ONE HUNDRED MILES YET TO CLEAR
SIssoN, CAL, Jan. 27-A strong south
wind blew to day, indicating renewal
| of the storm. The sun was shining oc-
casionally, while snow fell in the sur
rounding mountains. The railroad
shows no improvement, and is in a worse
condition than a week ago. Two cyclone
two plows working still remain where
they were q week ago. The snow is thaw-
Ing in the day time and freezing at night.
This makes the mass very compact, rem
dering removal difficult. The enormity
of work may be realized when it is stated
that there are over 100 miles of track to
clear.

fire. A few feet away from the stick. was
a small armful of excelsior, saturated with
coal oil. The exact object of the incen-
diary In firing the house IS unknown. 1t
