SNOW FALLING
IN THE SISKIYOUS
Trees Across the Track and Tele
graphic Communication
is Interrupted.
A fierce snow storm raged in
Sierra Nevada and Siskiyou Moont-
ains Monday, and, as a result trains
on all lines of the Southern facino
were a little late. All the snow
shovels of the company were preesed
into service to clear the traces oi tne
snow drifts.
The storm played havoo with tele-
grahp wires. The Southern raomo
Company had no communication
Tuesday farther than Bine Canyon,
in the Sierra Nevada Mountain and
Dnngmuir, on the north. The poor
telegraph service made the handling
of trains extremely diffionlt. Up to
a late hoar no damage along the line
was reported at the local office, al
though in several places trees ;had
blown acrOFB the track and delayed
trains.
