The improvised city hospital on Grant
avenue is considerable better than no place
for the accommodation of the poor unfortu-
mates who become charges upon the city.
Several such are now being cared for and
made comfortable by DIR. II. j. Powers,
city physician, w. S. Lewis, superinten-
dent and sanitary inspector, and Gus En-
gel, lined nurse
Yesterday large number of men with
shovels, picks and scrapers were engaged
IN cleaning out the cutters on the east side
of Washington avenue between Twenty
fourth and Twenty fifth streets. The piles
OF snow that had accumulated on the outer
edge of the sidewalk were scraped into the
centre of the street, thus permitting the
cutters to be opened.

Sunday night the Southern Pacific con-
pany sent out a train composed of eleven
cars and coaches, and another train was
sent out yesterday morning. 1t was
thought that by the time these trains
reached Trucl1ee the road would be open
west OF there. The first train was loaded
with mail and baggage. The snow plow
being imprisonel between two collapsed
snow sheds on the west side of the summit,
there really is no telling when the blockade
will be raised. All is pure guess work
At Truckee, Cal, the snow has a depth
OF not less than nine feet. The one story
houses are almost buried out of sight where
the wind has drifted the snow. A gentle
man who has just succeeded in getting
through to this city, says that should an
ouhef heavy storm come on soon, the only
way that the people could move from point
to point around Truckee would be through
tunnels run through the snow. His idea
Is an exaggerated one, for one heavy storm
viii sometimes deposit four or five feet OF
snow IN twenty-four hours.

Commissioner Crors had before him
yesterday one George Hastings, or Hayes,
arrested Saturday on the charge of forging
and uttering a forged order on the post
office for the purpose of obtaining a regis
tered letter. Hastings is messenger for
the hospital and is in the habit of getting
mail matter for patients. The commits
sioner accorded the accused a thorough
examination, and satisfied himself that he
did not do anything with criminal intent.
He did. probably, forge the signature and
get the letter, taking and delivering it to
the owner. This he cid so as to save MAX
ing another trip to the postoffice. After
the examination the prisoner was dis
charged.
