotels until fuel
can be obtained.

A large grain warehouse near The
Dalles collapsed from snow on the roof.
Ice In the Columbia River is stu

use of the ferries across the river.
Portlsnd has almost recovered from
the effects of the recent silver thaw.
With the snow virtually gone, traffic
resumed in all parts of the city and the

Thaw Begins to Melt Snow Covering

BOISE; Idaho, Jan. 10. (Special.)
Southern Idaho faces the most serious
flood In its history if the thaw that
started today breaking the backbone of
the cold wave continues. The snow is
IS Inches on the level, the largest
amount in the history of the weather
bureau, and back in the mountains the
snow is from 10 to 14 feet deep.
Kaln began to fall today and is con
tinuing tonight. In this city merchants
are preparing for the flood which they
believe Is sure to follow the sudden
thaw and in the basements of thefr
business houses they are having thou
sands ot doliarr worth of goods ele
vated so that in the event water floods
the basements they will be safe.

night almost completely Isolated Boise.
The first train since then arrived from
the west at Boise today. Wrecks and
snow blockades in Eastern Oregon tied
up the service. The fact that Boise Is
not provided with a storm sewer system
makes its position in the face of the
expected flood serious.

Saturday, Sunday and Monday has dlS'

Tha river continues to rise and is

morning, after which it is expected
that It will begin to recede. This is

Linemen of both the Bell and Home
telephone companies did effective work
yesterday in restoring service. Their
first efforts wera directed toward re
placing the cables or trunk wires dam'
aared by ice and falling trees. This
work has virtually been completed.
They are now putting in drop wires
that broke between poles and res
dences. It is probable that every tel
ephone placed out of commission by
tha storm will be in operation by tha
end of the week.
The O.-W. R. Sc. fi. Company yester
day succeeded in opening its main line

also has been restored. The only line
that remains closed is that in the

result that the snowdrifts will be pen

With tha exception of the Deschutes

HAVE YOU SUSPECTED YOUR KIDNEYS?

Many beauty specialists now employ

Persons wishing to remove fuzz or

employing the painful and costly elec
tric needle should buy an original pack

with a little mix enough water to form
thick paste. Spread this on the
