Severe Cold and Snowfall.

During the past week the sevcrcst
cold period the old inhabitants recall
at the corresponding time of year has
prevailed here. Not only this, but a
very unusual amount Of snow for the
first half Of December has fallen. Traf.
fic has been blocked, the mails have
been stalled and even those people who
were obliged to be out to travel on
foot had much to contend with in the
way of drifts. which sometimes en-
vcloped them chcst-dccp. Some of the
houses were nearly buried in snow
The snow began falling lazily Thurs
day, about nightfall, and the wind blew
so fiercclv that after the stage came
in from East Dover, several hours late,
Friday morning instead of Thursday
night, and the Wilmington stage start
ed ON its trip Friday morning, few
teams were seen on the highways un-
til Saturday afternoon, when the snow
roller started ON its round.
The stage road was opened that day
ny far as the Wilmington town line.
but no mail came through from Will
mington until late Sunday afternoon.
Carl Howe. the driver of the stage
from East Dover, was at this end Of
the route from early Friday morning,
after a night Of peril crossing the hill,
until Monday morning. OF % shcolars
in the village only l. were i'm attend
ancc at the forenoon session Friday,
while for the afternoon session only
three returned. From li inches TO two
feet of snow fell.

NEW AUTO TRAFFIC ORDINANCE
IN FORCE.

The Globe desires to call the atten-
ton Of chauffers, autoists, pedes-
TRANS, draymen and all others at
fected, to the new traffic ordinance
which appears in its columns this
week. This ordinance has been draft
ed with great care by the city dads
with purpose of protecting the in
terests Of all parties concerned and to
prevent unnecessary confusion on our
streets and possible serious accidents.
1t is taken In part from ordinances
now In force In several of the best
cities and towns in the Inland Empire,
and has been made the least exacting
possible with due consideration to
safety and the facilitating OF travel.
1t Is the duty Of all citizens to study
this law and get points fixed In their
minds that they may conform to its
requirements, for it is the intention
to enforce 1t. In addition to publish
ing the ordinance In the Globe as the
official paper, as required by law, the
city administration has ordered 500
booklets printed, handy for pocket
use, containing the new law, so that
all can be supplied with the same, and
there will be no good grounds for par
ties concerned pleading ignorance
should they violate the same and be
called to meet the penalty. The rights
of teamsters, autoists and footmen are
all given equal consideration by the
lawmakers.

A SYNOPSIS OF THE WAR.

Our government did, not declare war
on Germany. 1t declared that state
OF war existed, because Germany was
already committing acts Of war ON us.
Germany was sinking American
ships and drowning American citizepa.
and declared her intention Of SO con-
tinuing to do.
Property can be paid for. The lives
OF peaceful and innocent people can
not"
Germany was paying agents to burn
and destroy American factories.
Germany was trying to incite Mexico
and Japan to fight us.
Germany was filing our country
even our government Offices with
spies and hostile agitators who sset
criminal intrigues everywhere afoot."
Self-g0verned nations do not I'll
their neighbor states with spies.v
The wrongs against which we now
array ourselves are no common
wrongs; they cut to the very root
of human life,
II we are beaten, what have we a
right to expect?
What Germany has already inflicted
on conquered peoples.
Men driven into slavery worse than
slavery.
Women driven into slavery worse
than slavery.
Huge indemnites that shall cripple
all industry and destroy the possibility
Of happiness for every citizen.
The loss OF personal freedom.
In Germany the people exist for the
sake or the military class.
In America the army exists for the
sake of the people.
The kaiser declared: .Only one il
master Of Germany, win tolerate
no other. Nothing more hencefortl
may be settled In the world without
the Intervention Of Germany and the
German emperor" ~

The Moscow Post tell how citizen
Of that educational center ruraiizeu
and what he saw as follows:
Townsman @. L. Williamson return
Oh Friday from an extended trip In
the cattle country about Boles ana
Flyblow In Idaho county. Inese
points are reached by rail as far as
Cottonwood, the last leg OF tine trip
bv horseback, a ride of thirty miles.
Mr. Williamson visited with M ".
Roming. near F1yblow and secuted
over considerable country, taking IN
North Joseph plain and South Joseph
plain and other sections or the cow
country. He finds that stockmen are
doing we'll, although the hay crop TINS
wear will be very short on account on
drouth. VIII Jones. one Oh the
prominent cattle men of the region
reported that last year he cut 10y
tons, this year on the same GROUND
he would not have more than 10 tons.
Many Of the ranches are also raising
hogs and are making good money.
The principle shipping point Tor these
stockmen Is Fem.
Mr.. Williamson tells of pioneer
and primitive means OF getting pro
ducts out from Salmon City. This
unique transportation line Is under
the management of an old timer, his
name has slipped from memory. This
Salmon river captain builds boat at
Salmon City, 20 feet by 40 feet. 1t Is
| loaded with wool and hides and any
passengers that wish an adventurous
voyage. When loaded 1t Is turned
down stream and with paddle at PROV
and stern the boat Is guided down the
Salmon river, through the eddies and
over the rapids, stopping at many
| points to take on some product OF
/ ranch or mine, or TO leave supplies fol-
both. The journey is thus continued
each day until the Snake is reached
and thence to Lewiston. There the
cargo is delivered to consignees, and
| the boat sold by the builder and own
err The last boat was sold for $40
and the owner Immediately returned to
Salmon City, to build and float again
At the time of Mr.. Williamson's visit
three boats were built ahead for the
summer traffic.
There is still some government LAND
In the Salmon river country, and q
young man with grit has good op
portunity to get ahead In the stocl
| business.
