world-a playground paradise
for children and grownups-has
Just been presented this city to be
hsed by any and all youngsters of
from five to so who happen to
find themselves at the entrance

years ago, and charmed by the
little city basking in the sun at
the feet of the Coast Range
mountains, decided to make her
home here.

pOrtant, is only one of many
things she has done for the
civic Improvement and

home. She wanted her lat

happiness to others and here
Is how she has done IL.
There is playground nesting
on bluff just stones throw
from the ocean. 1t takes in lit
tie more than three acres of
grounds and buildings. The
buildings are mission in style.
Most of the ground floor of the
main building. through which one
enters the grounds, is taken up
by a theater.
Although seating somewhat less
than 800, auditorium and stage
are perfect in every detail. Here
plays will be given by local talent
under the direction of profess
sional instructor. The theater
will be free to everyone as are all
the other attractions in the play
ground.
Next to the theater is reading

a billiard room.
In the shower and locker
rooms the equipment is modern in
every detail. These rooms are

Washington. Feb. 3.-One OF the
worst storms of the winter is general
Atlantic states. New England and
throughout Canada.
Rain, sleet, snow and wind have all
contributed their quota to the disrup-
tion of railway traffic, the hampering
of wire communications. and, in some
sections. to the raising of rivers to
the flood point, with considerable
damage resulting.
Railway traffic in the northern
states either has been almost suS-
pended or greatly retarded.
In the Middle West many telephone
and telegraph wires have been car
ried down by the sleet and ice. and a
fall in temperature is causing addi-
tional trouble.
Flood Freezing in Streets.
albuquerque. N. NJ, Feb. 3.-Heavy
rains have inundated the business
section of Estanacia, N. M, so that
the traffic through it must be by
wagons.
The frozen ground prevented the
draining away or absorption of the
water and cold snap is now freezing
ii, so that the entire central part
of the town will be a skating rink.
The water has not yet reached
sufficient height to do any damage to
stocks of goods in stores.
Cold increases Phone Trouble.
Chicago. Falling temperatures
throughout the Middle West Tuesday
night added to the troubles of the
whose wires have been working bad
ly for two days.
Wire communication was restored
to all sections of the West, although
in many instances the telegraph com
panies had to resort to expensive in
direct routing.
Through western Missouri, Kansas
and southern Nebraska, it was snow
ing heavily Tuesday night and the
mercury was falling rapidly.
Pittsburg Homes in Peril.
Pittsburg, Pa, Feb. 3.-The crest of
the flood, which began descending on
this district Monday, was expected to
pass the point where the Allegheny
and Monongahela rivers form the
Ohio, at midnight Tuesday night.
The weather bureau forecast twen-
ty-nine feet at the point at that hour.
Early last night the gauge there
showed twenty-seven feet, with the
Allegheny still rising.
The low-lying sections of the city
along the Allegheny and Ohio rivers
were inundated, and trolley and rail
road traffic there was at standstill.
Hundreds of families left their homes
both here and at points up the Allie
gheny river.
The breaking of a huge ice gorge at
Freeport caused the Allegheny to rise
rapidly and much ice flowed out.
Many manufacturing plants along the
three rivers were forced to cease oper-
ations temporarily.
At Martins Ferry, Ohio, 1000 men
were forced to quit work. At East
Liverpool four potteries and the mn-
nicipal pumping station were iso-
lated.
Rain ceased falling early Tuesday
and the thermometer dropping, caused
the weather bureau to express the
hope that the floods crest would not
reach thirty feet.
