Beautiful Falls Deep From

wires Down on the Dominion Line Beyond White Horse-RaiIrSad- ing Proceeds Under DiTTIcuIty.>

The first snowstJrm of the season began yesterday morning and was declared by many to be one of the heaviest on record since the advent of the pale face to the realm. However, it was no worse than often prevails on Puget sound and in other states not particularly distinguished for snow storms. The thermometer stood at 10 above zero at 8 a. m. and TO above at 5 p. m. The snow by midnig last night had fallen probably to a depth of I2 inches, the continuous wind making il i'm possible to ascertain the exact depth. The snow being very light, filled the aimoS- phere and mlSthievouSlv crept in at every crack and unguarded place, and swept in gusts in the faces of those who ventured forth.
 The storm must have been general in the north. As to whether it extended into the interior beyond Bennett was not aseer' tlinable, because the Dominiln telegraph wires were down. The farthereSt point reached by the wire was White Horse, but no report as to weather came in from that .oint. The physical success of the Inter ior telegraph, being practically ihe first in the Arctic pale, will be watched with in 'eres,.
 Between Skagwav and Bennett snow fell and a stiong wind blew all day yeSterdav at all points on the White Pass road. The toldsst point was at White Pass, where it registered : below at SD. m. Atths s'me hour Glacier reported ra above, the warm est on the line. The heavies, snowfall along the road until SD. m. occurred al ! Glacier, where I4 inches was the record Ten inches Of snow f.ll at Bennett. i The snow in the eu.s along the railroad was eight feet deep in places, and th- TO- taiy blow was given a good test in the run across the mountains. She led the way for the passenger train that went out al S:so. leaving 20 minutes late. Bennett was reached at ISIS. lt being nearly dark at that hour, and not desiring to have the venture of a run made back at night while the storm lasted, the management gave orders 10 hold the train at Bennett until this morning, when it will start for Skag' way with the blow in the lead. Ten miles an hour Is the fastest speed at which the blow is driven when at work. lt hos found nothing too hard to go through on this line vet. The management feels con ftent it will keep the road open all winter without serious delay.

of the merchants carry large stocks,
and that not few do a business of sew

The most of the trading is done in cash,
although 1t was difficult before the war.
Then credit was given from coffee crop

A lawn party was held on the lawn of
Mrs. Pinkham of Lydia E. Pinkham Vege-
table Compound fame last evening, at her
residence in Lynn. The people of that
city thronged to this beautiful spot to
make merry, and a right joyful time 1t
was.
The affair was held under the auspices
Of the young ladies' branch Of the Wom-
ans Christian Temperance Union. and
was their annual party, the proceeds Of
which are to defray the expenses con-
nected with running the three drinking
water fountains In Lynn, which were first
established under their direction.
After being presented to Mrs. Pinkham,
whom the reporter found to be a most
charming woman, and by the way, meet
Ing this noted woman face to face inter-

in fact, in all stores.
NO JEWS IN PORTO RICO,
The Porto Ricans do a big business and
they are good merchants They are In
deed such sharp traders that you find
I few Jews In Porto Rico. They can,
am told, give the Jews odds and beat
them. 1t is doubtful whether the Amer
leans can get much Of a foothold here as
merchants. The Porto Ricans are clan
ish; they like to patronize their own
people. They care, however, for the dol
lar, and it may be that the competition
of prices will make a difference.
QUEER BUSINESS SIGNS.
All the business of Porto Rico is done
in Spanish. 1t would be foolish for our
people to send commercial travellers here
who cannot speak Spanish, and an Amer
lean merchant who did not understand
the language would fare badly The
business signs here are in Spanish You
see them over the stores. They are
not the names of the owners and give
no indication of the character of the
goods for sale. There Is one named
La Perla, or THE Pearl" 1t Is a no,
ton store. Opposite 1t is a dry goods
establishment over which I see tho
words Eel Gallo de Oro," or 1.-The Gold
