Snow Fall Cover Valley Tuesday night the feathery flakes of snow that tell gently to the ground throughout Oregon covered the Rogue valley to the depth of five or six Inches, and telephone and electric wires suffered from the weight that lodged upon them. As a consequence the power lines were out of commis sion all of Wednesday forenoon, fend all establishments that depended up on this source for power bad to take a vacation. The linotype and the presses at the Courier office were quiet till past noon, greatly curtail ing the amount of news matter that could be set ror this Issue. The snow is now fast melting, and will go far toward adding to the moisture content or the soil as most of It wilt be absorbed.

Tills Is the piny with mi Ion, no dull moments Lonesome Luke Comedy, "TIIK GLADIATOR" london, Feb. 31. Germany's hope of "starving out" England by her submarine warfare, has gone glim mering, In the view of the British. The "relentless" l'-boat war Is de clared to have hardly made a dent in the vast commerce of the United Kingdom. On the other hand, the puJMIc I in1 pltclty believes British dofense mea sures have caused numerous German losses. There was great hope ex pressed that some statement of these losses by the British would be made by Sir Edward Carson today. First lord of the admiralty was due to inuke his first detailed speech as a minis ter In presenting the nnval budget to the house of commons, Sir Edward is known personally tu favor greater publicity for the op erations of the antl-submarlue guards, but any revelations of cap tures or sinkings of U boats would be contrary to a policy of silence to which the British government had ad hered since the start or the war. But ir the admiralty lord dues not bare these tacts, he Is at least expect ed formally to announce the official 11k ii res of shipping clearances and of losses by submarines and mines. Ixtndon newspapers during the past few days have reflected a sentiment fostered by a certain group of Brit ons, urging that Admiral 1-ord Fisher again be given a voice in admiralty councils and granted free lis ml to cope with ths submarine danger. The former sea lord Is known to have cer tain plans to this end, but Is quoted by his advocates as being unwilling to put them into operation unless given a, free rein. The Northcllffe newspapers sre bit terly combatting such a change whereby Fisher, who is now 7 years old. would be put In charge of work carried on by younger and more energetic men. Ossoribsd.
