NINETY
FOR CHORUS
THAT NUMBER WILL PARTICIPATE
AT FRIDAY NIGHTS REVIVAL IN
SINGING FAMOUS SONG
Large Chorus of Women in Gospel
Songs was Feature Of Services at
Methodist Church Last Night

The second week of the Methodist
revival opened with large attend
ance last night. A chorus of 10 wom-
en- under the direction of Miss Caffray
rendered very impressively several
gospel songs. 1t was quite a surprise
to the audience that on so unfavorable
night such a very large chorus was
present.
Evangelist Danford spoke on the
subject, "The Christian Program. :"
The sermon was founded on the 18th
chapter of Romans, and set forth very
clearly what the Transforming grace
of God will do for the one who will
receive it." The sermon was a strong
appeal to all to come up to the stand
ard set in the Bible. Since the Bible
is the book of authority on what is
essential DR.. Danford urges strongly
on his hearers to follow fully the
Bible rule for the Christian life.
Friday night of this week will be
great occasion. 1t is designated as
Sunday School evening. The large
Sunday School with all teachers and
officers are expected to be present.
1t is announced that SO men will sing
Mr.. Sankey's song, There Were
Niney and Nine" This promises to
be very novel and interesting. Every
one is invited to this special eve
1ing.

DID GROUND HOG
SEE HIS SHADOW
MANY ASSERT HE DID NOT AND IF
THIS is TRUE BE PREPARED
FOR BREAK IN THE WEATHER
Heavy Fall of Snow Visited This Sec
tion During Last Night Train
Service Hindered Slightly

Did the grounding see his shadow
today? The belief exists among many
here that he did not,s and if this be
true, it is time to cheer up, because
the winter weather is bound to break
and very soon, for the better. Tradi-
tion says that today is the day for
the WoOdchuck or marmot to venture
forth and that if he perchance sees his
shadow he will promptly return to his
domicile and theneceforth six weeks
more of winter weather will rage. No
one will venture the assertion that the
sun peeped from behind the clouds
in which event the little ground-hog
could not have seen his shadow.
Despite this favorable outlook,
steady snow has been falling for the
past II hours and during the night it
is estimated that another six inches
had followed the fall of the previous
night Reports from the country state
that the roads are blocked with drift
ing snow caused by a steady wind,
while train service on all lines have
been more or less interrupted be-
cause of drifting snow blocking the
cuts. Despite the heavy snowfall, the
several railway lines are making her.
culean efforts to maintain their reg
ular service and thus far no inconven-
ience has resulted locally.
Among the old timers the present
snowfall is declared to be the heaviest
in this section for 20 years. Reports
from the Lewiston country tell of an
snowfall, the city of
Lewiston which is rarely visited by
SNOW, being covered by depth of
more than foot. Traffic on Nezperce
and Camas prairies has been seriously
lindered by the heavy SHOWS, but re-
ports from those sections declare that
here is yet little danger to live stock
IN the Salmon river range.
To the north of Moscow reports say
here is no cessation of the snowfall. |
Despite the present condition, farm
ers are jubilent over the outlook for
great crops. The heavy SHOWS gives
assurance of plenty of moisture in the
spring.

TACOMA, Feb. 2.-The heaviest
storm in a decade played havoc with
railroad and street car service, presag-
ing floods when the warm weather
comes. Dynamite was used in the Cas-

were mostly annulled. Milwaukee and
Northern Pacific trains were badly de-
layed 1t is believed that train serv
ce to the east will be completely
stopped tonight if the conditions con-
tinue. Following night of incessant
rain, snow is falling in Tacoma today.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-The African
liner Appam won't be allowed to leave

said that this course had practically
been determined though no formal de-

reached. The British embassy an

the Appam and a return to its owners.
The German prize crew undoubtedly
will be interned but the status of the
British army and navy officers aboard

to be evasive far into the third year
of the war, there will be few coun-

Economically, the two years of
warfare have not been disastrous for
any of the principal belligerents.
Workingmen's wages, in general,
have risen higher than the increased
cost of living. The dispatch of so
many millions of men to the front and
the use of so many millions more in
munition factories, have caused a
scarcity of ordinary labor throughout
Europe.
