ABOUT ONE THIRD OF
THE UNITED STATES NOW
UNDER BLANKET OF SNOW

According to the snow and ice bull

partment of agriculture a little more
than one-third Of the entire area of
the United States is at the present
time under snow.
The bulletin is published weekly
during the winter season. The latest
bulletin makes the following comment
on the ice and snow conditions:
Light SHOWS occurred in the Upper
Ohio valley, lake region and portions
of New England. near the beginning OF
the week and again near the middle
in the Upper Mississippi and Ohio val
lcys and lake region Toward the end
of the week snow began over the East
ern slope of the middle Rocky noun
tain region and by Saturday morning
II had extended to the Middle Misss
sippi valley with some moderately
heavy falls in portions of the Middle
Mississippi and Ohio Valleys: and
light falls occurred during Saturday
and Saturday night over much of the
country east OF the Mississippi and
north or the Gull states.
"Ovcr the districts from the Rocky
mountains westward To the Pacific
there appears to have been but little
snow during the week. There is now a
general increase ranging from 1 TO 8
inches or moro over tho depths re-
ported last week from the Missouri
valley and middle slope region east
ward to near the Atlantic coast, the
maximum increase occurring over the
Ohio and Middle Mississippi valleys
and at points In the lower lake region.

region. and in the Far Northwest
"A fairly good depth of snow still
covers the Northern portions of the
winter wheat belt and heavy snow
covers the Middle Missouri and Upper
Mississippi valleys the upper lake re-
gion. and Northern New England.
Tn the mountain districts of the
West there is little snow at the low
er levels. and the amounts stored in
the higher elevations appear to be
generally much less than usual at this
period of the winter. This is especial
ly true as to California and the South
west. where the amount of snow in
the mountains has been unusually
light. and the outlook at the present
time for n good supply OF water for

The withdrawal of permission for
Mexican Federal troops to cross Am

ly to delay until complete under

of troops to pass through. The first
request was for the passage of four
hundred men, but when 1t was inti-

vantage of the permit it was decided to
withdraw consent until Mexico makes
ii clear just how many soldiers she
intends to send to Juarez.

GOVERNMENT ISSUED
EIGHTEEN THOUSAND MILES
OF STAMPS IN 1911

Washington. Feb. 10-If all the post.

cal year were collected and laid END
TO end they would form a chain over
$4,000 miles long. stretching three
fcurths around the world or from New
York to the Philippines and back. The
number was 10, Oel .t39, 76s. with a rep

we're 2-cent stamps and 3.79S.s6i. .030

issue having been placed on sale July
l. lsi7: the total issued during that
year vase s60,3s0. Prepa 'lent of pos
tsgc did not become compulsory until
1856.
The postage stamps of the current
issue have given considerable trouble
to the public and to the postal service
on account of the similarity OF the de-
signs of the different denominations.
All Of the eleven denominations in use
are OF identical design. except that
the l-cent bears the head of Franklin
and the others the head of Washing
ton. There are not q sufficient number
OF distinctive colors for all the stamps
making IL necessady I'm the case OF
those above the 6-cent to use different
shades Of the colors used In the lower
denomlnations. Thus the 1-cent and
the Scent are different shades of green
the S-cent and the 50-cent different
shade Of purple: the scent and the
lS-cent different shades OF blue. In
the rapid handling of mail matter one
denomination Is very apt to be mis-
taken for another especially under ar
t'hcial light. The first six stamps are
Of sufficiently contrasting colors.
The department is now arranging to
print the remaining Ave with different
border designs. Further. the first six
VIII bear the head OF Washington.
while the remaining five will bear the
mead Of Franklin. The 1-cent and 2
cent stamps will also be altered to ex-
press the denomination in numerals
instead OF In words. thus making them
conform to the other stamps of the SER
les Thus they will show the head OF
the first president on the first six de-
nominations and that of the first post
master general. with different bor-
ger design on the last five. The new
designs win be issued within the cur
rent fiscal year.
