EIGHT MOVEMENTS.
a Great Demand for Cattle Cars Ina
Nevada.

Nevada.
SAN FRANCISCO, February l. Since the
blockade has been raised freight move
mente on the Central route have been
remarkably active. There is a great de-
mand for cattle cars from Reno and that
section. Thousands of head of stock
are about to be shipped into this State
from that region, in order that pasturing
may be secured until tho snow is gone
and feed comes. The cattle dealers of
Nevada are eaid to be hard pressed,
owing to the severe weather and great
scarcity of feed. During the past two
weeks the price of hay at Reno has
more than doubled. Hay is now being
shipped into Nevada from this State. 1t
is drawn from different sections. Several
carloads have lately gone from as far
south as Newhall to Reno.

The Damage Done by the Heavy Snow
and Rain Storms.
BONNEVILLE, GAL, January 27.-
During the storm yesterday, ten miles
above here, buried house and two of the
inmates were killed. Many families at
Sierra City, fearing snow-slide, have
left their homes and taken refuge in the
lower tunnel of the Butte Mine. Two
houses of the town are already reported to
have been destroyed by slides.
A San Francisco dispatch Gays tie rail-
road officials at Sacramento, succeeded in
having communication for short time
late late last night with Truckee Office on
the eastern slope Of the Sierra mountains,
when il was learned that the snow is six
tesn feet deep on the track between that
place and the station five miles west Of
there.
A Keokuk, Iowa, dispatch says the
warm weather following the cold snap has
caused the ice to start in the river here,
and in its grinding movement it has
wrecked the new Government boom, 500
feet long, extending from the lower lock OF
the Des Moines Rapids Canal to the draw
of the bridge. A part of the boom which
may possibly be saved from destruction,
was carried a considerable distance below
the bridge. Much alarm is felt by fruit
growers in Lee county, and in fact, all
over this section of the country, for the
safety of the fruit crop. The remarkable
mild weather of the forepart of the season
has developed fruit buds to a dangerous
degree, and the decided change OF the last
week has doubtless wrought vast damage.
There is absolutely no hope for the peach
crop, and the April crops are possibly de-
