HEAVY SNOW VEL
COME AT TRUCKEE
Especial to the Silver State.)
Truckee, Cal, Jan. Is, 1914.

lruckee, tal., Jan. Id, 1917
The heaviest snowstorm of the sea
son has fallen during the past 4S
hours. The pleasure of the large
crowd of visitors at the Truckee win
ter carnival was greatly enhanced to-
day by heavy fall Of "the beauti-
ful' snow, that is the delight of the
joyous revelers. This is the heaviest
snow of the season and is what the
management of the carnival have long
hoped would come. Hilarity reigns
supreme in this playground of ice and
snow and the one is indeed fortunate
who passes the ever-increasing crowds
Of fun lovers without a happy greet
ing of snowy witness. Bright and
early this morning six and eight-horse
teams with sleighs and roolers were
busy breaking roads throughout the
countryside. The steaming horses,
vociferous drivers and enthusiastic
people together make a scene that
places Whittier's description of a
New England storm in the background
as a poor substitute for our Sierras
wealth of the billowy white blanket.
The motion picture company are
ticnal winter conditions and are
working overtime taking the classiest
snow scenes ever projected on a
screen. Now and then, rushing along
the track, appears the Southern Pa
ciflc snow plow totally enveloped in a
great cloud of white, the iron monster
cutting its giant swath through the
mountains of snow like some great
sea monster pictured in times of old
In the afternoon and evening the
ice palace is over-crowded with a
laughing crowd of skaters, circling
round and round the mammoth ice
pond which is exquisitely frozen, fur
nishing the best ice Truckee has seen
in years. Some are just beginners at
the difficult art, as attested by the
shrieks of laughter accompanying
their ridiculous contortions as they
fall to the ice, and some are experts,
grand in their daring feats, grace of
movement and the fantastic figures
performed on ice. The toboggan slide
is one continuous shout of hilarity
and enjoyent, the participants appear
ing like miniature snow men are
drawn up the hill, only again to be
swiftly rushed to the bottom and
shrouded in a flying cloud of snow
The different organizations through
out the state are fast taking advan-
tage of this ideal winter condition and
dates are now well filed up to the last
of February. The shriners have re-
served January Goth, the Moose club
February 18th, the Native Sons Feb
ruary 18th, the Red Men February

arranging for dates In the near future

OREGON SHORT LINE
is REACHING OUT

The Oregon Eastern, road 56
miles in length and running west from
Vale to Juntura, was taken over by
the operating department of the Ore
gon Short Line on January |. Train
service consisting of tri-weekly
combination train from Ontario to
Juntura will at once be put on in ad
dition to the regular service.
The taking over of the Oregon
Eastern by the Union Pacific system
is evidence that the new line under
construction is soon to become new
and shorter route into California. The
entire line of the Oregon Eastern is
constructed for standard guage
road, is laid with the heaviest steel,
while the bridges along the line have
been constructed for heavy traffic and
ere the dawn of 1915 it is believed
the road will connect with the south
ern road of the Union Pacific, giving
a shorter and more direct route to
California. Owyhee Avalanche.

Calm Defends Title
Against Chambers

In spite OF the fact that he has held
the 1914 billiard championship Of Nc
braska but few weeks. Albert Calm de-
Tended his title with ease last night In the
challenge match played with w. n. Cham
bers at the Symes billiard parlors The
final result of $50 20 139 is fairly indica-
tive OF the relative skill presented by the
opponents at the match last night.
Chambers was erratic In critical periods
OF the game and perslstently failed to
make seemingly easy shots which would
have put him In position for bigger runs
during the game. Calm. though not brill
lant at any stage, was steady throughout,
and his regular scoring kept his opponent
a poor second during the entire contest
The highest run OF the game was thirty,
which was made by both players during
the game.
In three weeks Harry Symes. who
ranked second In the state tournament.
will play Calm for the championship. The
match promises TO be one OF the best con-
tests staged In Omaha during the present

MILBANK WILL VOTE
ON MUNICIPAL SALOON

MILBANK, s. D.. March 1s.--(speclaI)-
A pronounced sentiment exists here in IA
vor Of establishing municipal saloon.
and It is expected that at the annual city
election in April the proposition OF install
ling such a saloon will be submitted TO
the voters. II is estimated that such a
saloon would pay the city a revenue 0t
not less than 5000 per year and that II
might exceed this figure. The temperance
people OF Milbank are as bitterly opposed
TO a municipal saloon as to the regulation
retail liquor establishment, but II license
carries at the annual election IL is be-
iieved the voters also win sanction the
city engaging in the saloon business.
