SNOW AND BLOCKADE
CONDITIONS REPODTED DAILY

From Mondays Daily
oven on Cumbres the snow on the

graph poles. The heavy weight on the
wires is pulling the poles down and
bids fair to create havoc with the
service.
This morning the rotary left Pa

will be started over the range to-
morrow. Just how many days will be
required to clear the Ga miles of track
between Chama and Antonito is very
uncertain-not even the most expert
enced mountain railroad men will ven
ture a guess.
Prospects for the blockade to be
raised on the Pagosa Springs branch
today are favorable. A derailed flang-
er delayed operations there yester-
lay, the assistance of a wrecking
crew from Durango being necessary
to get it on the track again.
The Red Apple train which left
here Saturday morning reached Aztec

in Pennington. On the way it was
delayed nearly "a hours near Bondad

A force of men have been down in

Animals not Suffering.

In order to alleviate the suffer
ing of any wild animals not suffi-
ciently supplied with food, the field
men in the Durango Forest reserve
have been making daily trips to the
game refuge since the hard storm
started. Every report that wild beasts
in the section were straving has been
Investigated and found to be without
foundation. The elks are plentifully
supplied with pine, spruce and aspen
boughs. Their ability to locate their
food by their strong sense of smell
is certain to tide them thru the win
ter. The deer have weathered the
storm well and will be able to protect
themselves unless the snow becomes
heavily crusted.

SNOW CONDITIONS
COMPARED WITH 1884

The writer has been asked quite
often the past few days how snow
conditions compare with those Of
1884. Unless actual measurements
have been preserved it is difficult to
state. Many say we still lack con-
siderable of having tho same snow
fall. We can say this, however, that
the heavy snow Of the former period
did not commence until after Feb
ruary 1st and this being the case the
record up to date is considerably
ahead Of 1884. That year we were in
Silverton. 1t was the second of Feb
ruary when the big snow fall set in.
That was the date of the last train
into Silverton for 90 days. Outside
of one storm We doubt If the fall

A BIBLE WITH THE SWORD.

A softening touch in the ghastly
business of war, says the Christian
Work New York;, is afforded by the
fact that the governments of all the
belligerents have allowed the Bible
society to ship its Bibles to and fro.
Thus:
"Since the war began the Bible So
ciety has supplied somewhere about
three million Scriptures to fighting
men, prisoners. wounded, interned
civilians and refugees, and during
that time the ordinary work has pro-
ceeded-the latest ventures of the
committee being the opening OF de-
pot in Asyssinia and the fitting up
of floating Bible house to serve the
10000 miles of the great Amazon
water system in South America.
'The Rev. Mr.. Ritson, secretary of
the British and Foreign Bible society,
at any rate, does not regard the flu
ture of his particular work with de-
spair. In my experience there has
never been a time when people have
taken to the Bible as they are doing
now,' he said, and that interest is
world wide. At the present time we
are selling-not giving away, be it
remembered-morc Scriptures in the
Chinese language than in English
"'rhis interest in the word of God
is one of the really bright spots in
the present gloomy world situation,
and the news of it should gladden. and
enhearten all whose faces are turned
wistfully toward the east, waiting for
the glimmer of dawn that shall
usher in new and brighter day"
Since the outbreak of hostilities we
are informed, 'the society's agents
have been distributing copies OF the
Word of God as tho no war existed.
and unless it is in Warsaw and now
in Belgrade all the depots in tha
capitals of the warning nations aea
still open-cven the Turk has u1t
closed the doors Of the depot Ia Core
Etantinoplc" Mr.. Ritson evplanH
that more than forty langu ga e
spoken by men engaged on the various
battle fronts. As we see:
Leaving out the greatest bclliger
ent nations, whose names readily oc-
cur to any one, there are Flemish.
Bohemian, Serbian, Polish, Esthonian,
West Russia), Lithuanian, Ruthcn-
ian, Lettish, Turkish, Armenian, Ara
bic Dutch Tin South Africa), japanese
Hebrew, and more out of the way
tongues such as Tunsian, Arabic,
Fijian, Magrevi (Morrocco), Persian,
Pasthu (for Pathans), Urdu, Nepauli,
Punjabi, Slovenian, Slovak, Finnish
and Maori"
In all these forty odd languages
the Bible society has the Scriptures
ready, adds the editor of the Christian
Work, sometimes in portions, some
times in the whole Bible, in other
cases the New Testament only. The
plates were ready to print off edi-
tions of any size.

