ward A. Steiner will complete the

it is doubtful il anyone has a greater
message.
His studies of the subjects which
he presents have all been first hand
He prepared his lecture and wrote
his book on "Tolstoi" after making
a special trip to Russia to the home
of Tolstoi.
AS a speaker. his services are in
constant demand. On account of his
work as a professor in Grinnell Col
lege, his time Is so occupied that he
can fill only a limited number of
lecture engagements. Many OF his
addresses are in the largest halls and
before the largest audiences in Amer
lea.
In November 1912, DR.. Steiner
spoke before more than 5000 in

TO Weigh MAIL
ESTIMATE ON SPACE BASIS
BEGIN WEIGHING MAIL
MARCH ~.

A period of 35 days of weighing
mail will begin March 27th, accord
ing to Postmaster VIM. Lowe of the
Madison office. Formerly this was
done once in four years, and is de
signed to form a basis for estimat-
ing the cost Of carrying charges of
the railroads.
Mr.. Lowe states that ii Is now
proposed to estimate on the space
used in the ears instead Of on the
weight, as formerly. The weighing
will be done in order TO determine
tho two methods compare. on
mail carried in mail ears, express
cars or other cars.
The mail has been estimated ac-
cording to the weight, as stated.
Now. it is proposed to estimate on
a space three feet wide all round
the car, all Of which will be consid-
cred occupied, ever if there is but
one sack or pouch in the car.
At Madison the office has no other
information than that the local office
force will have to weigh the Sunday
mail. On that day of the week there
Is no clerk on the train from Sioux
CITY. nor on the n returning there;

ELECTRIC Line
HOWARD WINFRED ELECTRIC
LINE BEING SURVEYED
MATERIAL COST.

w. d. Moore and Bert Bowel, of
the civil engineering office of G. A.
are in the territory be-
tween Howard and Winfred, survey
ing for the setting of poles for the
transmission line between the two
places. The storm caught them on
the line somewhere, we are informed,
and the headquarters office has not
heard from the men.
In connection with the above ii
might be mentioned that the copper
wire for the transmission line was
bought at a cost of 3S cents a pound.
The expense of installing such a line
at this time is thus brought to ones
attention. OF course the war done
it. They use so much copper to shoot
at the enemy. In passing it might
be observed, that. to follow out the
logic, they are also shooting toma-
toes. writing paper and barn paint at
them-these articles have risen in
price enormously.

AFTER THE BLOW
NO TRAINS-NO FREIGHT OR
MAII-TWO-DAY TIE-UP
AT LEAST.

Train Dispatcher Moore observed
this morning that there would
be no train service before Monday.
The local yards has no pillow equal to
the task Of going through the soft
snow of the late fall, packed as ii
is i'm the cuts. In the cuts the for
mer snow was opened out just wide
enough to allow trains TO pass. Sub
sequent thaws made the walls of this
almost solid ice; nothing less than
rotary plows will clear it away.
1t is estimated that a foot of snow
fell during yesterday, and the wind
blew it into depressions and behind
distractions. Snow fences erected
by railroads were designed to pro
tect against northwest winds and
SHOWS; this storm made them use
less, coming from another direction,
and finding every cross cut open to
receive a full measure of the driving
snow.
A pillow was started from Bristol
this morning. but the now was
drifting badly. and had the effect of
filling the way as fast as cleared.
On other and foreign lines the same
difficulty is encountered, and they
are as tightly snowbound as is this
line.
There is said to be a rotary snow
pillow at Austin, and this will un-
doubtedly be sent out to clear the
tracks. 1t has much and strenuous
work to do. and if depended on to
clear the west and north ends, will
require several days. There is alb
solutely nothing doing in any line of
freight or mail transportation. A
girl, mailing a package at the post
office this morning, was told that the
parcel would go out on the first
mail; that there was one promised
for the second of June.
on the streets Of Madison today
the activity was that of |shoveling
walks. Egan avenue presented an
appearance of a railroad construction
gang, working frenziedly under the
eye Of an exacting bosom one side.
The west side stood laughing content
eddy at the predicament of those on
the other side. Area ways and grated
windows are full and sealed up.
The progress of horse vehicles is
difficult and in most places impos-
sible. Motors, of course are not us
ing much gasoline today. Deliver
les Of supplies in town were effected,
with great difficulty, and numerous
teams have been stuck in drifts and
extracted with great labor.
The storm is said to extend over
the whole northwest. Wires seem
to be working very well, though
there had TO be much of what, in line
work, is technically known as
patching" - crossing wires from
line TO line on office switchboards.
W. may get the news, though we
shall not be able to get materials.
Later in the afternoon-about 4
o'elock-Dispatcher Moore said that
they had started a snow pillow toward
Egan. He held strong hopes but lit
tie faith of their success. Another,
coming from Bristol this way, is also
laboring heavily.
A storm. reported on the street to
be approaching Is denied by Mr..
Moore. He says he knows nothing
of any organized or extensive storm,
but that it is squally in all parts of
the affected territory, and snow is
blowing into cleared cuts in a short
while after the snow plows nave
made their way through.
