Miss Austin of United Charities Re-
ceiving Annual Dues.


Today is the last of the two days
set apart by Miss Nancy Austin, sec
rotary Of the United Charities associa-
ton, for the receipt of dues from as
sociate members at the club rooms on
Valley street. Miss Austin usually
takes half of each day for her investi-
cation and aid work, and spends the
rest of the time in the rooms of the
association, but in order to make it
easy for people to pay their dues she
has stayed in the association rooms
these two days, and a considerable
number took advantage of the oppor-
tunity to call, pay up, and look over
the work of the organization. One
who goes to the rooms with an open
mind will be agreeably surprised at
the amount of work done there and
the good the association is performing
and must feel satisfied that the secre-
tary of the organization is a most eff
f1cient person and much interested in
the problems before her, giving her
whole attention to the work.

of whom have the deep sympathy of

-- The Plow that Broke the Threatened Snow Blockade
ng thrown to right of track.

The purchasers made an offer of a
much lower sum which Colonel Can
non promptly refused. Then came a
second offer of higher figure which
Mr. Cannon was inclined to consider.
Before definitely accepting it, how
ever the great snow fall came here
and the Nevada Northern's general
manager Immediately called off all
negotiations of sale. The plough was
used tc great advantage not only in
opening the road, but also clearing
the pit so that ore could be gotten
out after the first storm. Then came
the second storm in which the great
machine weighing 142,500 pounds
was again in demand and rendered
excellent service. Strange to say on
third occasion when we had only
one inch of snow fall. this slight
amount drifted into the cuts and
filled them. The deep snow had
crusted on the top and the light snow
blew Off this crust into the cuts block
ing certain places as completely as
did the former heavy snow falls. Gen.
eral Manager Cannon feels that in
the three cases the plough has been
of such great service that it would be
poor policy to dispose of it, so any
overtures along that line in the fu-
ture will receive no consideration.

The above picture shows the great
rotary snow plow of the Nevada
Northern Railway Company at work
in the big pit at Copper fat.
This big plough has been in the
property of the railway company for
the past nine years, but prior to this
winter has never been really called
into service. On one occasion about
three years ago it was taken up the
canyon and tried out on a small three
foot drift of snow. The plough is
constructed to cut ten feet nine
inches and works to best advantage
in a snow bank from seven to eight
feet deep. The rotary Is operated by
its own engine and the operator oc-
cupies position inside the housing
as shown in the picture. The loco
motive shown serves only to move the
great plow While the rotary is one
of the best machines of its kind In
the world and will work through any
snow bank II is especially designed
to meet conditions where snow falls
are much heavier than they have been
here for many years. By reason of
this fact General Manager Cannon

plough by California parties. He Of
fered it for sale and fixed a price.
