HEAVY SNOW
AT PIERCE
Five Feet on the Level, Heaviest
Since the Winter
of 1885

Sampson Snyder, merchant of Pierce,
arrived in the city today to purchase
stock at the local wholesale houses.
When questioned about the winter in
the Pierce district Mr.. Snyder said that
that region had been enjoying an old
fashioned winter. The first snow fall
came on the 7th of November and
since that time the ground had not
been bare There was now five feet on
the level in the Pierce district, the
heaviest snow fall since 1885.
The weather has not been cold. Six
degrees above zero is the lowest tenn
perature of the season, but there is no
break in the snow fan and unless the
best of conditions prevail Lewiston will
see higher water this spring than since
the flood of 1894.
There is very little work being done
in Pierce this winter said Mr.. Sny-
der A few men are working on the
Wild Rose and q few on the Crescent
and that is nearly all. The winter came
on so early and the snow has been sc
deep and unbroken that several prop
critics that expected to work could moi
get in their supplies"

not getting away with the other man
rode direct to HoXley's a SON n-law of

in the hold up at Green creek a few
weeks since, when Barney Steuber was
robbed.
Further facts relative to the shoot
ing show that Keuter was twice hit
during the fracas. The shot thai

HOW THE JAPs KNEW ABOUT 1T
Story of Japanese Foresight Which
Helphed to Victory

A story is being told which sheds an
interesting light on the marvellous fore
sight and precaution that characterized
the preparations of the Japanese for
the present war. Some years ago
Japanese agent came to Philadelphia
with a letter of introduction to a prom
limit Philadelphian who had travelled
in Japan.
The Philadelphian tells the story.
The letter was written by a Japa-
nese official who know the Philadel-
phian. and it stated that if he would
help the bearer in what he desired that
the favor would be greatly appreciated.
The favor was for the Philadelphan to
simply Introduce the agent to a first
class firm of detectives. This was done
and the agent described as a response
BILE person. He had plenty of money,
and a bargain was made with the firm
the latter to receive a large sum of
money,
The detectives were required to dress
| in the clothes of laborers and secure
work in Cramps ship yard and then to
gather full information about the Rus
sian battle ship Variag, then in early
course of construction. This they dld
and the japanese government was sup
plied with every detail in the construc-
ton and armament of the Variag. The
officials at Cramps do not yet know
exactly how the Japs obtained it.
