Railroads We're Not Seriously
Disconnected.
Trolley Lines Kept Snow
Flows Going.
Four Master Trying to Make
HarbOr Driven Away.

February 10sh may be set down By the
people of Western Maine as the date on
which the first real big snow storm Of
the winter occurred. Not that snow has
uot fallen before but 1t has not come 10
large quantities nor has 1t been accom-
panied by o gale OF wind which caused
much drifting. The snow began to come
down Saturday night about ten O'Clock
and II fell fast and furious all night and
well into Sunday forenoon. In all four-
teen or fifteen inches OF snow fell on a
lsvel but IL driited SO much that It Is
hard to say just how deep the snew Is.
In the country the drifts ran pretty
high In places and caused the suburban
electric lines not little difficulty. AT
North Yarmouth on the Grand Trunk .
train was stalled fer some time on &C
count OF one of these giant drifts.
Breights were not moved very fast on the
Grand Trunk on Sunday and the English
steamer business was set back just one
day on this account. The Maine Central
trains we're bothered by drifting snow q
little and We're all from half an hour to
an hour late during the day but along
towards night they were running well
up to Their schedule tirus. The storm
WOE not as heavy on the line Of the Noun
tain division and CAUSED little trouble.
On the Boston and Maine the storm de-
layed the trains little but they were ell
moving within half an hour Of. their
scheduled.
The Portland railroads kept It's plows
going all day and all night as the snow
continued to drift after it had ceased to
rall. The car service about the oity lines
was excellent however and though there
were not many about, those
who were forced to trave the cold wind
had nothing to complain CT In regard to
the car service. 1t was big storm but
not as heavy as may yet be expected.
The wind blew q gale all night and
kicked up big sea outside the harbor.
Tha schooner Annie Russell arrived
here late Saturday night after trying
experience OF snors. She was caught in
the blow OF Monhesan and ran for Port
land but had TO peat into the harbor
against the gale aud In a binding snow
storm. 1t was an experience which the
captain aud crew of that vessel would
not care to repeat. Just at dark on Sat
urday four mAsted schooner was
sighted of the aapes trying to get into
port. She could not make it however and
we forced 20 run OF shore. This vessel
Is supposed TO b. the j. S. wintlow,
Capt. Smith, as the vessels which wers
in company with the Winslow on Friday
arrived In Boston on Saturday. No
anxiety is felt for the winslow, however,
rs she Is q staunch vessel and In good
hands.

celved many complaints from people who
have employed travelling men to enlarge

fixed upon 1t an exorbitant prics, de-
oiining to return the original unless he
received the money demanded. che vio-
tins. usually women, have paid the price
rather than loss the original and then
came afterward to the police to enter a
complaint.

WOMEN ON THE SCHOOL BOARD.

To the Editor Of the Press:
The Women's Council, an organization
both national and local. IN its character.
represents by liz oonstituen o. several hun
drsd Of the women Of Portland. A good
deal Of time and effort has been expended
by the Council In preparing a list Of
candidates who will not decline to serve,
and who are especially competent for
the position. Why encounter rsfusals or
risk . lack OF time for ascertaining the
fitness OF new candidstesf They we-e
selected with great care. Location was
taken into account as In the cas- Of Deer
ing; but party WIS deemed non-essential
since Republicans and Democrats alike
would It was thought welcome the op-
portunity here offered. Six names were
handed In that there might be o rargs OF
onoics. 1t was far from the thought Of
thoss presenting this list to do more than
express the choice Of the same women
who were instrumental In placing won on
upon the board; and the courtesy of the
committee who suggested joint and
non-partisan action In this matter should
certainly not be construed as desire on
anyone's part to put action into the
hands of few. Any carefully chosen
list handed in prior to the time of nomi-
nation would Of course receive the same
attention as that coming from the Wo-
mems Council. 5.

STERNDERG ON PLAGUE.
Continued from page H.
DURING THE 18TH CENTURY.

DURING THE 18TH CENTURY.
AT the beginning of the eighteenth
century," he continued, "the bubonic
plague prevailed in Constantinople and
the various points along the Danube;
from here it extended, in 1704, to Po-
land. and soon after to Silesia, Lethu-
mia, Germany and Scandinavia. The
mortality in Stockholm was about
10000. The disease also extended
westward from Constantinople, through
Austria and Bohemia.
In 1920 Marseilles suffered severe
epidemic, probably as a result of the
introduction of cases on a ship from
Leghorn. The mortality was estimated
as being between 10000 and 10000.
From Marseilles as a center 1t spread
through the province of Provence, but
did not invade other parts Of France
In 1743 there was severe outbreak,
undoubtedly due to importation from
the Island Of Sicily.
1T would be tedious IL l should at
tempt to give full account of all the
minor epidemics during this and pre-
| ceding centuries, and l must only
| briefly review the history of the dis
| y,
which, happily, has witnessed its ex-
tinction from European countries.
Early in the century QS02) bubonic
plague appeared in Constantinople and
in Armenia. 1t had previously pre-
vailed in the Caucasus, from which
province it extended to Russia. In 1903
to 1918 1t extended from Constantine
pie to Odessa, to Smyrna, and to vari-
Gus localities in Pennsylvania. 1t also
prevailed about the same time in Bos-
mia and Dalmatia. In 1912 to 1914 it
prevailed in Egypt, and, as usual, was
conveyed from there to European
| countries.
LAST APPEARANCE IN EUROPE.
Its last appearance in Italy was at
NOja, on the eastern coast of that
country, in 1915. A limited epidemic
occurred in Greece in 1928, as a result
of importations from Italy. During
the same year 1t prevailed extensively
in Moldavia, Wallachia anr Bessarobia.
In 1913 1t prevailed as an epidemic in
Constantinople. Egypt, which has
been the focus from which the plague
has been introduced into Europe, con.
tinued to suffer from the disease unit
1916, when 1t disappeared from thai
country. The last appearance of the
Oriental plague in Europe, until iIs
recent introduction into Portugal was
the outbreak on the banks of the Volga
in 1889. a.- ... rn..
II will now refer briefly to the his
tory Of the plague during the pas
decade. The disease seems to be al
most a thing of the past, and no longe
