ting out of the drifts that cucumber
every street and prevent the handling
OF traffic. either by wagon, rail or
automobile. A passage has been
cleared through the center of Seven
teenth and Sixteenth streets, and Col
fax avenue is the only route by which
access may be had to the upper part
] of the city known as Capitol hill. For
the first time in history the tramway
company has been unable to make an
impression on the mountains Of snow !
encumbering the avenues. in spite of
the use of rotary snow plows, push
plows and rotary sweepers.
SHELTERED IN AUDITORIUM.
Thousands who we're unable to
reach their homes Thursday night
and Friday morning we're accommo-
dated with cots in the municipal audi
torium, and most of these we're sent
to their homes as fast as transporta-
tion could be arranged today. The
greatest fear is from fire, as it would
mean total destruction under existing
conditions, since the fire department
cannot move. A fire patrol has been
organized and all persons are eau
toned about the use of fire.
This latter injunction is hardly nee
essary, since the big skyscrapers are
without fuel and few householders
have more than a few days supply
!, in their cellars. This is due to the
fact that the proximity of the city
:. to the coal fields has encouraged con
sumers to live on a hand-to-mouth
supply, delivered fresh from the
:, mines every morning. This has
caught most citizens with small
stocks OF fuel and until train service
Z is restored the trouble cannot be
overcome.
: CHILDREN MARoONED.
Notwithstanding that schools closed
!. at an early hour, hundreds of chill
dren were unable to reach theil
homes, and were cared for by thost
living in the vicinity of the schools
