Jan. 13. (Spe cial.) Behind huce snowdrifts which eitend over much of the Kallspell division of the Great Northern In Montana, are a half dosen or more fast mall and passenger trains bound for Bpokane. Seattle, Tacoma and Portland. Definite announcement as to the probable arrival of any or all of the trains csnnot be made as sll wires sre down, rasing bllzsards having demoralized the 'wire connections. On all other roads reports are more favorable. Hill tinea through North Dakota and westwarjl over the Cas cades are In good shape and east bound trains are making schedule time. While Immediate danger of wash outs has been eliminated on the Northern Pacific, the trains are still far behind schedule.

(Spe. clal.) Snowed in for a week, with mora Ice than seen for several Winters and more piercing cold than experienced in years, the people of Skamania County are hardly yet emerging from thresh olds. Over five feet of snow on the level Is estimated, and since the fall of rain i sleet and cold have combined to break down electric light and telephone wires to such an extent that Stevenson Itself Is in semi-darkness and communlca tlon with the outside world has been confined to mails borne by the badly delayed trains or the S. P. A S. Shoveling gangs have been at work continually along the tracks to make It possible for the trains to operate. tor almost ten cays not a team or vehicle of any sort haa been able to pass along the streets of the city. The paths for foot travelers, driven out to get something to eat, are like deep chasms between high walls of snow, 10 to 14 feet high. One can hardly see buildings on either side of the street, . Red Bluff Families Aided. The School Board has brought the families of Red Bluff Into the City of Stevenson, and Is caring for them In vacant houses, to save the consider able expense of forcing a way through and providing a teacher for the school out there. Recently the roar of a slide some where In the vicinity of Red Bluff was heard. It lasted for about three min utes, and It is probable that some changes in the landscape have been made, but what they are nobody can tell for a week or more yet. The Columbia River Is frozen across Just above the rapids, for the first time In the past IS or 14 years. The Ice Is reported to be four or five inches thick in the middle of the river. Everybody who has any distance to go utilises sklls. A. L. Douglas, livery, man of Stevenson, and Conners Lundy were Informed that three of their horses had broken from their corral and were wandering in the storm. With great difficulty they made their way up to the corral, two and a half miles Irocn Blue Lake, f oiiowsd lh trail of the horses nearly two miles farther and found the animal's under a tree, where they had sought shelter from the blinding snow. The men managed to tramp down the snow at the base of the tree so that the animals could find room to turn about, but the place was like a well. and It was utterly Impossible to get them out. So for several days they left them there, packing hay and other feed to the horses by skll over the drifts. Recently the men took shovels and dug a path and managed to bring the exhausted horses back to their stable. No estimate of the damage done by this unprecedented storm is possible yet. The loss to telegraph, telephone and electric companies will total up high; the loss in stock which may have been frozen or starved to death In the hills may have been large: no loss of life Is reported so far, but in some of the outlying sections no word has been received for over a week. As soon as trails can be broken, the ranches will be visited and rescue car ried into places where most needed. The damage la probably not so severe on the fruit-trees this year as It was four years ego. This Is due either to the fact that the orchardists have pruned more In the Fall or that the Ice did not gather so heavily as It did then. However, many orchards have been damaged badly. SCPPOSED SXOWSLIDE IS KOCK Branch Line Into Central Oregon Will Bo Tied Up for Days. THE DALLES, Or.. Jan. IS. (Spe cial.) When a rotary snow plow waa sent up the Deschutes Railroad yester day to clear away the big snow slide which wrecked a train, killing one laborer and seriously injuring another, it was found that It was a slide of rock and not snow which caused the wreck. The rocks had bean covered over by the snow. This branch line Into Central Oregon Is expected to be tied up for several. days. Rain fell here Thursday night and yesterday to nearly an Inch, mak ing the precipitation since January 1 about six Inches. It Is 50 above today.

