BAD STORM NEW YEAR
Worst Blizzard of Season
Ushefs in Year of 1911---
Traffic Blockaded on Rail-
road and Highways.

The advent of 1911 was her
Yalded by a blizzard of old time
proportions. Snow fell all day
Sunday and part of Monday and
traffic was impeded by the large
drifts that accumulated on the
highways. Monday morning
the south bound passenger train
due here at 9:45 did not arrive
until 1870. and IN returning not
until 1870 instead of it's sched-
uled time, 2:21. This fall Of
snow puts a true winterv aspect
on the town and reminds one of
the winters past. 1t is curious
coincidence to notice that a sim
liar snow storm occurred a week
previous to New Years, on
Christmas day, but not SO
severe.
Yesterday morning after the
blizzard had ceased, the Their
mometer showed the coolest day
so far seen this seasan. The sill
very thread registered twenty
two degrees below zero. Prior
to this the winter has been of a
balnv nature With the excep-
ton Of one morning last week,
when it was ten below, there
has been no cold spells worth
mentioning. Winter conditions
have been ideal, with good
sleighing, ice to skate on, and
enough snap in the atmosphere
to make ore feel glad to be alive
and go fishing occasionally.

Friday evening, in spite of the

the dancers. Vari-colored lights
were used as signals for the diff

PROPOSE NEW PENSION
Legislation VIII Increase
Pension Roll Forty Million
Dollars If Passed by Con-

A dispatch from Washington
saws that according to a state
ment made bv a member of the
house committee having charge
OF the pension appropriation bill
when that measure is reported
to the house the amount it car
ries will be forty millions IN ex-
sess of the appropriations for
the current year.
This is due, it is said, to a re-
arrangement Of the amounts
and the ages at which service
pensions now are granted. I'm
der the existing law soldier
who served ninety days or more
and who has reached the age OF
65 wears is entitled to a pension
of So a month, at the age OF
| 70 wears to SIS a month. at the
age of rs to a pension of $40 a
m OnIn.
Under the new plan a pension
of SIS a month is granted at the
age Of So; $40 at So years, $25
at 20 years and $50 at rs years
The committee having before it
the age of present pensioners and
their number was able to figure
out that the new plan will en-
tail an annual increase of forty
millions of dollars. Themeasure
if reported in this shape. it is
added, will meet with strong op
position on the floor of tht
! house.
