Colorado Roads Unable to Raise the
Blockade.
COLD IS UNPRECEDENTED
HEAVY LIVE STOCK LOSSES ARE
THREATENED.
Feed Running Low In the Powder
River Country-Eforts of the
Railroads to Remove the Slides
Thirty Below Zero In Some Por-
tons of the State.

Denver, Feb. 5.-The conditions in
storm ridden Colorado are but little
changed from those which have existed
for the past ten days, except that to-
day but little snow has fallen. How
ever, reports from all directions in the
state show that more or less snow is
falling tonight, which may develop
into another heavy storm before morn
ing. The cold weather throughout the
state has been unprecedented, the
thermometer registering 80 degrees be-
low zero in the greater portion of
northeastern Colorado ana all the way
from to % degrees below in other
portions of the state. The damage to
railroads has been great and the loss
to stockmen immense.
The Denver & Rio Grande railroad is
still unable to run trains east and
west between Leadville and Glenwood
Springs and several hundred pas
sengers are snowbound at these places.
The company has men and rotary
engines working night and day in the
drifts at ShoShone and the officials
say that the road will be open for
traffic tomorrow. Six slides at Shoshone
have covered nearly 400 feet of track
with snow to the depth of from two to
twenty feet. The weather is growing
much colder there, which is favorable
to the progress of the workmen, as
this precludeS the possibility of another
heavy snowfall as long as the cold
continues. The track over Marshall
Pass has been cleared and the road is
nearly clear to Gunnison on the second
division of the Denver & Rio Grande.
The Midland Terminal road is again
operating trains into the Cripple Greek
district and the South Park has pushed
through the snow as far as Dillon and
Fairplay. From Wyoming come re-
ports of deep snow and undoubted
heavy losses to cattle and bheep.
Throughout the Platte valley the snow
is four feet deep on the level. In the
northern part of the state the snow
fall is the heaviest ever experienced.
In the Powder River country feed is
running low and much loss to stock is
threatened. President J. ". Springer
of the National Live Stock association
says the situation in the storm swept
sections Of the west and southwest is
becoming alarming. He is receiving
reports to the effect that cattle in
Texas are dying by the thousands from
the cold. He says that sheep are
dying in great numbers and the loss
cannot be estimated. Mr.. Springer
expresses very grave fears that the
west is passing through an experience
almost as disastrous as that of the
winter IN 1885
The Colorado Midland has succeeded
in forcing train through the drifts west
ward TO Basalt. where an eastbound pas
senger train was met and brought back
to LeadVille. It arrived there some time
this (Monday) morning The Rio Grande
trains viii now run both ways between
Leadville and Glenwood Springs over the
Midland tracks until their own tracks are
fit for use

The Air Cure.

The Air Cure.
"1t's queer to me-" said healthy look
ing citizen, "that more people don't take
the air cure. There's nothing like a
breath Of fresh air. 1t is delightful and
refreshing, renovating and renewing, up
lifting and invigorating, stimulating and
exalting and without any depression. and
all this is absolutely free. There are far
more people now than ever before in this
country that 60 in for outdoor sports,
for bicycling and all that sort Of thing,
and 80 get the fresh air; but there are
many left who do not give themselves the
benefit of it as they might. 1t isn't
necessary for a man to have a bicycle or
horse or a steam yacht to enable him
to take the air cure. Such helps, of
course, might make it easier to take, but
they are not essential. 1t can be taken
effectively walking, and there's nothing
like It. Air might not heal broken leg,
but for many ills Of mind and body it
will be found sovereign remedy."-New
