REAL THING IN SNoWsToRM
RecollectiOns of an English Blizzard
that Put Forty Feet of snow
on Highways,

The mogul engines which were stalled in
the recent blizzard out west dc not appear
to be. worthy successors of a certain Her
cules engine which cut a noble figure in
the English blizzard OF 1886.
To appreciate the role played by the Her
cules some idea must be given of the effect
Of the storm on other methods OF travel.
Fourteen mail coaches were abandoned on
as many roads. Another was dug out of
drifts five times between Exeter and Lon
don.
Another was buried so deep that 1t took
800 men, principally sappers and miners,
several hours to make a passage to the
coach and rescue the mails and passengers,
while near Chatham the snow lay to g
depth Of thirty or forty feet, the military
being turned out to the number Of coo to
clear the way.
In London the drifts were ten feet deep
and hundreds of men and carts were en-
ployed hauling the snow out to the fields
In the suburbs. The markets were in a bad
way. One day only four stall holders we're
able to reach a main market, Greens, which
a few days before the storm were being
sold for 8 pence a bunch at market. now
fetched from 10d to Is, turnips, carrots
and celery becoming equally dear; while
Id handfuls Of parsley realized Is Cd. and
the happy possessor OF a bunch which he
had previously purchased for Cd realized
for his prize no less a a sum than Sc
rs 3D..
Amid all this confusion the pioneer rail-
ways covered themselves with glory by
running trains almost without interruption.
There was a deep cutting on one line where
the snow had drifted badly and, according
to the Queen, great numbers OF people
turned out to see how the Hercules engine
would get along. They imagined. OF course,
that 1t would be stopped. but to their as
constituent the engine dashed right into
the drift. Clearing its way right through
apparently without the slightest difficulty,
the snow at the same time flying over the
top Of the engine chimney like foam from
the broken waves Of a violent sea, ana

master bakers OF Omaha and South
Omaha have organized an association with
twenty-three charter members and will
hold a general meeting at the Paxton hotel
March 2, when the association will probably
become state wide, as lows and other
states near have well organized associa-
lions Of master bakers.
Charles Ortman is ~president-of the new
organizations; T. F. Mulligan, vice presi-
dent, and F. E. Bonnie, secretary.
The call to the bakers OF Omaha to at
tend the meeting at the Paxton hotel and
giving notice of the organization, says;
1t is understood here in Omaha that the
sentiment prevails throughout the state to
bring about a Nebraska State association.
Many expressions to this effect have
reached us from over the state. AS master
bakers, most OF us have come to realize
that we have many interests In common
which can be met only through organized
effort BY cooperation. we can enlarge the
possibilities of every baker In the busi-
ness and thus increase the opportunities Of
every baker In the state.
Feeling that the state looks to Omaha
TO take the Initiative, we OF Omaha desire
TO show an appreciation OF our duty and Of
our sentiment, and hereby call a gathering
OF the bakers OF Nebraska TO join with Us
at Omaha on March 2 and 8 in an effort
to launch q state association. Your sup
port is very earnestly requested and more
tndn all else IL Is urged tnAI you De pleb-
ept In person, With good attendance
ytanted. our success is assured.
The movement Is by no means a new
departure. East OF us the state associa-
tons are accomplishing big things. A few
weeks ago Kansas organized with only
forty charter members. but since then APP
plications for membership have been COM
ing In from all parts of Kansas. Iowa and
Missouri are. strong, and even the young
state OF Oklahoma Is ahead OF us with a
good association. We may be last, but
