In the Storm Emhrace

OMAHA, Dec. 29'-All day yester-
dap a blizzard prevailed throughout
Nebraska. The western part of the
state was in the storms embrace sew
eral hours earlier than in the eastern
part. Tie weather turned intensely
cold. the wind blew al terrific rate
and the snow fell in great quantities.
Traffic on all the railroads ia the stat e
was seriously retarded, anu in many
eases SlOng the western division Of the
Union Pacific trains were blOckaded.
The snow Quilted furiously and stock
suffered intensely. The farmers feel
partially compensated for the loss OF
stock in tue fact of having their win
ter wheat well projected. In the int
riOr of the state a heavy fall of snow
occurred before il turned so cold, con-
sequeEtly the winter grain is well pro-
tected. The storm extended through
out Kansas, Colorado, Wyoming and
the Dakotas. In Wyoming the loss oi
stock is reported as being unusually
large, with a complete train blockade

as he landed, saying that the lading of the

A alc CORPORATION
Said to HAVE Its Eye on Portland
wharf Properly.

1t is reported that an agent for corpor-
alton representing $30.00o.O0O recently
made Mr. Peleg Barker an offer for Gus
tom House wharf, proposing to build an
elevator at the end, and to make 1t the
wharf of line Of direct ocear steamers.
Mr.. Barker. 1t is understood, did not ac-
cept the offer directly. but will hold it un-
der consideration, and there is said to be
possibility that the change will be made
within year or less. OF course the COZ
poration most likely to make such ad-
vances would be the Canadian Pacific.
