snow and cuts were drifted level with the
surrounding country. In the cuts the
snow had drifted TO depth of from two
to ten feet and in many instances the
drifts were from 200 TO 800 feet in length.
Thursday the snowploWs were run
through these drifts seven and eight
times and when night came conditions
we're worse than in the early morning
when work was commenced.
Deep Drifts.
In the yards at Bonesteel and Winner
the snow was drifted to a depth of six to
ten feet and, in order to get cars out Il
will be necessary to shovel through.
On the Omaha road from Blair TO Sioux
City and across from Emerson to Norfolk
there was from twelve to fifteen inches
of snow on the ground prior 10 the be-
ginning of the present storm. This storm
added ten or more inches. and with this
great body of snow moving, cuts have
been filled to their tops and packed in
until IL Is about as hard as ice.
Along the Burlington the storm appears
TO have been the most severe on the AL
lance division, where from twelve to
eighteen inches of snow fell Thursday
and Thursday night, with still moro fall
ing during all Of yesterday. This was
driven along by a thirty-mile wind,
completely filling up all cuts and low
places. Cuts eight, ten and twelve feet
deep, and some of them 500 to 1000 feet
long, were filled to level with the sur
rounding country. This condition extended
as far east as Broken Bow. East of thegc
the wind was strong, but the fall OF snow
was lighter and the old snow was held
in place by the thaw Of Thursday.
Branch Lines Tied Ut.
Burlington branch Zines north OF the
Platte were completely tied up, but on
those south train service was maintained
though nothing was run on schedule
Little effort will be made to open the
road until the storm abates.

GUNNERS CAPTURE HONORS
Trim Clarks at Basket Ball, 39 to
%, and Determine Tri-City
Leadership.
STAR PLAYING OF YEAR

What undoubtedly was the hardest
fought basket ball gGSne played on the
Young Mems Christian association floor
this season. and on which the Tri-City
league championship depended, was won
last evening by the Townsends over the
Clarks, 80 to % Both teams put up
brand of playing seldom witnessed in
local circles, the contest seeming in doubt
until the last five minutes of play.
The Clarks were the first to score. on
a free throw made by Meyers. Burken-
road of the Townsends reciprocated by
perfect heave from the ten-yard mark.
The Gunners seemed more apt in making
free throws. Burkenroad tossing three
more in the next five minutes Of play.
The first basket was shot by Obie
Meyers. who made difficult throw from
near the center Of the court. Koran
came back with another two-pointer that
clipped the hoop closely followed by a
sensational flip of Wise, which brought
the total to to in favor OF the Town
sends.
GunnerN Get Lead.
As fast as the Gunners annexed cou-
pie Of ITALICS. the Clarks seemed to fol-
low suit, which again brought the total
up to 10 and Q toward the close of the
first semester in the Townsends favor.
AS the half neared the close the Gunners
made a sudden spert, getting away with
six points in a rush, the period finally
closing with the Gunners on the big end
of IL to . score.
The Clarks took a sudden reverse in
their playing in the second period. IN
able to cover their men, the FTownsends
rapidly ran up their total, and although
the Clarks came back with rush for a
short time, they found Vt impossible to
overtake the lead Of their or ats.
In this period the Clarks. were so clos Nly
guarded by the Gunners that all tn :
players tried for unusually long shots,
which they seldom negotiated. Short,
lightning-!ike passes and excellent team
work featured the Townsends play in
thfs period.
Features of the Play.
Warren Howard, the eX-Cornhusker
star, played one of the best guarding
games seen on an Omaha floor for some
time, his work in this respect keeping
the Townsends from piling up what
otherwise might have been a much larger
score, The aggressive work OF Hughes
and Burkenroad featured for the Town
sends. the free goal throwing of Burken-
road being unusually good, the forward
! slipping the ball through the rim eleven
times out of sixteen attempts.

COLORADO POSTMASTERS
TO MEET HERE SEPT. l4-i5

In order to prove that Colorado
highways in all parts of the state are
open to auto travel, postmasters from
every town in Colorado have been
invited to travel to the state conyen-

Sept. 4 and 10 In automobiles. This
is the first time in the history of the

their families. that they will be able
to gain first hand knowledge of the
roads which must be used for rural
mail routes.
Clark Cooper of this city, president
of the Colorado State Postmasters'
association. and S. s. Bellesheid Of
Pueblo, chairman .of the executive
committee of the organization. have
issued joint letter and sent out to
the various postmasters of the state
announcing the annual postmasters'
convention viii be held in Canon City
on Sept. IA ad Is.
The association was formed in 1903
and all postmasters are eligible to
membership regardless of the class
of office they reside over.
A feature of the state convention
will be visit on Sept 16 the state
fair and Elks' state convention at
Pueblo. the delegates making The "trip
in their autos. Special entertainment
will be arranged for them.
