The first five cities in rank of their population are: New York 6,602.841 Chicago 2.487,722 Philadelphia 1,709,6X8 St. Louis 767,309 Boston 766,473 Among the others are: Los Angeles 603,812 San Francisco., 463,516 Milwaukee 436,635 Cincinnati 410,476 New Orleans 471,747 Minneapolis 363,454 Seattle 848,639 Kansas City 297.487 Portland, Or. . ... 296.463 Atlanta 190,558 Birmingham 181,762 Omaha 165,470 Storms in Kockies Still Delay Trains Heavy Snows Reported In Bin afonn talas Severe Cold Restricts Steam ing Power of Engines. Continued cold and stormy weather In the Rocky mountains delayed trans continental trains again today, the 6-W. R. & N. and Oregon Short Line solving their part of the difficulty by running stub trains.

This train arrived almost on time. The regular No. 19; however, was bul letined this morning to airive around 3 p. m.

No. 17, due at 7 tonight, Is now expected about 9 p. m. Bitter cold and heavy winds restrict the steaming power of engines, and these conditions are chiefly respon sible for the delays. - Heavy snows were reported today In the Blue mountains, with two feet six inches recorded on the summit of Kamela hill, and one foot on Telocaset hill.
