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. The snowfall In the
higher regions Is reported as especi
ally heavy, and the hopes or ths
placer miners are thereby Increased.
The weather is mild and quiet, and
the heavy rail or snow came ss a
surprise. ,

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.
