OYER HALF OF NATION
UNDER SNOW BLANKET

Over half of the United States Is
showed under. This fact is revealed by
the snow and ice bulletin received at
the weather observatory today. The
snow line seems to advance instead of
receding with the approach Of spring,
and there is more snow on the ground
this week than last. Roughly speak
ing, the territory inside line drawn
from Eastport, Me-, to New York city,
from thence to the headwaters of the
Ohio and thence straight across to the
Rockies and up their line to the Ca
madam border, is under snow: In the
very center Of this area Iowa Is
marked as being free from snow.
All the heavy snow in the country
seems to be in Michigan. Calumet
leads with 40 inches; Grand Marais
and Marquette have 36 and 80 inches
respectively. In Minnesota, Hinckley
leads with 20 inches Of the s'beautiful
white,'' Duluth follows with inches,
and Minneapolis and st. Paul trail in
at the end Of the list with l and 2
inches. Moorhead wins the ice cham
pionship of the United States, with "a
inches of ice. Bismarck follows with
&c inches. '-.. - ns..'s-.t - - D. b
The report shows that there has
never been less ice in the great. lakes
than this year and that present con
ditions have not been equaled in many
years. = .-.. ri. {, ) :.
Locally the weather man gives ray
of hope by announcing that it will be
fair and warmer tomorrow ~. ... -

WOMEN DO THE WORK
Not Male Officer at Salvation Army
Headquarters.

There is not one male officer left at
the Salvation Army headquarters in the
old city hall today. Staff Captain W.
H. Gooding was the last to leave his
post, but last night he, too, packed his
grip and departed for the officers con,
gress now in session at the territorial
Headquarters in Chicago. Brigadier
Cousins and the entire headquarters
staff went Wednesday night.
At present the big building is in the
hands Of the army women, who are i'm
proving the opportunity by pushing a
vigorous house-cleaning campaign into
hooks and corners which have been
sacred to the miscellaneous truck stored
away by the masculine members of the
force. The fact that the men are away
does not mean that the army is without
officers. Under the Salvation Army s
articles of war the women take the
same rank as their husbands and are in
command in their absence. Indeed
rumor at the headquarters has it that
they sometimes command even tho the
Steiner member Of the household is al
home. -,~

LARGE INTEREST AROUSED
Meetings by DR.. Richardson Have At
tracted Great Crowds. H.

Each day larger crowds have attended the

WANT NO WOOD PAYING
ON NIC0LLET AVENUE

Property owners along Nicollet ave-
nue. between tho Union station and
Washington avenue, are much exercised
over the plans Of the council to repave
that portion of the street with creo-
soted wood blocks, and will make a
vigorous protest to the council this
evening. ,.>
M. W. Nash, former county commits
sioner, interviewed some of the alder
men today OIL behalf Of interested prop
erty owners who threatened legal pro-
ceedings if the plans were carried out.
''There is not property owner along
this section. who has asked for creo-
soted block paving" said Mr.. Nash.
cit was paved with granite blocks
some years ago, and we were compelled
to pay the entire assessment in one year
instead of in five installments as at
present. Granite is the best and most
durable pavement ever laid in this city,
and it is an outrage to compel us to
bear the expense Of repaving. 1t is as
good now as when it was laid and in
twenty years has not cost cent for re-
pairs. If the council persists in it's
plans we will take the matter into
courts, for such an outrage certainly
cannot be legal.' .=s ',

POLICE FIND CLUES
IN BIG ROBBERY CASE

Police Superintendent J. G. Doyle has
unearthed several important clues in
connection with the plate robbery at
the residence of DR.. J. n. Pinault, 1lO6
Mount Curve avenue.
In following up the clue, detective
has been sent to Chicago to work with
the police there and he has good de-
scription of the man who carried the
plate away in a carriage. The police
have found where the hack was OBJ
tanned and have also learned Of a
tsfence'' in Chicago where an attempt
may be made to dispose of the stolen
articles.
The actual loss cannot be determined
until DR.. Pinault gets home, but the
detectives are going ahead with the
case in order to do as much as possible
before he arrives.
