DELIVERY OF THE MAILS.
Many Hardships Endured by the
Letter Carriers.

Many Hardships Endured by the
Letter Carriers.
The City Postoffice is practically idle as
result of the storm. Only local mails
have been handled. and they have not been
very heavy. There have been no mail trains
into this city for over twenty-four hours,
and none has left the city for like per-
iod
The nearest Western mail is snowbound
on the Metropolitan Branch of the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad at Gaithersburg.
This train has large amount of mail
aboard, and there are two or three other
trains in like predicament at different
points along the road.
From reports the postoffice officials re-
ceived from agents the snow is drifted over
the tracks all along the line, and the
trains cannot pull through until it has been
cleared away. Snow plows and large
forces of men were put to work early this
morning at different points, and it is ex-
pected that the roads will soon be Iun-
ming again.
An attempt will be made to send regu-
lar mail train out this evening via the
Southern Road. AS no trains have come in
on this road the officials. both of the post
Office and the railroads, have doubts as
to whether the train will go through
The letter carriers experience great Gif-
ficulty in collecting and delivering the
mails. In some cases they are compelled
TO go through huge drifts to get at the
mail boxes, which are frequently buried in
the snow. Unless a man is very familiar
with his route it is said that he would
miss some boxes, as they are completely
! hidden from view.
This will cause a great deal of incon-

/ pie who are in the habit of exchanging
valentines, il being st. Valentines Day

ITCHING PILES AND OTHER RECTAL.
TR0t BLES EASILY CURED BY A
NEW AND SAFE METHOD
Remarkable Number of Cures Mad.

About one person in every four suffers
from some form of rectal disease. The
most common and annoying is itching
piles, indicated by warmth. slight mois-
ture. and intense, uncomfortable ifching
in the parts affected.
The usual treatment has been some sim
pie ointment or salve which sometimes
gives temporary relief. but nothing like
a permanent cure can be expected from
such superficial treatment
The only permanent cure for itching niles
yet discovered is the Pyramid Pile Cure.

other form Of piles, blind, bleeding. or
protruding. The first application gives in
slant relief, and the continued use for a
short time causes a permanent removal
of the tumors or the small parasites which
cause the intense itching and discomfort
of itching piles.
Many physicians for a long time SUD-
posed that the remarkable relief afforded
by the Pyramid Pile Cure was because
it was supposed TO contain cocaine. opium.
or similar drugs, but such is not the case
A recent careful analysis of the remedy
showed il TO be absolutely free from any
cocaine, opium, or in fact, any poisonous.

For this reason the Pyramid Pile Cure
is probably the only pile cure extensively
recommended by physicians. because it is so
safe, so prompt in The relief afforded. and

piles except a surgical operation

AT THE EMERGENCY HOSPITAL.
Many Patients Bcing Treated for
Frost mites.

A number of cases of frost-bitten hands
and cars were treated at the Emergency
Hospital today.
The most serious was that of Fred He'll
brun. a market man, who lives at 1908
Ohio Avenue northwest. He was COM
PEELED to be out of doors last night, and as
a result his hands became so badly frozen
that the surgeons are of the opinion that
amputation of both hands may be leces-

Scenes Mt Lincoln Park.

One of the most beautiful sights in con-
nection with the storm last night was wit
messed in Lincoln Park, where the wind
had full sweep. The drifts would be piled
many feet high by the gusts, only to be
whisked away by succeeding blasts. At
times the drifts would form themselves in
to fantastic shapes. often resembling hu-
man beings. On more than one accession
residents in that section braved the storm
to rescue what appeared to be some poor
mortal who by force of circumstances was
compelled to be out, only to find that be
had beer the victim of his Imagination.

G week at least.
The Capital Railway, running from the
navy yard gate TO Congress Heights, Will
undoubtedly be opened up before most OF
the other suburban railroads. This road
does not pass through the deep cuts that
the other country lines do. The track, for
the greater part, runs on high. open
ground and the wind blew the snow from
the tracks, leaving a large part of the road
comparatively clear. In the streets of Ana
costa the road is badly drifted. but the
railroad officials hope TO surmount this
difficulty during the day. Up to a late
hour this afternoon no cars were operated
and the citizens OF Congress Heights were
compelled TO remain at home.

sToRMBoUND ACTORS.
Drew in Baltimore and Ward and
VOkes in Richmond.

John Drew, whose engagement at the
Lafayette Theatre was to have begun last
week is still held storm prisoner at Bal
timore, and will be forced to remain there
until the railroads are able to get trains
through. The statement was made at the
theatre today that the managers of the
house and the company hope to give a
performance tonight, but all depends on
the success the railroads have in getting
trains through. Ward and Vokes, the joint
stars. booked for a weeks engagement at
the Columbia, are held captives in Rich
mond, and they, like Mr.. Drew, are wholly
dependent upon the movement of trains.
At the Office of the Atlantic Coast Line it
was stated today that no trains are expect
ed from Richmond today. and it may not
be possible to get trains running by to-
morrow

Passengers of the SnowbOund Trail
Mt Four-Nile Run.

