and Heavy Snow.
States in the upper Mississippi and
Missouri valleys and the basin of the
great lakes were swept Tuesday and
Wednesday by a raging blizzard that
caused great property damage and dan
ger of floods and blockades. Wednesday
the storm center was over Lake Michi-
gan, and a terrific gale blew over western
md northern Michigan, where tele-
graphic dispatches reported railroads tied
up by the snow and many narrow es-
capes Of vessels on the lakes. Tuesday
night the storm swept Nebraska, west
ern Iowa. the Dakotas, Wyoming and
Kansas. Street cars were stopped, great
damage was done to lines of commune
cation and railroad traffic was seriously
interrupted.
Many Of the storm-bound cities of the
West report the blizzard as one of the
worst Of the winter. The line of freez-
ing temperature ran through the extreme
southern portion of Illinois and west of
the Mississippi as far south as central
Arkansas and Texas. In Chicago
houses were unroofed and telephone and
telegraph wires were damaged. In north
west Michigan the heavy snow caused
Generalization among the transportation
lines. Crews of the boats that put into
the Michigan harbors storm-beaten and
icc-covered reported that the waves were
of enormous height. Reports from Wis
consin tell Of 20 and rain storms, with
rivers running out of their courses. At
Omaha, Neb., railroad traffic was i'm
peded, the street car lines blocked and
the whole city practically %snowbound.