Ilotel Cigar Stand Will Open Its Cases Today if Police Plans Are Carried Out. SALT LAKE CITT, Jan. 1J. A per iod of extreme drought, accompanied by a tobacco (amine, la due to strike Salt Lake City at midnight tonight and will continue until 6 o'clock Monday morning, it the orders of the Commis sioners and Chief of Police Grant are carried out. Chief Grant not only has ordered the saloons and cafes closed, but has announced that all cigar stands, in cluding those In hotels, restaurants and drug stores, will be compelled to lock their cases. The Commisloners. who have been In office since January 1, have determined to give Salt Lake City the first really dry Sunday In the history of the city and have asked the clubs to join with them by discontinuing the serving of drink, or cigars to members. House committees of the clubs have refrained from telling what action they will take with regard to the re quest, but no furrows of anxiety were apparent today on the brows of club members. Grocery stores and meat markets, ac customed to open for a short time Sunday morning, also will remain tight ly closed. Smokers laid In extensive supplies onlght to forestall the tobacco famine. Dealers say that more cigars, cigar ettes and tobacco were bought from o'clock to midnight than ever be fore here in a similar time. Those not foreslghted enough to pro. vide a supply probably will be able to "borrow the makings" from entire strangers tomorrow without fear of re buke or refusal. BT C E. ARNET. WALLACE, Idaho, Jan. IS. (Special.) Idaho Democrats were represented In the meeting of the National Democratic meeting at Washington on January 9, by National Committeeman Simon P. Donnelly, of Lake View, who journeyed from his home on the banks of the Pend O'Reille to be present at the meeting. Donnelly has been a member of the National committee from this state for the past seven years. The general Impression prevails throughout the political arena In state politics that the Republican guberna torial situation will be changed before the close of the extra session of the 11th Legislature, called to convene to morrow at the capital. Just why this should be a conviction on ,the part of the politicians is uncertain, but that It will la the conviction of the rep resentatlve Republican papers of the state. With all the unsettled atmosphere surrounding the question as to whom the candidate for Governor will be this Summer and Fall, the gate Is wide open for other material. While It Is not necessarily a prediction now that none of the "also mentioned" finally will be centered on as the man to make the race, the situation is still open for the Infusion of new blood. Others may enter with full rights to participate In the scrimmage. Few Reeosralaed State Leaders. There are few so-called state lead ers holding seats In either body of the 11th session. Aside from Senator Fred W. Gooding, Senator B. P. Shawhan, Representative P. G. Johnson and Clerk James H. Wallis, there are few men connected with or attached to the ses sion who have previously been general ly recognized as among the state lead era of the Republican party. These four are all active and of state measure as Ieadera go. The presumption arises, therefore. that the prime movers within the party are either to gather in Boise some time during the session to partlolpate In this discussion and settlement of what appears to be a knotty problem, or that they are sending their repre sentatives with instructions as to their preference or power to act for them in reaching the final conclusion. It Is clearly within the realms of possibility for some one member of the session to'so Impress his weight as tim ber for Governor on tha people of the party and of the state aa to take his place at the bead of the Republican party aa lta 1912 candidate for Governor. The party Is ripe for a man npon which all can agree. The session is tut 20 days long and the Issue under discussion Is the one uppermost in the minds of the people, that of revenue measures, so that It Is altogether a ripe situation for a "New Richmond." From tha angle tha mix-up haa taken. this man may come from most any part of the state. Through the failure of the Republicans of the north to unite on one man. It has slept on Its rights and the south Is on deck with as many candidates as tha north at this time. New Revenue Law Probable It - Is the expectation of the people of the state that the reconvened Leg islature which Is to meet tomorrow will make a new revenue law. The sentiment as expressed from the mem bers who have been Interviewed on the subject seem to Justify the con clusion that they are awake to the necessity of doing, something, but the press of the state does not Justify the conclusion that the majority sentiment will favor anything especially revolu tionary. In detail, it Is not to be presumed that the extra session will depart far from the well-beaten path made by other states In tax matters. It may be that they will authorize, by resol tlon, the change of the state constltu ion so as to provide for the payment of taxes In semiannual periods, other than annual as now, and it may be that they will submit to the (voters the suggested change for the creation of an elective state tax commission. The plan of the Governor to relieve from the tax burden all residential property having a value of less than $2500 may fail. Public sentiment, as expressed over the state, does not ap pear to be Inclined to such a measure. Agitation Haa Been Slight. There has been slight if any agita tion of the plan before it was made by the Executive and the change would be so radical and so revolutionary as to preclude the probability of its suc cess with the present membership. In many of the smaller incorporated towns of the state, such legislation would take more than two-thirds of the taxa ble property out of the assessment rolls ay t and place them on the exemption list, u- I The deficit would have to be made up from other sources, where, the people are not yet prepared to say. The plan to make the corporations (public service) pay the state expense, without revenue from them to any county, will be defeated. So will the suggested change in the manner of the assessment of mines. Twenty days will slip by quickly. The session will find Itself doing a vast amount of business during the last few hours of the session, unless it reaches results of the larger order very soon after its reorganization, for the field Is so wide that only the frame work of the revenue structure can be built in the scant time provided by the call. It is the hope, and the expecta tion, however, that the running gears of a sufficient bill will result at this extra session. Lace is now so popular in female costumes that Queen Elizabeth of Belgium has organ ized a society to promote a revival of the lacemaking trade in Brussels-nd other eit ls In her kingdom. HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS J. S-milii mil iSmiiMirir mi nmtnfm STANDS FOR BETTER HEALTH The first step toward poor health is a weak stomach. From this arises all such ills as Heartburn, Bloating, Vomiting, Indigestion, Dyspepsia, Costive nesv Headache, Biliousness and Malarial Disorders. Therefore be wise in time and get a bottle of Hostetter' Stomach Bitters. A few doses at the first sign of stomach weakness will save much suffering later on. Thousands know this to be true.