The passengers on the train of the
Washington, Alexandria and Mount Ver-
non Electric Railroad. which was snow
bound at Four MileRun, reached Alexan-
dria this morning after a terrible expert
ence with the snow and cold. They were
compelled to remain in the cars at the
powerhouse throughout the night and early
this morning started for Alexandria on
foot With the assistance of snow shovels
and brooms they managed to clear a path
way through the snow and arrived in Alex
andria before noon.
They were nearly exhausted when they
reached this point from the struggle they
had TO get through the snow and the lack
of food, as none of them had anything to
eat since early yesterday morning.

tural lands were unavoidably included
and provision was made by Congress
for surveys of the Forest Reserves and
the REIMBURSEMENT of their boundaries
to throw out lands more suited to
agriculture. Congress appropriated
money for these surveys to be executed
by the Geological Survey and the work
has been carried on energetically to
the limit of the money allowed.
Through the investigation of the
Division of Forests in the Geological
Survey and through the Superintend-
lent of Forest Reserves for the state the
Secretary of the Interior is gathering
information as to the character of
lands in the Reserves and the separa-
ton of agricultural lands from forest
lands follows as speedily as appropria-
tipns for the work of classification
permit.
"The people whose homes are with
in the areas now reserved need suffer
no hardship in the meantime. They
should stand by their homes and sup
port tbe community in which they
live. And to hasten the final adjust
ment of the boundaries of Forest Re-
serves they may urge the importance
of prompt action upon the Representa-
lives in Washington. Port Angeles

Glowing Reports of Puget Sound.

C. w. Mott, immigration commits
sioner tor the Northern Pacific return
ed to st. Paul from an extended tour
along the western end of the road, and
is enthusiastic over the condition OF
general business and the development
of this country. Many new towns
have been located in the far West dur
ing the past year along the various
extensions of the Northern Pacific,
and the influx of new settlers has
wrought many changes. In talking
of his trip Mr.. Mott said to a Pioneer
Press reporter:
.'The Puget Sound cities seem to be
perfect beehives. Seattle, Tacoma
and Portland are enjoying considerably
increased trade, and in talking to sew
eral travelling men representing ST.
Paul and other Eastern iobbing houses,
their only complaint seemed to be
that while they could sell all the goods
they desired, they could not get their
orders filled as promptly as they wish
ed.
'"The lumber industry has taken
new life, and rail shipments are larger
than ever before. In talking to one OF
the prominent lumbermen, he told me
i that his output had been almost 3333
percent greater than last year, and it
had come from increased rail ship
ments to the East, and he had filled
extensive timber orders for Manila, to
be used by the government. His
other exports trade, to Japan, China
and South Africa, had also increased
in proportion.
"With the rapid increase of the
timber and mining industries in west
ern Washington. and the large influx
of people to the cities and towns, there
is splendid opportunity for the es-
Enlistment of creameries, and fruit
and truck farms in that locality, that
would yield an immense profit. All
this increase seems 10 be perfectly
healthy and legimate growth, nothing
in; the nature of a boom, and the only
famine seems to be on the part of
those engaged in manufacturing and
other businesses to get help enough"
Ledger.

A DISPATCH mentioned elsewhere
states that the sale of million acres
OF timber lands in Western Washing
tor has been made by the Northern
Pacific to Fred Weyerhauser, the big
iumberman. The newspaper reports
are more or less guess work as yet, but
it is said that while the consideration
was about $6OOO,OOO, the number Of
acres was nearer l 400 900. It is NOT
known how much of the company
lands were included. but it is probable
that the agricultural and thinly tim:
bered lands were not included and will
be on the market in sixty days. This
immense deal is an evidence that the
future will see even more extensive
numbering and milling operations
The changes of the next ten wears will
be greater by far than those of the last
decade, and big fortunes will be made
in Washington.

School Discipline.

A Writer in the Elma Chronicle, in
terested in the moral and physical
welfare of the rising generation, voices
his thoughts in the following, which
gives the keynote to the scholars con-
duct in the proper home training:
cit seems that our teachers in gem
eral and some in particular have been
very severe with some of their pupils,
more SO than should be necessary with
proper home management. Having,
in the past, sent children to school
myself, l understand the Indignation
that is the first impulse of parent on
witnessing the results of severe pun
ishment, but, my dear friends, our
love for our children should be wise as
well as strong. They are our future
citizens, and cannot be good and use
full ones unless they are law-abiding;
and training them for this should be
commenced in the home long before
school age, by making few proper
and wholesome rules and persistently
enforcing implicit obedience,-mildly
if possible but sternly and severely if
necessary. When the child enters
school it should be with the under
standing that full authority is vested
in the teacher, who must be obeyed.
And if the child comes home with a
woful tale of ill-usage, don't, as you
love that child, utter one word of
sympathy, even though you have to
wink to keep back the tears! There
may be another side to the matter,
because-we don't like to own it, do
we?-even your child or mine might
be in the wrong, and, if we are SYM
pathetic, even be mean enough to take
advantage of it, and perhaps be thus
encouraged to become "hard case in
school," a class of pupils who are quite
likely to become different men and
women from what we want our chill
dren to become.
"a much wiser way is TO go directly,
without the knowledge of the child if
possible, and talk the matter over
calmly with the teacher. and in al
most every case you will find that the

ONE needs TO take a trip down sound
to get fair idea of the good times pre-
vailing. In Seattle big realestate deals
are being made each week and a num-
Der of large brick blocks are being
built. The laboring man is in demand
every where, placards being frequent

logging, milling and every line OF

around the street corners, and even
the tramp element seems scarce.
Every man seems to be in motion as
