Never before mas Boise and vicinity
experienced such a storm. The snow
is heavy and packed tight thus MAX
Ing it hard to clean from sidewalks and
roofs and because of Its heft is one
of the reasons that the street cars have

were late on the job today as they
waited for street car service to start

the deep snow and waded slowly to
their places of employment.
