SOME SNOW.

After more than 4S hours of almost
continuous snowfall, our people are
at noon today taking stock of the
situation Weather Observer q. F.
Allen reports that up to p. m.
Wednesday, his guage showed 21.2
inches of snow and up to Thursday
II O'Clock, 287 inches had fallen
With the banks piled six feet high
along the business streets, where 1t
has been piled up to keep the walks
clear, the situation now presented is
one that might become difficult to
handle, if the snow should go off
rapidly before either rain or a
chinook wind. Doubtless the city
authorities will do everything possi-
BILE to take care of the water, by
having the trenches and drain-pipes
opened up without delay, but it is
up to every property owner, especial
ly in the business quarters, to rem
der all the assistance possible by
removing the snow from the walks
into the streets beyond the curb-lines.
Do not criticise, but get busy and
help the officials do what Is neces-
sary to be done.

RURAL MAILS TIED UP.

The rural mail carriers have been
making valiant efforts to serve their
routes, but without much success
Howard Snowberger, of route 1,
which covers a considerable portion
of the Payette Bench country, made
an effort to get out with his auto
Wednesday morning, but had to give
it up when he reached Washoe and
return to the postoffice Carrier AL
bert White, of route 2, succeeded
with his splendid team and Light
wagon In serving the north half OF
his route yesterday, but failed In an
effort to get over the other half OF
the route today. Luther Peterson, the
carrier ON route 3, which covers the
Dead Ok Flat country In Oregon,
started out as usual Thursday morn
ing, but up to noon today had not
returned to the office or been heard
from, it is expected that he will
get back this evening however,
whether he Is able to get over his
route or not. The carrier OF route l
did not go today and 1t is not likely
that he or the other carriers will be
able to make their trips tomorrow,
unless the patrons get out and
break the snow for them.

WET AND DRY COMPARISONS.
Saws the Capital News:

Gays Tie Sdplbdl 4<0Wo
1.-The old argument that there
would be more drunkenness under
prohibition than under the system OF
the licensed saloon has been proven
false in Boise as is shown by a
comparison of the municipal court
records for January. 1915, and Janu-
ary, 1916.
In January, 1915. there were 80
arrests for drunkenness and 20 for
vagrancy and disorderly conduct,
most of the latter being more or
less under the influence of liquor, ac
cording to an officer who has been a
long time on the force. The total
arrests for the above offenses were
81.
In January, 1916, there were but
six arrests for drunkenness and five
for vagrancy and disorderly conduct,
making a total of IL arrests for the.
above offeases, thus showing there
were 26 more arrests for intoxication
in one month under the licensed sa-
loon than under prohibition amt 15
more arrests for vagrancy and dis
conduct when the Saloons
were open"

SAD ACCIDENT AT CALDWELL

Genevieve Garvin, aged 13, who
was fatally injured in an accident
which happened at railroad cross
ing near Caldwell Friday morning
died of her injuries at st. Luke's s
hospital in Boise, at o'clock Satur-
day morning
Mary, an older sister, was also bad
! ly injured in the accident, when the
buggy in which the girls were driv-
ing to school, was struck by the Ore
gon Short Line Pony and demolished,
the horse being killed outright. Both
girls, the daughters of Mr.. and Mrs.
IG. A. Garyin, who reside short dis
tance from Caldwell, were taken to
the hospital in Boise. where it is
said hopes are entertained for the
older girls recovery.
A blizzard, which probably hid the
buggy from view as it crossed the
track and prevented the girls from
hearing the oncoming train, is be-
lieved to have been responsible for
the accident The wind was blowing
gale and a heavy snow was falling
at the time the accident occurred.
There is clear view of both the
wagon crossing and the track at the
point where the accident happened,
and but for the binding storm it is
not thought the accident would have
occurred.