DON'T SCOED FRETFUL CHILD
REN.

That nervousness, fretting and rest
lessness is no doubt caused by worms
or constipation. Instead Of whipping

ment of Kckapoo Worm Killer. Nice
candy confections that kill the worms

The Herald is convinced that pre-
paredness is going to win even IL it
requires getting the nation mixed in
the European scrap. The munition
manufacturers have gone wild with
the millions they have made and have
enlisted the most powerful influences
to aid them-the president of the
United States and an ex-president or
two, and judging from speeches being
made by Mr. Wilson, he Is not going
to stop at anything that will bring
obout tse passage of what is now his
paramount scheme. He has staked
his chances of reelection on the prop
osition. It's hard TO contemplate but
it's the truth nevertheless.

At this time when the respected
president Of the United States is cir
culating around the United States try
ing to induce the people to back up
their congressman in the appropria-
ton of billion or more dollars for
preparedness-for the arming Of men
to go out and kill and main, we take
the opportunity of giving the views
of HELEN Keller, the blind mute who
is creating such Juror in the world
she visits. Miss Kellar places the
blame where it belongs-to the muni-
ton manufacturers and the gold
laced navy and league officers as
well as the gold-laced army officials.
Let our readers who are following
President Wilson in his preparedness
campaign read what Miss Kellar had
to say in New York City recently.

From Tuesdays Daily.
The prospects for the blockade on
the Eastern to be raised at an early
date are not as favorable as they ap-
peared to be yesterday. After bat
tling with snow and ice for hours, the
rotary which left Chama last night
was turned back at Checo, eight miles
from its starting point. Another ef-
fort will be made late this after
noon Those directing the operations
believe the ice will have to be dyna-
mited before the road can be clear
ed.
:. The Pagosa Springs branch was
not opened yesterday as expected, but
the prospects for the work to be COM
pleted today are good.
The rotary on the Southern that
left Mancos yesterday morning ar
rived at Gina Junction at $3.50 in the
afternoon and reached Durango five
hours later This morning a passen-
ger train, consisting Of one coach and
a baggage car was started for Rico
about 8 o'clock. The entire trip is be-
ing made behind the flanger. The
progress over the road is slow, but
it is believed it will reach its desti-
nation before night.
AS yet there is nothing doing on
the Silverton branch. Just now motor
power is lacking. There are experienc-
railroad. men who predict the road
cannot be opened in less than 60 days.
The Red Apple train which left
Harrington yesterday morning with
five passengers on board was held
over night at Bondad. Today it
worked its way few miles beyond.
The track is covered with so much
ice there is little hope of the train
to reach Durango in less than three
or four days.

and slowly wended their way down

over night they continued their travels
to Bayfield, the next day. Saturday
Mr.. McNichols covered tho last

bunch of deer numbering several doz-

river bottom seeking water and
such sustenmce as willows give. The
animals Were too intent on their trail
breaking efforts to give heed to hu.
man beings. At distance several
coyotes were stranded in tho snow
Undaunted by the haid work facing
them, Mr.. McNichols and his COM
panions are preparing to return to the
camp the last of the week. They
are sacking ore and expect to have Il
large amount ready for shipment in
early spring. Harry Lawson and
Peter Hambin, two of the owners of
the Merry Murphy will join them in
n few days and continue to sack the
very high grade ore from the mine
that seems certain to bring them a
good sized fortune before another ~
