lucrative one, and it is not surprising that
there should be lively contest for the posi-
ton. 1t is, however, authOritatively an
nounced that the contest is happily ended,
THE TINES, will receive the appointment.
The contestants were e. o. Dewey, IRA
&. Curry and Otto Sprague, and there is no
question but that any one of the trio would
have made satisfactory postmaster; all
have worked faithfully for the party of their
choice. 1t may be said. not in any sense
disparaging of the other contestants, that
Mr.. Dewey had been afforded greater OppOr-
tunities for doing work, and that 1t was
intelligently and efficiently improved.
AS editor of the leading paper in Owosso
he has come into close contact with the
people of OwossO. Not alone in Owosso
has the influence of his stalwart republican
paper been felt, but over the county and
throughout the state, and his appointment
will be hailed with delight by his many
friends in Owosso county, district and state.
No appointment could possibly have been
made that would give such universal salts
faction. We heartily congratulate Mr..
Dewey on his forthcoming appointment not
because of his being an editor, but for his
manliness, his sterling character and faith
fulness to his honest convictions. 1t is
pleasant to see such man partially re-
warded In the present life.
Ithaca Herald: Congressman FOrdney
has decided to appoint Editor K. o. Dewey.
of the Owosso TIMES, postmaster of
OwossO. The appointment is well merited,
both politically and socially. Then, too. it
is always gratifying to see hard working,
printer recognized. ed" deserves just
what he gets. Congratulations.

by Snowbanks From Four
to Eight Feet in
Depth.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

OMAHA, March ia Bee special
from Rapid City, S. D., says: The biz
zard that swept over the country east
of this city last week was the worst
ever experienced here. Reports just
coming in say at least two lives were
lost. The son of Shelby Reed, a large
sheep, is missing, and there is little
doubt that he persisted. A mail carrier
named Pearson is missing. Shelby's
horse came home riderless during the
storm and the saddle has been found.
1t is feared others were caught in the
storm and have persisted.
CHEYENNE, Wyo., March 12.-The
latest news received here from the
Cheyenne and Northern passenger
train, snowbound near Iron Mountain
for over two weeks, is that the train is
expected to arrive here about Tuesday.
The relief train sent from here on Fri
day has been unable to make much
Roadway against the snowdrifts. AL
though the provision supply of the i'm
prisoned train is small, it is said there
is no danger Of the passengers suffering
for the want of food. The farmers in
the vicinity are supplying them with
what they can spare from their limited
stock on hand.
DETROIT, Mich, March IA spe-
cial to the Tribune from Bessemer says:
The heaviest storm in the history of
the snow belt is prevailing. For forty
eight hours all trains have been showed
in at different places. Streets are block
ed by banks of snow from four to eight
feet deep. This, with former storms,
will make the total fall of snow about
eight to twelve feet on an average In
some places the drifts are from the top
of one roof to another. Telegraph wires
are down and all communications are
by private lines.
A special from Houghton says: A
bowling blizzard for the past twenty
four hours has tied up everything. All
trains are Cancelled and no railroad
communication with the East has been
had since Saturday. A double-header
sent out this morning over the Mineral
Range struck a snow bank twelve feet
high one mile west of Haycock and a
gang of snow shovelers was dispatched
to shovel the engines out. Snow drifts
eight feet high are in the streets.
Calumet reports the streets complete
ly blocked and in places the drifts
| cover the first story of some of the
business houses. Joseph Wilmer, a
trammer, was found frozen to death to-
day.
MILWAUKEE,, March 12,-Through-

portion could be set apart to be used
as an American cemetery and the site
of a mortuary church. A few thousand
dollars spent upon the rest would make
a beautiful recreation ground, including
a half-mile racetrack, a baseball dia-

Wood. military Governor, and other
prominent Americans favor the pro-
ject.
Senior Bacardi, Mayor Of Santiago, to-
day planted a tree of liberty in the
Plaza Dolores in the presence of more
than 5000 children, representing the DIFF
ferent schools of the city, as well as
large concourse of citizens. He spoke
of the glorious deeds of Cuban patriots
during the last thirty years and of their
uphill struggle in the face of immense
odds. He paid warm tribute to the
good work done by General Wood, and
glowingly prophesied regarding what
will be done when the Cubans manage
their own country without assistance"

MANY HEARTS TO BE
MADE GLAD THIS WEEK

CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA-
MENTO, March FIT is expected that
during the present week Governor Gage
will make a number of appointments and
thus make happy many Republicans who
have been slated for several of the places
within the gift of the Chief Executive
since the beginning of the year. 1t is
necessary that some of the appointments
to be made by the Governor shall be con-
firmed by the Senate. Appointments of
this class are the ones that will be an
nounced during the present week that
they may be acted on by the Senate be-
fore adjournment of the Legislature.
There are several candidates in the field
for the position of State Labor Commits
sioner. One of these is Lou Martin, SER
geant at arms of the Senate. Martin is
well liked and highly esteemed by men Of
all shades of political belief and during
his incumbency of his present position he
has gained a host of friends Contrary
to the general rule in such cases, Martins
candidacy for the position of Labor Com
missioner is a popular one.
