WIND AND SNOW DO DAMAGE
Worst storm I'm Many Years Tears
Up Trees and Piles snow on
Great Northern Tracks.

The worst storm that has occurred on
the line of the Great Northern railway
In this state for many years began Mon
day afternoon and continued until early
and Leavenworth. Snow TO the depth of
six feet fell upon the track, and during a
high wind drifted to banks eight and ten
feet deep. During the storm trees were
uprooted and hurled for many feet. fall
Ing across the track, TO be buried beneath
tons upon tons of snow.
Tuesday nights overland train did not
arrive here until o'clock yesterday aft
ernoon. Passengers brought the details
OF the storm.
1t was. for portion OF its duration the
seyerest ever witnessed in that section.
In the afternoon heavy wind began TO
blow, followed an hour later by heavy
locity until IL seemed as IL the buildings
In the vicinity were rocking Far up in
the mountains TO the east, the snow fell
as If in one great white blanket, although
the wind was not very high.
Shortly after leaving Spokane the over
sent out and for several miles the train
made slow progress behind II. About
twenty miles east of Skykomish the first
trees were encountered. The district is
heavily timbered, close to the rfght-of-
way, and several small trees had been
cut away and the pillow proceeded but a
short distance when II struck with a
thud a giant fir lying beneath several
feet Of snow and full across the track.
From that point progress was slow. owing
TO the timbers and heavy banks of snow.
The thermometer was not belcw zero al
any time. and as the train WIS Kept warm
the passengers experienced little incon-
venience other than the delay oc about
eighteen hours.

IS A LOVER OF IBsEN.
Mis- Clara Thropp Gives Her Ideas
Of the Great Drnmntist.

Probably no more sincere admirer or
harder student OF the works OF lhsen, the
great novelist and dramatist. Is before
the people OF the United States profess
sionally than Miss Clara Thropp. who APP
pears at the Seattle theater tonight In
1bsens masterpiece, 1.-The Dolls House"
Miss Thropp Is the first actress in the
United States who has ever exploited one
OF lbsens plays. relying upon the popu-
larity OF the piece and the interest IN
lhsen's works Her tour last season was
successful, and she is meeting with even
mere marked success this year.
II am intensely In love with Ibsen,"
said Miss Thropp last night. In spite OF
the fact that the popular idea Is that lbsen
suits the Wen educated classes only. l can
only say this, that | find the masses are
equally as well satisfied with this great
author. OF course you know the popular
vote decides everything. In England lb-
sen is now taken seriously. and the Am
erican people are now beginning to look at
his works in the same light. 1t takes
time before people can understand fhsen's
works. but they will love him az do In
"a short time.
'For instance. his new play. When We
Dead Awake was produced in Stockholm
some time ago. Before the piece was on
three weeks IL was translated. and was
being played In four different languages.
Again. In Paris. where since the Franco
Prussien war, no German actress could
meet with other than Kisses and groans.
Agnes Sorma was enthusiastically receiv-
ed In the The Dolls House Sprma and
the piece enjoyed great run. + find that
many people mistake 'Magda' for work
OF Ihsen. This Is an error. | do not think
'Magta' Is anything like Ibsens idea.
She is cold and cruel: Nora, in The Dolls
House Is warm and domestic. Mngda
creates strife and dssen.ion wherever she
goes, Nora brings her ewn domesticity
into every phase OF the play and brings
Joy and peace. prefer Nora as an ideal
character, | tell honestly that have no
sympathy with the passfon-racked stage
heroines. such as Zaza-' The people go
to see such people. but In their inmost
hearts they do not care for such exhibit
lions. The gentle. homeike air will al
ways appeal In the strongest manner TO
the true American girl and woman, and
they will leave the performance in a bet
ter frame OF mind.
Whatever I shall DO In the future,
shall always keep one OF Ihsen's plays In
my repertoire | admire the man and his
works, and love to give TO the world my
idea OF the characterization OF his hero
ines. the purest ana truest. Ia my mind.
