snow storm since the winter of 1SS9-1S90
throughout southern Oregon and northern
California has ragged during the last tWen-
ty-four hours. Telegraph and telephone
communication has been paralyzed. Ihe
Southern Pacific has experienced great diff
ficulty in keeping its track clear between
Ashland and Dunsmuir.
The snow plows have been working con-
tinuously on the Siskiyou, where the snow
is seven feet deep on the level and fourteen
feet in the cuts and drifts. and the rotary
plow is now working north from Dunsmuir
All passenger trains have been able to get
through five and six hours behind schedule
time. but all freight trains are annulled.
The railroad officials have been vigorously
combating the storm, and despite Its Sc
yerity believe they will succeed in getting
ali passengers through without serious de-
lay.
The storm center appears to have Deen
on the south side of the Sisklyou, extending
as far as the canyon of Sacramento. with
much drifting of the snow on the south side

bone of the storm is broken. In northern
points of the Rogue river valley it Is grow
ing warmer and raining.

InstitutiOn Designed for Their Study
is Nearing Completion.
Commercial Agent Richard T. Greener,
at Vladivostock, informs the State Depart
ment that extensive improvements have
been made on the Institute for Eastern
Languages in that city and that the struc-
ture, which was entered last year when
half finished. Is near the point Of compile
ton. The various instruction rooms Of
the institute have an average capacity OF
about 800, but only a small number Of
students are allowed quarters in the build
ing, as the major part is occupied by the
director, his family and his staff. The an
nual appropriation for the school Is $4,000
rubles, or $46,350 and is furnished by the
government. Prof. Lugebii, q native of
Alaska, teaches English, as does Mr.. G.
]. Cyechowicz Of Pennsylvania in the town
school of Vladivostock.
The course of study at the institute in
cludes English. Chinese. japanese, Corean,
Mongolian and Manchurian languages, the
ology, oriental geography civil govern
ment, political economy and international
law. All these studies are obligatory with
the exception of thes Japanese. Corean.
Mongolian and Manchlrian languages. In
addition to Chinese ana Englfah. however,
each student is required to select one other
language. At present there are about
forty-eight students enrolled In the insti-
tute proper. though twenty more are ex-
pected from different parts OF Europe. A
magazine is soon to be issued with Russian
translations Of English and French works
on the orient its people, religious and lit

given full police authority. They will be
expected to exercise this authority, and in
that way will be of great assistance in pre-
serving the best of order. OF course their
services will be rendered without pay.
For Police Expenses.
The appropriation of $4,000 for police
expenses is $1,000 more than was asked
four years ago. the increase being made
necessary by changed conditions and the
prospects of a much larger attendance
March 4 next than ever before. Another
reason for the increase Is the desire OF
Major Sylvester to secure arrangements
for roping Pennsylvania avenue that Will
be permanent and may be employed on all
occasions of public parades. The plan Is
to drive into the ground, equal distances
apart two-inch iron pipes. The pipes will
be sunk several feet to secure firm hold.
and the tops will be even with the street or
sidewalk level as the case may be. cap
and block will fit on the pipe SO as to make
It hardly noticeable when not in use. When
It is desired to rope the avenue stanchions
made of pipe fraction smaller in diameter
than that driven into the ground will be
inserted into the base pipe. and the wire
cable attached to the top Of the stanchion.

NEW SHEATHED BATTLE SHIPS.
Awarding of Contracts May BE Post
pOned Until Next Month.

pOneO Sntl Next Month.
There are indications that the Navy De-
partment may defer the award Of contracts
for the three sheathed battle ships yet un-
disposed Of until the 1st Of February, at
which time there will be opened the bids
for constructing three protected cruisers
The reason that is being advanced for post
poning the allotment is that 1t will be
possible to obtain a more equitable and
more satisfactory distribution of this naval
work among the various bidders by having
six ships to distribute at one time than by
trying to parcel them off in installments
The Navy Department Is under heavy
pressure from the congressional representa-
tives of the various bidders, and the Pa
cif1c slope people are especially urgent in
claiming one of these sheathed battle ships.
The laws authorizing the construction Of
the ships are singularly complicated and
conflicting, and it Is suggested that the
governments interests in the matter of q
low cost of construction can best be recon-
ciled with the broader needs of encourag-
ing ship building by making the awards
for the battle ships and protected cruisers
at one time.
The Navy Department has decided to
qualify its decision already announced to
award two of the unsheathed battle ships
to the Fore River Engine Company OF
Quincy. Mass, so as to require the con-
cern, which fs now q partnership, to be-
come Incorporated.
