most pressing job work has come in
during the first part of the week,
taking up time usually expended on
the paper, and it sometimes causes
US to fall little short in some de-
partmenis. -
There are now eos children in the
Weiser public school and the four
rooms are well taxed. With the
prospect Of an immediate future in
crease IN our population, it becomes
necessary to think about increased
school accommodations; we under
stand the trustees have already de-
cided that the third story will be nee
essary next summer.
Frank Harris and +. L. Page went
to Indian valley this week to get a
small band of horses. What they
wanted with horses now we hardly
know, but suspect they intended to
open canning establishment on a
small scale in Weiser. As the horses
were out on the range and not gath
cred as they expected, they did not
bring them down. 4
A. K. Dorsett yesterday had one
of the young men engaged in the
Thanksgiving disturbance arrested.
He plead guilty and was fined $50 OF
fifteen days in jail. The young man
contritely asked the SIGNAL not to
publish his name on account of his
folks. He has no regard for then
when getting into his repeated esca
pades, but, while it will probably no
reform the young man, we obligt
him, simply as one more, and doubt
less wasted, assurance that whenever
he concludes to try and be man there
plenty ready to aid him. Il
A gentleman who has been super
intending some extensive mining
operations in the vicinity of Warren
was in Weiser a few days ago ant
was thinking of locating his famil,
here for the winter, but learning o
the Thanksgiving evening shooting
and other hoodlum escapades wher
the principals were not arrested, b
decided to wait until the town sup
ported officers to keep the rough ele
ment in check. fortunately othe
desirable people are kept away 70
like reasons and we lose in bushes
way; and unfortunately again tn
town is too poor to maintain til
plane of municipal dignity expecte
by people who come from othe
| places.

The Athletic Exhibition.


The athletic exhibition last Satur-
day night was well attended, few
ladies being present, and the audi
ence was we'll pleased with the pro-
gram.
Lightweights Siskron and BeEell
first spared three rounds with even
honors.
Dan Kerfoot gave an exhibition of
punching the bag" and Charles
Westlake of Indian club swinging.
both of which were done in a scien-
tific manner and were given to illus
trate the practice boxers take for
muscular development
Next Earl Tracy and Len Coleman,
alias "Dougan" and "Sport," gave a
three round exhibit of sparring as
practiced by Jack Dempsey and Joe
Choynski.
Then came the event of the even
ing, six round sparring match with
soft gloves for scientific points be-
tween Dan Kerfoot and Charles
Westlake. Both are fine specimens
of robust manhood and we'll scenced
in the "manly art )" Each, knowing
his own skill, may have been little
surprised in the man before him. The
fine work done by each could not but
win the enthusiasm of the onlooker.
Referee BARLEY decided the match a
draw, to the satisfaction of the prin-
cipals and those present. To the
impartial mind the whole affair was
clean and wholesome and nothing in
it Objectionable to any lady who might
wish to attend There was nothing
vicious or brutal, but simply pleas
ant contest of skill in the training
and use of the machinery given mar
by nature, as friendly as the scuffle
of schoolboys. Scientific boxing is
an accomplishment that makes more
of man out of any one who has
true manhood IN him to control his
science in its proper place In Edwin
brood the great Dickens tells how thu
good Minor Cannon used to ''puncl
the bag" in his study before writing
his Sunday morning sermon.
Mr.. Westlake was for some time
boxing instructor for the San JOS
athletic club, and is thinking o
opening a boxing school in Weiser

STORM IN THE sIERRAs.

snow From Thirty 90 Fifty Feet Deep In
the Railroad Cuts.
SAN Francisco, Jan 22 The worst
storm for five years is raging In the Sierras
and threatens to repeat the great railroad
snow blockade Of 1889. Hard packed
snow lies from 30 TO 80 feet deep in the
railroad cuts while on the level az the
summit Of the Sierras il measures 20 feet.
Except for two days the Central Pacific
has kept its overland track clear, but 1t
looks now as though there would be a
serious blockade, as the snow is drifting
badly.
on the line to Oregon the situation is
worse as every train for a week has been
from 10 TO 10 hours behind time On tho
Siskiyou mountains snow lies 80 feet deep
and in the canyons OF the Shasta division
several trains have had TO be dug out by
snow shovelcrs.
The worst part Of the Central Pacific is
the Truckec division. There are the huge
snowsheds and at Emigrant Gap and
Blue Canyon the snow lies so deep that
tunnels will soon have to be dug to reach
windows and doors. The latest report
from the mountains is that trains are
moving slowly, but blockade may occur
at any time should banks Of snow slide
upon the track.
The snow is banked up in places near
ly 80 feet deep and the rotary plows are
beginning to work with difficulty in these
places. Hundreds of men are shoveling
snow so as 60 widen the space between
the banks AS It now is the snow scrapei
the sides of the cars, and as the plowi
cannot work to advantage these shoveler'
working in tiers grade the banks There
are three rotaries and four push plows or
this division. The latter cannot work OF
account of the depth of the snow. but th'
former are kept going night and day.
